I finally got to fire the AC back up on my house today


I got that going for me

I have my fan on at my desk today.

It's going to drop to 27 tonight with a Winter Weather Advisory about to take effect.

Can't wait for Dallas people to lose their mind when a millimeter of snow falls from the sky.

I don't disagree.

Problem is it's a double-edged sword. Let's be honest, the only reason we're all sitting here being crotchety about it is because we're on the short end of the stick (assuming you're white).

If there WAS no Rooney Rule or Affirmative Action in place and ethnicities were complaining, we'd all be telling them to "pick themselves up by their bootstraps" and "suck it up!" Most would turn a blind eye because it wouldn't affect them personally.

It's a lose-lose.

Oh my god, no we aren't.

Again. 75% of the population in America is white.

There is no short end for us. FFS.

college debt is now the biggest issue for 30 somethings out there

really is a pain in the a$$ to get an overpriced piece of paper

- homiedclown


It’s absolutely insane that u need to go into crazy debt to get an education now-a-days

State colleges should be free
Or there should at least be some sort of debt forgiveness program in place

i got lucky.. the school i went to i paid around 12k a year (not including room and board) about 2 years after i graduated it cost around 20k to go there and i think now its almost or could be over 30k a year. i also paid for all my school but the final semester out of pocket and help from parents. i then took a 3% loan on the remaining amount which i paid off in like 5 years.

pengiuns have a crappy prospect pool though

unless we send them 2 and get maatta back

- homiedclown



Only takes one or 2 guys that Jbotts knows well to make a deal. He has been with the baby penguins for years.

I would think jbotts has the best "inside" information in the business

Tmgm traded with ottawa in a similar fashion
And anahiem

Jbotts also has a long relationship with shero in nj. I could see them working well together.
