This is a simplistic response to a complex issue, and has zero connection to what I said.

Politics and world news
I am really just saying I am not worried about taxes going up for the wealthy. They will be fine. They don't need me to worry about political candidates making their lives more difficult. As you said, even Sanders would be limited in his actual capacity to limit the growing inequity of wealth in this country. Also, it is fairly personal that I can't afford a single family home on a two-teacher income. Those housing prices are driven by the disparity of wealth in the Silicon Valley.

I don't have any sympathy for the 1%, so I'm not sure what the concern is. Their wealth has seen massive spikes in recent years while the middle class struggles to keep up with basic COLA.

Hah, I was going to say the Buttigieg numbers were more suspect than the Soleimani numbers.

I'd imagine it will function much like analytics in baseball.

Messiah looks pretty preachy to me, so I'll probably pass. Plus I can't think of a possible ending to that scenario that isn't a blatant political statement.

I mean, it's not really true. They will treat you and then bankrupt you. Which is better, I guess?

Agree with Volo on this. Play as long as you've still got the fire and can still get a job. Ricky Henderson played in the minors at the end and I loved his passion for the game.

Well the RV marketplace is apparently a hotbed, because I've been bombarded by people looking to buy it. This going faster than I expected.

I feel like Winston deserves a chance to challenge Favre for the most interceptions ever. He can get there by the end of the decade if he keeps it up.

I'm pretty sure driving our RV across the country is better for the environment than flying, but I'm no expert. But my wife would definitely agree on the pitfalls of my emotional relationship to the thing. It's my baby, and it sasses less than my kids. Anyways, Facebook Marketplace is a crazy thing, I've got 4 different people already asking on it.

I am listing our RV for sale. We have travelled the country in it for the last 12 years as a family. It is a bit emotional.

Y U lie? Roofles Beimg critical of our foreign affairs has nothing to do with love of country. Recognizing the hypocrisy of calling a Iranian General evil for killing Americans when the US kills people all over the world is not unpatriotic.

2019 In Games (and Screenshots): a (random) end of year review
RDR2 was close to the top for me last year, when I played it on the PS4. It's fantastic.

Well, everyone seems pretty content calling the US the good guys and Iran the bad guys, even though the US is the one in a foreign country after forcibly removing their government. So people believe nonsense all the time.

I've found that Origin runs better than Steam and Epic. But I probably only launch a few times a year, so take that for what it is worth. But still, pretty unobtrusive comparatively.

What you did Today: The Story of you
I'd say that is going to depend quite a bit on the job you are offering. Why is a Yale graduate going for a job that a lesser degree will qualify for? (Although I don't know much about Boca, it seems to be a University with fairly high standards.) I always question the people who come in to public education with ivy league degrees. I find they are either putting in their quick 3 years so they can move onto administration, or they are just not really sure what they want to do. Contrast that to a few of the ladies I have worked with who worked their way through state schools while raising young kids, and there is really no question who I'd rather hire. One is using the job as a stepping stone to something else, and one is committed to a career in the classroom. Og course, the former needs to justify the expense of that Yale university education.

What you did Today: The Story of you
As I say tirelessly, education is much more about skill development than content. You've shown an employer you are capable of showing up and completing work when you show them a degree. You've learned to follow through on a long-term goal.
