What would take you 1 minute to get at an ACE Hardware can take 45 at Home Depot.


The ACE by my house is open 8-5 M-F and 9-3 on Sat. Closed Sunday.

That doesn’t work for many people.

Went to Home Depot and there was dozens of cans paint on the shelf.


Went to HD yesterday, used self checkout, no issue.

Went to same HD today, had cashiers “assisting” at self checkout, told by employee they were told today to not let people checkout by themselves.

Meanwhile, all the actual normal checkout lanes were closed.
I consulted for a guy who was selling four hallmark stores that his family owned over like 70 years.

Why was he selling? Lost money for last several years and he was ready to retire. Everyone buying cards at dollar tree or online.

He sold them to a company that owned dozens of hallmark stores. Said margins are low but a few consolidators are able to negotiate cheaper prices and pass it along to customers.

Or he wasn’t ready and pushing him early hurts his development

I really think he benefited by watching a few games on the sideline.
I wish they would go to two levels

incidental - 15 yds

Flagrant - spot foul
8-9 wins and competitive

Portal shortens time from 3-4 years to 1-2 years

Playoffs 2027

Accused of issues

I believe it went nowhere
Frank is a good man

He’s not a good head coach

That’s ok.

Was it the chick referee that made the call?


Should not be

That call comes from the line

Or side judge. Not CJ
They huddled up and still made that bad of a call.

I'm not joking. We have zero (0) HR department, never have.


So everything is outsourced, and/or senior management are doing those tasks which is wasteful

I guess you also like to drop the soap
Went to the vigil this evening

Had a visiting priest. He skipped the genealogy. Then dropped a 27 min long homily that was quite good, all about Jesus being the light in a dark world.

Mass lasted a buck 24 which is pretty long.

Merry Christmas!

I think in most cases these subsidies make sense,


Most people do not understand these deals.

The state will never collect in taxes what they paid in. But they don’t have to. Government does not exist to make a profit.

What will happen is a lot of citizens and companies will make a lot of money off of the economic impacts created. That tends to result in politicians getting campaign contributions and getting reelected.

Government should create an atmosphere that allowes businesses to make money. That’s what is happening here.
I ordered a last minute stocking stuffer on Sunday. Supposed to arrive Monday. Tracking says delayed in transit and carrier delay. It might be stuck with usps.

And the price of college would free fall


Nope

Plenty of colleges would shut down.

Those that remain would charge high tuition and only the wealthy would attend.
