Social distancing makes news broadcasting even worse than it already is. The tiny delays from studio to studio is mind numbing during discussions. Not fluid at all.

Going to be a lot of people in rural Kentucky feeling like they're millionaires getting more from the government for 4 months than they were making working.

But what about the people that only make $5-600 a week? They’ll get almost a grand a week.
Guess who’s eventually going to pay for that?

800 - taxes - health insurance.

We're all going to pay for it.

Look, I'm anti big government, taxes and regulation as anyone but what the hell do we pay taxes for other than taking care of us when we really need it? Time for them to do that.

6. I said, “Joe, why is the case officer—on the case in which YOU are a suspect—calling you to tell you a reporter is asking questions about you?”

Joe said, “Well, he’s also my limo driver.”

(Which was true.)

Anyway, this is where Brion Gordon ended up: https://t.co/bjnX7UpGJW

At least the expanded sick leave and medical are going to be paid right out of our Social Security, if we're being technical.

I think it's different - pay for those who lost their job and need a bridge while society is trying to regain her feet in the midst of a worldwide pandemic: Yes, 100% without question.

Pay to renovate the Kennedy Center: F No*.

This is the time to install a national safety net, when **** hits the fan. That's why the trillion dollar credit card bill is infuriating in times of normalcy; makes using the Red, White & Blue Amex that much more challenging when you really need it.


*I've been to the center twice, place is pristine. No clue why it needs a single dollar pumped in to it when compared to putting food on ones plate.

-One of the more surprising developments to emerge from this crisis is that my elderly dad somehow figured out how to join a Zoom call last night. That's a 16-seed-over-a-1-seed level of upset right there.

-I miss the UKIT. Bring it back. You already do it, essentially, by playing scrub teams a few weeks earlier in the Keightley Classic or whatever it's called now. So just move it around. Two consecutive nights, the weekend before Christmas. The Wildcat in a Santa hat. Even let the other two scrubs play a consolation game. I don't know, man, I'm just nostalgic for stuff right now.

-The first national title game I clearly remember watching live was the 1983 Houston-NCSU game. Watched it back last night. The spacing and passing was immaculate. Very few ball screens. Had forgotten how much of a monster Thurl Bailey was in the first half. Even with the spacing/passing, the offenses were so patient, and the shooting so average, that the scoring was at a premium. Houston was just filled with jumping jacks at every position, flat owning the glass in the 2nd half.

But the most noticeable difference was how good it was to have actual coaches with personality on the sidelines. Valvano being Valvano, and that old curmudgeon Guy Lewis hauling that towel everywhere as he barked at the refs. Miss having memorable coaches on the sidelines instead of the mostly corporate-looking stiffs we have now.

-Sorry for what I said yesterday about you getting pumped, Anth.

I run a budget surplus in my own household, so I’m not sure why DC can’t manage to do the same. I know it’s not very GYEROMAN to admit, but my budget is less that $5 trillion per year, too.

Your corona virus testing percentages are through the roof too. PTI-nation is truly a shining example for the rest of the world.

Bitching about corporate tax cuts :rolleyes:. Tax revenues are at an all time high. Let's try to get the budget under control.

Also re corporate taxes - keep in mind that pension plans around the country invest in the stock market. We tax corporations to death and we will end up having to bail out all those pensions which is probably triple the current stimulus package.

I'll ***** about Corporate Tax cuts if it means them groveling at our feet every time something remotely bad happens then turns around and juices their stock with some bastardized inverse version of socialism that eventually results in the deficits we see today. The only difference is that this is only a problem when the President is a dem. Remember the backlash over the stimulus package of 827 Billion just over a decade ago? We're just making **** up now.

Also, while tax revenue is higher than ever, it's also made up of more income and payroll taxes by in large. So, we're about to bail out a bunch of industries that Fly corporate flags in other countries to further avoid taxation and have multiple states that have eviscerated their budgets (NC did this with Chiquita a few years back) through corporate tax cuts just to have the company walk as soon as they were up. If corporations truly are people, they can fail too sometimes.

I've got no problem with the govt taking a stake in a company that takes bail out money.

Also have no problem letting companies fail.

However......the more that fail the more likely that retirement funds and pensions will be ruined.
