@ChrisMurphyCT You are trying to make this about race?!?!? Wow, small minded and weak. Yes there is tremendous interest, but we do need a reasonable set of rules and guidelines that insure long term health of the sport and the athletes that make it great.
@ClemsonSports When you look at the money Clemson spends, what they are getting is really poor. On top of that other teams spend way more. So I am afraid even if we spent at that higher level it wouldn’t make a difference with current coaching. Unfortunate but true.
I’m sorry but you do not understand. Costs for these operators are through the roof, many are losing money at these prices or barely getting by. I know first hand as I am in the QSR business. Labor, commodities, and regulations are killing the industry. It’s a sad and unfortunate fact.
@ClownWorld You don’t get it, it’s all the costs have risen so much for the industry, they are making very very little or losing money in many cases. Labor and cost of goods have gone through the roof. Thank your government for all of this.
The labor costs and commodity costs have gone through the roof ever since Covid and artificially so by liberal policies, especially minimum wage and gas prices. Most restaurants are hurting badly and struggle to make any money. Competition is fierce, so that keeps prices down. Yes it’s now expensive but don’t believe it’s the company overcharging. Blame should be placed where it belongs.
@LeaderJohnThune I don’t think you and the GOP realize just how poor your performance is and how much your constituents are disappointed by the lack of effort and courage.
NASHVILLE: I listened to the NES Board meeting so you wouldn’t have to and it’s worse than anyone imagines. Plan on WEEKS with no power or heat. NES failures are decades in the making and no one planned in the slightest for any kind of emergency.
The reason they’re so nonchalant about turning away extra line men is because they can’t deploy extra crews! The bottleneck is not the manpower, it’s a complete failure to implement proper processes before there was an emergency. No surprise that we have an archaic, tangled web of an electric grid. But the surprise is that the repair crews can only conduct repairs IF they’re paired with an engineer who knows our system. And there ain’t enough engineers! That’s totally incompetent.
NES is not the only company to have bespoke infrastructure. I ran a billion dollar company with proprietary and complex systems. And that’s why you document document document. You have to create a knowledge base of your infrastructure so that if every current employee dropped dead, people could step in and still properly operate the infrastructure.
This is a profound failure, with literally deadly consequences. Demand accountability.
@ClayTravis Unfortunately, instead of being able to praise the Response and how prepared NES was to take care of the community and customers, it is a master class in complete failure at all levels. God bless the linemen that are out there working their ass off.
