  1. I watched this in real time. It was interesting because the commentary on the squawk box was that if 1% increase does impact 2mm workers, it's an egalitarian play insomuch as the people losing their jobs are the better off and privileged (e.g. more Tech and Finance and other higher paying jobs) versus NOT raising the rate and having current and continued inflation continue and increasingly hurt the poor, lower middle and middle class Americans (orders of magnitude > 2mm people).
  2. Counterpoint in favor of Home Depot: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/21/home-depot-hourly-workers-raise.html Also Walgreens as always sucked, glad people are now seeing this.
  3. Thanks for the insight. The way it was reported it seemed more finite and smoking gun a la Tech coach.
  4. Why are there no charges still, after being raided 3 years ago?
  5. What did the bipolar cyclone basketball player (edit to add: Caleb Grill) say to get kicked off the team? Still haven't seen it reported nationally anywhere, but figured you'd know.
  6. This theory is predicated on the ole “Mexican think all people of color are the same”
  7. Also, what do you want to bet that now that the fact pattern is established, this falls off the broader publics radar and give-a-crap-a-meter and is washed out of the news cycle by midweek. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but one thing I do know is Nancy Grace ain't walking through the door.
  8. With the new facts that have come to light, I have no problem believing the story. The 4 people are african americans from the South, coming over the border for cosmetic surgery. That's a very popular thing for a certain demographic when they get their tax refund-- whether it be tummy tucks or the brazillian butt job things that are super popular since the kardashian and cardi-b types have made it big in that community. I can believe they got caught up in a crossfire and were bad luck chucks.
  9. Sorry Mr. Presidente of Mexico. Your country is great, don’t mind us. We are just drunk.
  10. I fell off a bar stool blackout drunk during a Matamores spring break and was actually kicked out of the bar. Bordertown Mexico was too classy for me, in my hey day. Another way us Gen X-ers have ruined the world that our Gen Z-er's are inheriting; no more American privilege to just be able to go cheaply crap all over the country across the border and wantonly act like animals as a birth right.
  11. I'm with you on my first suspicion being this isn't random. I wonder if the NC plates van wasn't somehow connected to the trade versus this being 4 bachelor party guys wanting to drink coronitas and see a donkey show.
  12. In the 4 mins I’ve watched of XFL, all today at the end of the vipers/sea snakes game, watching Josh Gordon catch a bomb and back pedal into the end zone like he is playing a game of 500 against his little brothers, was sad.
  13. The point as that mdmost isn’t objective as a Disney fanboi and wanted to paint DeSantis trolling of Disney as a nothing burger when in fact there are real world consequences that have arose. Personally I’m pretty ambivalent towards both DeSantis and Disney these days— heck I put money into the ecosystem by taking the family to Disney world this year— but I’m certainly not a fan of everything they do these days. I just cancelled Disney+ last month as a matter of fact, but I couldn’t care less about Florida politics and the Disney corporation. Let them fight and hurt each other, like watching OU and A&M play.
  14. I’m old enough to remember 3 weeks ago when @mdmostsaid meatball tiny Ron stirring up trouble with Disney was much ado about nothing and nothing would materially change. This appointment seems not good.
  15. I've always thought you were a thoughtful, genuine guy, so I really hope this works out for you. I have a feeling if you put your thoughtfulness and genuiness into this, you will be one of the model use cases and success stories.
  16. Posted without commentary: https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/more-than-half-world-will-be-overweight-or-obese-by-2035-report-2023-03-02/ More than half of the world will be overweight or obese by 2035 - report
  17. Late and default car payment data is at a high, I’ve read recently, and projected to just get higher as tightening continues, good jobs are continuing to be cut, and credit gets maxed. I think if you wait car prices will continue to fall.
  18. One of my friends at a tech firm said he has never seen the quality and quantity of candidates like he has the past few weeks. It's overwhelming and intimidating almost-- tons of extremely great talent with awesome backgrounds and experiences on the street right now, take advantage for sure.
  19. Note to self: don’t run across the street as I start to get up in age. That’s a gruesome injury; you must have been at top speed
  20. What did the Iowa state kid say that got him kicked off the team?
