Enjoy Saturday night in your Streeterville hidey hole, I’m almost positive you won’t encounter any violent crime.
Your first sentence - which is just a restatement of what I said - is correct. Everything else you typed is a lie.
I’m not tryna fool anybody here. You triflin’. I like trying out different names, they already took away the only one that ever mattered.
Legal education has gone downhill. In many classes strong Socratic teaching is gone forever. The multiple choice bar exams probably started the downward spiral. But students expecting to be trained as advocates for a cause instead of being a good lawyer for people added to the mix. law schools are cranking out graduates, but that doesn’t mean they are cranking out lawyers. Now I see that states are contemplating reducing bar passing requirements to advance equity. (?) several years ago, I had a long talk with a representative from my law school about my continued giving. I told him I didn’t want to support what legal education had become, he understood.
Is as close to anyone can get, since you, the supposed expert, have refused to answer all posts directly asking you to explain what the hell you are actually talking about.
sounds like you made the right decision coh. that has to be a good feeling looking back
The best and most informative time in law school was torts in general and the classes about Palsgraf in particular. (Remember my eraser story? Great object lesson). That is where we learned all about proximate cause—the key to not only law, but I think invaluable to thinking. We never talked much about the philosophy of spreading the risk, instead we talked about the policy behind shifting the burden of loss from the one who suffered it to another person(s). The same thought process is imbedded in Critical Race Theory in that is also all about reasons for shifting burdens.
It’s how he has “conversations”
I played with and against him on the Jeffersonville hard courts a few times. I scored on him. Once.
That’s actually an interesting question. How many of the more regular WC posters would qualify as millionaires wrt net worth?
I'll get the trailer appraised and get back with you.
I drove by the really nice trailer park today on the way to the base golf course. I really do think I’d love living there if my wife wasn’t vetoing the idea,
Mcm, you, Colorado, Morrison, Hoops (somehow), MTIOF, Stoll, Ranger, JDB.
You may be right. We need a poll. My net worth in the ‘80s and part of the 90s was less than zero. My family history is about the same all together. Our situations do change.
a million really isn't that much these days. my stoker's pop died and was worth a little over a mil. guy never made six figures. no degree. worked at a chemical plant
Families are always rising and falling in America. I grew up at the country club due to my grandparents real estate empire. None of their 8 kids can afford it now that they’ve passed.
of that stat i pulled about 20 million millionaires it said 80 percent are self made
Well, it’s quite a lot to those of us that grew up on the poor side of the tracks. I never believed I was destined to stay there. Not that I didn’t enjoy it.
yeah he grew up the same way. worked for 38 years in the same industry and while his income was never large he lived frugally and invested. adds up
Assets less debt? Ehhhhh I don’t know. A lot of it is kids’ 529 plans and that’s not really worth. That shit is gonna get spent.
Actual studies show that over 40% of Americans are in the same wealth quintile as their parents. Our mobility sucks compared to the developed world.
I was definitely in both categories. If people start saving early most will become millionaires. I know there are people who can't afford to save but a lot who say they can't could if they just managed better. When I was working the company that I worked for matched up to 6% of your salary in their savings plan yet I knew several people that weren't in it.
That may or may not be true for all developed countries. But for sure our education system sucks and that has a lot to do with mobility. We also tend to be very elitist and that affects mobility. If you are not from a handful of Ivy League schools good luck in big time business, government, law, or academia. And those schools have an awful lot of legacy admission.
People are just plain dumb with money, period. And it's not just the poor or uneducated.
LOL. Many good conservatives are in government or are judges and they are also elitists from the privileged Ivy League. And crappy education doesn’t inhibit upward mobility? Are you serious? Not everything divides along the liberal/conservative continuum.
There are many ways to measure value. I found that my net worth increased the most as my kids grew out of being adolescents and into adults.
So, what constitutes crappy education in inner cities? How does it differ from charter/private/parochial? What's going on in those classrooms? What are those evil liberal teachers doing...teaching CRT 24/7?
It is ubiquitous and it is responsive. MLK’s I Have aDream speech is in the dumpster now because of CRT. The whole concept of the US being born in original sin, all white people are racist, and reparations are outgrowths of CRT because politicians are too weak and stupid to engage in the hard discussions about why we have persistent racial underachieving. It doesn’t need to be this way. The silver lining is that Blacks who know different are finding a voice in public discourse.
You have neither answered any of my questions, nor responded to my post at all. You used to chastise posters on here with the refrain of "Trump, Trump, Trump". Well, your version is "CRT, CRT, CRT."
I am hoping someone will take up the question as to why it is a good thing we sell guns to people who want to commit suicide by cop
