  1. USAA has earned my business with great member services, they just announced a 20% discount on my auto insurance for the next two months. But after looking at this move I'm not trusting that USAA was looking out for my best interest in selling to Victory. I just don't see any reasson in moving any money to Victory. I may just take your advice and use it as a stock gambling account. I'm thinking the RV industry will recover in 12 to 18 months and Thor or Forest River are a value now.
  2. The argument could go along the lines of justice isn't served if they do not serve their entire sentence. I was a victim of X who stole my life's savings and he's only serving 10 months of a four year sentence! It's his fault he's in jail, if he gets sick he gets sick. There are plenty of innocent people getting sick on the outside. Were is the justice for the innocent victims?!
  3. I'm wondering how you determine who receives a donation and what they can receive. I was in a conversation about the meals that our schools were passing out and people who didn't need help were getting in line and receiving food.
  4. I wonder what America's appetite is for commuting sentences and early releasing thousands of non violent offenders? I imagine there would need top be certain stipulations like a place to live, tested and retested.
  5. It's a horrible time to be in any type of institutional housing.
  6. And two more from the same nursing home, I believe that brings that outbreak to ten. New law in Texas forbids employees from working at more than one nursing home.

    The Beer Thread

    I just ed made a pick up at my grocery store. I forget what I actually ordered but I am certain it wasn't Leinenkugle Spritzen sigh
  8. Once my duties as a teacher are fulfilled for the year, I'm thinking about parking my RV in the woods somewhere and wait like a preper. I'm wondering why no one seems to be recommending keeping a log of who you have had contact with and where. If you are diagnosed wouldn't that be really helpful?
  9. This is more a major purchase fund than a retirement fund. I have a 403B, plus Texas Teacher retirement, plus a lot of years in SS. I think I do have a few bucks in a target year fund. Thank you, I will have to take a look at that. That is one that would be transferring.
  10. I was planning on that. I really only had this as a way to eek out a slightly better return on my savings. One of my thoughts is from a quick glance I wouldn't have chosen them. Now I am deciding if I can transfer the trust I have for USAA to this new company.
  11. Has anyone here had experience with Victory Capital? USAA sold off their mutual funds to VCM and I'm trying to decide to stay with them or move. This wasn't my primary investment account, more of savings plus kind of thing, but USAA made it really convenient and until last month did ok with the return.
  12. We've had eight deaths at the same nursing home here in San Antonio. It looks like five today.
  13. Navy Chief just resigned. Shouldn't have called the captain stupid. Duh.
  14. I have a box or two of masks I use when sanding workworking projects and I have a respirator I use while applying finishes. I'm thinking of using the masks in public.
  15. Are people reusing fabric masks or washing them between uses? And is wearing one while driving really necessary?
  16. Seems like a reasonable plan.
  17. I'm guessing like they have these past three years. Especially if once again he wins with a minority of the popular vote. These three years haven't been too horrible. He promised to repeal the Affordable Care Act and didn't. He promised to not golf much, and has. He promised to drain the swamp and he did, by moving the swamp to the White House. So overall I'm happy. Perhaps he can golf even more during his next term.
  18. It would be easy enough to schedule teams with extended off days of 3 to 4 days. They are already on the road for more than half of their season. I don't believe it would be much different.
  19. I've seen players fired up from little league to independent ball with very few, if any, fans there. I'm certain they will do just fine. We've all heard stories of insane practice altercations. If players can get fired up practicing, they can get fired up with their careers on the line.
  20. When famous people start dying people notice. If PewDiePie dies, then everyone will take it seriously. And yes, that was slightly sarcastic, I don't want anyone to die.
  21. I am shocked by how many thinking, rational, intelligent, people I know that will continue to support him and blame everyone else but him.

    Pandemic Reading

    Santa Fe is easily one of my five favorite places on the planet and one I would consider living. In fact, I recall really studying it on November 9, 2016.
