I hesitate to engage but . . . Who do you think was trying to make them “main characters”
do you not understand that it’s pure propaganda but has been the winning republican strategy — pick an issue that actually affects almost no one, but stirs up a lot of people, and hammer on it loudly and repeatedly?
as a poster mentioned above, good governance is boring and our electorate is distracted by the issues that are fun to rant about
Likewise. I was outspoken to my circle about how I thought she would make an incredible president. I was dumbfounded when the women in my life would nitpick her and prefer Biden or someone else
He wants to be able to do both/either. Sometimes we want to run clock. But as you mention, if the OL is not opening space for the run game, hit an explosive or two and space will open for the rb's
The larger point is that we told him to hit the road because of a shit ton of off the field BS . . . we didn't lose him to Syracuse like KittyBaby said
If you look at the last 3-4 classes it sure looks like we didn't bring in enough HS OL. I suspect they intended to go to the portal this last offseason like they did in years past for a couple guys, but I don't remember any starter quality portal OL this year -- at least ones that didn't portal straight to another school. Maybe the staff got caught assuming they would have some options but those never materialized? (I don't think its a bad strategy assuming there are good portal options every year, because then you don't have to spend years on development and some of those won't work out anyway).
Whatever the reason, the OL room is a huge concern not just this year but going forward as you mention. (oops meant as a reply to @Newy25)
Jamilah had this to say
Extremely disappointing. My husband and I came in after hearing good things, but instead we were met with racially charged attacks from an employee (possibly the manager) named Daniel. He yelled at a couple, accusing of “filling his barren, sun-soaked subdivision with warmth and culture” and declaring we wouldn’t do the same to his coffee shop. He then chased them out of the store!! Can’t believe this happened; completely unacceptable.
lol they had received like 2 reviews in the last week and there have been almost 50 today and counting. I learned some things like the Boundaries baristas are working with soiled pants. Google review war!
I’m not going to post a photo of the paragraph from their handout that addresses floods, but that’s correct. Essentially - stay in cabins unless a counselor or camp personnel say otherwise
Memorial to the deceased, public park/swimming hole, but don't bulldoze anything. Leave the cabins/camp as shrines for people to leaves notes and such for the departed.
Speculation from a seat close to the action -- I think that there will be a lawsuit that many but not all victim families will join, but those involved will have the discretion to settle for policy limits + the camp itself. Which then should be made into a memorial/park/swimming hole.
They are pretty intact although they were inundated almost to the ceiling. The inundation itself wasnt the problem. The river crested pretty rapidly, filling up the cabins, and then fell rapidly and the water draining out of the cabins sucked all the remaining girls out the doors and windows.
These aren't lake houses, they are river houses on hill country rivers well-known to flash flood. Yes, everybody wants to be on the water. On a lake, great. But on a river like that its not that fucking hard to figure it out. We know a lot about geology and hydrology and meteorology in this day and age. The evidence is all over the place of what has happened before -- water shaped all the river valleys. There are no lakes above that location to catch floodwaters. NPR said the other day the the Guad was the most deadly river in the U.S. It should not surprise anyone that this would happen eventually.
Now that I've cooled down, its true that there are a sprinkling of kids at these summer camps that come from extreme privilege, but for the vast majority it is a generational tradition and is filled with ranch girls and others from self-made, pillar-of-the-community families
