You seem to think that people have an equal opportunity to make money; they don’t. Often, there is only one or two options for a job in your current field anywhere within distance of where you live. Don’t like the pay? Then you don’t have a job, period. That’s what drives wages down: The fact workers don’t have any…

I disagree entirely. In a time where worker wages are stagnating, healthcare costs are rising, and corporate profits & employer pay is skyrocketing, I’d argue Unions are more needed then ever. Granted, UAW upper management is corrupt to the core and needs to be dumped, but that is itself not an argument against unions.

To be fair, I (and many others) have concerns about Jackson as a passer so far as consistency is concerned.  I also don’t think he’ll hold up in the NFL if he keeps being a runner first and foremost.  Sure, he’ll have a ton of highlight plays, but I’m more worried about his inconsistencies and health.

1st/2nd Gear:

How many “normal” people outside the West Coast could pick Mick Trout out of a lineup?

Pre-Injury Pennington was better then Carr. Unfortunately, we only had that for, what, one season?

Slower is better.  Now if we could just get rid of killstreaks...

Agreed. Of all the possible VP candidates, Castro brings the most upside while also offering some damn useful perspectives.

I remember that game!  It wasn’t very good...

Which isn’t shocking. Anyone who’s been following this knows that many companies have been moving throughout SE Asia as Chinese labor costs rose; all the tariffs are doing is accelerating that trend.

The problem is cost versus demand. Developed countries have higher costs, so if your manufacturing is largely unskilled, they are replaceable by automation (which imo is a much greater long-term threat) or by outsourcing to countries with lower labor costs. For most of these types of labor, even a 30% tariff on…

Not really; *exports* to China have fallen, but Chinese companies sales are actually rising. This is *exactly* what happened to US manufacturers when they used tariffs to try and stop the Japanese carmakers in the 70's, and the end result was the US lose the European market. The same thing is likely to happen here.

No, but the outcome was predictable. The US has *zero* leverage here; the US isn’t a growth market, and it’s cheaper for US based companies to eat any US based tariffs in order to protect sales in China. Trying to get China to change its practices based sorely on tariffs was doomed for failure.

That’s pretty much Trumps MO: If there is something he doesn’t like, put pain on the opponent to try and force them back to the table.

Especially given that Trubisky’s college career wasn’t even good; one “ok” season after failing to win the job his first three years.

I prefer Warren over Sanders, but some of her policies are simply wrong (specifically, the Federal Govenment being the *only* healthcare provider).

Yes, this is the correct reasoning. A random Odd lead has a worst-case lead of only 1 run, where a random Even lead has a worst-cast lead of 2 runs, so a random Even lead is slightly mathematically superior to a random Odd lead.

Better then being imaginary I suppose.

Speaking as a Jets fan, here’s some more information:

Yeah, I’ve almost certainly got the same disorder. It’s not even “disliking” food, it’s the inability to keep any of it down. I’m fairly certain its more a psychological problem rather then a biological one; I partly blame my parents for making me eat food I disliked as a child, leading me to simply not eat anything I…
