    UT is already turning the corner on this. I’m super disappointed in Hartzell. The BOR fundamentally wants to change the university. Civitas Institute just the beginning.

    Society has changed. Much more designed to get in your pocket than it was in then. Every time I pay for a car wash, yard guy or oil change, I can hear my father in my head telling me I’m wasting money. My parents literally had the same furniture my whole life. I never wanted for anything growing up. But, it was a different mindset. Eating out was Luby’s. We didn’t get cable until 1980 and there was no way my parents were going to pay for an extra phone line for me to chat up my friends. Most of my clothes were hand me downs. We took driving vacations and stayed in roadside motels. I remember eating pimento cheese sandwiches out of a cooler at roadside rest areas. My father performed tasks around the house that I would have no clue about how to do now. When my parents passed, they were sitting on a very large sum of money. They could have had nicer things but they really didn’t feel the need.

    I’ve got to say that this has been a topic with my other friends who were in school during the 80’s. My four years, we did not beat A&M once. It was fucking miserable. Those people seriously made you secretly pissed that Texas was so gracious when the bonfire finally toppled because of stupidity that was even evident to me as a college student. For my generation, we hated ou but would trade a loss in that game for a win against a&m. To a man, all my friends think that Texas will not be prepared for the hate that those people will have for them.

    And go on that Carnival cruise during the summer.

    Fuck them. You will make a lot of memories on that trip. Hope you and your family enjoy.

    And then she tried to deny it. I remember at the time that I kind of hoped he had given her a world class case of the herpes.

    Uncomfortable silence…

    That will just be a drop in the bucket verses every CEO’s bonus now being labeled a tip. The Supreme Court already held this year that a public official can take a “tip” and thus it’s not violative state of anti bribery statutes.

    FAFO restaurant managers. Hope you enjoy working more for less.

    Kind of a metaphor for my life. Ain’t what I used to be.

    I had a good thirty min then nothing.

    I deleted twitter and stopped watching cable news. I will watch the evening national news and read a newspaper but I’m not subjecting myself to CNN and MSNBC and all the opinion stuff masquerading as expertise.

    Mom is always right.

    Sure, but you understand that just being under investigation can cause someone to expend a significant amount of resources.

    Read about Andy McCabe. Read about how Barr fucked around with Cohen when he wouldn’t agree to not write a book. Here is something from today. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/ar-AA1u4Jzh

    Pilgrim’s Pride chicken ranches in East Texas will go out of business.

    I don’t really have the inclination to think it through. But, I’ve seen some things up close in my time and a motivated prosecutor has a lot of power. Kind of like when they go after someone for something and they turn over every rock and find some transaction and label it tax fraud even though it had nothing to do with why they were looking at them in the first place. Sometimes I wish people really understood what goes on in the justice system. You probably think judges are impartial too, right?

    They don’t have to be able to convict. They just have to make you spend all of your life savings defending against the charges. It does not take much to get an indictment. You will free yourself from it but it will definitely suck your resources.

    Trump is using recess appointments for his entire cabinet. There won’t be any confirmations according to what I’m reading.
  20. CTC2
    How about a primer on how that works for the uninitiated?

    Only the truly stupid doubted it.
  22. CTC2
    Yeah, I’d like to know about this too.

    He just wants to be there to help usher in the end times. I’m not joking.

    Interestingly, I got a “What’s in store from Trump 2.0” from JPM today and it was less than optimistic. Said that as big of a disaster as tariffs will be, mass deportations will damage the economy more. Interesting that Berkshire has moved to a majority cash position.

    Sight unseen I’d say you have a keeper.
