Was the bathtub occupied?

Why couldn’t they just say that in the article!?

To me, this is an area where some unions could really make up some ground with conservatives and liberals. The instinct to rally around members can be detrimental to the overall goal of the union when that member has been proven to be a bad employee. I’ve never been in a union, so I’m guessing the stereotype of lazy union workers is probably overblown; but I’m sure there are examples that reinforce it.

No, Olmsted was a landscape architect (also did Biltmore in NC). The state or city parks commissioner who did it. Can’t remember his name. He also explicitly didn’t leave room for future light rail expansion when they build the LIE, or some other expressway. Been awhile since I lostened to that one.

Thanks for the recommendation. Added to my library

There’s a really good Behind the Bastards about the guy who made those decisions. Can’t remember his name.

He’s half right. Bezos is getting what he paid for. He couldn’t care less if anyone sees that movie.

Release the Epstein files, and I’ll go see it for free.

Agreed. “I was just following orders” has pretty famously been eliminated as a credible defense.

A long time ago, I came across a profile shot of this.

Cool.

Weird thing is this is the “government takeover” the 2nd amendment nuts have been screaming about for generations. Not at all surprised that they’re mostly silent now. Also not at all surprised it their own political party who’s doing this.

I think that’s the other thing they’re doing. In the meantime, at least China isn’t treating trading partners like they owe their existence to its largesse like The Idiot.

Sorry if it came off as combative. Didn’t think you were being glib!

Not saying never give him what he wants. If he wants to engage in international diplomacy like a Big Boy, by all means go for it. The second he reverts to his bullying nature, sell off another $100m in treasury bonds.

Bullies only respond to power, and this one has the memory of a rock. Has to constantly be reminded that he’s not the only one with a stick to swing around.

Before anyone says, but wrecking the economy will hurt them to!” Yeah, I get that. It’s that reasonable thinking that Trump’s admin are banking on when they think wholesale tariffs will let them do whatever they want. This is where we are. A big international game of chicken. Unfortunately the biggest wimp in the game also has the most powerful military and largest economy. So there’s that. Still, he doesn’t seem to care about consequences, and as long as anyone on the other side of the negotiating table does, he’ll always have the upper hand.

If anyone isn’t expecting this kind of reaction to anything they do, they have no business being in government. Trump’s made it clear this is his go-to move. I think other countries need to make it they or go-to response to sell off $100m in Treasury bonds as a response to the threat, and promise to multiply that number by 10 of the tariffs actually happen.

Getting your code to do what you tell it is easy. Getting it to do what you want is hard.

Like how I do .

More often than not I’m the same way!

I mean, mistakes are a part of life, sure, but I would hate it if they defined my life! I’ve managed to make some pretty good choices along the way, too.
