    Kids should have to take a general business course in high school. You should at least be able to balance a checkbook and understand compound interest. Especially as it compounds on monies you borrow. Then we needn't be having this debt forgiveness discussion in the first place.

    And now for something completely different! I see a lot of noise in this section from members I never hear from in any other section. Just an idea, but like requiring so many posts to put something for sale, how about making people post about something OTHER than politics at least 30% of the time?

    I'm not saying that's not so, but if Trump were gone, DeSantis would be a more effective buffer and you would be frothing just as hard for him. Take it for what it's worth.

    Back country carry gun

    When I'm hunting I usually leave my heavy handgun in camp. It's for under my (jeans) pillow, and carry a .22 in case I need to fire signal shots. I figure if my .338 won't do it, my pistol probly won't. When I'm fishing, I have my .475 (maybe .44) in my armpit.

    The guy that juggles in front of Walmart seems to do ok, if only I could juggle! sigh. So robbing the juggler guy once a week or so sounds like the most realistic thing I can think of. I could have a party for all my friends in a phone booth.
