Joe Biden 2022: Enter Dark Brandon
Thanks. I don’t follow too closely but read enough about airlines/tech to extrapolate the broader picture, I guess. If it’s a generally global issue that no one has silver-bullet solved then I’m not going to lay blame directly on the government, no matter who is in charge…but excessive PPP loans with no oversight/repayment, exec pressure on the fed to depress rates for years, or current admin not raising rates earlier are things I don’t approve of. Crowing about student loan forgiveness seems stupid as fuck (but not unexpected) when I’m still bitter about the ‘middle class’ tax break…it even benefited me a little, but seemed to mostly help the Fortune 500 during a boom time that should have padded the coffers for the inevitable bear.

Joe Biden 2022: Enter Dark Brandon
Can someone school me better on inflation? Obviously the Party Of No gang will point fingers at recent legislation meant to help people and do some legit investing…but I thought the main drivers were a surge in demand following Covid relaxations, compounded via slower recovery on the supply side (particularly long lead items), and aggravated by excessive monetary policy (artificially low rates, relief spending, etc). What am I missing? There was a lot of pressure to keep prime rates low, ‘Dow 25k’ hats, dumbass ‘middle class’ tax break and the poorly-managed loan program in the US…but it’s a global problem. Airlines are a perfect example, canceling flights due to lack of equipment and crews, contracting too far too fast in the interests of short term financial performance + assuming Covid lockdowns / demand suppression would last far longer. Rates needed to be raised while the supply-side catches back up and cool demand a bit. It’s gonna suck, for awhile. Maybe super-lean manuf chasing low overhead isn’t optimal for all industries. Throw in climate change. There’s no easy answers, right? Not shocked the usual suspects blame Biden when it seems these seeds were sown ages ago. It’s an outrage no matter what a Dem admin does or doesn’t do. Seems this shit always follows a ‘low taxes, no regulation’ admin.

House of the Dragon
On a side note I’ve found those post-credits, post-preview rehash videos to be quite useful. Helps frame up the past hour and delve into character motivations that aren’t always clear during the episode.

I don’t know if any of y’all follow Jon Bois/Secret Base/Fumble Dimension but damn if he doesn’t look like the coach they created when trying to get the Lions to win a game using a single play

Arizona State @ #11 Oklahoma State (6:30, ESPN2): Another future Big 12 preview?
Yes I am. I’ll tone it down. I’ve never fully adjusted to actually being competitive, and let the ISU/OU/CMU/Baylor heart breaks cloud the incredible overhaul Gundy has made in the program. That being said, it was 0-3 in the first quarter when I posted that and they were torching our defense with huge plays. I don’t trust Mason yet to make good adjustments at the half like we did under Knowles. Spencer was looking at a pick-happy game again. I was also coming up on a strong D9 gummy and was weirdly amped. Put that energy to good use later with my wife, but as the game was getting started I was in a weird headspace. But point taken, I’ll STFU on doom and gloom

Herm a little too conservative for his own good there, especially early on.

I’d say we are about to get bit by the upset bug, but after seeing how bad CMU really is…got shit pushed in by S Alabama…I’m not sure it’d be an upset at all today if ASU stomps us. Defense is bad.

Yea…auto correct is a bitch- Tom Brady Is UnFucking Real
Hell that works on a lot of levels for people that don’t rise to GOAT status too. The level of drive it takes to reach premier levels of success usually means you have to be, by definition, very self centered. There are exceptions. A dude I’ve known for decades is being groomed for VP at my employer, but already loathes office politics and works 12hr days as it is…he’s weighing letting his career stagnate as a Sr Director so he can have a life outside work. My father started off as a 2LT Air Force reservist but defied odds to retire full bird AD and is one of the most humble folks I know. Both have endless stories about the cut throat, professional dickheadedness most of their peers possess. Personally I put career growth on hold so I can be a present husband and father. I work hard when I have to but otherwise relax when able. I won’t be a VP and I’m fine with it. My goals are to earn a living so I can do fun things with my kids to wear them out so I can hang their mom in the weekends. But to each their own.- Joe Biden 2022: Enter Dark Brandon
The UBL speech was in front of a hallway, at the White House I’m assuming. That gif is in the press room and I think the door kicking was a joke done by Leno.- Game Week- Alabama
As an outsider that roots y’all on, especially against OU, that’s where I’m at. I think the line is reflective of objective reasoning and the general public’s expectations, but I see a few opportunities…mostly rehashing old shit but I wanted to participate here: DKR will be an absolute madhouse, and yeah the ‘that’s every Saturday in the SEC bro’ folks may disagree but this is a once per generation event here in Austin. I’ve been there when it’s full tilt boogie time, and expect it to be 1.5x that at kick. Sark won’t be intimidated and has inside knowledge. If he doesn’t out-clever himself with a freshman QB and keeps the troops focused, the chess game should be fascinating. Hopefully he’s comfortable with risk taking on 4th/short, potential fake punts, baiting a flea flicker with Bijan, etc. Got nothing to lose and fortune favors the bold. Sanders. Huge advantage to have a flex TE like that with good hands that can play into all kinds of scenarios that offset their DL pressure. You’ve gotta mix him in unexpected places like a PA fake with Bijan or put him in as hybrid FB, and not just on 3rd down. Everyone knows they’re going to key on Bijan but your RB room is such an embarrassment of riches I hope to see some 21 personnel or diamond. Keep complex RPO plays out of your freshman QB but focus on getting the ball to proven players quickly outside of the box. Give the same basic look with a pop pass to Xavier or someone on a slant to put them in space. Defense has to have the ball bounce their way. ULM seemed to insist on running up the gut for 1-2yds a pop for half their plays though so not sure what was learned. Alabama will get theirs, so I guess your D needs to be Johnny on the spot for a lucky TO and otherwise tackle well to keep it manageable. Loved Overshown’s nose for the ball. Who knows about Ewers, my gut says that ‘settle in’ shit won’t work to start with Alabama like it did ULM. Theoretically you’ve got horses to stretch the field in both dimensions with RB, TE and WR…just hoping he can connect on a few bombs early on to make them adjust. Big time players make big time plays in big time games. Overall I’m jealous of the opportunity laid in front of you. Young players tend to let the moment get too big for them…but you’re at home, you’ve worked your whole career for this moment, and it’s time to lay it all on the table. Take it seriously as a measuring stick and maybe you surprise the nation. Rooting for y’all. - Tom Brady Is UnFucking Real
