  1. That’s not price gouging. That’s price discovery.
  2. T This. Jokic is unquestionably the most valuable player this season. SGA has made the most free throws on the best team, though.
  3. What’s your goal? Investment or capital protection?
  4. The same cause as always- too many dollars chasing too few goods. Slightly below historical average rates = “painful”, got it.
  5. What? They were each widely considered to be the best coach not leading a nationally elite program at that moment and prior to Texas hiring them it was anticipated that each would be offered the next top flight jobs that opened.
  6. Nonsense. The meemaws, the aunties, and the tias all love my bright blue eyes and rakish, lopsided grin.
  7. There's nothing wrong with going nowhere son, it's a privilege of youth. @Gardner Barnes
  8. This- it’s funny, I get asked all the time if I worry about my kid riding the subways in New York. She’s far safer there than driving a car on I35 or 2222.
  9. I’m obviously sad my girls went to college so far away from home because I miss them, but I worry about them far less in Edinburgh and NYC specifically because they are almost never in a car.
  10. I understand you point, but there’s a significant amount of personal maturing that happens from 26-30 years old. And you were not making the comparison or defending the trade but it’s worth mentioning that Anthony Davis has only played 70 games once since 2018, when he was 25.
  11. Of course I do, and said so above. I mentioned them both being a problem. But this one is on the cops.
  12. I congratulate their success but I feel like this is just the tip of the iceberg. we need more products with military adjacent or weapon associated branding. Examples: F-47 Mobility Scooters Centerfire Tactical Adult Diapers Molonlabe SGLT-2 Inhibitor
  13. No offense but bullshit. Prior to the ban being rescinded it wasn’t being prosecuted, either, just policed. There’s no upside. Do you want to fill up the county jail with homeless people?
  14. Decent but Democrats need to be attention grabbing, and that takes shock. It would also be smart to start co-opting their words, e.g: “Texas is dying. What the hell do you have to lose?” And “Make Texas Great Again.”
  15. This is exactly right. See I think this is too much. The lawyerly impulse to cite evidence is great for court but dilutes clear themes for Democrats. As usual, I think Trump had the right approach when he told groups that Democrats take for granted “what the hell do you have to lose?” Democrats should say that, except to rural and exurban whites.
  16. Did they know about the empathy? Did anybody tell them? This has been going on for 30 years and I haven’t seen one campaign that led with “this place is dying and you voted for it.”
  17. There’s an opportunity for Democratic legislators to “work with rural Republicans” on wedge bills in the lege. But the political opportunity for Texas Democrats is to flip or suppress some disaffected people in rural and exurban areas who don’t identify strongly with any party but vote Republican by default, which is probably a high single/low double digit number.
  18. Priced in. Here’s the deal- the culture war shit is so potent in part because it’s a way to connect people and places that are better off with moral decay and violence. Incidentally this is also true on the bottom rung of the socioeconomic ladder in big cities. But outside of the six largest metros and a handful of vacation destinations, things are pretty bleak. And they know it. They don’t need anybody to come up with scare stories on fox to show them the problem. So Democrats in Texas need to be on the ground, in Montague and Bandera and Terry and Anderson and Jasper and Aransas and all the other counties where the suicide rate is double the state average, talking about how shitty things are and pointing fingers.
