Yes, ultimately politicians are unfortunately mostly representing the people who vote for them - with added weight towards large donors, primary voters and volunteers - rather than the people who live in their districts. Add in issues like gerrymandering and unequal access to polls and things get skewed even further,…

Would even be better if one them was Giuliani! 

I think it’s a bit more complicated than that. One of my friends refers to Roe getting overturned as a “dog finally caught the car” situation. Like all politicians in our inflexible two party system, Republicans need to cobble together enough different factions to get a smidge ahead of the other candidate. “Pro life”…

The thing is, shelf display plans aren’t based on what is easiest for employees or customers, they’re instead often trying to promote specific products that are either more profitable or where manufacturers have paid for space. There are companies (I used to work for one) that have virtual store shelves you can use…

As a manager, if I had feedback for a new employee I would pull that employee aside and deliver that message one on one. I would then give that employee a reasonable amount of time to improve, provide warnings if he/she did not (always on a one on one basis) and then start an official performance improvement program…

Speaking as a senior-level marketer, the appearance of the CEO is actually something that actually does matter. I’ve worked at more than one company where subtly (or not so subtly) making over and maintaining an unkempt senior executive was part of the team’s responsibility. A schlubby leader reflects poorly on the…

Plus I think there is lingering concern that the cartel might come after her if it looks like she is not playing ball - prosecutors were already on her to get Jimmy to flip. I think she is going to change her name and go out of state, and keeping a bar license doesn’t work with  that. Maybe it will turn out that she’s…

Wasn’t there a flashback during BB where it was basically shown that the other “hermano” in the chicken business was Gus’s lover who was murdered by the cartel? Don Eladio also acknowledges that’s where the hate in Gus’s eyes comes from in this last episode.

This is a false choice, there are many performers that can do both. In Dear Evan Hansen, Ben Platt hits all the notes WHILE CRYING HIMSELF. He also comes from a well-connected Hollywood family (and went to high school with Beanie I believe, they are good friends) but you never hear anyone citing nepotism when he’s…

I saw another recap that surmised the same thing. Part of me was wondering initially if Gus seeing Saul’s powers of persuasion would encourage him to use Saul as a lawyer going forward but your theory makes more sense.

Definitely. Lalo may be a psychopath but he is too smart to believe an amateur would be able to get to Gus. He chose Saul and Kim instead of some randoms because they were easy targets that would be unexpected, but would be unlikely to talk or go to the cops given their own ties to the cartel. 

I wouldn’t say it was dignified at all but at least a kindness to his friends and family to provide some answer and closure (if a false one). Not the easiest thing to do when there is no body. 

I wish there was some way I could magically give you a thousand upvotes. It is beyond frustrating to me that Republicans will overlook everything from disagreement with their basic values (see, evangelicals voting for Trump despite his numerous divorces) up to criminal conduct (too many to count) as long as they are…

This is truly shocking and horrifying news, and it’s incumbent on all of us to DO SOMETHING - namely, doing everything you can to keep the House and Senate flipping this November. It’s the only way to forestall a Republican wave that could very well mean passage of those nationwide bans. That will mean backing some…

Part of why this hasn’t been a big story to date though is that Miller is not as famous as, say, Johnny Depp. If they are headlining a major franchise movie though? HELL YEAH is it getting covered everywhere, just as Ansel Elgort’s assault allegations got widespread coverage when West Side Story went out - and that…

Seriously. If Bowen had said “yeah, they’re nice and all but none of them were that great and Pete was barely on anyway with his mental illness and rehab whatever” he would have been flayed alive. Like, at the going away zooms at my own company I force myself to say something nice even about people I hate, that is…

Is Kim and Gene walking off into the sunset even romantic though??? Jimmy may care about Kim but he’s been nothing but terrible for her, often being dishonest and repeatedly putting her life at risk. (If she never met Jimmy she’d be a successful attorney, maybe a little bored but safe and comfortable.) If she was…

To me awful is she gets murdered by the cartel - which I don’t rule out on this show! 

The Saul we see in BB seems to have no one he cares about in his life. That does not square with having a self-sacrificing wife in the slammer. I do however agree with you that Saul also doesn’t seem to have experienced the death of a great love - but it does seem that there was a fairly final ending of some type.

Tell me about it. I spent most of the pandemic trying to keep a very old cat alive. He had numerous health issues including kidney disease, which made him a VERY fussy eater. I cannot tell you how many times I had to go to multiple stores to find any of the few kinds he would eat. One pet store told me they had a lot…
