There is a reason why football broadcasts have a play-by-play announcer for games with a color guy. The audience gets key info that adds to the game. Having 6 guys blabbering from the end zones entertains some but adds little to the game. Bad idea ESPN!

@Chris_Ciaccia I assume so.

@firstadopter Are there any good ones?

Musk is ruining the Twitter experience. I no longer can see my selected groups on TweetDeck. I can't even see notifications. That is how I have used Twitter for years. Adios!

Politics at it's best....or worst. Elise Stefanik raising money for Trump's Defense Fund. But read the fine print. Not only does she get 99% of the money but you could unknowingly be donating on a monthly basis. https://t.co/LxiB88txjh

@JarrottHeath I think the built-in disincentives are the lack of character of many people in politics. They start out fine but over time get corrupted by the system they wanted to change but couldn't.

This week will let us know how politicians rank common sense versus theatrics. Our economic well-being may be at stake depending on the result.

[Mike Jackson @bondscoop]

@maoxian Yep!

[Mike Jackson @bondscoop]

Wow! 15 year Twitter anniversary. Boy, has it changed!

[Mike Jackson @bondscoop]

Congress approves government spending. Congress approves the government budget. Congress created the debt ceiling and since then has agreed to raise it. If Congress fails to raise it, there could be a default on that debt. Now who should we blame for a default? DUH

Tonga, Vanuatu, Bhutan, Easter Island, Leichtenstein and The Apostle Islands! Come visit. Some of the Apostle Islands are visible from our home.

@BobBrinker So basically don't travel alone or with very fit people.

Paw prints about the size of my size 11's on our deck from last night. Glad we take in our bird feeders.

Just got an email from https://t.co/uQ53EPiLp3. Supposedly a CFTC-regulated exchange. Sounds like a betting site. Anyone have any experience with them?

[Mike Jackson @bondscoop]

@LorcanRK Quite a change, renaissance man!

@IvanTheK You're showing your age. When was the last time banks gave out toasters to new depositors? lol
