I'd say it's an important piece in reducing poverty. You're either paying someone else's mortgage/rent increases or your own, which you often recapture upon future sale. Non-investor homeowners also strengthen neighborhoods and communities compared to transient renters. As a whole it helps.

Rail in the US ranges from $100 million/mile to $2.5 billion/mile. Clearly something is broken.

The Bear is terrific. Watched all 8 episodes in 2 days Orville season 3 is mostly good. The Boys season 3 the best one yet The Thaw is pretty good. I couldn't get into the Old Man. Will try again in the next few weeks. Still need to start Love, Sex Robots. Maybe this weekend

Whoops, looks like I misremembered the special.

Ah Flemings, 12 years ago they had quite the food/drink specials. 4 items for $5 until 6, I recall.

$25 over asking? Damn.

The annual earnings for a full-time minimum-wage worker is about $15,000 at the current federal level. And quite a few states allign their minimums to federal. And companies wonder they can't hire.

Obviously the numbers range, and parents, please correct me if I'm mistaken since I don't have kids, but daycare is about $10,000-$15,000 a year. That amount is just... staggering, and if remote work can help mitigate some of that financial burden, then all the better.

It's an unfortunate effect, but I don't think it's my civic duty to keep those places afloat. Also, the individual and social benefits of working remotely are enormous. Less pollution with less traffic. More local businesses seeing patrons. More savings. More time to spend with family. More time for sleep, errands, hobbies, etc. That all has real positive utility. And yes, at the expense of some businesses. Some will adapt; others will close. And daycare is an unbelievable beast of an expense; that's one industry I wouldn't mind seeing close if more cost efficient alternatives are available.

Yeah, hopefully he got the oral rape out of his system.

And there are an inordinate number of questionable massage parlors along and around Whipple. Icing on the cake for some.

So on 9/11, we pay Baker over half a million to play against our sexual predator's backup quarterback. Can't wait.

There's also multi-hour commutes, spending large amounts on dry cleaning, lunches, and work-related costs, running errands on evenings and weekends, spending small fortunes on daycare, and being emotionally and physically harassed and drained at the office. I'll take these supposed blank stares any day of the week.

Great mayor, parks, tech jobs, student population, cigar shops. Horrible roads and cost of living. A bit like San Diego.

I get that Ohio leadership, and much of its voters, doesn't care for women, but the Jim Brown statue should have been destroyed long ago.

Beachwood Mall looked to be 90-95% full. Maybe half a dozen new stores geared to a less traditional market, and it certainly beats vacancies. Starbucks closure is still mystifying. Dillard's looks cleaner. Saks emptier and with a lot of sales. Let's hope Cincinnati's closure isn't indicative. My dad is a big fan of the new pub too. It's... fine, and they have $4 happy hour drafts (Pizzazz has $3 happy hour drafts btw).

An updated list is below, looks like Ohio fares a tad better now. https://worldpopulationreview.com/us-city-rankings/cities-with-most-murders Cities With Most Murders 2022 The twenty cities in the United States with the highest murder rates (murders per 100,000 people) are: St. Louis, MO (69.4) Baltimore, MD (51.1) New Orleans, LA (40.6) Detroit, MI (39.7) Cleveland, OH (33.7) Las Vegas, NV (31.4) Kansas City, MO (31.2) Memphis, TN (27.1) Newark, NJ (25.6) Chicago, IL (24) Cincinnati, OH (23.8) Philadelphia, PA (20.2) Milwaukee, WI (20.0) Tulsa, OK (18.6) Pittsburgh, PA (18.4) Indianapolis, IN (17.7) Louisville, KY (17.5) Oakland, CA (17.1) Washington D.C. (17.0) Atlanta, GA (16.7)

The only announced new Target is located at the former Whole Foods by Corky's. And it'll be a smaller one too.

"Buzbee did say in a statement on Monday however, that he’ll file ‘many’ more cases against the Texans for enabling Watson’s alleged misconduct by arranging rooms at a hotel and providing him with a non-disclosure agreement." Let's hope. They all knew, just didn't care. Much like Walker, Chubb, Ward, Brissett and others who have been openly supportive and complimentary of the sex predator. Then again Cosby and Weinstein had their supporters too, so there's nothing new here.

In other words, Dee and Jimmy want another complimentary tens of millions of dollars for stadium upkeep/"enhancements", after which they'll try to extort the city/county for a free $1-3 billion dollar stadium in ten years or so.

Ah, if only...

Boston this weekend, then back to the Twins early next week. New York/Houston should be a fun series.

Well, he did give Anthony Walker a $50,000 Rolex. So there's that. The fact that Walker didn't shove it up Watson's urethra is disappointing. Might have prevented some of the inevitable future "misunderstandings".

Now this is a wild game! Edit: Now bottom of the 9th. Boy, wild wasn't half of it.
