They should be able to parlay that dedication into a lucrative post-play career.

Yes one of the few facts on the ground with Trump's tariff insanity remains that he does not have the runway for any best case tariff scenario to actually play out. He will spend all his political capital as the plane hurtles down that runway, and it will never take off, because a different administration will be voted in, mostly on a no-tariff platform, which will suddenly become the greatest political messaging since no boys in girls sports.

Just down the road from you in Martinsville.

We knew all this going in and greed got the best of the powers that be. Look at the lottery craze at the end of the 19th century.

@Jolly said in Gen X in creative fields losing their jobs: I see no reason why we can't do what the tech industry does and put some emphasis on certificates. Don't know if @Horace or @Mik see it differently, I don't get the sense that certificates mean much in the high tech industry when it comes to hiring for or actually doing a job.

The woman that runs NPR was 22 when TNCR was founded. Damn we old.

It is a cool story.

@89th said in Is anyone tracking DOGE lies?: @Horace said in Is anyone tracking DOGE lies?: @89th said in Is anyone tracking DOGE lies?: @Horace said in Is anyone tracking DOGE lies?: How about a pat on the back to DOGE for exposing this hilarious retirement mine fiasco? Nobody wants to high five them for that? You do realize this mine wasn’t a secret before? Maybe Elon discovered it but it’s not new. Further a former manager of the site said there’s “no elevator that restricts how many files (therefore people) can retire per month. It’s literally on the same level as the entrance.” And there isn’t a cap of 10,000 or 8,000 per month, the mine has nothing to do with the pace of retirements processed each month.” Sometimes I feel like Lt. Daniel Kaffee. Illegal immigration wasn't a secret before Trump, either. Attention has a way of changing priorities. Mark my words, even if they digitize the entire iron mountain process, it will not change the pace of federal retirements. Btw they said it will only take a couple of months. So let’s check back in the summer to see if it’s done? Yeah, that one I agree was a little fanciful. It would take that long to design the system to hold these records digitally. I wonder at what age can they dispose of these records.

Invite them both to your house for a beer. And livestream it to TNCR.

No, I don't like unnamed sources. I do suspect, as time goes on and Biden dies, we're going to learn quite a few things definitely. Autopens for EO's, contingency plans for sudden death, certain modalities used to keep monies flowing to the Biden family.

@Mik said in Vivek for Ohio: Sure, I do too. But since that description applies to 90 percent of pols Wed do well to stick to substance. I felt that he transcended the normal boundaries of political society in his outpourings which were, as you might say, embued with a very sticky substance.

Maybe that was just his way of saying ‘no’.

Western district no less. Like so many women, Pam loves to shop.

Gosh I’m thankful my kid isn’t spouting off stuff like this on social media. That was hard to listen too.

But the toadying is nauseating, and the refusal of those on the right to criticize Trump and his gang for their obvious mistakes is ridiculous.

I hope he goes public with some more details about his interactions with RFK that led him to conclude that truth and transparency has no place. I'm will listen, but until then, we have one side of a story that began with Dr Marks being asked to leave, by RFK.
