If people are willing to pay higher prices for their fast food etc, then so be it.    If not, then those business owners lose their business and wonder of all wonders, the workers lose their jobs.   Now they make $0/hour.

I am not a reporter, nor do I own a news organization. CNN,MSNBC or FOX. I don't have 50 reporters out in the field from all 50states. Maybe you do. 

I do not.  Nor am I making any statements as to what protestors on 50 college campuses are shouting.  I was just asking you for a little clarification.  It's okay.

here's my take on it

"How can anyone justify a win by criteria with a 1-1 score, both scores coming via the shot clock"

How can any wrestler blame anyone but themselves when they did absolutely nothing to score?

if you lose a shot clock match, that's a you problem. 

2. How can anyone justify a win by criteria with a 1-1 score, both scores coming via the shot clock. Look at J'den Cox's lone win and tell me he deserved the victory. Happens too often especially in Greco. And the sad thing is that most often the first guy put on the clock is the main Staller, but obligatory shot call to the other guy comes in the 2nd pd, and he loses even when he's more active.

Side note- ugliest win in the tournament McKenna vs Bartlett (must watch)

We used to have 1-1 matches at the end of nine minutes, and then the three officials get together, burn a spliff, and decide who wins.  

As soon as there is a point on the board, you know (or should know) you are winning or losing.  You know (or should know) whether you need to hold or whether you need to score.  There's no its not fair here.

(PS- passivity is not judged based on activity, it is based on holding center)

They have been showing them saying those things on TV news outlets for last 4 or 5 days. Just quoting what the protestors are saying. I assume you have not seen it. It would be easy to find on the internet. Just checked out YouTube . Saw 40 videos in about 10 seconds but there are a lot more videos.

Don’t answer my question, but thank you for the time.

It seems like these protests are escalating. There are about 50 protests going on right now on college campuses across the country. There are arrests being made and there is a lot of news coverage. The protestors are shouting death to Israel and death to America. What say you.

When you say “the protestors are shouting….death to America”. Do you mean the majority of the protestors in all 50 protests are shouting it, or someone on Twitter said they heard someone heard say….?

In fairness, Florida didn't take away heat breaks.  Florida passed a bill that said localities can't pass their own laws, and must follow the state and federal standards on safe working environments. 

@Husker_Du @ionel  Neither one of you can afford me...

I like that Lemley pick

I've always said we the people have the ultimate power in term limits.  Vote their asses out.  But we don't want to do that, much easier to bitch and whine.

This board seems to be in the process of getting overrun by bitter and classless people that like to troll and otherwise complain and belittle.  Less and less actual substance.  
 

More and more attempts to insult or think they are insultingly ‘funny’ … I expect driven by some deep down insecurity.  

Across the board

 which a freakish proportion of this country obviously doesn't have. 

Agreed 

Maybe, and I'm just spit balling here, but maybe the point is we could go on all day and talk about the atrocities committed by illeagel immigrants, legal immigrants, born citizens, white, black, hispanic, etc etc etc.   But nothing is going to get done as long as we only worry about the small pieces of the puzzle our 'leaders' on our side tell us to be mad about...

You sir ARE an expert smoker though.  Going to be in your state next week and bringing my brothers smoker over to our Airbnb...have brisket and pork belly burnt ends on the menu so far, along with teres majors and tenderloins (just grilled).  May do a pork butt.

Sounds like a pretty nice couple days. Where in Florida?
 I haven’t done a day at the smoker in a few months.

I've never seen anyone on here claim to be an expert on climate, immigration, or virology...heck on anything.  Opinions and defending of those opinions don't equate to a claim of being an expert.  

You are correct, no one has said "I am an expert"

It was easy to see what was necessary to avoid an airborne virus when we saw the suits worn by the level 4 lab techs and learned that a decontamination process was required to remove them. 

I'm just saying it's more entertaining than those weeks when everyone is an expert on the climate, or immigration weeks, basically out of all the times everyone is an expert on that week's hot topic, virology has been the most fun.  

The last Olympic trials, I got married on day one.  Shit happens...

I missed those days where everyone was an expert virologist.  I'm glad they're back even if only temporarily.

1st. Too much to type out. 

What I don't like: a focus on winning as the goal. So much is lost, sacrificed, or abandoned in the quest to win. You're a bad coach if your athletes' only focus is winning a match. Kids should be kids. Teach them how to enjoy a stressful, yet very temporary situation and to find the benefits of working and executing in the absence of getting a hand raised. Their worth is not tied to how many points they can score for the team. 

2nd. How do you define 'successful' or 'highly probable'(cuz if you can nail down a probability for certain characteristics to be successful in this sport you should either sell it for a boat load or share it)? 

Just getting their hand raised? I do not subscribe to that definition. So I feel we would be talking past each other. 

A successful wrestlers gets out of the sport what they want. That's it. Maintain their fitness and flexibility. Learn some situational awareness. Maybe how to function better/more effectively in a various stressful environments. Use their imagination to see clear and efficient solutions to complex problems before they've even arisen. 

Up and down the spectrum of success. Plenty of people have gotten what they wanted out of very few wins and I'll bet there are plenty that would admit they wish they could go back and take a different path despite quite a bit of 'success'. I'm one of them.

Care to answer those questions yourself?

Hope it helps. 

That’s an awful long post of stuff you don’t like; to say you don’t want to type what you do like because it’s too much. 
 

You need find some joy in your life. Your are looking for things to find wrong, and looking for misery. Choose enjoyment and happiness, be grateful for what you have. You literally were just asked to post your positives, and refused so you could focus more on your negatives. Not a good vibe for life.

IKR?  It’s not quite as interesting as imagining having to post pictures of what you cooked for supper on Saturday is it??  

Good cookin doesn’t have to be just for supper on Saturday.  Man, not that doesn’t sound like a whole lot of fun. 

Imagine a life where you put so much weight on how many times someone has posted on an anonymous message board.  It’s an interesting world for sure.  

There’s a rather happy world out there too….if you look.
