    Free trade in North America, between Canada and the United States, was implemented by Ronald Reagan and Brian Mulroney in 1988.

    Using Microsoft Teams instead of Zoom, that's like using Derek Jeter at shortstop instead of Alex Rodriguez.

    There was a picture of Jesus at our house when I was a kid, he looked sort of like a young Errol Flynn. So, that ought to settle the argument I think.

    Microsoft Teams blows.

    Pick up a banjo!

    Clinton still makes me laugh. He did the finger point at the camera (it later became Rafael Palmeiro's signature move) and said in short staccato bursts "I did not have improper relations with that woman." Being impeached for lying was so unfair, because he wasn't lying lol! He genuinely did not think that there was anything improper about getting a BJ from a young woman over whom he held immense power.

    Collect all the keys.

    He's never a ginger though.

    They can afford to stall, because Spring Training is far, far too long anyway. These guys all stay in shape year round. As for the owners I doubt that the ticket sales from spring games amount to much as a percentage of overall revenue.

    He doesn't seem to be vulgar enough for Maroth or conceited enough to be Stan. To choose one it would be Maroth I guess.

    Yep, he wants Lindor money. What we are seeing so far is that the market is telling him he isn't worth 10/340. He doesn't like it, so he fired his agent. Fail to see the logic here. Maybe things will change for him after a new CBA is worked out. My $10 bet is that he eventually gets $34 AAV but not 10 years. "I'm the best shortstop on the market, so I get 10/340." Sorry pal, starting to look like maybe it doesn't work that way.

    That sounds like a business unit of OCP, headed up by Dick Jones.

    How is this even possible? The part that was really astounding is that they get the rights to patrol a mile of the interstate. And then, at the next town line, I guess Sheriff Buford T Justice takes over. Surely the citizens of the town can do something about this. And who is John Archibald...does he have any sort of national platform?

    And soap.

    I am nominating Canada for "least organized" on administration of the 3rd vaccine, after a performance that was excellent on the first 2. It is chaotic, because the distribution locations were dismantled last fall before Omicron and quite rightly so. As for self-testing kits, forget it, you can't get one. Having said that, I am curious about how the United States would be judged to be "most organized"...what were the empirical measurements, compared to which other countries?

    Interesting that Brazil, whose president is a loudmouth far-right extremist, is 88% vaccinated. Hmm.

    I have no doubt that that is the case. There was a stupid contract out there from a stupid team, but Seager took it.

    The Gates chip will easily detect that.

    In praise of Randy Quaid I would say that he was a stupid dumbass a long time before it became fashionable.

    Both. Him and Ohtani.

    Yes we are agreeing on this...in the inelastic range quantity demanded does decline in response to a price increase, for the reasons you stated, but the percentage decline is less than the percentage price increase.
  22. Jim Cowan
    Yes exactly. Gasoline, cigarettes, alcohol, crack cocaine, electricity - quantity demanded declines by a relatively lower percentage than the percentage increase in price. However if you are at the elastic end of the demand curve, for example a vacation resort, a price increase results in a decline in total revenue.

    Trump legitimized stupidity, made it a sort of talisman.

    No one would ever fry peameal bacon for breakfast! "They must have been immigrants!"

    Ha ha, I apologize on behalf of all of us, they should be shot for having that as a menu item...and for ca!ling it Canadian. It is pretty far down the list of popular meat choices.
