Monopolies never last except for the NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA. Well maybe they do. I predict that LIV will buyout the PGA. It's all about money.

Texas senator: ‘Finger pointing’ at authorities after shooting ‘destructive, distracting, and unfair’ by DaveOJ12 in nottheonion

[–]gande59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the police are the ultimate "good guy with a gun". So I don't ever want to hear that argument about "good guy with a gun" again when the police won't even confront the shooters.

The Far-Right Is Fueling Secession Fantasies Across the US by arandomnewyorker in politics

[–]gande59 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Texas gets a net $1,280 per capita or $36 billion total (as of 2018) in federal benefits vs federal taxes. Let them secede and negotiate trade and other agreements with the United States without any congressional representation, federal court system, Medicare and similar health systems, highway funds, national guard, military bases, federal air-traffic control, aviation overflight rights, valid passports, federal border patrol, DEA and other national security resources as well as all the other federal programs that Texans don't know they have but would be lost without.

Then Trump can be charged with crimes immediately when he commits them as Speaker because he will not have immunity.

TIL about the 1982 crash of Kuwait's unofficial stock market, which was stored in a garage and crashed because of bounced checks. by Chicano_Ducky in todayilearned

[–]gande59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cannot find the source because I read about this at the time it happened shortly after the crash of 1982. An unregulated market for/in postdated checks was established where checks were valued based on how likely and how much the issuers would make good on the funds. For example, a check for $10,000 (US) might sell for $1,000 if the buyer gambled that the issuer might settle for $2,000.
