Yeah the hell with the parents telling their kids rape and sexual assault is nor acceptable. Geez.Franklin has repeatedly claimed that it's a "family environment", and so this is a conversation that the staff should be having with its "sons".
James Franklin risks family admonishing him to illustrate Penn State atmosphere
Penn State head coach James Franklin talks about the family atmosphere at PSU, and he may have embarrassed a family member while doing so.www.on3.com
“That’s really important to me and I think it’s really important to Penn State, that sense of family and community,” Franklin said.
These athletes are on campus because the coaching staff encouraged them to enroll, allegedly to get an education first, and to play a sport second. They are being "compensated" to be a part of the student body (normal students pay out of pocket for tuition, room, and board), and some feel that they should be held to a higher standard (whether right or wrong). So the coaches do bear some degree of responsibility when this kind of stuff happens, regardless of whether that is fair or not. Any coach from any program can bury their head in the sand and say "Well, can't control 100 kids!", but that is a complete cop out.
I don’t even have anything to do with the football program, but as a rational human being I am mortified and embarrassed about this situation. If it's an aberration, then so be it, but if it becomes a pattern moving forward, then the coaches' responsibility increases exponentially ("Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me").

We haven't heard from Eduardo lately.
The market is near all time highs with stock prices growing faster than profits. The current PE ratio of the S&P 500 is 26.4 which is historically high and higher than other countries. I thought this was interesting:

OK, since Eduardo's no longer here, I'll play his role. Hell, somebody has to do it.
The reality of life in America's post-modern economy is that if you're heavily invested in equities, you're doing very well. However, if you don't have the resources to be heavily invested in equities, you're left getting by as well as you can...which may not be all that well.
You're likely not buying houses...not starting families...may be still living with your parents well into your 20s...may be holding down two jobs to get by...etc. I mean, there's a reason that polling shows 75% of the population thinks the country is on the wrong track.
I'm ballparking that maybe 20% (or less) of the population is thriving in what has become a system increasingly divided between haves and have-nots. For example, fed data last year showed that 10% of the population owned 93% of all stocks. It's to the point where a majority of the citizenry need no longer apply for membership in what was once quaintly called "The American Dream."
With the federal debt approaching $40 trillion, now almost $1 trillion of that being service on the debt, I don't think this situation is sustainable in the long-term or healthy in the short-term. In fact, we're one crisis away, whether it be domestic or international or a combination of the two, from a massive correction that may shake the system to its core.
