    The play isn't to help American consumers. It's to help American oligarchs that exploit those consumers. Enshittification out front shoulda told ya.

    The consumers will voice with the votes.

  2. We import so much shit from China, from consumer electronics, beauty products, clothes, furniture, etc. The reason why we import so much shit from China is because it is cheaper than where we can get it anywhere else. US Consumers are the largest benefactor, by far. Shit is going to get even more expensive. China is gambling that they can endure their hit to their economy longer than US consumers can endure a hit to their wallet. The next election will tell the story of who wins. If there is a wholesale change to Republican seats, China wins because the people voted to exit the tariff dick measuring contest. If there isn't a massive shit in seats, then Trump won and China has to acquiese. 

    That's my take anyway.

  3. Give this a listen. He received his Bachelor of Science in Economincs at Wisconsin, Master of Arts in Applied Economics from Michigan, and Master of Public Administration from Harvard. Eloquence, intelligence and visionary. Listen to what Singapore is going to do for it's citizens to help deal with the bullshit.

    What the fuck is this administration doing?

  4. I made the 7th grade basketball team. I never had played bball for any team or league prior to that. I needed to buy basketball shoes. 

    My parents took me to Target to get Roos (short for Kangaroos) basketball shoes. I remember wearing them to practice the first day and the other kids were like, what the fuck is that? I didn't know any better. I thought they looked cool since they were my first bball shoes.

  5. While at Texas, both of my daughters knew students who committed suicide: one female student killed herself in her West Campus dorm room, a male student jumped off the roof of a dorm in West Campus, another male student shot himself. I don't believe any of suicides were ever publicly acknowledged by UT. I'm thinking this another suicide and we won't hear a follow up story. I heard of rumors of a student killing himself in PCL when I was at Texas in the early 90s.

    Regardless of what happened here, there are probably friends and families in grief right now. 

     

  6. For over a year, I pretty much gave up on eating out. On a whim and an early morning tee time, I stopped by Shipleys to grab 2 donuts and a coffee. The coffee was $4.99 for a large. Fancy ground up dirt flavored water. 5 fucking dollars.

    They just assured that I will never go back there again. I hope that place burns down. 

    I hope all of these places charging the shit out of everything close down. Fuck them.

  7. Just now, Vegas64 said:

    Regarding the GoFundMe conversation, why does it matter if the family is going to use it for funerals or therapy or if they are going to use it for food or enjoying time with their family or whatever. The parents experienced a horrible loss, if making their life easier by providing some financial gifts (even if it was already relatively easy in your eyes) is something an individual or a community wants to do, what's it matter to you? It's not your money.

    ...so hookers and blow.

  8. On a Reddit thread in /r/Frisco, so read it with your bs detector glasses on, it was stated that Melo and the victim had previous beef. That Melo told people he was going to stab someone that day. That the twins were known bullies. That the victim punched first, after breaking Melo's phone. The article says grabbed. 

    At this point, it just seems like teenage idiots being teenage idiots. Sad that someone died and lives are forever ruined.
