brvheart 1,752 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 On Facebook this week Randy Reed and one of his friends gave me crap for saying something similar about a Mother Jones article and a talkingpointsmemo article. They said I was too lazy to read, and just because the source was biased, didn't mean it was wrong. That being said: Wall Street Journal HealthZette article by Dr. Ramin Oskoui, a cardiologist Forbes article about how great it is and how no GOP members will even talk about getting rid of it Politico article about how they dropped it 2 years later. (Jonathan Gruber, a member of the Connector board and also an MIT economist who helped model the state and federal health laws. Only days ago, Gruber had termed the odds of a move to HealthCare.gov as “low.” "If it can fail in Massachusetts, it can fail anywhere,” Ryan Williams added.) Reason.com Washington Post I think with macro-economic policy, it's almost impossible to have a reasonable conversation, because it's just SO complex. There are so many moving parts, that it's nearly impossible to see the effects and understand the causes and solutions. Also, as I was saying before, teachers salaries vary wildly by state, but get high near retirement age. "A teacher with 32 years of experience would have made a top-of-the-scale salary of $81,000 in 2010, according to the Royal Oak teacher’s union contract." http://www.northjers...336376?page=all Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 The sooner we go to universal health care and some type of universal basic income in lieu of "welfare" the better IMO. Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Also, my insurance premiums haven't gone up a none normal amount but maybe that's cause we've always had really good insurance and were already obamacare compliant. Link to post Share on other sites
hank213 1,823 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Oh I'm not going to read any of that other stuff either, there's just no particular motivation behind it like there was with cato institute hackery. I simply wanted you to provide a source that, at least on the surface, tries to paint itself a little more neutral for the edification of the sucker who might read your sources. bazinga?

brvheart 1,752 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Strat, here's a link to a .pdf of teacher salaries at one district in Illinois. http://www.ipsd.org/...Report_FY14.pdf You might notice a presumably married couple toward the top with 27 sick days per year and a combined 189k/year in base salary.

Obviously gender is a social construct, but call me old fashion, because I believe that a woman's place is in the home. If your partner identifies as female, and you have to rent her out like a donkey to local businesses to make endsmeat, you probably need to work smarter. I'm sure Tilty agrees with me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 tilty is dead and buried. let no one even speak his name from this time on. teachers making 90k is interesting. are we talking a high school cause that seems like a lot. Link to post Share on other sites

InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I don't ever want to be blatantly overpaid. sounds stupid to say that, and I'd find a way to deal with the stress if I ever find myself in that position, but I don't want to be a mark for some efficiency-minded person. I don't want to get used to something that's probably not going to last. Link to post Share on other sites

CobaltBlue 662 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Doesn't that just mean that they get the 3% now and then also another 3% later in her retirement pool? Or is this pool for other people and she's not expecting to ever see that money? The latter. Link to post Share on other sites

David_Sklansky 1,903 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Did Tilty explicitly leave or has he just disapeared? Like a rump roast? There are all different ways for a woman to make money, and I'm not sure any of them are any more respectable than the last. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Napa Lite 3,278 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 It's a damn shame, too. In my researching of starting a tax prep business one of the biggest money makers is offering return advances. I thought if anybody could talk me into it, it would've been Tilt. Link to post Share on other sites
Theraflu 1,035 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 This is rich. Why? I mean, she's obviously good at her job, but it doesn't entail a whole lot. Mostly just overseeing other people, helping with budget stuff. Getting grants. It's a good gig. Link to post Share on other sites

Doing very little is the hallmark of someone who is good at their job. If I look like I'm doing a lot, that means I have bad systems in place. If I do my job right, it looks easy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
