  1. We've already seen Mack Brown. EDIT- Second time today someone beat me to it.
  2. Condolences. Being there holding a loved one as they transition to whatever is next is one of the greatest acts of love there is.
  3. Yet it is the second highest grossing movie of all time and the Pandora section at Animal Kingdom moved AK from 4th in attendance park at WDW to second to MK.
  4. Just a way for those from Plano to shit on Plano 2.0 and 3.0.
  5. Do it immediately after FoP so you’re already mentally in the Na’vi world. Disney really screwed up when they decided to shorten the Na’vi River Journey from the original concept to cut cost. You don’t get immersed until the last 30 seconds of the ride with what they did.
  6. Beginning of the school year combined with peak heat is always slow at WDW.
  7. Or wanting to pass on a 4* RB that has two years experience in Sark's offense.
  8. Established teams? No doubt. But what I'm curious about is if when a Tom Herman gets fired under this new system and 20+ kids 'head for the portal' on top of 20+ kids graduating how do you recover from that under the 25 per year rule? Now does your new coach search focus more on who is really good or who can brings guys to fill roster holes next year?
  9. I've been wondering what all will happen under the new transfer rules with a coaching change. Build a great P5 program, get a better gig, and transfer the team over with you. I was expecting this type of thing to happen for the star QB to transfer in to be part and parcel of the HC's new job but I apparently I need to think in broader terms. What happens when 20+ kids transfer out after a coaching change? Do you get an exception to the 25 annual slots? If not that could take a few seasons to recover from.
  10. Explain to me how the addition of one extra out of a thousand workers on unemployment is causing the current labor shortage.
  11. New unemployment numbers came out yesterday and the US is down to a quarter million(roughly .001% of the labor force) more on unemployment now than before the pandemic started. That puts a pretty big hole in the argument that unemployment benefits are the root cause of the labor shortage.
  12. Agree. He also really good at explaining football concepts in terms the average fan can grasp.
  13. Spring 2020 WVA hit 16% unemployment. I seriously doubt WVA's state unemployment benefit is anything more than a pittance.
  14. Looked it up, WVA unemployment rate is 5.9 to Texas' 6.9.
  15. Anybody from WVA that is semi competent and wants work is already in the three Cs of OH or Pittsburgh. It is a lot like LA folks in Texas post Katrina.
  16. I should have said they start at $25/hr these days. I'm paying $30/hr.
  17. Do you have any idea how much revenue you're asking the Port As and Galvestons to give up? F&B taxes are the lifeblood of funding those places. Plus restaurants with fewer than 25 employees are few and far between as they try to keep everyone to under 30-35 hours a week to not trigger overtime and other costs.
  18. You do know that the youngest millennials are in their late 20s and the oldest ones are in their early 40s?
  19. I believe Aaron Franklin puts hickory as second choice to post oak. I believe when he's had to use it he soaks in water for an hour a day before cooking on it.
  20. I'd also posit that the largest generation to date, millennials, have largely moved beyond service industry jobs at this point and thus have moved from the service labor supply column to the service labor demand column.
  21. One of the major media outlets, which one I can't remember(Bloomberg?), did a story on this last week and UE was pretty low on reasons. IIRC #1 was Amazon, Target, and Walmart starting pay @ $15/hr, with benefits, taking away the gamble of are you going to have a good week tip wise. Followed closely by COVID fear driving food service employees to pick food delivery/shopping for others work over face to maskless face contact all day. It wasn't necessarily fear for themselves but as low wage earners they are far more likely to be in a multi-generational living situation. Food service workers didn't/don't want to risk it when the majority of those still dining out are/were anti mask and now compounded by the anti vax crowd. Rounding out the top three was childcare/homeschooling issues during COVID.
