OT: Why on earth would you live in....

So again, why is it do you think that "Young people (even with solid jobs) struggle to afford a decent apartment (forget about buying a house)?"

It is a super popular place to live. A lot of rich people want to live there. This country has a lot of rich people. California is for rich people. If you arent rich, you probably shouldn't live there. You guys dont fully grasp what you are saying.

Its basic supply and demand. There are X number of places to live in California. There are way more than X number of people who want to live there. Demand exceeds supply. Price = high. Sure, there are absolutely people who cant afford it and they move.

As I've said countless times before... you should be blaming Tomlin not Kenny. KP actually performed to the level of a 2nd half of the 1st round QB. The Steeler's org, fans, and more importantly media, expected Big Ben.

I don't usually discuss Steelers stuff on this board. I hardly follow them anymore beyond the casual stuff. I've never been a big fan of Tomlin. Tomlin reached on Kenny. He gambled and lost. However, he's been on record about the desire to keep KP. Didn't he say the whole "we want volunteers not hostages" when it came about that he was going to have to compete with Russ? Also, isn't it on record that Russ said to Kenny "I look forward to competing with you?"

I'm in agreement that most of the Steelers troubles have been Tomlin's more then anyone else's.

Even by your standards, that's dumb. There are changes in the tax code that benefit some people and hurt other people all the time. Pretty much every time they make changes. The vast majority of tax payers came out either ahead or even with those changes. But a very few upper middle class tax payers didn't, and for some reason that pisses you off.

I think you should protest that next year by declining the standard deduction and itemize your deductions instead and pay more taxes. That will show those IRS bastards!

You cannot cut taxes for billionaires and corporations and raise taxes for some couple making 300K. Its not right. Cut taxes for everyone then.

For whom? CA standard of living is on the decline. Young people (even with solid jobs) struggle to afford a decent apartment (forget about buying a house). High taxes, high crime, homelessness. It's a real paradise. It does have great weather (on the coast). Go inland to Modesto and you might as well be in Oklahoma.

Everything you cited in this thread is from a Dulac report. Every single thing. You should consider your source a bit wiser. Or at least take it with a grain of salt.

Was it "just" Dulac reporting on the Cincy game when Kenny didn't dress? I seem to remember Kaboly, Madden, and the 93.7 crew reporting the same thing. Dejan seemed to be the only reporter going in the opposite direction.

How low was the Steelers' offer if Boyd Signed for $4.5 at Tennessee?

Source: WR Boyd agrees to contract with Titans

Receiver Tyler Boyd is signing with the Tennessee Titans on a one-year deal worth up to $4.5 million, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Tuesday.

Boyd signed for 4.5 now because options were growing short. The Steelers along with other teams offered more than that a while back and Boyd rejected them. Word was he was holding out for 8 million early in the process. The Steelers offered in the range of 5 million and refused to go higher. I can’t prove this but that was the rumor at the time.

The story was they offered 2 years, $10 million and he walked. Maybe he thinks he can take slightly less on a one year deal and make more next year although it did take a long time for him to sign so who knows.

It's a lot more likely that he turned down 2 years and $10 million (if that was ever really on the table) because he thought he was going to get more. So the Stillers moved on. And then Boyd found out that he wasn't, in fact, going to get more. But by then the Stillers weren't interested.

A lot of interesting comments and opinions here on these players. It does seem
like Verdi has more talent and depth (except for King of course). Also much
needed height. I like the fact that these transfers are coming from programs
like Kentucky, Colorado, Clemson, and maybe Miami etc. The fact that Hutcherson
transferred to an A10 program speaks volumes. I do wish her well and I feel
she'll do better at that level. I've been posting the last few years that Pitt was
a team made up of A-10 level talent.

I don't see any superstar so far, but now Verdi has numbers, and numbers who
can play better than what he had last season. Let's not forget the players he has
coming back. It'll be interesting to see how they blend with each other and what
kind of rotation can made of the entire group.

It's all just a way for politicians to pander to voters.

But what most voters don't seem to get is that the politicians are helping out their rich buddies more than they are helping them. They're happy that they got an extra dollar, and never mind the fact that they are giving someone else a hundred. I got a dollar! Lucky me!

And then you have people like SMF, who would apparently rather itemize his deductions and pay more taxes than not itemize them and pay less. I believe the technical name for people like that is "ill-informed".

The non-technical name wouldn't be nearly so polite.

I take the standard deduction. I think you should understand by now that if they absolutely must feel the need to have people deduct SALT on Schedule A, then it should be uncapped. Capping it hurts some upper middle class folks who would have paid less taxes pre 2017. For the millionth time, you cant come out with a tax cut where a very small percentage of people are actually paying more.

That's the point. Only in America can we think of a system where fitlhy rich dudes and average Joe's come together to spend money that they have no use for on players to play for their favorite college team. Try explaining this system to a European. They'd think we are insane. But everyone is rich.
