Florida processes more than 10 million votes in a matter of hours.
California takes days — or sometimes even weeks — to count the votes.
It’s pathetic — and it’s corrosive to our civic culture.
This one is open.
I'm all-in on the 24-team CFP. Last year, 35 power-conference teams had 3 losses or less with 3 weeks to go. The excitement down the stretch would have been palpable.
My rationale is in @TheAthletic link. Check it out.

My father was a Special Forces operator with two tours in Vietnam and 20 years of service. To all those like my father, we all say thank you for your sacrifices. Without them we wouldn’t have the greatest country on Earth.
I guarantee you when the father reaches the end of his life, he and his son will talk about their time traveling the country so the son can play baseball. They won’t be talking about the annual return in the S&P index.
A @UChicago economist documents a "happiness crash" in America--a "sudden, sharp & historically unprecedented decline in self-reported happiness." This article is silent on the one variable he found most predictive of this happiness crash: marriage.
CLIENT: These federal charges seem serious. What kind of sentence could I get?
LAWYER: Depending on the next presidential election, you're looking at somewhere between life imprisonment and becoming a millionaire.
This is slopulist nonsense that plays well on social media, but would make things worse.
Institutional investors own a tiny share of housing stock. And rents often *increase* when you force them out of the market. How is it "America First" to make housing more expensive?
One can have mixed opinions about AI itself, but the revolt against data centers is a very ugly sign for the U.S. It shows America headed in the direction of Europe, developing the moral sense that any kind of development or economic activity is somehow immoral, so it’s better to just not have such things. The proper response to worries about water is to point out that it is a hysterical lie (data center water use is minuscule compared to agriculture or other industries); the proper response to worries about electricity is to build more power plants as quickly as possible.
The end result of this panic will be economic stagnation and domination by foreign powers that choose growth.

In our day, with social media, artificial intelligence, and all the technology of our modern age, it is very easy to be misrepresented or to misrepresent the intent of others.
Let us be determined to be completely honest and most generous as we speak of others.
Reflexively opposing Trump at every turn, like reflexively supporting him at every turn, means that you've handed over all your judgment of what's good & bad to Trump.
@BYUSportsNation@jaromjordan When you can’t get into the CFP after going 11-1 in a P4 conference, maybe it needs a little watering down. And if you eliminate CCGs, it’s basically the same number of games it is now.
