Zhu Rongji, the best Chinese leader of my lifetime, has died at 97, and some Chinese look back at his era of openness with understandable longing: https://t.co/Xh79Ytxt0n I once got Zhu in trouble when he was deputy premier by writing about him as a much more ardent reformer than others in leadership. He was horrified.
This might provide a good opportunity for the sport to encourage us all to play from the appropriate tee for our distance and skill level. Courses could help by making sure we have several sets of tees from which to choose.
I don’t understand the anger about the golf ball roll back. It will make no difference whatsoever to the average golfer and puts golf back on a path of sustainability. It will also help bring back certain skills in the pro game that have been eradicated over the past 2 decades.
The people who are upset about this decision shouldn’t be mad at the governing bodies, they should be mad at elite pros and club/ball manufacturers because they didn’t want bifurcation. The governing bodies presented us with that option earlier this year. Elite pros and ball manufacturers think bifurcation would negatively affect their bottom lines, when in reality, the game is already bifurcated. You think we play the same stuff you do? They put pressure on the governing bodies to roll it back to a lesser degree for everyone. Bifurcation was the logical answer for everyone, but yet again in this game, money talks.
@alexspeier We're all hurting. Tough days, as you said. But you and your colleagues had a good year. You all are the reason I subscribe to the Globe. Thank you for all you do.
@PintsandPanels I usually think, "Do they mean NEIPA?" Calling something an "East Coast IPA" isn't specific enough to tell the consumer what the beer is like.
@WillGordonAgain I feel that for their regular pale ale. But Celebration is so hop-forward that I notice the change even over the first month or so. I love that beer so much that its steep decline makes me sad every year.
The reason student debt is so high and why repayment or forgiveness are the only options is that you can't be relieved of student debt in bankruptcy.
File Chapter 7 bankruptcy and you can get rid of medical debt.
You should know this and understand this if you talk about it.
@MattKalman Suffice it to say that assurances that they would make sure I got tickets on time, that they had the staff to handle issues, and guarantee on-time delivery all were false.
