The Fed announced a 50 bps (0.5%) rate hike yesterday and market reaction was mixed until JPow said they weren't anticipating a 0.75% rate hike in June. Stocks rocketed up to end the day yesterday. Today? So far, the NASDAQ is down over 5% and the S&P 500 is pushing -4% on the day.

RIP. They carried my favorite porter of all time (the coconut porter). Just like Zauber carried my favorite Hefeweizen of all time (the Vertigo) - which reminded me, didn't the co-founder say he was going to be "back" at a new location and then just never showed up? Very odd. I imagine Lineage's space was hard to adapt to the pandemic times. Smaller footprint, no outdoor space. It's a shame but it was a good run.

They just did a locker room upgrade last year I think. There's a longer video (or article) out there that showed the before and after.

For reference, the Georgia Dome in Atlanta only lasted 25 years. The Texas Rangers played in the old Arlington Stadium from 1972 to 1993 (21 years), and the Rangers then moved to The Ballpark in Arlington, where they only played from 1994 to 2020 (26 years). The Braves in Atlanta only played at Turner Field from 1997 to 2016 (19 years). Those are just a few examples and all but the Georgia Dome were outdoor venues.

Kind of wild to think that the arena is over 20 years old.

Imagine debasing yourself to the point that you sold yourself as the "pro Trump" candidate and not even getting that endorsement lmao

Like Republicans, you are conflating sex with gender identity and sexual orientation. The book I mentioned about "two mommies" would be banned in FL, OH, and any other state that adopts this bill as law, despite never talking about sex. This could go in this thread and/or others in the Current Events: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-so-many-conservatives-are-talking-about-grooming-all-of-a-sudden/ Why So Many Conservatives Are Talking About ‘Grooming’ All Of A Sudden Make no mistake - Republicans don't care about the curriculum being taught in public elementary schools.

Do you, unlike the authors of these bills, have any examples of such "inappropriate subjects" being taught to students K-3? Or are you just buying the boogeyman hook, line, and sinker? As I said above, the bill is a solution for a problem that doesn't exist and, in fact, in doing so is creating problems that don't exist and now many people are falling for them. Here is a thread on a seemingly innocent book from the late 80s. It's a children's book, teaches nothing about sexual or identity, it just shows that not all families are the same (some kids have two moms, some might have two dads, etc.). Would a teacher be banned from (or prosecuted for) reading this book to 2nd graders in Ohio or Florida under these bills? In Ohio, at least, parents could lodge a formal complaint against a teacher who does so.

Not exactly a third party analysis, seeing as it came from Intel itself lol "$2.8 billion to annual gross state product" is entirely irrelevant. Ohio has no corporate income tax.

Anyone want to run a cost analysis on how long it'll be before the state recoups that $2 billion?

https://search-prod.lis.state.oh.us/solarapi/v1/general_assembly_134/bills/hb616/IN/00/hb616_00_IN?format=pdf Not sure if/when it makes sense to move this to its own thread, but here's a quick readthrough of HB 616 (known as the "Don't Say Gay" bill): Here is page 1 of the bill: "The board of education of each school district shall be the sole authority in determining and selecting all of the ... textbooks, instructional materials, academic curriculum" in schools under its control. Sure, totally normal. Even a bit of flair for the "limited government" conservatives used to support. Now, let's go to page 2 where they immediately (in the very next line, even!) eviscerate this idea: Oh wow, the list of things that boards of education won't have "sole authority" over - in fact, are banned from selecting - just happen to be a bunch of right-wing buzzwords, designed to rile up the GOP base while having no real bearing on what is being taught in, I don't know, elementary curricula. Not only do the great hits make the list - "CRT" and the "1619 Project" - but the GOP wants to legally codify that those are "inherently racist and divisive." By whose definition, exactly? Btw, why are those things divisive? Because right wing lunatic politicians and pundits have spent 18 months *MAKING THEM DIVISIVE.* https://www.newyorker.com/news/annals-of-inquiry/how-a-conservative-activist-invented-the-conflict-over-critical-race-theory Now, we get to the next part, which is right wingers latest wet dream...citizen enforcement. That's right, the state won't even enforce HB 616, it'll be up to the citizens (not just parents...any individual). Any parent could lodge a complaint against any teacher. What could go wrong? Here is where they cram in the "Don't Say Gay" language: In regards to letter (a) - where are the examples that any of this is happening currently in those grades? If it's such a pervasive issue, I'm guessing there are at least a few dozen examples of this in the text of the bill. Spoiler: there are zero. Any words on who will determine what is no "age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate?" Spoiler: zero, again. All of this begs the question...what is the point of the bill? What are Republicans trying to accomplish? On its face, the bill reads, generously, as a solution to a problem that does not exist. Taken literally, it is a political party one-sidedly deciding what is considered "racist" and what can or cannot be taught in schools. That's extremely dangerous. But it's not just the "Don't Say Gay" language. The GOP also wants to codify an alternative history because it offends their white fragility. That's not patriotic. It's expressly authoritarian. And this is coming from the political party that has constantly referred to anyone left of them on the political spectrum as "snowflakes." They are the ones who now are offended by actual historians pointing out actual history - to the point they want to make it *ILLEGAL* to even talk about in public education. It's the most snowflakey think you could imagine. The fact that conservatives are trying to make illegal to discuss systemic racism in school should tell you something about the reality of systemic racism. The party of "less government in your life" (a lie then, but has since been disproven over and over) is trying really, really hard to insert itself into your life - this time, into public schools.

"They censor us," says U.S. Senate candidate in widely-available political ad. Last year, Mandel called MLK's daughter Bernice a "race politics profiteer." Today, he's invoking MLK's image on the Pettus bridge as some sort of reason that he's not a racist, but CRT is. Anyway, banner day for grievance politics ads in Ohio.

Engaging in some actual fascism. Just a normal Tuesday for Republicans.

It's county data.
