Update: My son, who was the only one in his college history class to not wear a mask after the professor asked them all to do so, told me today that about 1/3 of the class is no longer wearing masks. This is the way.

@JimmyTraina Compared to the 2023 season, the Indiana Fever (Caitlin Clark’s team), the avg home attendance is up from 4,067 to 16,571 per game, a 300% increase. The Chicago Sky (Angel Reese) have gone from 7,242 to 8,248, a 14% increase. Caitlin is driving attendance; Angel not so much.

This is the sort of thing that drives me crazy about Desantis and the right. Why do we need to ban lab-grown meat? Just let people decide for themselves.
BREAKING: New law in Florida to place a ban on lab-grown meat will take effect on Monday, July 1st.

When we had our son over 20 years ago, my wife was an engineer at Ford. We were both making roughly the same salary. Initially my wife was planning to take a year off from work, and then head back to Ford. During that year off, she decided she wanted to stay home as a full-time.

What’s something that’s no longer enjoyable after the madness of the past few years?. For me it’s eating out. The quality of the food doesn’t seem as good, the service is worse, and it’s significantly more expensive.

There was a 41% increase in the US Money Supply (M2) from March 2020 to March 2022. This is the primary driver of inflation. Not supply chain issues. Not corporate profits. Money printing, which devalued the US Dollar.
