    Which is what late night tv should be. An exception would be Gutfeld! or an equivalent on a cable network, where you know the politics going in... Gutfeld or Maher can still be funny, given the right audience.

    I have heard about this happening in places like Laos and Cambodia and even in African countries. China provides infrastructure but loan terms can be really difficult for the country to repay, as well as tying the country into using Chinese technology for almost everything. This could turn out to be a big problem long term.

    I think that most people in the US (and probably in the world) will have a "reduced pay" for the coming year. I dont think a lot of companies who have people on salary will give 7% raises .

    @kluurs said in Should I stay, or should I go?: I missed the last time Muti did the Carmina Burana. I think it was in his first season. It got rave reviews. Never been a huge fan of the work, so it's a "nope" from me. As for Ravinia - I'm not a fan unless sitting in the Pavilion. Sitting on the lawn being eaten by bugs while listening to idiots talking next to one is not my ideal way of spending an evening. I can listen to the music on a better sound system in my living room. Yeah, but your sound system cost more, so, there's that.

    Lately it has been a cat, rabbit or possum. This one looked slimmer and faster than these.

    I agree with @89th on this topic, which should not be surprise to anyone. LOL @George-K Interesting article. The one thing I would counter argue is that the US economy is the "envy" of much of the world. I think one of the reasons is that the Central Bank operates pretty independent of politics.

    @Ivorythumper said in LOLz on FB: @Mik said in LOLz on FB: Omigosh, we walked the tracks all the time, and many times in significantly altered states. The only guy I know who was ever hurt by a train was a buddy of mine in Springfield who hopped the trains a lot to get downtown to the bars. He continued doing it into his 50's and eventually his luck ran out. Lost a leg. But think of how much he saved in cab fares. Also future shoe purchases.
