Wealthy people buy expensive cars and boats, clothes, luxury items, restaurants, etc. It adds up a lot. Also business pay a lot of sales tax as well. While income taxes seem more progressive one big problem in Oregon is it doesn't give any of the large personal standard deductions or exemptions...

Yeah as said depends on where. I had one on my knee and it was no big deal at all as most your body is out of the machine. Was super loud and annoying to hear but not a big deal to where I would ever prepare for it. Something on your head might be the worst. Also depends if you are...

Yes agree with Wiz interpretation. Even if innocent Billups was arrested and not coaching the Blazers . Likely that is grounds for the Blazers to not pay him any of his contract.

Presumption of innocence is a concept for criminal charges brought by the government. It has never had an impact on civil actions or private parties. Being arrested is a clear violation of many if not most people's employment. You can rightly be fired for being late to work, being slow at...

I never thought DameCJ 2.0 would actually have both Dame AND CJ!

I like sales tax. Have rent, groceries, medical, daycare, utilities all excluded. Those are the painful big expenses for poor people. You dont want to pay it - simply don't buy stuff. A bunch of poor people spend money on ipones, TV's, Nike's, streaming, cars they shouldn't buy, restaurants...

Is Dame still renting Jrue Milwaukee house? If so he can sub lease to Grant!

Yang had eye opening performance at the NBA combine and summer league. Will he pan out? Who knows - maybe not and he ends up being a total flop. Maybe he improves greatly in a year or two and is at the least a solid rotational player. But kind of crazy all the posters here who were excited for...

I don't think the Bucks will trade Giannis in the next two months. Then in the summer they will shop both their 2031+2033 picks unprotected with a 2032 swap. That can likely get them a near allstar level sidekick.

Get their 2031 pick! Would make it even more critical for them to involve us in a Giannis trade during the summer.

Yeah there's certainly ways to have some sugar or alcohol or whatever but find a system that works for you where you can minimize it. For me personally it's easier to just cut them out completely. One cookie would have nearly zero impact on me. But one turns to two turns to a box and the then...

For me understanding what fatty liver is, how body stores glycegen, insulin spikes (and harm), and all the systems that sugar destroys in the body has made me disgusted by it. Only sugar I get now is whole fruits or smoothies which I really enjoy. Chocolate chip cookies used to be something I...

Congrats, that's very impressive progress. Exercise will certainly help too. Just be slow and careful with new activities, critical you don't get injured. I can try to jump back to do something just like I'm 20 but have to always remember to ramp very slowly.

Depends what were giving up. If its second round picks or something then sure why not. I'd rather see him playing than Caleb Love. Many thought Deni was a niche fit or irrelevant long term. Not every good trade is going to bring in an immediate high level starter. I wouldn't give up a FRP for...

I'm actually much more surprised that some people are surprised by Trumps tweet - than I am surprised by Trumps tweet.
