  1. I agree with there being something because the point Blacklab made--old people vote.  But clearly something has to change.  Raise/eliminate the cap being the most obvious.  I think means testing is too difficult to implement.  But I'm not counting on anything.

    I'd be curious if you eliminate the cap, what could you do at the bottom of the income range to put more money in the hands of low income earners. Something like SS tax doesn't kick in until $10k earned income.  Or $20k.  Whatever the number is that makes even out with the added tax revenue at the top.  Of course that will never happen, but people making >$176k won't miss the money more than it would benefit low income earners.

    Our hs football team is on tv tonight. She just said “we just got a two point kick attempt blocked.”

    Maybe she's watched a lot of middle school football lately.  The kick after a TD is worth 2pts.

    Antifa is an ideology, Phil. This is no different than if an AG under a democratic president said “Yeah we’re gonna be killing conservatives.”

    And weird that Democrats are referred to as both Fascists and Anti-Fascist at the same time.

  5. The title made me think it was a Jason Statham movie.  Ex-military turned roofer out for revenge because the daughter of someone on his crew was murdered or kidnapped.  And it would get my money.

    But agree, this looks pretty fun.

  6. Sweetwater is where we make our first stop on our annual summer trip from Austin to Crested Butte.

    There's a place called AM Donuts at the intersection of I20 and whatever the main road is coming north into town. The people running it couldn't be any nicer. We load up on Kolaches, donut holes, and/or breakfast sandwiches to have for the entire trip. They usually throw in several things for free when my kids have a hard time deciding what to get.

    That's a great story.  I assume somewhere near central Austin given the age?

    I think I'd classify it as Tarrytown, but I don't exactly know the Tarrytown borders.

    It's a really nice stone house

  8. If Delta starts an AUS to SJC Nerd Bird route, I'll switch 100% of my travel to them.  I've had really good experiences the couple times I've flown on them recently to Seattle.

    Currently I do SWA for the SJC trips and United partners to and through Europe, but that's mainly because of my legacy United status and the fact there are a lot of route options with no more than 1 stop to get to/from most cities in Europe (FRA direct, or connect through EWR, IAH, ORD, IAD, or even DEN if I'm desperate enough).  But if there is SJC flight, that would be Bay Area, Seattle, and easy flights to Europe.

    you snap it before the 2 minute warning in case you don't convert.  that was a mistake.

    Not a Cowboys fan. I have no dog in this fight.

    But your post was the entire problem with the drive. They played like the goal was to give the ball back to Philly ASAP and then get the ball back as quickly as possible. They had 3 minutes and 3 time outs, and ran 7 straight passes in hurry up offense.  Just stupid strategy.
