Re: Trumpflation

Trump's new tariff's are an unmitigated disaster. You worry about inflation? That TV made in China just got 54% more expensive. Your Nike shoes made in Vietnam just got 46% more expensive. That Volkswagen you had your eye on just got 45% more expensive. All those clothes in Wal-Mart from Bangladesh ...

Re: Senator Cory Booker Live

I have mixed feelings about Booker. He's my Senator, and I've always felt he was more of a 'show horse' than a work horse. He's always been big on the 'can't we all just get along?' vibe which is outdated in this age. He's obviously a talented speaker; a decade ago I saw him when he came to our town...

Re: The Scent of Musk (split from Off the Cuff and Whatnot - 2022)

Mass layoff began at HHS yesterday. How did they find out? By scanning their security badge to see if it worked.

Re: The Scent of Musk (split from Off the Cuff and Whatnot - 2022)

Thanks. He can survive for a while since he's not married and he's been good about saving. But. His current company won the contract for CISA at the start of Fiscal 2025, so October 1st, 2024. He'd had the same job at a different contractor previously; the CISA people specifically asked for him to b...

This has now gotten personal. Lefty Jr. got DOGE'd today. His company's government contract with CISA was terminated without explanation. He knew when his government login no longer worked this morning. Hey, who needs Cybersecurity anyway? He had a job he liked, at decent pay, working in a city he l...

Re: This and That - 2025

So today is our anniversary and Lefty Jr got us a Cameo from Keith Hernandez with congratulations. It was peak dippy Keith, in a Union Jack T-shirt looking like he'd just rolled out of bed. It was hilarious.

Re: The Erosion of our Rights - 2025

I fear war with Iran. He's already threatening to bomb them if they don't agree to a nuke deal (you know, like the one he tore up). Iran can be counted on to retaliate, and there's your Reichstag Fire. The Houthi bombing was a warm-up for this. There will be some sort of pretext for cancelling elect...

Re: IGT Game #2 Mets @ Hou Fri 3/28 8:10 PM

Lindor made multitasking look easy during that interview.

Nice Soto laser to make it 3-0.

Megill gets out of a sticky situation pretty nicely to leave it at 3-1.

Having Wayne Randazzo doing play-by-play makes Apple baseball more tolerable.
