Things not going well in Venezuela
So does Venezuela become a failed state? Does the military rule long term post a coup? With the conditions being so bad, why has action not occurred against Maduro?

Federal District Court Rules That National Retailers Can Sell Liquor
Is the perception that Spec, Total Wine, and other’s have significant gross margins such that big box stores will drive prices even lower? I got the sense that Spec’s prices were already competitive. So is this just a convenience thing to buy your booze while grocery shopping? Or people really crave Kirkland brand booze? i would rather get rid of the 9pm cutoff and the Sunday noon prohibition. Those are far more inconvenient.

358 users on shaggy is absurd. Who is so dense as to continue to visit and post on Shaggy?

Infrastructure
Selfishly, I wish the state of Texas would invest in water infrastructure projects. Namely additional reservoirs along with desalination plants along the coast that pipe that water inland. It isn’t economic to build but Texas is going to need incremental fresh water supplies in the decades to come.

Natural gas has already given us very low energy costs in the US, to the point that nuclear plants are not commercially competitive at the moment.

Paul Ryan is badass AF and I want him to be Speaker
Not a chance in hell he resigns, unless doing so makes him more money than staying in office. Resigning in disgrace is not likely to lead to profit.

House 2018
Assume Dems take the House in spectacular fashion. Assume GOP keeps the Senate. Do Dems stay energized for another 2 years when realistically, controlling the House slows Trumps agenda but does not advance the Democrats agenda ?
