  1. You’re missing the point. Labor costs aren’t about productivity, they’re about supply and demand. Teachers make less than they otherwise should because the people that teach get satisfaction from the non financial aspects of their job. People that pick up garbage or clean toilets do so because they make more than their skill set would otherwise command because comparatively fewer people want that job despite nearly unlimited “qualified” candidates. The problem with Sarah isn’t what she makes. The problem is she seems to be the anomaly of the toilet cleaner that absolutely loves her job.
  2. Translation. My default setting is to lie.
  3. Because the central character in each leads a criminal organization but is more likely to be jailed over financial crimes than the other felonies he committed or directed to be committed.
  4. Do emoluments “windfalls” count as fundraising?
  5. Putting the felon in Teflon
  6. Even if it can’t be proven that he’s a Russian asset it is unequivocal that he’s an American liability.
  7. $45. And no one was harmed.
  8. Probably belongs in the wife thread but this was my favorite text exchange with Mrs. Brown Water. She was with a friend at the Justin Timberlake concert.
  9. Found this bottle in Greenville for our Thursday night toast before heading to the second round in Augusta. Barreled just before Mickelson’s first green jacket. Have to pass on my customary opening round drink since I’m on the road.
  10. Made it to Greenville for a couple days of work before heading to Augusta on Friday. Picked up this bottle barreled a couple weeks before Lefty won his first for our celebratory drinks Thursday evening.
  11. I was there in 2015 and head back year. Wasn’t there in 2016. Should fully tip the scales in Jordan’s favor.
  12. Finally found a relatively inexpensive bronze watch. The quick patina with an egg thing really works
  13. Last Saturday I was lucky enough to get the last pour of a restaurant's WLW, smart enough to order neat* and wise enough to ask if they'd let me keep the empty bottle * with a separate glass of ice that I can add if necessary.
  14. Sorry. I’ve been drinking.
  15. I believe this is a compliment but it makes me worry this board thinks I’m a heavy drinker with high cholesterol that eats steak 5 times a week and weights over 300 pounds. I’d like to clarify I weigh less than 300 pounds.
  16. Yep. Who’d ever touch Michter 10, Midwinter Night Dram, Angels Envy, the original Black Maple Hill, OSSA, Belle Meade Cask Strength....
  17. Is that an attempt at humor or irony?
  18. Blend of Tennessee (presumably Dickel) and Indiana (MGP).
  19. <<<< like this?
  20. I special ordered and his distributor gave him more than he expected. I almost felt like I was doing him a favor. I’m magnanimous like that. Agree that it’s better with some open bottle age and doesn’t need water.
  21. The post immediately before mine referencing the same bottle in bumped my quoted post. Thought that was fairly obvious. But I’m quoting your post to avoid the potential for confusion.
  22. Completely agree. Went back and picked up a case.
  23. Negged. What happens in CR stays in CR
  24. Here's the lesson: Use your worldly resources to benefit others and make friends. Then, when your possessions are gone, they will welcome you to an eternal home. Jesus Christ, Luke 16:9 Here's the lesson: Use your worldly resources to benefit others and make friends. Then, when your possessions are gone, they will welcome you to an eternal home. That is, of course, provided rules and regulations related to the taxability of said benefits afforded others aren’t interpreted to lead to potential adverse financial implications to the recipient or limit the deductibility of the donor. In such circumstances the donor, however, should publicly declare willingness to make said resources available for the benefit of others. Jesus Chrisp, Surly 12:802
