By responding to a post about equity market returns over the past 8 years and pointing out that the stock market is not the economy, a point which everyone knows and understands**, you believe that I am now obligated to engage in that silly discussion and provide contradictory evidence about a matter of factual record? Is that your understanding of how conversations work? And you want to be my latex salesman.... **except for when it suits their argument. During the Obama admin the stock market cruised and republicans knew that the stock market was not the economy. How could it be since Democrats are bad at the economy?? Democrats were quick to point out that 401ks were looking pretty good. During the Trump admin, Republicans knew that the stock market was the economy and the market remained hot. Dems were quick to remind us that stock market returns were just the rich getting richer at the expense of the little guy. Wall Street, after all, is not Main Street. Now we are here in the Biden admin and equity markets stayed hot during an unprecedented bull run. Republicans once again remembered that the stock market is not the economy until the opening bell this morning when a 2% blip landed solely on the Biden admin but the previous multi-year run was just markets being markets. Democrats are still pretty sure the stock market is the economy but that is likely to change in November...depending on who wins and which way the wind is blowing. No matter who wins and what side you're on, I can already give you your economic talking points for the next 4 years on a single index card.

The Obama obsession was really strange. Remember all the Hope and Change T-Shirts, bumper stickers, and even posters? Obama was getting teen magazine type treatment from all sorts of fanboys and fangirls. It was a step change in American politics. But the Trump obsession is an order of magnitude bigger and weirder. There is a Trump themed burger restaurant not far from me. Trump NFTs, Trump bibles, Trump collector cards, Trump religious iconography. People are basing their entire personality on being a Trump supporter.

My bad. Thought you were better than "stock market went up = my team better than your team". Sorry for the interruption.

Depends on how its going to be used. Data is great when its used to craft an intellectually honest and consistent argument. In this case, data was used to make the usual slinging of *****, that passes for political commentary in these parts, ostensibly passable. Data wasn't needed.

The Callahan Cheektowaga Homeless Index is a lagging indicator in every sense of the word. "The stock market is not the economy unless its convenient" is the only economic truth on this board.

Its really amazing how Harris was able to completely mismanage the Japanese economy for 20 years in her one month as a presidential candidate.

Needs more caps.

Keep us updated.

The movie is purely a human interest story. The book deals with a decent amount of football history and how left tackle became a money position in the NFL. Lawrence Taylor was knocking QBs out of the game and overnight linemen stopped being viewed as interchangeable cogs. Anyone up to the task of handling premier edge rushers was suddenly among the highest paid players in the league.

What bigger fish do you have to fry, bro? Name 5 bigger fish.

Those are different plays. Milano has been beaten and he has had some good reps. Hes not getting toasted every play.

I know a few people who have used variants of Ozempic and lost a lot of weight pretty quickly. They swear its a miracle. Its not just diet related changes in behavior either. They're finding they don't drink as much. Basically less sensitive to impulsive/addictive behaviors.

Weirdly enough, FinHeaven is happier about this than we are! And I'm happy for them. Not enough years or money in my opinion. That was Tannehill when Clay dropped the winning TD. Dec 2018.

I can't think of any super bowl winning team in the modern era that didn't have defined roles on offense. We should be more worried than usual.

Do you have crazy CC rewards points racked up from the Corporate Amex? I need to learn how to maximize my miles and points before the next big trip.

I don't know how I managed to fly before pre-check, lounge access, and global entry. Even with those perks it can still be a miserable experience.

Every ####### on every flight now thinks "I have a tight connection" is a clever way to force your way to the front of the plane when disembarking. Half the time I see these people in line at Starbucks 5 minutes later.

I recently flew Southwest as A-1. I was maybe the 30th person on the plane after all the wheelchair preboards and their entire extended family and friends. The wheelchair preboard in front of me spent the entire flight pacing up and down the aisle. And of course, zero wheelchairs were needed to deplane.

Hes so smooth in the air. Gets those hands up at the last second and extends. Its a beautiful thing.

Well, well, well. How the turntables have...turned.

And Peterman might get a start this season and go on to have a more successful career than Mahomes. You don't know what the future holds!!! But as of 11:09 PM Central Time, Peterman is a bum, Shanahan, McVay, Reid are the best offensive minds in the game and nothing about Brady's body of work to date suggests he will be considered in the same tier as the guys above. All of those guys got head coaching positions based on their prowess as innovative offense coordinators.

Isn't great is an understatement. The offense actively lost the Jets game with turnovers. Punts and field goals would have won the game. Against the Pats and Jags the offense had managed 10 and 7 points going into the 4th quarter. Thats bad. Winning when the offense is bad is hard to do in the modern NFL.

Unfair media coverage is your basis for supporting Trump? Getting a raw deal in the MSM has not made him any more fit for office. I would similarly encourage you to revisit why you didn't want Trump in 2016 and vote for Brain Worms in 2024. Be your own man!

I don't know why that is harder to comprehend than accepting an option we don't love as our new messiah and the basis of our entire personality.

With the exception of the Eagles OT loss, the offense was largely a no show in all of our losses.
