  1. Past hour
  2. Okay, so add another one to the list. I had an offer at Oracle during Covid when everyone was overpaying everyone to join there growing OCI stack in services. Pretty good take home pay but a big equity component with gauranteed refreshes yearly for three years, at like at $60/share. I thought, "Oracle? What a grindhouse. They suck, they are barely humans and neanderthals that are left at Oracle in 2020 after completely getting taken to the woodshed and beaten in the cloud wars." So I took another job with a better brand name. Probably left $2.5-3 million bucks on the table after yesterday.
  3. The reaction by the right to this is going to be severe. Will this go down as the first shot of Civil War 2.0?
  4. You are arguing with one of the worst posters on this site LOL. Nobody pays attention to his worthless opinions. Not worth the effort.
  5. You say agree to disagree, but I stated above Biden was also to blame. So that means you believe Trump wasn’t also to blame. So using your own sources, here is the summary from them during Trump’s first Presidency. Why people don’t understand that inflation never shows up immediately, I’ll never understand. It’s completely obvious. 1. Lawrence Summers In 2020, Summers (former Treasury Secretary) cautioned that the Trump tax cuts (2017) plus emergency COVID stimulus created risks of overheating once supply recovered. He later (in 2021) became the loudest critic of excessive stimulus in the Biden era, but his warnings built on the idea that the U.S. had already primed the pump with Trump-era fiscal expansion. 2. Olivier Blanchard (former IMF chief economist) Blanchard warned in 2020 that the scale of COVID stimulus (Trump-signed CARES Act, $2.2 trillion in March 2020) was “larger than necessary” and could lead to inflation once demand rebounded. His point was that fiscal packages were not just relief, but also injected huge demand capacity. 3. Douglas Holtz-Eakin (former CBO director, conservative economist) Criticized Trump’s 2017 tax cuts and 2020 stimulus for dramatically increasing deficits without long-term growth offsets. He flagged the inflation risk, even if it didn’t show up immediately due to depressed demand in lockdowns. 4. Jason Furman (former Obama economic adviser, Harvard economist) Supported emergency spending in 2020 but also warned about lagged inflationary risks if fiscal and monetary policy stayed loose as the economy reopened. He noted that the Trump-signed relief checks and expanded unemployment benefits were unusually large compared to past crises. 5. Federal Reserve Voices While Jerome Powell (Fed Chair) emphasized in 2020 that the priority was stabilization, Fed minutes from mid-2020 reflected concerns that the size of fiscal stimulus under Trump could “eventually be inflationary” once bottlenecks cleared. Some regional Fed presidents (like Robert Kaplan of the Dallas Fed) flagged that a surge in government spending would likely push inflation higher in a delayed way. So like I said earlier, people need to stop blindly following “their team”. And you are one of the worst offenders of that. You are a smart enough person, like many others, to hold these politicians accountable for their behaviors, but why you don’t, I’ll never understand. When a politician is doing stupid things, it should be pointed out.
  6. Well this is fucking bad. Not much more to say really.
  7. thanks, have deleted
  8. Polly Holiday from "Alice" passed on at 88 on Tuesday. Polly Holliday, Who Played Flo on ‘Alice,' Dies at 88
  9. Wasn't it reported that this was NOT the shooter?
  10. I have some thoughts. Eh, that's about all.
  11. Apparently this is not the shooter.
  12. At least he died doing what he loved. Being racist.
  13. Does he know about the Daily Texan?
  14. I always like it when something like this happens, and we get treated to a bunch of “I don’t care what your politics are, shooting people in the neck is a bad thing and we shouldn’t be doing that sort of thing” posts. Oh yeah? No shit. I had no fucking idea someone else had that thought, because I also generally think murder is wrong.
  15. They fucked it up at the beginning. I've said it before but what they should have done is set it with field club access + tickets disbursed within Section 1 and 2 with a tunnel from the field club to west concourse with pass through back and forth. Seats would be intermittent instead of 1 large block so would not be noticeable on TV. This was effectively the set up for the USC field club back in 2017. We had the option to go sit in random seats in the stands if we elected. It would have been a very simple solution but that ship has sailed. Not only because Section 1 and 2 sold out but they would have needed to implement a tunnel at the construction phase.
  16. There's no safe place for anybody.

  18. 1) they’d still have that revenue because those people would still pay for club access and field access - being able to be on field is the biggest perk here why are you so insistent and rabid about empty seats in this part of the stadium?
  19. http:// Couldn’t pass up the opportunity.
  20. "I'd guess that.." Because you don't know shit. You're guessing. Here's 2 facts in response to your dumb post: 1.) Without the club, the AD woudln't have been able to raise millions of dollars to help fund the entire SEZ project, now would they have million(s) of dollars of recurring revenue every single year for people re-upping for their seats. 2.) You're full of shit. I've been at almost all the big home games in the SEZ. Alabama. GA and Clemson last year. Those seats are almost always busting for big games against big opponents. Just like the rest of the stadium. Why aren't you so insistent and rabid about empty seats elsewhere in the stadium?
  21. He said there's no safe place for conservatives in America.
