Toronto is playing team ball, what GS is known for. Even Kawhi is not one-man-showing there.

Donald Trump 2019
You are right. I thought he did well later in the primaries but was hampered overall by starting off behind. I guess not.

Donald Trump 2019
Somewhat related question. Why do the primaries start with small less-diverse states such as Iowa, New Hampshire, etc. It is as if they get to decide the first cut among the candidates. In other words, the remaining candidates have passed their approval. If the primaries started with California, Texas, New York and Florida, for example, Bernie would have been way ahead of Hillary in 2016.

Kawhi dribbles little bit like Drexler, looking down ready to be picked by double teamer.

Second place I am seeing this WSJ tweet. Am I missing something? The date is 10/21/2015.

China Sucks
That's correct. But product assembly and test has a small environmental footprint, compared to fabricating components that use nasty chemicals, etc. Similar to car assembly in US, we should make a concerted effort to do product assembly here. Of course, it is going to be costlier to have factories to address at least the US market, but I think it will pay off long term by giving us the opportunity to develop new tech in manufacturing such as smart factories. By not doing manufacturing here, we are cutting ourselves out of a big chunk of future innovation.

Bernie Sanders 2020 Watch
Bernie is my leading candidate and it hasn't changed. One negative raised earlier is that he won't be able to beat Trump. If the only way to beat Trump is to get down in the gutter with him, then it may be true. But I prefer his sticking to issues rather than personalities, and boldly pushing ideas rather than being weighed down by election calculus. Is this the price an idealist (read a relatively decent person) has to pay? Depends on the voters, I guess, if they can think for themselves or fall for political gamesmanship. Being somewhat of an idealist myself, I clearly prefer Bernie's method as opposed to crafting an agenda that maximizes across donors, special interests, and voter blocks. Regardless, I think Bernie has the best chance to win, for the same reason Trump won; ideas and force of personality can overcome establishment, and I don't see any other Dem candidate with such forcefulness and clarity as Bernie.

China Sucks
The only thing standing in our way to overcome the Chinese advanage (supply chain infrastructure and cheap labor) is our weakness to take the easy way out. With automation, we can overcome the cheap labor aspect to some degree, and bring back the product assembly as a first step. We do the designing and engineering, and work on materials and equipment, and hence Foxcon type assembly should be easy to do onshore. >80% of IP is protected if we just do this, leaving onshoring of component fabrication (stamping, polishing, molding, etc.) for a later time. I have worked with American CM's in China (Flex, Jabil) to implement our product in their factories in China, and except for cheap labor, there was nothing of value, except the local availability of component suppliers who required constant handholding. A sweet deal for them since they were getting trained for free.

KD should learn to be the bigger man. He doesn't have anything to prove.

I was about to say KD would get a T on the previous play, and he got on the next.
