  1. There’s no ideal two hitter on this team. Not that great OBP. I’d be tempted to try a lineup like this: Turner 6 Soto 9 Castro 4 Bell 3 Schwarber 7 Robles 8 Keiboom 5 Gomes 2 Id be surprised if they are in on Reamulto at this point. A lot of boom or bust in this lineup.
  2. Biggs, Gosar, Hawley, Cruz, Brooks, and Tubberville are going to go through some things. We’ll be hearing their names as coordinators of this insurrection
  3. Hawley is the Papa Doc of the Senate. He wants to portray himself as a man for the blue collar people. But he’s a prep school kid of great privilege. There’s gotta be a recording of him somewhere denigrating his constituents.
  4. Honestly, I feel bad for her family. There’s got to be some guilt there. But she was a grown woman. My wife and I had a conversation tonight reflecting that we are fortunate that we don’t have to make tough decisions regarding our close family members.
  5. Got it. But my question is more around the unused cap from 2020 which is like 20-22M according to over the cap. Either all or a portion of that should roll over in 2021? Is he including that?
  6. But if she was killed by antifa, then that’s scary because that means antifa has infiltrated Capitol police. Do Blue Lives Matter?
  7. If they are correct, then they have to give Ashli Babbitt a ton of credit for committing to the bit.
  8. I’m not sure why these people can’t pick themselves up by their bootstraps and stop sucking off the government’s teat.
  9. 4000+ deaths today. Seems like a lot, but I suspect a month from now we’ll be hoping it drops to 4000 a day.
  10. Christopher Alberts, 33 of Maryland. Mark Jefferson Leffingwell. Seditionists. Facing charges.
  11. I’m just glad it wasn’t a Congressional staffer or someone who was supposed to be in the building when I heard about a woman getting shot.
  12. Beytwicé (@lotoysrus) Tweeted: Why y’all keep asking where the police at? Y’all ask where Miley’s at when Hannah’s on stage? (can someone give me quick tutorial on embedding tweets here?)
  13. Alexander Marquardt (@MarquardtA) Tweeted: Some cavalry has arrived at the Capitol - Montgomery Country police in riot gear suiting up. (Not enough signal to post pics)
  14. I did my program at night while working full time, so maybe the amount they would allow me to borrow outside of tuition was limited to cost of living. But since I had income, it seemed like too much. Just like any policy, the framing of it matters and I think politicians and media do a really poor job of it. When I talk to people about student loans I get answers like “it’s not fair, I saved for and paid for college.” Or “I’ve already paid my loans back, it’s not fair.” And those are totally understandable feelings. But student loan relief benefits the economy and society as a whole, not just borrowers. Though the solution is more complicated than wiping out debt.
  15. I think any policy around student loan relief should focus on curbing the rising cost of education, increasing access to underserved populations, and funding vocational outlets. It’s complicated, and I’m not smart enough to articulate the details, but it goes beyond loan forgiveness. In your suggestion, there would need to be caps on how much you can borrow and what that money can go to. When I went to grad school earlier this century I could borrow so much money that was beyond the cost of tuition. It was unsubsidized so the interest rate was higher. If I could borrow that at 0-ish %, I would have taken out much more and put it in the market. I do think there’s a lot of pent up consumer demand that is not met because of student loans, and although I wouldn’t benefit directly, it’s hard to see how loan relief wouldn’t benefit the economy as a whole.
