Sounds like pricing discipline to me. Good for them.

Personally, I find it more ridiculous that someone doesn’t know the difference between “then” and “than.”

I wholeheartedly agree! I've never been able to have my whole family of five pay an equal amount of attention to the same movie in theater.

This was a classic fun movie.

Correct, the idiots so caught up in their tribalism are exactly the problem. The unwillingness to work on a solution for fear of shared accomplishment is what stands in our way as a country.

From what I understand, they thought they were being hired by America 250, which is nonpartisan.

Thank God the Biden DoJ got involved with the searches in December 2024 before Trump DoJ got tasked with redacting the Epstein files and chasing waterfalls.

Same country, a-hole. It's not sports. Take off your blinders. This is good for very few folks, and it certainly won't make the Republican Party "rich."

That party will be left with so much contingent liability out of its relatively recent loss of moral center, that it will continue to spend so much just to stay in power that it would make a Democrat blush.

Yep, the bulls are one of the best run organizations of the last 10 years.

It's really longer than that. Other than their run and the one or two years before Derrick Rose started leaking hydraulic fluid everywhere, they're historical dog shite.
Great illustration is that Jerry Reinsdorf has owned them and White Sox for 40 years and is only worth $2B.
