"That said, this week's episode shows the Republican Party could be drifting toward a new norm of refusing to concede even in landslides."

Isn't this the story here, not the candidates resumes?

I expect more of this to come.

From the Forbes article you posted:

"According to a report from the American Society Of Civil Engineers, the U.S. economy is expected to lose just under $4 trillion in GDP between 2016 and 2025 if investment gaps are not addressed. This could hit $14 trillion by 2040 if the nation's aging roads, railways and bridges are left to decay even further."

What's 'far left' about fixing your house?

>>I remember talking to a parent whose child after an knee injury in high school became addicted to the hillbilly heroin and then when they couldn't get enough of a high moved onto regular narcotics

I had jury duty about 7 years ago.
Unlike everyone else's story where they showed and went home, I was the first one called into the box. Anyway, after the jury selection process was over, we broke for lunch. The judge was a talkative type and was with us for a while during lunch. This topic came up because the case we were there for involved a drug crime.

But he said that the pattern he witnessed sitting on the bench was exactly what you describe: so many people start off either with a prescription of their own for pain or taking someone else's prescription. They get hooked, and start having difficulties getting more. Then they find out heroin is much more economical. So they move to that. And the downward spiral begins. He said most of the burglary/theft he saw was directly related to addicts looking to steal for some cash for the next hit.

This particular ruling, that the bankruptcy court didn't have the authority to shield the family has to be pretty concerning for the family. It sounds like it could open them up to massive amounts of litigation.

"The Sacklers had insisted on the legal shields, known as nondebtor releases because they protect parties that have not filed for bankruptcy themselves, in exchange for contributing $4.5 billion toward resolving widespread opioid litigation.

The Sacklers threatened to walk away from the settlement absent the guaranteed legal protections."

I remember when the original settlement was announced there was a lot of talk about how the family demanded this legal protection.

Got mine on Monday. The tail i've grown since then keeps projecting the voice of Bill Gates into my mind. It's weird, but i'll live with it.

>>I didn't know when I bought it used.

A lot of cars now will respond to a combination on the remote starter by rolling all your windows down (press twice and hold the second time).

Concerning if you did it without knowing.

You can be furthering someone else's goals without realizing or agreeing to it.

Also, he could be lying.

(btw, interview with Jay Cutler? wtf?)

Are hashtags going to take over the role that religion once owned?

Really good question for our times.

After seeing the videos of those ferocious men pointing their cellphones everywhere like rubes seeing NYC for the first time, there must be a lot of records to turn over. But what about the people whose service provider is Sprint?

Goatman, that was cool how you described them as tourists without using the word tourist.

Can you be on my team for holiday word-game night?

They Don't Report, So You Don't Have To Decide!

Happiness is an attitude, a state of mind.

Lots of unhappy people with 'good' jobs, big houses, 2.2 kids etc.

Losing your best friend over and over is just about the worst.
I guess we decide not trying again is the worst.

They were about to act like normal human beings.

Then they realized that they weren't looking hard enough at every opportunity to demonize a journalist.

Moral Decay.

If someone didn't tell you who it was would you even know?

Absolutely.

Also, did you know the character Forrest Gump was named after Nathan Bedford Forrest?

"Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer"

Is this the moral decay that started in the 1960's?

Is that JeffQ in the 'God, Guns & TRUMP' t-shirt?

Good point. Mrs. Crumbley's crass language regarding her derriere being worked too hard and seeing the only alternative as - not stopping the activity altogether - but instead having the front side grabbed show a real moral decay that is obviously the fault of hippies from 1968.

How many Flame Broiler operators are going to walk off the job this weekend?
