  1. I’m not thrilled about all these traitors getting sweetheart deals.  Like, is there a huge lack of evidence here where you might need a bunch of cooperating witnesses?  Me thinks not

    Getting all aspects of truthful accounts about what happened behind the scenes has quite a bit of value for the country IMO. I know the cult members won’t hear it, or care if they do, but the historical record on this whole circus will need to be studied and understood for generations to come and these pleas will be pretty solid content for that.

  2. Button straddle kills more action than it creates in my experience. Blinds are much more likely to fold when they have so many players left to act behind them.

    At Bestbet it’s only allowed in time games ($5/10+). All others are UTG only.

    I know some people who volunteered away from management roles after having sampled it, back to IC track. 

    The painful part are the people nudged into management, or convinced themselves that they are good at it. 

    That's me.  25 years in leadership roles burned me out on it so I specifically looked an IC role which I found in my current gig.  Life's to short for that stress and drama.

    Of course, I've been sucked back into a management role "short term to fill a gap" anyway.  /facepalm

    I've seen so many examples of the peter principle I've lost count.  My experience is though I've been absolutely surrounded by highly intelligent individuals (software), many people just don't naturally orient themselves around others, making training/mentoring/strategizing/directing/delegating/leading difficult to execute well.  Mistakenly thinking everyone lives/works/thinks like you sets you up for failure as a leader.  Happens all the time.

  4. My course, Jax Beach, is the perfect walk. 6 miles, almost completely flat other than features. I beat my playing partners in carts to nearly every tee box.

    Bought my own push cart for maximum features. Key to the push cart game in the summer is a solid umbrella for shade.

    I love having total flexibility with my full bag available around the green.

    Burn 1500 calories a round and get in 2-3 of the per week.

    Looking at a summary, I don't see how you add so many jobs over the past couple of years yet the UE is staying steady. This last report the participation rate stayed steady as well.

    Isn't it just that they didnt lay off people at near the magnitude that we did?

    "A Comparison of Dynamics in Advanced Europe versus the United States

    Most of the labor market adjustment in the United States in 2020 occurred through employment (“extensive margin”). The decline in total hours worked-of about the same magnitude as during the GFC-was entirely driven by employment, which dropped by an unprecedented 12.3 percent year over year in 2020Q2. In the same quarter, the number of unemployed workers more than tripled and the unemployment rate jumped to an unprecedented 13.0 percent, even though labor force participation declined. Over the whole year, on average, US employment fell by 6.2 percent and the unemployment rate increased by 4.4 percentage points, compared to a decline of 1.4 percent and an increase of 0.4 percentage points in EU-27, respectively."
