No argument. Interesting analysis.

That is a very cool memory she shared. A slice of history.

Trump set things in motion to leave. He depleted ****** and basically released thousands. Pretty poor leadership. Biden hits upon a record pace for executive orders, many of them reversing Trump’s policies. https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2021/politics/biden-executive-orders/index.html Not...

From “The Virgin Vote” by Jon Grinspan. Apparently the secret to a high voter turn out was to give first time voters *****. (Ok, maybe that isn’t the exact point, but I bet that works)

A happier thought on the Mike Piazza home run post 9/11. Just saw this article while scarfing down my lunch. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/32164769/20-years-later-enduring-legacy-mike-piazza-home-run

On the US Economic front, unemployment claims have dropped to a pandemic-low. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/09/weekly-jobless-claims-.html I'll bet you a Jack Daniels that it will drop again after September. The market is not out of the woods...

Tomorrow will be a day of reflection in the US as many of us will be reflecting on the attacks and those we lost. Many of us in NY know people who were lost when the buildings came down and I know I can still see the faces of my friends who working in the towers who did not make it...

Well, that makes you a dude. :) Very funny....and accurate post.

..but you did :p and I have no idea what you're talking about. All good. Yup, yup, that is what I did.

I've heard of, heard it discussed, but never read it. I'll bump it up on the reading list. Not commenting on a book I haven't read, but when I see many people post (not referring to this site, but we are probably not immune) about founding fathers or other people in history, the context is...

In this we agree. Unfortunately, I've been casting my vote in the same way. Tired of voting to the lesser of two who cares.

If you could be more specific, I'm very ok with clarifying. I admit to having a job induced habit of not filling in all the blanks on purpose. That flows over and is never intended negatively, just a habit. Re: "To each their own, right?" - Absolutely!

Agreed. Jay's treaty certainly created the "First Party System". It become a pendulum and we see it today. The problem is the further you push the pendulum to one one side, the further it will swing back to the other side. I forget who I'm paraphrasing, but I agree with this (...but still...

Do sins exist in the sense that they are tangible and matter to the the broad pluralistic masses? I'd argue no, but I'd probably just not argue whatever answer you gave. With that said, I wasn't using a literal and strict definition of the word "sin", just referring to what appears to be a...

It can’t possibly matter. I was in a discussion with one guy (maybe it was three, but sounded like one) and he started quoting post counts and likes. First I thought he was a loser, but then I felt kinda sad that this was where he put the value of his life…then I realized it isn’t my place to...

...or the Brits. ...but they may be the record holders for getting thrown out of countries.

Perhaps somebody said, "Afghanistan Bananastan"

****** time and drama. I think think is pure politics. Harris campaigned yesterday in support of Newsom. Dems outnumber Republicans 2 to 1 in the state and a recent poll by the Public Policy Institute of california showed that 58% of likely voters opposed recalling Newsom, who is a first...

What do you call meat if it is grown in a lab? What do you call a hamburger when the cow it came from is still alive? That what the Department of Agriculture (USDA) is trying to figure out. lol Cell-based meat - AKA lab-grown, cultivated or cultured meat - scored $360m plus (US) in funding in...

Very good point. It is a challenge as crypo moves into the world of banking, how regulators respond. BlockFi is a platform that allows their customers to deposit and withdraw assets, pay interest on holdings, and lends to both individuals and institutions. Sounds quite a bit like a bank to...

Definitely interesting. Tough to be altruistic. Economies are very different too. India and China are in a different place than the US. Making comparisons to individual European countries, like Germany, to the U.S. in a sense is like comparing apples and oranges. Not asking you to do homework...

I don't think I would call Biden a dictator. As MSN says, he was ethical blindness towards his ******. That is not trivial. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/yes-joe-biden-is-compromised-by-his-familys-shady-foreign-dealings/ar-BB19uiRD Elections have consequences for sure and when you...

I'm definitely not *** anymore, but have seen videos where people watch PubG players online. Interesting in the fact that people are interested in doing that. The unscientific sampling of players I've seen n the 2 videos I watched seemed like sharp ****. I don't know if they smoke pot, but...

El Salvador officially adopted Bitcoin. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/07/bitcoin-retreats-from-the-highest-level-since-may-as-el-salvador-adopts-it-as-legal-tender.html I'm wondering what the banana to btc rate will be. ;) It did fall 17% at one point yesterday.

At least at this point in time, Biden's numbers are as low and as divided as Trumps were, per NPR. https://www.npr.org/2021/09/02/1033433959/biden-approval-rating-afghanistan-withdrawal It will be interesting to see what a year from this point will do. Afghanistan certainly hit a cord that...

Helping a colleague round out course material and oddly enough read the following link and thought of your post. Even George Washington had problems with popularity at time. :) https://allthingsliberty.com/2021/09/examining-public-opinion-during-the-*******-rebellion/

As I read the news this morning, the significance of these specific interviews really shines through. There never was a legitimate plan in place and the administration's statements of accountability are a contradiction to reality.

Perhaps there is some weird form of penance going on in Washington D.C. and there was a decision made to just not to defend. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/taliban-wont-let-planes-with-us-citizens-green-card-holders-leave-afghanistan-officials-say/?utm_source=join1440&utm_medium=email

Win or lose the legal battle, if the state republicans are making anti-abortion a legal issue in Texas, it is a strategic win for the Democrats. Why the Republicans would stir up the Democratic base and shift attention is beyond me. I would imagine some RNC people are pulling their hair out...

Actually, I think it is better than ever. when you ignore the trolls with alleged multiple profiles, you don’t see them any more.

I think the ignore function works better than ever. Great Jon, FO Team!

Just a note in case you check here, if not, I'll hit you on the econ group.... Spent 30 minutes collecting the statistical data on posts, times, and how much the profiles give positive reactions and you'll see in the chart, it is an outlier. Its all one or employees is the conclusion based on...

The military ****** two of the ISIS K leaders involved. That is a good thing. The problem was started when Bush/Cheney went in without a plan. A search & destroy targeted at specific terrorists may have been a better approach on hindsight.

Sad to see. Bad planning, bad execution. Finger pointing when leadership is needed the most. Watching CNN and seeing the poll that 56% of Americans thinks we will be going back for ISIS. That is really the only point. Witnessing the sad events and lack of leadership That seems to continue. Your...
