Well she may need him or Ivanka later, kind of like how Trump called Ted Cruz’s wife ugly and suggested that his dad killed Kennedy, but hey, things are too close for comfort against Beto and he needed some help. 

Picking Lieberman or another establishment Republican wouldn’t have moved the needle enough to overcome what Bush left behind or how out-gunned he was in fund raising. I get the Palin pick as far as rolling the dice but he certainly didn’t keep her in line. 

In Seattle, Vancouver, Portland and elsewhere, it is mainly money from China and other Asian countries, using real estate to move and invest money outside the country. Not sure how you would change the laws around rental housing or set occupancy requirements to where they can’t be gamed. 

Who are these wealthy people specifically? It seems pretty easy to just typecast people as some faceless group, but the reality isn’t usually so cut and dry. This narrative is disorganized and reads like the equivalent of a temper tantrum. Occupy WallStreet was more organized than this accomplished pretty much…

So what do you do when by all appearances, the majority of voters in the state support this measure? What coalition is it that can be built that is going to change the minds of people who believe that a book from 2000 years ago, tells them that this is the way to go?

The NCAA at their D2 championship just had a trans hurdler win the D2 national title. It will be interesting to see if there is variation or a more uniform approach across these governing organizations. 

Our falling birthrate may be sufficient. Don’t need a pandemic when theres debt.

In the interest of precision, shouldn’t this be about sex rather than gender?

Nothing that happened today is of particular surprise. Mueller said all he could and he has delegated other matters and investigatoin to other offices and states, like NY and the southern district. He has done all he is permitted to do and anything more would taint his report and findings.

I am from Philadelphia and while Lincoln Financial and Citizen’s Bank are more refined, we still have a jail and court in our stadiums. There are those special fans willing to vomit on small children to send a message.

I can’t necessarily disagree there, at least in terms of exposure. People love their time in college and the shared experience they have with other alumni and current undergrads. Nostalgia from your youth is a powerful emotion which is why NCAA Football and Basketball are such powerful entities as farm systems while…

Having worked in the bay area for extended periods of time, going to Warriors and A’s games kind of felt like Philadelphia where it maintains the 70's approach of having the stadium and arena away from the downtown, in an isolated area, off the highway. Then the 49ers might as well be San Jose’s team now.

Until a city makes a move on them to relocate.

You are making a reasonable and rational economic argument between Zion going abroad and getting paid or playing for a Duke and getting the value of exposure.

Where we stand is always dictated by where we sit, but we have seen examples in public schools like we saw in Chicago where the incentives to cheat were there as was the opportunity. The same can certainly be said of plenty of charters as well where they have run amok, aren’t producing tangible results, and are simply…

On the 11M, I think the ballpark there makes sense. On the shoe deal, that could change very quickly depending on how he played at the NBA level and also if he got exposure to a European or Asian market.

I am hopeful that Yang can get into at least two of the debates. There hasn’t been a real conversation in a presidential debate about the current and future impact of technology and auotmation. This is a challenging issue because it requires new solutions and to rethink everything from how we manage social security to…

Castro was also kind of annointed as one of the next candidates and he is so far away at this point

The issue with abortion isn’t a federal one, it is a state by state issue. It is the states where most voters aren’t in favor of abortion that is the issue.

Sure but how big of a difference is it from being the #5 pick to the #1, this is also assuming he wasn’t scouted more closely and didn’t workout for teams which could have changed his stock.
