@CoHoosier?

What are the real rules? Does a President ever win one?

I agree with a lot of this article. I think significantly reducing childhood trauma would lead to a host of better societal outcomes. I just don't know how, or if, it can be done, or if it could be, whether enough people would buy in.

From the article:

**the CDC study concluded that childhood violence is the most costly public health issue in the US, calculating that the overall costs exceeded those of cancer or heart disease. It estimated that eradicating childhood violence in the US would reduce the overall rate of depression by more than half, alcoholism by two-thirds, and suicide, serious drug abuse, and domestic violence by three-quarters. Moreover, preventing exposure to violence and abuse would significantly affect job performance, and vastly decrease the need for incarceration. In fact, about 95 percent of violent inmates suffer from childhood experiences with violence and abuse. That, of course, is not limited to the US, but is relevant to children around the world.

**Compared with girls of the same age, race and social conditions, sexually abused girls suffer from a range of profoundly negative effects: difficulties learning, depression, troubled sexual development, high rates of obesity and self-mutilation. They dropped out of school at much higher rates and had more serious medical illnesses. This study, and numerous others like it, underscore the reality that supporting high-quality early caregiving is critically important in preventing physical, social and mental health problems, regardless of traumas that occur outside the family.

**John Heckman, winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize in Economics, has shown that quality early childhood programmes that involve parents and promote basic skills in disadvantaged children more than pay for themselves in improved outcomes. Economists have calculated that every dollar invested in high-quality home visiting, daycare, and preschool programmes results in $7 in savings on welfare payments, healthcare costs, substance abuse treatment, and incarceration, plus higher tax revenues due to better-paying jobs.

If it's been covered on here, I haven't seen it.

While I don't watch as much college basketball as I used to, I'm an NBA Draft nerd (among other nerdisms), and after the NBA lottery is conducted, I absorb a ton of content about it. As they have gotten deeper into the weeds of it, including some breakdowns of mid-2nd round guys and lower, multiple podcasts have noted last year TJD would've gone much higher, but he was unwilling to sign a two-way contract with the interested club.

A two-way contract is a contract that pays a player for his time in the G League at G League scale, but your games in the NBA are paid at the NBA scale.

Typically there are prospects who are better off not getting drafted in the 2nd round because there is no guarantee. It's better to work with a club who could need or want to fill that position. Sometimes it's a team that doesn't have a 2nd round pick or a team that just isn't ready to pick you when they do. It does give the player some control.

The context has mostly been the recent news that Bronny would not be signing a two-way, and the comparison being made to that disposition is to TJD.

Of course the idea of guaranteed contracts aren't always just about how talented a player is. It's about roster spots and/or how it impacts the cap. If a club signed TJD to a contract but cut him, not only would they still have to pay him but his contract would remain on their cap until it expired.

So this was TJD betting on himself, and as it played out, it was also Golden State believing in him. It's going to pay off for both parties.

So the Biden admin appointed Special Counsel is moving ahead with felony charges against Hunter for lying on the checkoff form when he bought a gun, claiming he wasn't a drug user.

Have at it.

Leads Indiana Jr. All Stars with 27 against KY. Sorry if I missed something, but is he on IU's radar?

Louisville PD has to be the most ham fisted bunch of incompetents in world. First Breonna Taylor, now arresting the #1 golfer in the world on his way to a major championship. The biggest dork in the world.

Dell told workers to classify themselves as hybrid workers or remote. If hybrid, they have to work out of an office 40 days per quarter. If remote, they forfeit promotions and getting hired into other Dell jobs.

1/2 chose remote.

It was believed Dell did this to trim their workforce without paying any severance. Dell really only has one set of offices, in Austin. Others are too small or don't exist. I know people that moved back to Austin because it really was the only choice.

Half forgoing promotion is a lot. I suspect many will go elsewhere over time. Apple is having similar issues with workers. It appears workers are still demanding more flexibility.
