HB91???

I'm a Capitalist. Not by choice, but because it's the game you have to play to get ahead in life.
Sure you are. You just wear your mask and shut your mouth and cover your eyes like a good little sheep….
 
So forsythco did you bother to check out the web site I suggested? It goes against you narrative so I guess you can’t comment on it.

Lol, 800k don't mean shit to you? I bet you go all out for 9/11.
Lost jobs? UPS and Amazon are always hiring.
Biden handouts? Trump gave them as well.
100 containers sitting? A bigger problem that stems from logistical issues from the beginning of the pandemic.
10k illegal aliens? All business have to do is not hire them and they won't come.

I've done nothing but level up during this pandemic. Better job, more money, working from home, growing investments, more free time. But I can do that since I'm educated and skilled. So I wouldn't say your opinion of me fits at all.

EDIT: Also to comment on Biden. I don't care who's president. I thrive under whoever's in office.
Educated and ignorant are often confused by some.....
 
These two statements are oxymoron when stated by the same person. You're either (1). delusional, or (2). terrible at lying, or (3). impaired.
They come for work. People here hire them for cheap labor. If business didn’t hire them, they wouldn’t seek to come here in the numbers that they do.

Wrong again...... Companies hire them because they do the work Americans refuse to do and do it better in most cases. An added benefit is their wages are typically at a lower initial rate, its not why I hire them. That is not the end game as I have several under me making well into 6 figures doing work that my friends won't.

Americans will do work if we feel it's worth the pay. These companies don't want to pony up the money, so they hire illegals. Everyone has a price. These companies get away with not paying competent wages by hiring illegals and since the federal and most state governments do nothing about it, companies will continue to hire illegals. It's an open invitation to over stay visa and cross the border.

Entitled much? "if we feel it's worth the pay"..... that mentality is the problem with the American workforce. Did you miss the part where I mentioned that I have multiple immigrants earning over 100k/year for work I could not find someone born in this country to do?

Nope. Didn't miss it at all. My point still stands. If we feel it's worth the pay we will do it. Entitled? Maybe, but it's the option that we have as Americans. Freedom and all that jazz.

So what is it you would prefer to be? Socialist, Communist, Atheist ? If you would promise to leave, I’d start a “Go Fund Me “ page to send you to Russia, Argentina or Cuba. Sounds like you would fit in quite well in either of those societies.

I would prefer to live in a proper mixed economy that's well regulated and that practices capitalism with well rounded safety nets for it's citizens to spur innovation and allows it's citizens to take risk whether it's education, medical, tech, etc... Similar to Sweden and Norway. Of course no place is perfect, but it's the closes to my ideal situation.

Also, Atheisms is a non-belief in religion. Not an economic philosophy. I don't even know why you included that.
 
Again, if your willing to go & STAY I’ll be glad to start a “Go Fund Me” for you to go to Norway ! I’m sure they would welcome you with open arms

Well I don't need to go anywhere. Like I said, I'm doing well right here in the US. I don't know where you got the idea that I wanted to leave... You keep coming up with scenarios in your head trying to paint a picture of me and everything you've said has been wrong. It's really sad.

Tell me something. Have you lived in Belmont your whole life? Have you been able to live amongst others who share different views than you? Have you been able to get money with people that share different beliefs and see all of your differences go out the window because the reward was much more fulfilling? Just some questions.

I know a lot of atheistic capitalists. Just sayin’.
 
Elephants are large land mammals. Yes, yes & no. I don’t really understand what your third question is referring to.

That wasn't my point though. Religion or lack of a religion had no bearing on my economic principles. The guy is just throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks with his baseless accusations of who I am.
 
Like most liberals I know you seem to take everything literally, you do not appear to have a sense of humor and you mistake education for intelligence. Other than those three flaws your probably a nice guy, especially when your asleep.
 
All the liberal vs conservative insults are entertaining as always but the real crux of the matter is vaccinations and the disconnect we're having in the US about their safety and effectiveness. Why is 40% of the country ignoring reality when it comes to the Covid vaccines but were fine with the vaccines that came before it? What made you folks into anti-vaxxers and is there anything that will change your mind? Please advise.

I'm not an anti-vaxxer given they are vetted and proven. IMO the current options are not proven to be beneficial enough to outweigh the unknown risks. Vaccines generally prevent the taker from contracting a virus. That is not the case with these vaccines.
 
HB 91 does not have a damn thing to do with COVID, vaccines, or presidential politics. Just how will the State Board of Education affect the operations of the NCHSAA and how will it affect high school sports in general? 🤔

With the new variants out there the vaccines available will likely keep you out of the hospital/death but they are only about 50% effective from keeping you from getting the virus. I'd say at this point the risks aren't unknown anymore. We have over 200 million people in the US alone who are fully vaccinated and we aren't seeing severe side affects outside of a small number of cases. I worked with 4 people who have died from covid so for me its a no brainer to get the shots. Maybe you'll change your mind over time. In any case, thank you for answering my question. I appreciate your candor.
 
A question I have that's bothering me a good bit with this new "government oversight" is....for instance....
Will this now allow the SBE and Cooper to mandate all student althetes be required to get the vaccination or else lose the ability to be invlolved in sports across the state of NC? The way i read hb91, it stated that a governing body such as the NCHSAA or whoever agrees with their law of the land, mainly the Lions share of power being given to both the SBE and Coopers office both!? I known the NCHSAA has been complete garbage in more ways than one in the past and I'm personally not a Que Tucker fan myself....will this situation be any better or even worse?? Thoughts gentlemen? Am I reading this wrong or does anyone else also smell something thats potentially a little rank here in the near future with this "government oversight"??? I posted this comment on a thread already addressing hb91 under the 1A forum as well but thought some of the 3A peeps I've enjoyed chatting with might wanna weigh in as well....Watcha think men?
The NCHSAA has not always been the best, but for Que to shoulder the majority of the blame is crazy. The boys club ran the association for years before she did and I have heard many old coaches complain about the way they do things. The government oversight is mainly concerning the endowment and the non-profit status etc.... that endowment stuff started over 30 some odd years ago. " Money and Power"

And the North Carolina legislature epitomizes the worship of both. Talk about the fox guarding the hen house.
