re: US Soccer is going backwards

Posted by Hayekian serf on 7/6/26 at 9:30 pm to The Boat

It’s the fourth most popular pro sport in the nation.

It’s popular around the world because the poorest of the poor can play it.

I’ve enjoyed the hell out of this run- but it’s likely a long way off from being a sport that puts top tier American athletes on the field.

I’m not sure about anyone else- but I didn’t expect them to win that game.

So the game being on the 5th changes your allegiance?

re: If you could require 5 books to be read (and tested) to graduate HS what would they be?

Posted by Hayekian serf on 7/4/26 at 8:59 am to udtiger

Aristotle’s Rhetoric
Aristotle’s Nicomedean Ethics
Economics in One Lesson
Atlas Shrugged
Brave New World

But I’d have far more than 5 as required

If there is one thing I know about Bosnians- it’s that they aren’t soft

I can’t imagine the Bahamas wouldn’t lose a significant amount of business from sailors if Cuba truly opened up. Right now, the standard route into the Caribbean is to cross the Gulf Stream and head south, with the Bahamas serving as the first stop for just about everyone. If Cuba became fully accessible, I think a lot of that traffic would shift there instead.

May be a bigger deal than some think. I hope this causes a large number of players to stop participating in this nonsense.

If Cuba were to ever completely open up- I’d be interested to see the economic impact on the Bahamas.

re: Anyone think the current pricing will hold?

Posted by Hayekian serf on 6/21/26 at 7:25 pm to igoringa

If some of these tiny nations sneak in to the later rounds somehow the prices should drop. Unlikely they do- but I can see prices dropping for some venues if that happens.

That being said I have enjoyed watching the U.S. games.

So we all subsidize everyone making under 150k?

That’s ridiculous and will never pass.

re: Oklahoma votes NO for minimum wage hike

Posted by Hayekian serf on 6/17/26 at 6:45 am to OU Guy

The real minimum wage is zero.

Minimum wage laws were originally supported by many labor unions as a way to reduce competition from immigrant and minority workers. Today, they are a key policy of democrats.

Movie theater ushers, bag boys, gas station attendants, parking attendants, and countless other starter jobs have largely disappeared.

These weren’t just jobs—they were stepping stones.

Thomas Sowell has some excellent work on the unintended consequences of minimum wage laws. A lot of it is on YouTube.

re: Moon Griffin endorses Flemming for Senate

Posted by Hayekian serf on 6/16/26 at 8:37 pm to MrLSU

I live in Georgia now- but I couldn’t bring myself to vote for an academic administrator under most circumstances.

I’d be voting Fleming- on top of that- and call me sexist all you like- there just aren’t many women I’d confidently vote into office.

There are plenty of women I know, and some I love who I would- but those who end up in government disappoint or turn out wildly different in a few years than what they were sold as.

By that time pulling the tick out is a tough job.
