Inflation doesn’t erase an entire group of people as you claimed. But, no one said inflation wasn’t affecting folks either. What I was stating was that politicians, pundits, and public polling don’t use actual data. Also, there’s no agreed upon definition of middle class. The people using the ‘hollowing out of the middle class’ argument just want more control—either Left, Right, Socialist, or Populist. That should bother you. I believe you’re more of a free market type individual like myself. Read the study. There are many more like it.

I remember Chavis Gregory from the 2012 squad. For some reason, I can't recall who McCollister is and year?

yes, that's our stance on the subject matter. I believe most would agree that Jones is capable of playing defense on multiple levels across the ncaa ranks. but, for some reason, unknown to anyone, he was left behind to do it on his own, from what i am told by a particular coach.

Chavis McCollister from Tenaha.

Josh Allen is a good example.

So Americans making between $55k and $165k which is considered middle class are not being fazed by the inflation over the last years?

Really good high school players sometimes don't receive D1 offers for different reasons. Some don't show up at as many camps as others and when they do they might have a bad day at the camp and not look that impressive. Some don't participate in powerlifting and track events that some scouts use to verify strength and speed. Some don't have a lot of film readily available. Some just don't fit the "measurables" that scouts look for at certain positions. Some have bad grades or test scores. Lot of things have to get checked off for D1 offers most times and the best 3A high school players don't always hit all the checks. I'm sure Jones can play somewhere although it may not be D1 and who's to say he doesn't end up at a D1 after a couple years at a juco or D3. It's happened before

You could add Manchin and Gabbard to the list. Actually, I found a list that goes back to the 1850s of Dems that switched to Republicans.

The middle class shrinking is one of the biggest myths out there, and is used as a way for the government to intervene even more than it already does. This is only one study of many. Yes, the Middle Class Is Shrinking—Because It's Moving Up The real squeeze comes from government-distorted markets, not economic decline.

And the Democrats will do it without blinking.

The tribe really does matter at this point, results are the same. The deterioration of the dollar is erasing the middle class. Dino Fetterman….sounds good, means nothing

Chavis Gregory?

In this case, i was referring to the RB from OF and Jones.

Good lord….. lol

OL particularly receive offers based upon “size” and nothing else.

Has happened both ways. Many people would rate Chavis McCollister among the greatest high school players of all time. Yet, he received little to no college interest.

Ok, I will do that.

I dont disagree with this statement. In the same breath, I can give you a list of "player" who received D1 offer and was not voted as the District MVP unanimously by every coach. Yet, the MVP will be sitting at home next fall and the "second place guy" is going to be suiting it up for a local D1. So, Yes, i completely understand your sentiment.

Or you could shorten it to... "me" and then we will all know that you are referring to your pathetic, little self.

Thanks for the illuminating response. I have just had an epiphany. From this point forward I will no longer utilize the word “pathetic”. I will now utilize: “completely incompetent on a football field”.

Salado 1 - Liberty 0 Both pitchers threw one-hitters. Taylor had 14 K's and just 1 BB

The only person who is hurt is obviously you. Cause only a pathetic, little man would use the word pathetic to describe kids and their abilities... names or no names.

Ok, pathetic little man.

Cry me a river. No kids are named and no one is hurt.
