Do we even produce enough products to "balance" trade with the world?

Do I need to open an Etsy shop that we will make Benin buy stuff from?
I’ve got some bad news for you about where you get many if not most of your tools and raw materials from. The first round of products will be ok, but when it comes time to replenish inventory or replace tools you’re gonna have issues.

Speed doesn't seem to have been the problem with our D-backs. Too many blown assignments, miscommunications and falling dow seems more a problem. Whenever I see posters in game threads claiming "we're so slow", I tend to dismiss it. Rightly so, it appears.
It scares me that our secondary could be that bad, while at the same time having that much speed.

How effective is the current flu vaccine always mad at everything Stupid Fitz?

(not a rhetorical question)

pretty great for me and my kiddos.  They have superior genetics though so we may be a bad control group
Effective for me and my family. My son sat beside his best friend at the movies, and his friend threw up and had flu later that night. He had basketball practice with two boys that got the flu the next morning after practice. He finally got flu A when the kids on both sides of him in school got it. Most of them were out of school/practice for 3 or 4 days, but my son had a low grade fever for a day and a half and never felt bad. Nobody else in our house caught it. It is everywhere in DFW. My son’s pediatrician told him the kids who arent vaccinated are getting it much worse.

Above post by someone who supports a movement that keeps reelecting guys who had pillow talk with Chinese spies and other dudes who keep claiming they have evidence of high crimes yet never manage to show us any of it.

#blueanon parrots everything they say without question.

One was distrubuting massive levels of misinformation earlier today.

Do you question that billions upon billions of mRNA vaccines have been administered around the globe, and had very little side effects? Do you question that the millions of deaths and tens of millions of hospitalizations plummeted after the covid vaccines came out? Yes, part of that was the strong survived the first round, but many, many people were quarantining, masking, social distancing, etc. and had never caught the disease prior to early 2021 when the vax came out. Why did they not suffer the same fate? Probably just a huge coincidence that vaccinated people didnt get near as sick and die from covid.

The amount of people over history who literally died in vain wishing they had what we have and we just piss it away is insane to me.
Soon people will demand the right to poop in the drinking water supply. Won't be surprised if Roger Marshall advocates irrigating our Great Kansas Corn with All Sport sports drink soon.
Bill HB371 to ban mRNA vaccines passes out of House committee and on its way to the House floor.

These guys are going to kill so many people. Well over 10 BILLION mRNA vaccines administered throughout the world, including 81% of Americans that received covid vax.

For the party that wants minimal government, they sure as heck like to tell everybody how to live.

all the kids in the hospital can now do an Aaron Rogers and say they are "immunized" for measles without having to deal with that fuckin' vaccine.

Biggest blown lead in KU bb history

Enjoying a little vino and reading how much they hate Self now on the Phog.  Is this loser-ish? Sure but it's delightful.
Just ventured over there for a bit.  My god, they really do hate him now.

Yeah I did this as well, they turned a lot.

Will be excited when they run him out of town and do their slide hire into even less of a position then they are.
The real question is will they be able to reinvent themselves and find a new way to cheat now that the playing field has been evened with NIL.

Kiss the housing market goodbye, which is equivalent to the US economy. Over a30% of our wood comes from canada and probably a good percentage of the labor force to build, repair and landscape homes comes from mexico. I feel really bad for all those LA fire and fall hurricane/flood victims. All of this is so GD frustrating. 

Trump will spin some BS about how Biden’s market was already on the downslope and he saved it from being worse. Then his dumbfuck cult will eat it up hook, line and sinker. His fellow party members parrot his message, selling their souls and our country for more votes. FML

When you say kill the housing market you mean kill home builders right?
I thought that last time there was a lumber shortage it impacted all housing cause fewer new builds meant less overall supply and higher prices on everything.

So less supply of new housing will mean increase demand for existing housing. It's not going to make existing home prices go down, it's going to make them go up. It will definitely put a wet blanket on construction industry though.
Not an expert in this area at all, but my expectation would be that the decreased supply would also result in fewer purchases, especially from current renters, not just a tidy price increase that’s passed on to the consumer.
I’m no expert either but my thinking is higher prices wont do anything but raise property taxes when nobody is buying or selling. Entry level houses will be too expensive for first time buyers, and existing buyers wont want to leave their low-rate mortgages to purchase drastically higher priced upgrade homes.

That would lead me to think people will be more likely to repair/remodel their existing homes, except everything at home depot and lowes will be more expensive, and it will be more difficult to find labor to do the jobs.

Another big difference from 2020 (when we had low supply of houses and raw materials, as well as tariffs) is interest rates were 2.5%, not 6.5%. Many were refinancing and taking cash out for remodeling/repairs. Additionally, many were using stimulus checks to fix up houses since that's the only place they could go for months and months. Also, more people were willing to upgrade to nicer homes because rates were historically low.

All that said, who knows what will happen now that many companies are mandating a return to offices. That may open up some supply in the burbs and small towns again? I hope I'm just doom spiraling and all will work itself out (fingers crossed).

Thanks. I’ll definitely be looking into a broker. It’s partly my fault. We’ve been with Allstate for 7 years, and before that State Farm for probably 15. I agree the only way to get a decent price is to change. Thats what I do with electric and telecom companies.

16
True story. I called Allstate today for a quote to see what it would cost to add a 2025 GMC Sierra to my policy. They let me know it would be an additional $3500 per year.

Thats on top of the $4000 I already pay for a 4 year old Ford Expedition and an 11 year old Honda SUV. Neither my wife nor I have had a ticket or an accident in 20 years. We also both have 835+ FICO scores.

Home and auto insurance in Texas has become insane. Anybody in DFW have a much better solution?

Does your HOA write you up if you leave the 3 year old entry level sedan in the driveway for longer than an hour?
They assume it’s the maids.

PEGGY PO:  we have an aging population and are expected to have fewer participants in the workforce then what we need at some point in the future.  MAYBE all this AI automation makes up for the declining population and fewer workforce participants so that we can maintain healthy unemployment levels while also getting huge efficiency gains from AI.
Narrator: That was not, in fact, how corporations took advantage of automation driven efficiencies.

Fair enough about Colorado not leading until the end. I just never felt like we were ever the better team in the other 3 games.

Sorry for not communicating clearly. I also agree we could make the title game, and that it’s well within reach. I just disagree that we should expect nothing less the next two years. We have much work to do.

Our secondary was bad, we have no pass rush, and our offensive line will be new. It would be nice if our QB could be more accurate as well. That is a lot to get right. But I also think the Big 12 is wide open, and I trust our coaching and development.

Squandering Avery and Dylan would definitely be a shame. But our defense is currently slow and unathletic as hell. Our portal ranking is currently one of the worst in the big 12. This whole thing is very disappointing.

I don’t see how not making it to Arlington in 2025, and again in 2026 — barring Avery Johnson getting injured or going pro or something — wouldn’t be considered a disappointment.

Why are you acting like we have that much more talent and depth than everyone else in this conference? I very obviously love Avery and I'd take him before I'd take anyone else, but both of the quarterbacks and possibly both starting running backs from this year's conference championship game are returning. In these days of mega conferences teams could very easily go 10-2 and not make their conference championship game. You think we should expect to go 11-1 or 12-0 the next two seasons? Ohio State didn't even make their conference championship game.
Man, are you guys gE'ing? If not, I think some people are getting really swayed by a win against an average Rutgers team. We were damn lucky to get to 9 wins. Did you guys not see the same secondary, front four pass rush, or special teams that I did? We have a LOT of work to do.

How about that we have to replace most of our offensive line, WRs, secondary, kicker and both DE next season?

People just assuming we would have won had we played any of the other three B12 teams ranked ahead of us (Baylor, TCU, Tech). And forgot we got our asses kicked by three we did play (ASU, BYU, ISU). Our only good win came against Colorado with Travis Hunter leaving midway through the second quarter. It still took a last minute 50 yard bomb, and a lucky no-call on an obvious PI on a 4th and 5 (with two holds against WRs). https://youtu.be/RCMyBMYwO1Y?si=RJ0mAdiEN6PN9o2U&t=1013.

5 of our 6 conference wins (counting Arizona), came against the teams ranked 9-16.

The world needs this color palette to come back into fashion.




Yes, I’m watching home alone.

This color palette looks exactly like the rugby shirt that I got as a gift yesterday.  That's right I said rugby shirt. In the year 2024 and not 1994.  I have several questions about rugby shirts, a couple of which I can answer and hopefully this board can take care of the rest.

Who is still making rugby shirts?  The Gap, apparently
Who is still buying rugby shirts?  My mom
Are rugby shirts a thing again? 
If they are a thing should I, as an oldster, attempt to wear it?
Not sure, but I've been seeing Starter Jackets again (swoon)

It doesn't matter what the primary cause is; it's been determined that as a whole, Americans have no interest in changing anything.
True. But the country may look drastically different in the next 10-15 years as the boomers (voters and elected officials) begin to pass away in droves. But saying that, the election suggests the more things change the more they may stay the same.
