3 pointsMost efficient way to get rid of illegals would be to absolutely hammer businesses and individuals that hire them - jail time, permanently revoking business licenses etc. But that would inconvenience business owners and the agricultural industry, so let’s focus on legal Haitians and their puppy barbecues instead.

3 pointsInflation began in the middle of 2021 and was pretty worldwide. Some of that was supply chain issues. Some of those supply side issues were exacerbated by higher demand due to the US having more cash flowing through the system (which the argument was it would prevent deflation which would be tougher to combat than inflation). Then we had some world issues like Russia and Ukraine which cause some more issues with stuff like gas, oil, and overall energy prices. The two biggest drivers of this inflation spike were food and energy- both relatively volatile industries. The commonly held idea is that inflation peaked in 2022 and has slowly- albeit it too slowly- drifted down. In addition to some of this- a study found that gasoline retail price margins increased by 62% from February 2020 to May 2023. Also, a Kroger pricing executive put into an email that with milk and eggs that retail inflation was significantly higher than cost inflation.

3 pointsThat's typical of Amari. He's a bit streaky. He'll have 3 games in a row where his stat line is something like... 3 catches, 35 yds, 5 catches, 43 yds, 3 catches, 29 yds. Then the 4th game will be something like 9 catches, 175 yd, 2TDs

3 pointsI'm a capitalist pig, but I'm also a realist. For every true visionary like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, (I assume these are the type of people you were referring to) there's 100 worthless a holes that have an Ivy League business degree collecting huge pay for doing nothing. Bob Iger, who is now in his 2nd stint as Disney CEO is a good example. Warren Buffett is another. He's a great investor, but once you get into the position he's in, you can cut deals that aren't available to anyone else. Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is now H.J. Heinz Co’s majority shareholder, as Berkshire purchased another 5.4% of outstanding common stock for a 52.5% overall stake. Berkshire exercised a warrant to pay about a penny a share, receiving 46.2 million shares for $462,000. That warrant was a part of Berkshire’s $23 billion acquisition of Heinz in conjunction with Brazilian private equity firm 3G Capital in 2013. Pretty hard to look bad, when you can buy that many shares for about a penny. If that wasn't bad enough, it's not unusual for CEOs who are supposed to be genius, but not only didn't deliver, drove the company into the ground, get huge golden parachutes. Robert Stevenson drove AT&T into the ground. Here's his punishment. This massive sum of money, according to MarketWatch, would provide 60-year-old Stephenson with “a guaranteed income of $274,000 a month for the rest of his days.” This is on top of his total last three years of an average $30 million compensation. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2020/05/12/atts-ceo-steps-down-with-a-64-million-gold-plated-retirement-plan/ Carla Fiorina is another. Jack Welch from GE is another.

2 pointsDamn dude, give me some time. I'm not here all day every day. You won't agree with the answer, and you already know it. Trump was 100% responsible for what happened on J6. He knew what the militia types were there to do, his buddies like Roger Stone coordinated it. He refused to call in NG to stop it. He would have been fine with Mike Pence being hurt or killed that day. Don't bother trying to argue this point, I've heard all the excuses and they don't hold water.

2 pointsQuoting someone's words about me without directly addressing me is avoiding confrontation which would fit under the definition of being passive aggressive. Maybe you'd have preferred I call you a pvssy? HTH

2 pointsYour wife could get raped and your daughter killed and you wouldn't do anything about it. You'd be like meh, two wrongs don't make a right. I don't think I could dream up anything less manly than that. You and Tim cowering in a corner hugging each other.

2 pointsOdd that Trump/Vance would bring the cat/dog thing up in the first place if that’s not what they want voters to focus on. Weird even.

1 pointOK. Can you discuss in detail the “significant impact” you speak of here? Putting aside the pet myth, how have the people already living there been negatively affected? My assumption is that they haven’t been negatively affected, and that this whole supposed issue is rooted in fear, xenophobia, and racism. But feel free to prove me wrong.

1 pointColor me shocked that the Fed lowered interest rates with the election looming, despite inflation being about 50% higher than they target for such reductions.
