  1. Back to this thing about being administration proof. Can we get some details about how one constructs such a desirable bubble? Sounds like a life strategy. Maybe a Jordan Peterson book or such.
  2. Well, being from the south and all, we're supposed to revere our forefathers, whatever bad and good they did. Same as in... well, never mind that. They rebelled, got their teeth kicked in, then got away with another century plus of their racist bullshit. It isn't idiocy to call their acts treacherous. Sure, they didn't think so. Most criminals don't think they are criminals.
  3. I tried to not watch. But at the last minute were invited to neighbors so have to go. Now surely the pats will win, just to complete the deal.
  4. I was kind of simpathetic to his comeback, but this reminder is of the true Tiger.
  5. Surely there will be more humor coming. And those polls, have you ever seen 4 per cent approval, 50% non approval? What is his super human CEO analytical prowess doing with that shit?
  6. Shunned? He gets to go back into a wealth, privileged, country club life where his buddies will slap him on the back over this. And now he can vote R with them an be much more socially acceptable, within his group. Not a bad gig. Stop crying.
  7. He's not going to prison. But being Gov of VA is high privelige that is not open to just anyone, and he just included himself on the just anyone list with this revelation. His life will go on. But now, out of our sight. What is horrible about this?
  8. But those jobs! Isn't that the real point, full employment for insurance intermediators? What am I missing?
  9. Saw some study reference that eating fried chicken weekly would take 15 years off the mean life expectancy. Shit, we had that every Sunday when I was a kid. I thought the beatings were the attempt to kill me. Old Mom was way craftier than I ever suspected.
  10. The lie, which is most common, is that pubs claim minimum wage increases will certainly reduce employment. The onus is on those who make this claim. No one says these moves never effect employment.
  11. Not it all cases, is the point. Not always true, not inevitably true. Do you get it?
  12. I have always thought that Wasting was a proper noun.
  13. Saw this witht the mishtress last week. I guess we were expecting a Pride and Prejudice thing, so she was dissapointed and I was mildly impressed. Most amusing was that the only strong characters were women, and all of the men were pathetic. Perhaps I'm being redundant.
  14. I'm sure Schultz is finding it curious that there turns out to be no market for what he is selling. The seven steps will take him a while to work through.
  15. Back to the OP, in any campaign for or against minimum wage increases, the against folk immediately bring out claims that the increases will always/inevitably cause job reductions. Yet the empirical evidence, even prior to the studies referenced in this thread, were persistently mixed in the observed outcomes. I don't like the lying about what the case history reveals. Somewhat separately, if the outcome is difficult to forecast, it seems that a city or county or state can take the position that the risk is something they are willing to take for the known benefit of better wages for some at that entry level wage. Or they can think it not worth the risk. But it is just not an open and shut case.
  16. In addition to all the above, KH benefits from not alrealdy having a stupid Trump nickname. Warren's adventure in that space has been and will prove an ongoing burden. If Beto is smart he will chicken out of this one. KH might just be what the dems need: merciless.
  17. Yep. Best way to raise great kids is to be a total asshole. Worked for me and my kids. I could not begin to match the criminal assholeness of my parents, but they set a fuckin high bar.
  18. Heard that forecast from one of this am's shows. If he runs, sell your sbux stock because the dems will boycott. And that is about 80% of their client base. One would think a financial alpha like Schulz would give that some thought. Shareholder lawsuit, holla? Considerable potential misery for him.
  19. Hey, the replaceent we just got is at West Port Madison, at north end of Bainbridge. Just 8 minutes from Poulsbo. We definitely like Poulsbo better than Winslow.
  20. I think the point is not that much in error, except in the inference that it is at all "representative". The boomer generation is as diverse across multiple parameters as any other. Alot of what people notice is the gray hair they see, and correlate that to some essence they get from a few interactions. Still, my generation, and my white skin, was a great advantage in rising out of a shithole background. It is not nearly so easy any more. Yet the '"dream", whatever that may mean, is not dead. I'll go slorchy on that. But a much slimmer piece of the poplulation distribution has access to it: the well born, the very smart, and the very lucky. That's a sizeable group, but no longer the "mode" that saw success when I was a kid, and when my parents were coming up.
  21. Didn't say not relevant in the biz. Just not determinative in this single comparison. Cuz, fuck CF.
  22. Ain't it great! We sold out of Seattle last summer, right at the peak. It is so fine being a genius. At least for a few minutes. A day in the life of the unimpressive male.
  23. None of those issues render the CF better than Popeye's. Also, fuck Chick Fil A.
