  1. Lots of chatter about "reverse repo" by the fed heating up. This is not on mainstream media and I don't think 95% of the population would grasp the concept anyway. Anyone on here know the true impact? I'm just seeing the doomsday prognostication on YouTube but there is quite a bit of it in the last couple of days.
  2. She may have had a poor immune response to the vaccine in the first place. As in, low or no acquired immunity. Hope she pulls through.
  3. The troops could have least had a garage sale and would have come out with enough cash for a nice dinner at Applebee’s.
  4. Dude’s 83 and by the looks of him, dead within 5 years. His finally getting caught and jail time was barely “better late than never.” In other words, he’s lived his prime a free man. Hopefully some victims were satisfied with his conviction but I don’t see much justice in it.
  5. Religion and weather events. It’s like fishing bait on here.
  6. I wish. But we were Outpatient Covid central during the peak of the pandemic and we will be the last clinic to ditch the masks despite most of us being vaccinated. Still seeing a couple of cases a day and seat of the pants observation tells me it’s the Delta variant. Almost no one is coming in symptomatic positive post vaccine or post previous infection.
  7. I’d like to welcome all the baseball fans to football off-season. Pull up a chair for the next couple of months.
  8. It’s all the same trailers in Tornado Alley so it’s a wash.
  9. Texas just got staight up beat. No hard feelings on this one. The first Miss St game in Omaha…. that was anger inducing.
  10. This. In the armpit that is Waco, I meet a ton of students at TSTC that are in 18 month programs that spit them out into jobs paying close to high 5 figures. Steady employment with benefits with pay that can easily can jump into low 6 figures without tons of student debt. Some of these jobs are going to make you sweat your ass off but you are going to have steady employment with benefits and know you are doing your part to keep this country running. Skilled labor is in high demand. I guess you can still stop at the coffee shop for your latte anyway. There is opportunity in this country if you are willing to work. We just need to make sure those born into poor circumstances obtain this opportunity as well.
  11. Mucho respect if you have that amount of patience. And I wouldn't blame you if you jumped ship. I'm thinking Ford is doing more for Jeep marketing than Jeep themselves. People (not meaning you) are overall compulsive in this country. They made up their minds they want an offroad vehicle when the Bronco was announced/revealed and they will go looking for a different one when they can't get their first choice especially if the wait gets extended.
  12. He paid two trucks worth of money plus a $30K dealer markup for that so he gets two parking spaces. Duh!!
  13. That sounds like something someone who orders children off the secret pizza menu would say.
  14. We have a generation or two that have been raised with the political mindset that you are either a victim or the "victims" are coming after you. MSNBC and FOX news. This is how we are controlled politically and monetarily. I'm not sure we drag this country out of it due to the persistent focus on self and/or self pity. We have made us our own idol and we suck big time at being our own gods. It's no coincidence that we have spiking rates of depression, anxiety and suicide (this was happening prior to Covid). We've spent the last couple of decades telling people that they can be whatever they want to be (which is complete BS) and you absolutely deserve whatever is better than you have right now. We had a good taste of this in the 80's and that was a pretty morally bankrupt time with lots of personal demons created in the excess of self and greed. Rinse and repeat until we fold as a nation.
  15. Your revisionist history of healthcare is biased and incomplete. There is no "free market" in healthcare and one could argue that Medicare poisoned the well and has been a cornerstone of complex and convoluted pricing for decades, ripe for abuse and greed. Medicare (and Medicaid to some extent) helped to create the worst of both worlds with crappy non-transparent pricing and crappy care. It's definitely a "both sides" problem. Not so much a topic for restaurant wages because at least restaurants are a lot more free market than healthcare. Apples and oranges man.
  16. This is on Pierce. Not on Witt. You two ain’t doing any better up there at 18 or however old your fat asses are.
  17. These announcers are a beating. Shut up about your glory days.
  18. He set himself up for that one watching the two strikes over the plate. Pitcher just had to finish him off.
  19. Is there actually any data that former restaurant workers are working at other jobs even for lower pay or is everyone on here pulling opinions out of their ass for confirmation bias?
