That image looks like something out of The Running Man.

Why are people so upset about this? We get to actually see what will happen if an “socialist” takes over instead of theorizing. This will be a fun case study that doesn’t affect the rest of us.

The problem is, it will spread once it gets a foothold. The media will not cover the failure and only air the happy recipients.

At least they have the option to boycott a renovated facility.

Calcasieu Parish pays 10.75% 5% to the state, but the other 5.75% goes to the parish. You wouldn't know it by coming here. Also, they make a ton from the casino revenue. CP should be infinitely nicer than it is.

Sales tax revenue funds the public school system. It doesn’t go into capital improvements in general. Who knows where the casino revenue goes, even though that was sold as a way to improve schools in the beginning.
My question is why are Larry Page and Peter Thiel still there? Better late than never I guess.
That makes it sound easy. Why not just introduce a bill that makes everyone a billionaire? All our problems would be solved!

Or this is just better optics in this day and age where mayors, governors, and members of congress are bitching about an executive who executes laws.

Why is Trump doing this? I never understood the reasoning

To keep it out of China’s hands, or at least lessen their influence in the region. Greenland is actually pretty strategic from a minerals and potential military standpoint. In this case, I think Trump is thinking long-term as a counter to China’s 100 year strategy.
I think that would be a knee-jerk reaction at this point. Let the market sort it out over the course of time. The article you linked even said the facility will undergo upgrades during the shutdown to make it more efficient. Also, as you stated, there could be other factors accounting for the loss of revenue.

Let Canada escalate things if they want to. Then we’ll see.

Yes context does matter. How was Tulane and JMU able to score more points against better teams on the road than Texas A&M was against a lesser team at home?

It’s not just about scoring, it’s about preventing scores. You call the game based on circumstances as a coach. It’s also about matchups. But you know this and are just trolling.

against tougher opponents and on the road

Context matters. A&M was tied in the 4th with their opponent. Tulane and JMU….not so much.

You may be right when the night is over. In fact, I basically agree with you. But there has only been one G5 team to play so far. Your title says “These games”.

People complain about the targeting rule then complain when targeting isn't called. Be consistent

I know you responded to someone else, but my issue is the inconsistency lies with the referees not the fans.
quote:

The targeting rule shouldn't exist.

I agree with that part.

I’m thinking back a few days when I saw a USF player get disqualified from their bowl game for tackling the runner 10 yards downfield and the ball carrier lowered his head at full speed into the defenders helmet to try for extra yards. Comparing that play to the one today, they were both called incorrectly/inconsistently. Like the OP, I don’t have a dog in any of these fights.

I thought the same thing and I’m usually arguing in favor of not calling it since a lot of the time the offensive player ducks his head also. But that was pretty obviously a foul on the defense.

Found it odd that the refs throw the flag out of instinct most of the time, but let it go when actually is targeting by rule.

Leftists are so small minded. This one seems to think that the little bubble she lives in is the whole world. This is not uncommon in the leftist mind. Time for her to move to a country where she is in the minority. She probably doesn’t know places like that exist.
