Backup QB controversy getting started early in Auburn. The Oregon St transfer guy looked much better than Golesh's boy from USF.

I’d argue that usually the QB narratives like that get rolling because one guy played against a developmental defense and another guy was taking snaps against the first team game ready defense and ended up scuffling as they put new stuff from the playbook in and so the fans who weren’t there and usually don’t know their arse from their elbow anyway just see the stats and create a narrative around them without context.

That said if you have someone better than Brown you should be feeling pretty damn good because he was at least on paper the best transfer QB relative to your system you could’ve brought in.

I’m not arguing he’s Jayden Daniels, but he could make your offense run instantly instead of being a two year transitional adventure.

I mean who hasn’t made an honest $30M mistake on their financial filings?

Could’ve been me or you.

Does your company historically hire primarily from the Ivy and near Ivys?

If not this stuff doesn’t apply to whatever your business is.

No one should want spirit to shutdown or else all those heathens will end up on more reputable airlines to bother the rest of us.

To that end, when NATO was formed, Europes demographics and even politics was much more closely aligned with the US. While we have drifted left, they’ve cascaded left and allowed unchecked Muslim migration. We no longer share any commonality. We need to leave NATO.

An alliance is predicated on two or more groups being aligned on what they want to achieve politically or defend against.

We don’t want to defend against the same things.

We don’t believe the same things.

We don’t want the same things.

What’s good for them isn’t good for us.

In fact we are in reality geopolitical adversaries so long as we’re nationalist/populist and they’re globalist open borders.

There is absolutely no benefit to Trump aligned America participating in NATO unless it’s a predicate for maintaining reserve currency status.

No wonder Trump has gone so far off the rails. He's being led by imbeciles.

If they were just imbeciles we’d be better off.

These are heretical scam artists manipulating a President who is susceptible to praise.

You don’t really think a totalitarian theocracy is going to exit stage right without losing a war on the ground do you?

I think the realistic outcomes for a negotiated peace are more like “we won’t pursue nukes and will leave the shipping lanes alone.”

Not with mass migration and open borders.

Not with our current population levels.

Not without all the power transferring to the tech giants and government.

t is such a rip off. UF is 6k a year for undergrad, and I think that is too high. Some of these schools are 10 times that.

---

I have multiple degrees including one that cost $65k/year from a top ten school and outside of the strategic/generalized aspects of what was taught nearly everything has been made irrelevant by tech changes within 15 years.

So I spent $130k for a degree that’s 60% worthless outside of as a generalized “he graduated” certificate where the 60% I could’ve learned on my own online for basically nothing and been conveyed in a fraction of the time and effort it was in the first place.

We should be rebuilding our educational systems from the ground up to remove useless admins, create reeducation and retraining opportunities as AI and evolving needs make old degrees obsolete and to minimize tuition costs so grads aren’t paying off student loans instead of buying houses, starting families and investing.

Our current system is a disservice to everyone involved outside of the bloating and arrogant politicized administrators and teachers who profit at our collective expenses.
