With election season ramping up, and with it, rhetoric surrounding immigration, I wanted to put out a discussion thread about Immigration to discuss its current state, have questions answered, etc. Wanted to put a few posts of "Immigration 101" to establish a baseline of understanding. While...

Hey All We just received a form CP2000 from the IRS for underreporting taxes in 2021 - it has to do with a fund my wife inherited when her dad passed that has been being converted from an inherited IRA to just a general account through minimum annual disbursements, and is still managed by her...

Duplicate post from the Pit: Many of you are watching the situation in Afghanistan unfold and are wondering how you can help, or what this might mean for our area. It is unlikely that many Afghan SIVs will be resettling in Winston/High Point, but we may have an opportunity to help resettle...

Hey All, thought I'd post this here as it's not political and not sports (and to get maximum eyes on it) Many of you are watching the situation in Afghanistan unfold and are wondering how you can help, or what this might mean for our area. It is unlikely that many Afghan SIVs will be...

Today is World Refugee Day Last year, I posted a fundraiser to help our local refugee resettlement office amidst turbulent times, and y'all responded incredibly. So, I wanted to let you know what we've been able to do over the last year and where we are (and kind of open up an AMA about US...

Who are those athletes you can't stand on your favorite teams. Not "this guys sucks and i wish he weren't on my team," but "he may be good (or not), but I hate that guy." Brad Guzan is what inspired this thread.

Didn't see a current thread where this would fit: Better Schools Won’t Fix America

Next Wednesday (June 20th) is World Refugee day, and I have an ask for all of you. As some of you know (whether from the Pit employment thread where I tracked the uncertainty of resettlement last year or through threads on the tunnels), I work with a refugee resettlement agency. To let you...

In a case involving the rights of tens of millions of private-sector employees, the U.S. Supreme Court, by a 5-4 vote margin, delivered a major blow to workers, ruling for the first time that workers may not band together to challenge violations of federal labor laws...

Hey Pit Looking for a birthday present for my wife. She's been wanting a GPS watch with a HRM for some time. She also just started a new job where she isn't allowed to have her phone with her during the day and there are no clocks on the walls, and wouldn't mind a watch - so looking for one...

For his 10th birthday in lieu of presents/party, my oldest son asked for a father/son weekend in DC. Have the days filled with Smithsonian, Capitol tour, monuments, etc., (a weekend isn't nearly enough time to really see DC) but was wondering if there were any fun local restaurants a 10 year...

Got pulled over for going 70 in a 55 just as we were entering Roanoke on the way to MA last week. Anyone know of someone before I start shifting through the slew of mail I'm about to receive?

Came up in the JP thread, and rather than clutter up that thread, thought it's be an interesting discussion. For me, the list begins and ends with Last of the Mohicans.

Don't think I've seen this discussed but this seems to make a lot of sense. What do y'all see as the pros and cons of doing House elections in this manner? We need a fairer system for choosing House members and the FairVote Plan (includes interactive maps comparing current plan to FairVote plan)
