Yes, shocking news.

I'd say it likely signals the end of the Pac12.

If you are attempting to characterize capitalism as 'pure exploitation'... you are incorrect. If you are pointing out that is has the potential or tendency to become almost that when improperly...

Yes, there's more support than ever now for abortion availability and women's rights in general. More pushback against the egregious SCOTUS malfeasance.

No substantive response to his correspondent.

Weird irrelevant graphical content.

Yup... it's a Ted post.

As I've noted before, the TONE directed at bbbbbbys that you object to didn't start out 'exasperated'. It started out respectful and collegial. He EARNED every ounce of disapprobation he receives....

No background. No research. No thought invested prior to posting. A weird, idiosyncratic understanding of what triggers an official declaration of 'recession'.

Yup... it's a Ted post.

I didn't know she liked beer, either!!!

'Regulatory Capture' is a well-known way that capitalism can go wrong.

And it is just one more sign that the Acton Dictum is in play.

It tends to minimize when that concentration of wealth &...

I could disagree with any hint of 'harsh'. Where do you find it so in those two questions as phrased?

Yes, different dynamics. Very different.

One difference - tRump's unpopularity was almost totally self-inflicted. Inspired by things he did and who he is.

Sorta. But not precisely.

I do get weary of repeating myself, but here it goes again. "... is ultimately destructive" is hyperbolic.

Are you sure about that one? I thought it was always safe, and always 'in order' to blame the skinny kid <G>

Morning All,

Interesting coffee discovery. I buy various 'good' coffee - from the supermarket, or coffee shops, or direct from some very well-regarded roasters. Always interested in learning more....

I've spoken before decrying this level of ahistorical, ignorant, cynical, nihilism. It's lazy and self-indulgent.

And most of you lot are rolling exuberantly in it.

Oh, and it's just the...

You go, guys!!! We're all rooting for ya!

Thank GOD this reign of terror is over!!!! :rolleyes:

Hear, hear!!!

DOUBLE Congratulations!!!

I agree. So tell your buddy bbbbbbbys to answer the questions and end it.

Sounds like a very regimented, bureaucratic organization you work for. I'd never make it. I'd say something blunt and get fired... probably sooner than later. Too many years as the boss... able to...

Careful. You know how easily you sprain various body parts!! <G>

Morning All,

Coffee & cake on board. Garden watered. Day planned. Time for a nap <G>

Hope everyone is doing good this morning!

For those who don't know the old labor song, 'Joe Hill', here it is. I rewrote it as a tribute for a much-loved boating companion. Sang it a capella for our boating group after his death.

A bit understated, but quite good!

You could pay closer attention. He's perfectly capable of being reasonable, as I've said. And it's nice to see that he can.

I do read the labels. Have for decades. Back then, it was the best way to find out who was doing what. These days, I've got a pretty good handle on it. Never, for instance, bothered to look today....

It's from a smaller local firm. They don't go full 'organic, all-natural' but they do a pretty good job. Sodium is under 600mg per serving.

I have my doubts about that 'safe' part.

But I'd love to be convinced otherwise. Do you have info you can link to where they make the 'safe' argument? Is it the same as #13?

The more you watch Fox, and other disinformation sources, the more ignorant you become.

I answer to 'Blimpy' <G>

Back from the grocery expedition. It was a real adventure with toddlers in tow. Mostly fun though. Got some tater salad from the deli, too. All set for tonight.

True, except it started earlier. It started with Nixon and his gang of thugs. Watergate. The Southern Strategy. Etc. Back then, though, they were the minority of R leadership. Now - the vast majority...

BBQing burgers tonight. Heading out shortly to get some big buns <shaddup Tulsy>. Taking the babies and their mama... just for fun. I love bbq burgers!!

That's my understand also... of the current situation. But they continue to do research.

Lotta money to be made, if that little detail can be smartly addressed. When Washington was building a...

Precisely

My disagreement is with the characterization of 'paralyzed'. It amounts to a serious bit of 'pearl-clutching', both from what I know historically, and from what I see in my personal dealings.

Agree. I understand that there's a push going on. But there's going to have to be a whole different approach... some sort of breakthru... in waste disposal before I regard nuclear as plausible or...

True.

But there IS one party that is primarily to blame, because Acton Dictum.

One party has almost totally embraced the concentration of wealth & power among those already having both. The...

How come Curtis ain't stopping by much these days. Too many girlfriends keeping him too many busies.

This is not quite 'much ado about nothing'. But it's leaning that way.

I have a long history as an activist, and I can state with certainty that - because of our values - we have always been more...

Republicans lie. The saddest part is when they lie to themselves...

Morning All,

I'll take dessert. And if you could pass along my best wishes for the ol' cowpoke, I'd appreciate it.

There's a reason he's been on my Ignore List for a long time. So I won't be tempted to let him waste any more of my time. The people who responded to the nonsense OP have to make their own decisions...
