Re: Around the League: Week 20 3/9-3/15

On a different subject, I heard on some podcast that Lauri Markannen wants out of Chicago. Do we want him and for what assets? Personally I'm willing to put up the first round pick this year and maybe Okobo, though I don't know if that's enough for the Bulls. I think he can hold down the starting s...

Re: Democratic primary watch

Conservative (but never-Trumpy) web site The Bulwark has some interesting opinion pieces on the Tara Reade / Biden allegations. https://thebulwark.com/what-biden-has-to-say/ https://arcdigital.media/a-tale-of-two-scandals-a24504d6228a I like the Bulwark quite a bit.

Re: Suns Videos That Make Me Happy

No I loved Cliff! One of my favorites of all time and he'd be in high demand today (no pun intended). But he was the best of that group and wasn't nearly enough against the frontlines of those WC powers. He was tasked with guarding all of those guys at one point or another because he was our best f...

Re: Suns Videos That Make Me Happy

We were pretty maxed out with those Kidd led late 90s teams. McDyess ditched us and we were left with Cliffy, Googs, Longley, Mark Bryant, etc to go up against the likes of Shaq, Sheed, Brian Grant, Vlade, CWeb, Duncan, Robinson. Plus Backcourt 2000 never materialized. Colangelo at least left us a ...

I just saw the following article about the Biden sexual assault charge. Haven't read it yet.

This is...disturbing. I had not seen it anywhere until now. Not surprising given what's being going on in the news cycle.

Re: Coronavirus

Even if he is voted out of office, the GOP continues to get more insane with each election cycle and still holds enough power. The conservative line will be that Biden won because millions of illegals voted for him. Even if he is able to take office, he will not be able to govern. He will not be al...

Re: Coronavirus

Which is why it's really class warfare. The Rs and Ds are fine fighting with each other because it divides the people and keeps them all (and their lobbyists) employed and wealthy. Media channels and outlets make billions as well. Occupy Wall Street had the right idea with the 1%, but couldn't sust...

Re: Coronavirus

Big scandal story broke yesterday. It seems that multiple US Senators received briefings about how bad corona would be here in the US in January, and in response, they sold massive amounts of stock before the economy crashed. They then went on to downplay how bad corona would be to ensure that they...

This isn’t going away any time soon. It did. When was the last time you heard about it. I'm not saying the covid issue was conveniently timed but I'm not saying it wasn't either.

Regarding 0% this is the rate at which the Fed loans money to the banks. Up to the banks to set a rate to lend to you.

Re: NBA Season Suspended due to COVID-19

I should add that we have only administered 6000 tests across the US. For comparison, UK has already tested 30k and they have only 20% of the US population. It’s a joke. We’ve asked for testing of patients and been declined several times already. According to some statistics, South Korea has tested...
