Biden Calls for Gas Tax Holiday
Jauronimo replied to ChiGoose's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
You really think no one considered the consequences of a near global embargo on Russian oil exports? No one on his team had an inkling that banning exports from a top 5 oil and gas exporting nation might create massive shortages across Europe and increase prices globally? -
Biden Calls for Gas Tax Holiday
Jauronimo replied to ChiGoose's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
No refineries of notable capacity have been built in this country since the 1970s. 1977 to be precise. Theres a little more to the story than just the Biden admins anti-fossil fuel position. For all Biden's efforts to kill the oil and gas industry its doing remarkably well. Perhaps its more performative than substance. -
As if slicing up subprime garbage into a hundred tiny slivers (tranches) and packaging it together with other dog**** and calling it all AAA rated, investment grade securities was not enough, Wall Street revived some arcane derivatives to really f@#$ everything up. The Credit Default Swap. Ultimately, it was AIG that decided to insure the entire pool of MBSs 10x over with CDSs because in their estimation it was nothing more than collecting monthly checks risk free. Of course none of this was possible without irresponsible and often predatory lending and GSEs backing it all through buying every ***** mortgage written, but Wall Street played a massive role in that perfect storm.

Dinner Party: Two Bills and One Actor

Allen Fitzy Bill Murray That would be a fun table. Maybe not as fun as the snapper table, but fun. -
Are players’ comments about the Bills’ culture typical?
Jauronimo replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yes, success, culture, and everything else is a lot easier with a generational QB. -

Break it down for him in terms of production and dollars at the pump. -

How much domestic production did he "stop"? -

Having a culture that attracts, retains, and develops players is a sustainable formula for success. -
If you thought the doubters were gone...they're not.

Skip still lights a candle every night for Johnny Manziel. This is highly foolish but unsurprising. -

That was the intent. Pick it up! Mics are expensive to be throwing around for dramatic effect and thats just unsanitary. -

But they aren't using the woke excuse and their streaming numbers are rising....

Politicians used to be more reserved and understated types before our discourse resembled WWF promos. I preferred it the old way. Now we have members of congress who call their opponents the Jihad Squad in public forums and no one bats an eye. Hogan vs. the Iron Sheik on the floor of congress. You can be strong and confident without beating your chest and throwing your own feces around like a gorilla. I don't need fake bravado from my elected officials. Biden's dementia tales of knife fighting behind the shed with corn pop and Trump's bully act do nothing for me. I'll choose UFC all day for bravado and watch guys talk ***** and actually put it on the line.

Disney+ is a monthly, paid, subscription. There are no bots and russian troll accounts inflating the numbers. Brush up on the business model if you really want to have this talk. I just pulled their 10-Q and I'm looking at the figures which show a 20% increase in Disney+ (not ESPN, Hulu, Verizon bundles) domestic subscribers year over year but I will take your personal guarantee on the matter under the appropriate level of consideration. I could've sworn that rising interest rates were bringing some sanity back to equity markets after a decade long bull run propped up on cheap debt but it was wokeness all along. Great points.

Disney+ subscribers continue to increase. Revenue is up year over year. Now I'm no financial analyst but if audiences were turning away, wouldn't that be reflected in the numbers? Wait, I am an analyst, and it absolutely would!! Ms. Marvel is less popular then Loki (which is the "wokest" of all the Disney shows) is the only thing resembling analysis in that article and its mostly meaningless in describing equity prices. NFLX is down 71%. Even DWAC is down "nearly 50%" YTD. DWAC!!! Hell, the S&P 500 is down 22% YTD. Has all of corporate America gone woke?!?! Using RedState logic, yes it has. What is more likely: has there, in fact, been a sell off in streaming, tech, and media OR did a cartoon, lesbian kiss sink an iconic brand? This is just the latest example of "Get woke, go broke" as a vapid, opportunistic talking point for headline readers who view the world through identity politics. Correlation as causation, catchy headline, no real analysis, fish in a barrel. Its bait for people looking for it. Same with the Gillette narrative where a 5 year trend in a declining business unit was retroactively blamed on a super bowl ad. Same with Nike when the Kaepernick ad boycotts actually turned out to be a 30% uptick in sales. Same as it ever was.

Why do the gays love the dems so much ?

This is it. The Smoking Gun Rudy and Trump were talking about. I demand a full recount in the...Bloomington, Texas water utility board election May 2018! Corrupt media isn't making this national news for some reason.

I think there is virtually nothing he can do that will cost him too many votes. Which is frightening. After watching the Democrats paint Romney (who is by nearly every account a stand-up, decent man) as the anti-christ I felt like they actually deserved 4 years of Don. Its funny how they forgot about that era. Don gave them much needed perspective. Can you even imagine horse ownership or putting a dog kennel on a roof rack registering as a scandal these days?

Kim Pegula is receiving medical care
Jauronimo replied to Buffalo_Stampede's topic in The Stadium Wall
Now picturing Hemet at the Dr.s office with his head turned to one side yelling "COUGH!" with increasing frustration at his incompetent doc. -
We knew Tampa was going to come out motivated on home ice after losing by a touchdown and getting shutout but I don't think anyone expected it to go quite like that. If Tampa evens it up, the collars get a little bit tighter on the Colorado bench.

I was just in Chicago. Stayed in River North area and I'm still digging bullet fragments out of my back. I tripped on so many corpses running for cover. Its amazing that its still the 3rd biggest city in the country and an economic power given that its been reduced to a Kabul like hellscape. I love hearing about how awful all major cities are from people who are referring to Jamestown when they say "I'm going downtown today". Better put my wallet in my front pocket cause these pickpockets in Elmira are no joke!

The derisive use of AAVE was a really nice touch in making your point. Pure class. Got any more impressions?

At least @ the people you are insulting. Gutless. And I have never mentioned Ngo once on PPP. Sorry you and others had so much riding on Julie Kelly as legitimate that you need to make this personal. "Everyone I don't like is a lib!!" is enduring war cry of people who have nothing in particular to offer. But if you want to trade cheap shots, you just might earn my attention yet.
