Maybe you should pay attention - been in banking and finance since 2006, and came from managing big box retail stores. But go ahead and play superior if it makes you feel better behind that keyboard.

That was kind of the point to my comment. When you get comfortable with a lifestyle and income, there is no motivation to better yourself.....or you get in a financial position where you can't without some big struggle, so you stay where you are most comfortable and don't grow. It always pulls on heartstrings when you say "struggling mother of 4", and I'm sure she is struggling. I have kids and the struggle is real sometimes, but that occasional struggle was paid back with unconditional love watching them grow up. My advice to that struggling mother of 4 is figure out a way to get out of the position your decisions put you in. It may takes you a few years but it is possible with hard work......

But it may improve hers.........

Here is what I can't make sense with. What caused so much anger that they ALL went stupid during the entire encounter. Surely one of those guys are selfish enough to think we have body cams on, there is street surveillance, and we are holding this guy up and throwing punches, beating the crap out of him, maybe we should stop to save our own butt. Yet, not one did......... That makes ZERO sense to me -
I work in banking. I was doing a mortgage for someone and reviewed their tax returns. With child credits, they paid I believe $1800 in federal income taxes and received a $9800 or $9600 refund. They had several kids. I don't think someone that makes 20K a year should pay the same percent as someone making 100K a year, it should be lower......but I don't think someone making 20K a year should get a refund 5 times what they paid in....and I don't think you should be shafted with an outrageous percent because you are successful and have more money than most.......

LOL .....exactly.

LOL, I don't turn on people because of their opinion's

He's that arrogant and self-absorbed for sure, but it surprises me you would go to Dictator. I personally feel he is upset he lost, knows there was some voter fraud, and just hates to lose. I must say the only decision he did during his Presidency that I disagreed with was the bump stock ban. I now why he did it, but didn't agree with it......and it was overturned I believe.

I think you also didn't abuse your authority and they may have respected it as well, or at least in part for the decision to leave. I've learned in management a LONG time ago, I ask before demanding, "Hey, would you mind doing me a favor".......99.9% of the time they are happy to do the task no matter how large.

I spent many years managing big box stores. When I left we could confront shoplifters in store and ask them how they would like to pay for the item in their pants/purse. If they ignored us and walked out, we could not physically restrain them.,,,, I was having a bad day one evening and a guy ran from the electronics department of Service Merchandise with a bag full of radios and small things. It may have been about $500.00 worth of stuff. I decided to give chase (to this day I have o idea what I would have done had he stopped LOL)....I chased him to the end of the parking lot and he ran across the street toward some woods. As soon as I turned around a guy in a big truck asked if he was a shoplifter. I told him yes and he said I'll be right back. About 20 minutes later he showed back up with the bag......He gave me his card, he was a Company A Texas Ranger. He claimed he never got out of his truck......
-
I was surprised he was actually charged

I get this is a discussions page, but this is about the biggest waste of time in any one thread I have ever seen. This sad part is there is no discussion. It is rants from each side trying to one up the other. That NEVER works......it usually just makes a few people mad enough to break the rules and receive a time out.......it is almost like that is what the OP wanted..........
-
I watched most of the trial. There were many mistakes. I'm not sure enough to change election but enough to cause concern. My guess is the Judge does not rule in favor of Lake.

Cut it with the name calling please. Discussions CAN be accomplished without name calling......

Thanks for the info. So much bad advice going around

Thanks TVC….those things are interesting….a warning shot might save a life…..but may out you in jail…..like brandishing a weapon.

Is that legal in Texas?

Don't be afraid to change if something is not working. I was fortunate (and old enough) to get to watch the undefeated 1980's TJ Yellow Jackets make it to the State Championship and watch a devastating loss to Odessa....... Play harder than you have every played and do it for all 4 quarters! GO PNG!!!!! -
I heard it was around 150K in damages. Would that justify more than probation?

It will be served only if he looses the appeal...... Tonight he will be doing his regular podcast.....you should listen in
