Black players can dislike all they want, but the league will become more white over the coming years. The emphasis placed on the 3 point shot has been somewhat of an equalizer for white players. It plays to the historic strengths of many white players who have to rely on ball handling and shooting accuracy over raw athleticism. Cooper Flagg is a unicorn and would flourish whether the 3’s had become more important or not.

There needs to be a lot of this going on. Having everything within 40 miles of DC is insane especially in a world where we can communicate with each other from almost anywhere. Having everything this close together allows for politicization of what should be nonpolitical positions. It would also be disastrous if the DC area was ever targeted with a nuke. Spreading out govt. offices to different parts of the country makes a lot of sense. Congress members should be operating 90% of the time out of their own state/congressional district as well.

The problem that smooth brains can't factor is that nobody really "eats" anything. The tariffs either get paid by the consumer, or the employees who would otherwise get raises don't get them, or jobs that would otherwise be available don't exist, or the company becomes less profitable, which shows up in its stock value, etc., etc., etc.

This is true unfortunately. I’m in sales, but close friends with a couple of our owners. When we have to “eat” a 4-8% loss because of tariffs it has to come from somewhere. It causes hiring freezes, inability for expansion, bonus freezes, etc. That affects American jobs.

Tariffs are paid by everyone along the line. For instance, if there is a new 25% tariff imposed, the manufacturer may eat 5% along with the company having it produced eating 5%. That would still lead to a 15% price increase to the end consumer. If there is a small enough tariff, 5-12%, you may see none of it passed to consumer, but just about anything larger than that will get passed on.

I think Mulkey sat her because of the OM game. Yarnevich didnt play either. I’m guessing she’s hurt.

I love the fact that they played the Free Bird guitar exit after we made the winning goal. I’m not a big fan of piped in music, but sometimes it works.

Burroughs is one of the best mid major coaches out there. Adding Federico to operations can only help.

John C Reilly looked like he was only 120 lbs. in that movie. Dude has beefed up since way back then.

If they are bad enough maybe DeAngelo disappears from following LSU sports.

I like In-n-out. I don’t know if it’s the best, but there’s so many burger place it’s hard to say one is superior to all the rest. I do a dbl-dbl with animal fries.

I'm OK with this. Checks and balances, this is the Judiciary checking the power of the Executive. There will be a Democrat in the White House one day, and I'll be in support of this ruling.

I really don’t feel that upset over it either. I’m curious how they propose the govt. repays the companies who paid the tariffs.
