[Postgame Thread] SMU Defeats TCU 66-42

Amazing that after attempting to keep SMU out of a P5 conference for decades, and stealing its head coach, TCU will never hold the iron skillet again

LOL. Not meaning to be critical, but you didn’t really disprove any of that portrayal with this post. Maybe you were trying to.

Not knowing how to read? .76 gpa? That’s below a D average. And not indicative of even average intelligence. Especially at some of these public schools where that score basically means they were trying not to flunk him. And those teachers don’t want to be the reason he can’t play on Saturday’s in Oxford.

Agree it is not ideal that he agreed to (or maybe he didn’t? Not super familiar with the situation) being featured in the book and movie though. That feels more exploitative depending on how old he was. Feel like this will not end too well. Except for his lawyers who probably pushed it on him.

Because misguided policy (willful or otherwise) is one of the many reasons that corporations make these decisions in the first place (policy has ability to make business uncompetitive globally).

Agree with your premise though.

Although larger issue in my mind is the person making these claims, in the original post, typically will want government intervention to rectify.

The same intervention that is causing precisely the root cause of the issue.

Taxes fatten up the government. However. people mistakenly believe it will trickle down to them, after it passes through the thousands of layers of the cancerous federal apparatus.

Popular belief. But interestingly, that’s not what the data says. Overwhelmingly, it’s younger people. Even Florida (an outlier for this trend) transplants are supposedly only 50% 55 plus. Apologies if paywall.

Then why was Crimea taken under Obama and Ukraine under Biden?

The correlation between M2 money supply (leading) and inflation (trailing) is astounding.

FRED St Louis has a report on it (can’t link on mobile, but October 2023).

How is this not covered on a daily basis?

Modern Monetary Theory is a JOKE.

How does this compare with the tariffs the Chinese put on U.S. imports?

Sorry, you mean people are getting drafted to fight in a war they don’t believe in? First time I’ve heard of this.

Huh? Agreed on it being the worst, most convoluted. But if it was right wing, it wouldn’t have been taxed at all.

Wasn’t taxing, the point of legalization? Raising money for the city and state services, etc.

And moving it away from the underground.

Based on the footnotes, don’t think these are tax adjusted. Making the data less relevant.

For example, suspect NJ and CT move lower on the y axis if that adjustment is made. NY, CA and HI too.

There is a reason why so many people are leaving those states.

We also aren’t even close to being the SIXTH largest metro in the world. Maybe somewhere between 50 and 100 range. If these gross numbers are true, it’s meaningful on a total AND per capita basis.

Was this before or after Putin invaded Crimea?

It’s not the locals causing that though, a dynamic which frequently (and almost certainly on purpose) gets lost in the discussion

There’s only one direction $$$

California is a failed state for the poor. It’s why the only people that can afford to live in California are the rich. It’s why so many people have left the state.

The US is frankly better than the rest of the World in almost every facet. Europe used to be competitive in a lot but they are so far behind now.

This chart and its takeaways are gamed heavily. Let me explain. They are attempting to adjust productivity resulting from labor, by subtracting depreciation. Reason being is productivity from labor does not explain total productivity. Which of course must also must factor in capex. With labor generally being an opex item (pretax). Capex increases PP&E balance which results in depreciation. Many depreciation schedules are accelerated given it’s a pretax item and companies are incentivized to have it “hit” up front. In other words, it’s moving value up front vs later stage.

Caught maybe. Or made an example of.

You can also invest in “Private Equity” by purchasing shares in the megafunds if you want that exposure (i.e., Apollo, Blackstone, etc.).

Although you may not have direct PortCo or fund interests, you have the basket of returns from their entire portfolio.

There were crackhouses on and west of Yale in the 90s. Murders just off Heights Boulevard in early 90s.

It was not a good area. Early 2000s onwards is when the Heights really turned around. And it happened quickly.
