Yeah I do.  You all think someone making like $48k in 1973 can just put some money into a magical investment account and all of a sudden they are millionaires after a few years

 

Do the math dumbarses, no it is not easy to become a millionaire if you became a senator in 1973.  Just stop this bull ish, youre only arguing because I trigger you

I did do the math you nitwit.  He averaged a salary of $102k over 37 years.  

You forgot living expenses in your little diatribe. I doubt he could have put away 20% of his roughly $50k average salary over the first 20 years of his career. 

Lets pretend he never ate, paid rent, or bought anything at all, Ill take out 30% of his take home pay for those costs (for normal people who require food and housing its usually more).  But accounting for taxes and modest living expenses his total take home pay over 37 years is less than $850k.  

His career contributions would be less than $170k over a 37 year period.

 

Also, I love how you guys are now going from "its so easy to become a millionaire senator" to "maybe over his entire career he could have a retirement savings of a million dollars".

 Thats not the same as being a f'ing millionaire.  Jesus. 

Just admit you guys misread my post.  Im not talking about his VP speaking fees or book deals, Im talking about the original statement that he "easily" became a millionaire on his senators salary.  No, he did not.  

 

:lol: 

Reminder that an engineering degree requires passing 4 levels of calc, so yeah Mike, you're an "engineer" in the same way that Procus is a "lawyer."

  • While I disagree with Biden trying to save these idiots from themselves, it just proves what a wonderful human being he is. IMO we should encourage Trumpbots to all give each other Covid so they die o

@Mike31mt 

Nice try but that diploma was an obvious forgery meant to conceal where you actually graduated from:

The school pushes their kids out the door with a degree.  That's awesome.  

 

Unfortunately, that is just about every public high school in America right now, and we wonder why we're losing ground...:nonono:

The White House will convene a national conference on dietary health and food security Wednesday, for the first time in over 50 years, to launch a national campaign that seeks to tackle high obesity rates and end persistent hunger in the United States by 2030.

The Post’s Andrew Jeong reports that in a 44-page summary of its dietary policies to be unveiled at the conference, the Biden administration pledged to make healthful food more affordable and accessible and to invest in expanding physical-activity options and enhancing research on food and nutrition.

Per Andrew:

Among the specific policies President Biden has promised: expanding free school meals to 9 million more children in the next decade; improving transportation options for an estimated 40 million Americans who have low access to grocery stores or farmers markets; reducing food waste (one-third of all food in the United States goes uneaten, the White House says); conducting more screenings for food insecurity; educating health-care providers on nutrition; reducing sodium and sugar in U.S. food products; addressing marketing that promotes fast food, sugary drinks, candy and unhealthy snacks; and building more parks in "nature-deprived communities.” …
President Richard M. Nixon was the first to convene a White House conference on hunger in 1969, and this week’s conference has roots in a recent bipartisan push. Last year, Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), a longtime proponent of the fight against hunger, introduced a bill that would allot funds to hold a White House conference on food and health. The bill was co-sponsored by Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.) and Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.).

Yeah, Wake County down here said to have been 100 teachers short at the beginning of this school year.  That's a national problem, even with attendance dropping.  

I bet the growing anti-teacher sentiment from the right is sure to help turn things around there.

I bet you would deduce that.  Stunning.  

Yeah, anyone could deduce that.  Because it’s common sense.

No different than when I call out the left for the growing anti-cop sentiment. Defund the police is as dumb as it gets, and those who disagree will eventually realize it when they get to see the difference between the cops working in a decent well-funded police dept in a community that values them, vs the cops who work in a dept that's woefully underfunded and been ish on by their community for years.

My local school district couldn’t find enough teachers so they’re trying to teach some kids online.
