  1. The Delta variant and other variants are what pushed us to be more cautious with our son. The 18th can’t get here quick enough.
  2. I look at the people that genuinely need the child tax credit money. That is putting food on the table of family I have. I don’t care so much about big economics when people I know are able to better care for their family.
  3. Nope. I’m worried as well, as he doesn’t do great with any vaccine. That said - it’s one of the very small 1 in a million worries and I’m more concerned with him getting COVID and having long term effects.
  4. Got my 10 year old an appointment at Texas Childrens in the Houston Medical center on Nov 18. They are accepting appointments now.
  5. And the billionaires have somehow convinced people living pay check to pay check to defend them.
  6. Didn’t we already do Second life or Half Life or some other game thing?
  7. Let his employees own shares that reduces his stake down to $1 billion. There are options out there.
  8. Maybe the employees should own more of the means of production? ESOP companies exist now and can in the future. The pendulum has swung too far in favor of the very rich and powerful. Look at John Deere and their CEO getting a 180% raise and the workers being offered peanuts in their new contract.
  9. We should just take anything over $1 billion. You hit $1 billion, you win. Congrats. You now hand anything over that to the people. Wealth redistribution at its finest.
  10. When do we start chopping heads off?
  11. Louder for the mouth breathers in the back. Boomers were around when the top whatever percent were in a tax rate of 90% and they say they want to MAGA… well, let’s go!
  12. I would think Bottas has incentives built into his contract to help Lewis and the team. Bonuses, etc.
  13. Anyone else in FLES? Saw it on a tweet from a stonk poster. Picked up a little.
  14. Lewis is supposed to take another engine upgrade at some point (forgot where I read that). Merc should throw all their last upgrades on the car in Mexico, since they don’t do well there normally and aim to mitigate points damage. That might give Lewis a fighting chance the last 4 races. OR they just have Bottas take out people again. [emoji16]
  15. Lot Q is 1.3 miles from Lot T. I measured roughly with my odometer coming in on Saturday morning. It’s not a safe walk though.
  16. Holy shit that was a fun race. The turn one hill was insane looking. Did MazaSPIN spin? Why was he so far behind by lap 2? Also, HAAS seems to like to pit a lot. Did Hamilton ever have a shot? Seemed like Max just kept him far enough back. Max looked FAST out there. Also, Bottas couldn’t pass Sainz?? We sprinted out of there right after the race and made it home to Houston by 6:30. Fuck I10 though Sealy.
  17. The main grandstand TVs went out for a few laps. This place is top notch
  18. Velocity lounge used to be open to any one in the main grandstand. We’d start our Sunday in there at the Bloody Mary bar. Going to tail gate now.
  19. I thought it was for sale a while back.
  20. They apparently get stolen though.
  21. I’m in Troy Nehls district. He was a decent sheriff. As soon as he was elected, he fell into line with the Trump narrative real fast. He was the only Republican in Fort Bend county elected (I believe). I hope he’s gone after next election.
  22. I’m looking forward to Friday this year, with the new stuff out there.
  23. Where is a good spot to watch the Longhorn game at the track? There was a big bar area one year with a bunch of TV’s out around the esses.
  24. You are correct. They basically skipped this year and let the young guys learn.
