I realize this ship has long since sailed, but an employment contract between an employer and its workers is a private contract that the government should stay out of. There has been enough government distortion of labor marketsd already!! Obviously, the worker who accepts such a contract voluntar...

Find one aged in a port barrel or something that adds a natural bit of sweetness. High West has a very high end one (Midwinter Night's Dram) that I quite enjoy, but that is not an every day drinker at that price....

For all the problems with the DBs, this game was lost by the front seven and their complete inability to contain Milroe. I thought the secondary actually played OK given the circumstances with all the true freshmen out there....

Israel is on the verge of normalizing relations with Saudi Arabia. That would be a game changer. Palestinians are less liked in the Muslim world than you might think. Normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia would be a disaster for the Palestinians. This is a transparent attempt by Hama...

Lack of talent on defense, especially the secondary. Other than Wingo and Smith when he returns, the talent on defense is well below the LSU norm. The way they used Perkins is a crime. Guy is a disrupter, and rather than using him that way, they had him shadowing Travis all night, which mostly me...

Interesting history here, going back to WWII wage and price controls. In WWII,Roosevelt instituted wage and price controls "for the war effort." Given that a large number of men left the workforce to go to the military, there was intense competition among employers to attract workers. Since they ...

You don't even want to know what it is costing me to send my Lange back to Germany for service. It sounds to me like your watch is doing ok. Up to you whether you want to get it serviced, but I think the service interval for most high end watches is at least 7-10 years. If the watch has been sitt...

Thinking about the Biden documents scandal, I wonder if the existence and timing of the announcement is a calculated effort by the Dems to sideline Biden for 2024. If there is enough of a media stink about it, that may put pressure on Biden to not seek re-election, which I'm convinced is the prefer...
