Is too much information being a available a bad thing? The instantaneous action and reaction makes us thing something is there that isn’t there. All these yahoos with their apps reading stuff. It’s like being in a fantasy league where you can trade players by the minute instead of weekly.

Speaking of emails remember the one where Tucker was kissing Hunters ass and wanted to get together soon?

I don’t understand any of this. Last month I seem to recall the market doing well because “investors” liked Powell saying he was going to raise rates. Now they don’t. The paradox that inflation is bad so when trying to curb inflation then that’s bad too. What is the solution? Is the thought that raising rates won’t help inflation? What would “investors” like us to do? What would happen if everyone just chilled out and quit buying and selling for awhile? Just sit on your shit and be content for the time being. I guess I don’t have that gene where I think and worry about money all the time. I’m fortunate that I don’t have to I guess. I’m not rich but I don’t want for anything. I just don’t sweat the small stuff. I have my investments and I let them do all the work. That’s what they get paid for.

Hunter is bad news for Trump. The more you see and hear his name the worse the situation is for Donnie.

I was just thinking the other day if Flynt were still around I bet he’d have taken down all of these hypocrites in the GOP today. He’d have Epstein’s stuff out there.

This became a thing last week. There’s a whole bunch of them. https://www.avclub.com/transformers-linkin-park-2007-michael-bay-the-godfather-1849462224

Yeah don’t. This is season 2. Season 1 was very different. They got heat for being too overtly liberal so Peggy Noonan came on as a writer. Enjoy the ride. Just a warning that things got weird when Sorkin left and at the time I didn’t care for it but when I rewatched the later few seasons with the new election it was better than I remembered. Just hang tight until Alda and Smits show up.

Last week we were in the car and Brothers in Arms came on and I prompted me to watch that sequence of episodes over the weekend. Might be the best 4-5 episode run of any series ever. Oliver Platt is great.

BUT LincOLN was A REPubLiCAN and DEMOcRATS OWNEd SLaVEs.

any pretty girl could infiltrate that gang.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Or poker games. Or golf games. The only time it's relevant is if it relates to something else. For example my season ticket buddy had Lions seats for years, going back to the 80's. He finally gave them up a few years ago. This year he got them again. He told me about this back in June. Flash forward to July and I bring it up again and he says "Yeah but dude... I bet on that guy to win the British Open.... total luck pick" That paid for his seats. He will ask me at games to check other scores b/c we can't see the scoreboard from our seats. He bets about $100 a day and claims to be up overall a few grand since he started. He quit smoking during the pandemic after 2 heart attacks so he spends that money on bets.

Background. In Texas they passed a law that mandated In God We Trust signs placed prominently in schools if they were donated. They had to have the flags like this and only that test. So this guy is doing it in Arabic.

Totally. An analogy doesn’t have to be perfect to be valid. They accepted government money or help. also amused by some who think that blue collar workers don’t rack up student debt.

That was around the time either DD got crazy or he was put in shitty positions by Ilitch. 2014 was the season that doomed us. A few different moves could have put us on a different path. Let Cabrera go like the Cards did wtih Pujols. Sign Max. Keep Suarez. Keep Ray and not worry about the pushback from the Fister trade. Ray was the only time I think DD bowed to public pressure.

all my kooky fundamentlist people from HS were for Rebandt.

Would we ever use the argument that we shouldn't make insulin low cost because 10 years ago it wasn't low cost and those people who paid a lot for insuiln get "scammed"?

Awesome throws from OF excite me.

Someone on twitter said that the government basically just gave some people a 25% off Bed Bath and Beyond coupon.

I was going to say that. I don’t have any. But my friends who do…. Coke is less addictive and cheaper.

But a lot aren’t. It’s because they became teachers or social workers or some other important job that society decided should be low paying. Every program is going to have people on the margins who either abused the system or are otherwise not the ideal representatives.

Ok now I get it. I wasn’t sure if his question. I thought me meant how many would pass a CA amendment. I agree with you. Kentucky?

And we borrowed money from China to pay the debt of the trade war with China. Geniuses.
