Clearly, I am going to need re-education.

@DoctorDrew32 Looks great.
75,000 won’t get the prices down. They would add more boxes, etc

@jlinehan9 @Firstand16_Pod Basketball is at additional risk because of no roster continuity

[Dave Magnesen @scrodco]

@jlinehan9 @Firstand16_Pod It’s a bit of a house of cards. The ability to up-charge everything to moneyed bandwagon riders depends upon on-field success. Two bad years in a row and there will be empty seats, because the true fans will have been priced out.

BYU has a CFP-threatening RB injury problem.
Next man up, RB4!

[Dave Magnesen @scrodco]

This could get very interesting very quickly.

BREAKING: Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey have agreed on rapid military deployment at an emergency meeting of the Mecca Alliance's defense committee in Riyadh, per Pakistan's Foreign Ministry.

The three countries initially signed the pact on August 7. An attack on one is treated as an attack on all three, similar to NATO's Article 5.

The meeting comes amid continued Houthi attacks threatening Saudi territory and Red Sea infrastructure.

Pakistan is also set to expand its military presence in Saudi Arabia with 25,000 troops.

@TerribleMaps I like to check the replies on maps like this for the inevitable "ackshully" responses.

[Dave Magnesen @scrodco]

It goes considerably slower when I do it.

There's something extremely satisfying about watching someone who has completely mastered their craft

@KenIvoryUT Fun contextual counterpoint:
The devaluation of the dollar did not begin in 1971.
The previous 55 year period wasn't much better.

@mmcelroy99 @BenSasse You got a write-in vote from me in 2024 as well, which I thought was a compliment, since I voted for Sweet Meteor of Death in 2020.

Bro put AI into a Big Mouth Billy Bass and now the fish gives him motivational speeches to get him to work out

[Dave Magnesen @scrodco]

@KenIvoryUT Bond sales are the canary in the coal mine for sure.

@RepDonBacon Zelensky should deny them a permit to hold this event. Maybe some long-range sanctions at certain strategic sites around Moscow.

[Dave Magnesen @scrodco]

Sweet mercy. People don't have enough economic literacy to know that price caps produce scarcity.

[Frank Luntz @FrankLuntz]

54% of Republican voters and 62% of independents approve of government setting price caps on certain products to limit how expensive they get.

@RepDonBacon This may be the least-bad suggestion that could actually move the needle. Great idea.

[Dave Magnesen @scrodco]

@RepDonBacon Understood, and agreed. Many of the problems are indeed structural. There is no political will generally to tackle the deficit/debt problem. Our children and grandchildren will be the ones who pay the price (probably through persistently high inflation).

[Dave Magnesen @scrodco]

@KenIvoryUT Still zero political will to stop the bleeding. They’re going to try and print their way out of this.

Inflation is coming

[Dave Magnesen @scrodco]

@jonathanchait You are calling for the ONE THING that cannot constitutionally be done. Article V is clear on this.

[Dave Magnesen @scrodco]

@JonahDispatch This is the correct answer.

[Dave Magnesen @scrodco]

There are still so many great people in this country.
