Heller switching parties would be a massive development. Doubt it'll happen, though.

OTOH it would be cool to have another Mormon Democrat here. Maybe 2 is enough to start a trend!

Part of the solution is to stop the trillions of dollars spent subsidizing loans for college degrees in Basket Weaving and Eskimo Poetry. STEM Degrees and MBAs should be the only degrees that qualify for subsidized loans. The rest goes into healthcare.

The basket weavers and dietician subsidies cost twice as much, because after funding their degree they have to have their healthcare subsidized due to their inability to save.

You're such a lovely troll sometimes.

Like literally every male in my family has been military in one form or another as far back as records are kept, back to the 1400s. One grandpa was at Pearl Harbor (shore not ship) then got deployed on a destroyer during the rest of the Pacific Campaign. After that he got transferred to a desert outpost for the rest of his career. Other grandpa was a little younger and started doing cold warrior stuff with bombers, first in Korea and then in North Dakota. He rode the defense contractor pony until retirement after that.

Let's just have Left Scouts and Right Scouts and get it over with.

Well, we kind of do already, and that's what's driving this.

The Mormon troops are, and have been, essentially their own organization. They have different rankings, different rules, etc. This accelerated a lot once the BSA started being more inclusive. In fact, it accelerated to the point that the Mormon troops have made serious threats about pulling out of the national organization and going their own way. Were that to happen, the BSA would have a very serious membership problem, so opening to girls is seen as the best way to address that.

A lot of the national organization leadership is pretty liberal, and has been working a long time to bring the Scouts into the modern world. I see this is a fantastic thing.

The Mormon influence on the Boy Scouts is a goddamned plague and one of the nastiest little secrets in the modern US. While not all Mormons are cultists at heart a fair loving few of them are and a disproportionate amount of cultist Mormons have found refuge for their activities by disguising it behind the fabric of the Boy Scouts. Someday soon I am going to do a thread on the no-bullshit cult hazing/initiation ritual that I was put through at a major Boy Scout Camp that was actually owned and operated by the Mormon Church. The group running the cult-initiation rituals at this camp was also a nest of pedophiles that were using portions of the ritual to recruit/condition/coax victims. (I knew one of the ones that committed suicide as a result of the abuse he experienced at the hands of this nest of pedophiles.)

If you are curious you there is a pretty good investigative article that a local outfit did into the abuses a few years back. As you can imagine this only touches the surface of what was going on behind the scenes, but what they go into is pretty loving damning. A Brave Never Tells: Strange and Erotic Tales from inside the Boy Scouts most secret society.

That article is nuts. I was in OA, and we're supposed to be the secret society type scout people, but this pipestone poo poo is completely out of step with the rest of scouting.

$720/month mortgage, and that's with the property tax escrow. 1,800 sq foot 4 bed 2 bath house in SE Wisconsin.

The tradeoff is a) my house is in kind of a lower working-class area and not very scenic or pretty, and b) I have a very small lot. My "backyard" is literally just my driveway.

That's a $750k house in Reno, right now. Or a 2200/month rental.
