2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
Hefeweizen replied to Reagan1k's topic in Business and Markets
We’re going to get negative growth and inflation and we’re going to like it. My prediction is by 2028 we’re going to see double digit interest rates to control inflation, but maybe it is a little later. Inflation heading to 15 percent or so in two years. -

Im not talking about the last folks boarding grabbing available space. I'm talking people that are in the first couple of boarding groups, entering an empty plane and stashing their bags in the front and walking back 30 rows to their seat and 30 empty overheads. It's especially annoying when we paid extra for EconomyPlus and don't have room for our bags.

One other thing that I thought bizarre about Kirk-Newsom is that Kirk said two related things. First, he said Democrats (and he kept saying "Democrat party" where the addition of party dulls that a little bit but it's still that dumbass Democrat thing) didn't do long-form podcasts (that much is true). But he also said something to the effect that they lacked the intellect or flexibility to do so. And then went on to say there's no debate in the Democratic party. And went on to say there was healthy debate among Republicans. That was laughable bullshit. There was a takeaway from that though. Democrats have tons of internal debate, it's fractured as hell, it's just never resolved is the problem. Republicans get resolution in terms of whatever Trump wants. And it gets ignored when Trump flip flops on the resolution with the popularity wind and/or personal pique. He was very much a demagoguery enabler, if not a demagogue himself. Also very, very savvy about internet media. Related note. Just finished Careless People by accident. Trump's people manipulated Facebook in ways Facebook wasn't even aware of until after the fact, using its demographic tools to persuade and dissuade voters in the 2016 election. The Republicans have become extremely adept at using behind-the-scenes techniques to persuade and tilt the playing field in their favor, far far ahead of Democrats. Even still, without Trump's bizarre appeal to dumbasses, I don't think they are where they are.

That's fantastic. I'm happy for them. Their food was great (in the truck) and they were very nice. I always made it a point to pick up pizza there whenever I could but its been a while since I've stopped in town and I missed the move. Can't wait to try it out.

I think post graduate education in the US remains relatively unharmed at this moment especially in the professional degrees and in the areas where politics aren’t naturally connected. While law has some politics it really doesn’t in law school outside of con law and civil liberties. We are a country of morons for headline purposes but following a bell curve there are almost 20% of the college bound kids that are one to two std deviations above the mean and the sample set is college kids not the entire population. That’s a really smart group of generally smart folks and a good percentage are choosing law, medicine, business, engineering, etc. and going to post graduate institutions that to-date are left unharmed. I have no doubt that the top students at the top 50 law schools today are just as whip smart as they were 25 years ago. the problem isn’t the top the problem is the middle and bottom.

They got the white pants, too. New helmet for the ND Game. Looks good except no elegant, iconic logo like another team that they don't care about has. https://twitter.com/i/status/1966260574041551342 And they got the swag back! Common responses: And this So true. -
Our OC should have this information and adjust playcalling to give more success to the team.

Great read on Ft Hancock. Used to be a 6-man juggernaut. Now haven't won a game since October 2021. https://www.texasmonthly.com/arts-entertainment/texas-high-school-football-losing-streak/
