I see an easy cut to athletics right away. The NCAA requires each school to have 10 teams and UAA has 13. Get rid of 3 and you'll save money and still uphold the NCAA requirements. Keep the teams that are found at both UAA and UAF so that there is cheap competition nearby, not to mention a rivalry that builds interest and support among residents. | 0 | not toxic |
It will be a great comfort to Trump, as the dragnet closes and his cronies are inevitably held to account by the intrepid Mueller, that he will always have the bizarre support of the same half-dozen guys at the online Globe.

The primary Trump negotiation tactic appears to be the imposition of emotional distress upon the public, without regard to cost, in terms of suffering. Moving the embassy to Jerusalem really does nothing more than provoke one side, and commit the other to risk, with the US gaining nothing but stress and exposure to further risk and probable loss of life in doing so. Same with healthcare reform. Same with tax reform. Same with climate change policy. And it appears the President loves the attention, good and bad, negative and positve, he gets from the distress and chaos that ensues. This is no way to live. Our lives are less rich today than they were four months ago. On the left, there is anger but also confusion. On the right, a wierd mixture of glee, uncertainty and confusion. On both sides, fear. Admit it. Regardless of your side. We are simply servants and audience to macabre threats issued for the entertainment of one person's off kilter needs. How did it come to this? | 0 | not toxic |

Out of 27 men in 2 halfway houses but 4 of us worked, and 2 worked for the program. The rest were social parasites. For sure, it was cheaper to tax my overtime pay and give them welfare than sending them to prison for their criminal behavior but they continued to prey on our community, and therein those costs are never factored in.

"But what has struck me is the outcry from the educated white class. Those gatekeepers to media and what passes for culture these days.

But none of these people uttered a peep about Obama and his CIA support for radical head chopping takfiri killers in Syria, and not a word when Hillary Clinton and Victoria Nuland (and John McCain) orchestrated the coup in Ukraine that installed a full on Nazi Party, complete with swastikas.

Your numbers are incorrect. 1/3 does not go to those that make over 100K. Of that 1/3, 25 to 39 % goes to federal income tax. So, low wage earners have had a greater benefit from the PFD over the years because the pay little or no income taxes on it. And high income tax payers fund the federal welfare programs the poor rely on. So cut the upper 1/3's PFDs off and you essentially shaft the poor because the feds get a lot less tax revenue from Alaskans. | 0 | not toxic |

Some pro-tax comments are so naive... You think if you help the government get 15% of the purchase price, rather than it going to the rightful owner, there's something in it for you. Lenin had a term for such idi.. well, you look it up. In fact, if prices would not be so high in these first-rate cities, even fewer houses would be on the market. No way and no how will prices go down from additional taxes until reduced RE and construction activity will cause a recession (what high taxation usually does, even if it applies just to foreign investors). If you think that would be good for you at the expense of somebody else, you must be really short-sighted. | 0 | not toxic |

The American Fluoridation Society may have organized because the mainstream doesn’t want any part of them.

This issue is crystal clear, IF we understand how accounting works.
Discounts are not a taxable benefit unless their value is less than their book value to the company minus depreciation.
If the asset is perishable, and it is fully depreciated at the time of consumption it is not a taxable benefit.
A burger, for example, is fully depreciated by end of day. And therefore an employee eating it has no taxable benefit - as it would go in the garbage - proving it has zero value.
However, an employee getting a boat for free, the boat almost certainly has a book value to the employer.
For a boat manufacturer, it is the cost value of making it from raw materials, for everyone else it is the retail purchase value - regardless it is the book value - minus any depreciation on the asset.
If the burger maker gave the fully depreciated asset, it is not a taxable benefit.
If they gave away a $100 gift card to be used to buy burgers, the transaction value is $100, as there is a $100 liability. | 0 | not toxic |

That is a good question. It was not the well off. In the Scottish highlands, for example, people were living in stone houses with dirt floors and working mostly as tenant farmers. And then many were getting kicked off the land as owners switched to sheep farming. It was a very rough life for many. It was mostly the more industrious and ambitious of these people who managed to scrape together the fare to come. This is partly why Canada did so well, it was stocked by ambitious and industrious people to a large extent. | 0 | not toxic |

The Republicans (some reluctantly) embraced Trump as a useful idiot who would sign the legislation they expected a Republican congress to grind out. They underestimated not only his corruption, incompetence and instability, but also their own. Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell are easily the two biggest hypocrites and cowards in Washington, and perhaps in history (time will tell). Ryan and McConnell have a laser-like focus on one thing: taking health care away from as many people as they can in order to transfer the money to the wealthiest people in the country. They will abandon Trump when and if they determine that he is no longer a useful idiot but merely an ordinary idiot who impedes their pursuit of tax cuts for the wealthy.
Trump could have terminated Comey any time before Comey announced the investigation of the Trump campaign. After that, the termination is what it appears to be: a criminal attempt to cover up a federal investigation. History will see it as a turning point. | 1 | toxic |
