Behold! The Best Negotiator Strikes Again
  • If you live in Denver, you maybe in luck. Looks like they pissed off the IOC pretty good.

    "In a statewide referendum on 7 November 1972, Colorado voters rejected funding for the games, and for the first (and only) time a city awarded the Winter Games rejected them."

  • Elon Musk should face arrest if he incited UK rioters, says ex-Twitter chief
  • They should be running their own server where they have complete control over the content. I hate that public entities rely so much on third party services when their own websites get neglected. Like, I went to your website for info, but then find I have to go to Twitter or FB or whatever to find updates. And then Musk rat has a fit in the K hole and blocks stuff or tweaks the interface to mess shit up somehow and poof, it's gone until he wakes up one of his engineers to fix it.

  • How exactly does one eat 1500 calories a day?
  • Dry beans, rice, oatmeal, eggs and milk. Buy the plain bulk containers if you want the best unit cost. While eggs and milk have gone up in price, they can still be found cheap enough at the warehouse stores.

    Don't skimp on a variety of greens and fruits!

    Behold! The Best Negotiator Strikes Again

    So Obama proposes a plan to an org than is known for saddling cities in debt and they turn the plan down. Trump 'gave them what they wanted to hear' and got the deal done. High IQ business moves right there.

    Trump is a threat whether he wins or loses, Biden says
  • His ideas are concerning and the confidence with which he goes about expressing them, even more so.

    What gives me relief is the piss poor execution and the incompetent people he surrounds himself with. He has turned and burned so many loyalist of his that he is left scraping the barrel. His campaign is rule by clowns and he surrounds himself in an echo camber of social media and poltical personalities. Even if he were to win, it will crumble, much like his many many businesses, as their is no foundation.

    Even if Harris wins, it's not like there is some magic utopia her administration will create. I do wish Trump wasn't such a distraction so we could have meaningful conversations about public policy that matters instead of talking about crowd sizes and where someone's parents were born.

  • FTC head wants investigation into grocery stores over inflated prices
  • As a consumer, probably not much and definitely not fast.

    However, in the context of the Albertson and Kroger merger, it could cast shade on that case and impact the outcome.

    So I guess, optimistically, we can hope it slows our capitalistic death march towards monopolistic consolidation of businesses.
