An actual apology.

Being fired (if he is) for uttering a slur on the air isn't "cancelling." And you have the audacity to talk about microaggressions lol.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/20/economy/unemployment-benefits-coronavirus/index.html I thought cutting UI benefits was supposed to encourage people to take jobs that don't exist...and now we're finding out that's not how it works??

The irony here is that his administration failed to contain the coronavirus which led to meat shortages due to worker outbreaks at meat packing plants.

This is being investigated by the SEC.

Lordstown is going public via SPAC (similar to Nikola). The big play for Workhorse is a contract with USPS. One of the other bidders, Mahindra, has dropped out. Workhorse is the only contract that would be for purely electric vehicles. So it's likely that the Postal Service will hand out a couple contracts. That's expected to happen at the end of September. Keep an eye on that if you're into WKHS.

These are getting too good not to share again. If you actually live across from the Giant Eagle, you heard fireworks nonstop in the month of June. What "quiet?" lol

Without knowing what is needed of the space, 8k sq ft is pretty typical of smaller TJs.

Some reactions so far - names/pics redacted since it's technically not a public forum I think? Anyway, I live like two blocks from the Giant Eagle. Put whatever in there, I don't care. It's mostly a wasted surface lot. I'm seeing a lot of Trader Joes wishes for the retail portion.

I'm not in any private groups, but you can see the public posts (on Facebook, at least) back in March when some of this news first broke - "save Giant Eagle." Most complaints centered around how they'd accommodate parking if it was residential, and that if height was increased it wasn't something that "fit the fabric" of German Village / Schumacher Place lol.

https://www.jacketscannon.com/2020/8/2/21351958/stanley-cup-qualifiers-game-one-recap-columbus-blue-jackets-toronto-maple-leafs Jackets take Game 1 in their best-of-five against Toronto. FSO dropped the ball early on playing the Reds game and POSTGAME in their entireties before finally switching to hockey. It was a low scoring affair with Cam Atkinson netting the eventual game winner early in the third period. Wennberg added an empty netter late to make it 2-0. Joonas Korpisalo earned his first career postseason win and notched a shutout to boot. That's the first postseason shutout in CBJ franchise history.

I don't. I know their biggest three, I believe, are Budweiser, Stella Artois, and Corona. Bud launched their Bud Seltzer this year - likely to compete with Truly and all the other hard seltzers, which has been growing fast in recent years. There is also a Corona hard seltzer apparently. But yeah, they have a ton of brands - Platform Brewery in Cleveland (and tap room in Columbus), for example, is under the AB-InBev umbrella. Modelo, Goose Island, Hoegaarden, Breckenridge, Rolling Rock, Shock Top, Michelob, Labatt, Busch...just to name a few more. I think I read it's something like 20% of all beer sales globally are from AB. With all of their brands, I haven't been able to find a breakout of beer vs. hard cider/tea/seltzer.

Boston Beer Company isn't really a beer company - 75% of their revenue comes from non-beer beverages. They own the Truly hard seltzer brand, Angry Orchard hard cider, and Twisted Tea. They also merged with or acquired the Dogfish Head brand as well. They're expanding into Cincinnati, btw, for those in SW Ohio. So SAM vs. BUD isn't solely a "craft vs. macrobrew" discussion. Meanwhile, BUD beat earnings estimates in Q2 and is up ~7% this week.

KODK received a $765m government loan this week to produce generic drugs. It triggered 20 circuit breakers. There's also lots of evidence of insider trading. Anyway, you could have 15x'd your money from Monday to last night.

This is their fifth, I believe, stock split since they IPO'd. It's largely irrelevant as most brokerages now offer fractional shares.

I didn't really follow the offseason - how/why did he end up in Cleveland?

He's been a beast on my fantasy teams when he's not injured.

And the "bubbles" only work if guys don't go out to "satisfy their needs" or whatever BS. Hard to see how the NCAA is going to make it work. Most are going to conference-only formats but...imagine Penn State traveling out to Nebraska. Plane? Bus? Going to need at least one night staying at a hotel, if not two. Just an example in the Big Ten. Even a "skeleton crew" is still probably 100+ players, coaches, staff. Sounds like the MLB didn't really plan for "clubhouse outbreak" scenarios.

Jakob Lilja didn't make the cut? EDIT - guess he signed in the KHL last month.
