  1. UM Athletic dept. just announced a $48M loss. Chengelis confirms interview with Vikings. I wouldn't be surprised if Warde has told him that if the Vikings are willing to give him north of $8M he should take it.
  2. Washtenaw CO reporting only 173 cases today. Down ~90% from the peak a couple weeks ago. Case rate under 50/100K. We used to think that was an outrageously high number, now we just hope the report isn't an outlier.
  3. I suppose, but OTOH they will still probably end up paying similar chunk back in increased premiums over x years
  4. He's just a great selfless service - to the next person on the transplant list....
  5. IDK, U is big enough that it takes a 'self insure' approach on at least some stuff.
  6. Manuel seems to be a solid manager, i think he can weather finding a coach if it comes to it
  7. Screw him, he either wants the job or he doesn’t. He beats OSU once in 7 yrs and suddenly he the latest thing since sliced bread? If he thinks he’s not getting enough $$$ love back from the U he needs to read the papers; they just wrote one $500 M check they probably haven’t figured out how to cover.
  8. Really, and maybe the last thing we need is another Ivy League law schooler, like that supposed measure of ‘qualification’ doesn’t come with without all its own biases and limitations of “real” experience.
  9. gave up 5 goals in the last 11 min.
  10. Do they have recall options in VA?
  11. And misinformation even more, to others…..
  12. so that means the Russians will be probing to start some kind of incident to use as pretext that they didn't start the shooting. But by now I think that is pretty well anticipated as Putin's strategy. Things are just getting more explicit.
  13. right - and don't underestimate the religious aspect. The American MS media doesn't focus on it because it doesn't resonate with the frequencies of their cultural antennae, but Putin wraps himself in the mantel of the Orthodox church as the defender of all that is holy against the 'corruption' of Western cultural liberalism. There are not a few in the US for whom that resonates as the same cultural warfare in which they see themselves engaged. We also tend to miss that in the US because we are conditioned to think of Soviet "Godless Communism" and Putin as an heir of that because of his KGB background, but the fact is that he positions himself as heir to both the Soviet geographical empire and the Tsarist Orthodox cultural legacy and has largely co-opted today's Russian Orthodox church.
  14. I think fiscal dollars generate more velocity so I don’t think you get exactly a one -to-one correspondence
  15. So I read a review recently to the effect that Nietzsche is supposedly the most mis-represented writer of his era, basically that his penchant for turning artful phrases resulted in his being quoted as supporting positions he was only describing. Anyway, having never read him in bulk I just amazoned a collection. I’ll let you know I if want to take up his case. 🥸
  16. LOL- I just came across this quote today by total random chance: "The schools have no more important task than to teach rigorous thinking, cautious judgment, and consistent inference; therefore they should leave alone whatever is not suitable for these operations: religion, for example." F. Nietzsche 🤔
  17. I guess the theory goes that they were within a TD in 5 losses so a good draft and better injury luck can get you that much improvement. Who knows? That’s why they’ll play the games.
  18. raise your standards!
  19. The Fed should have stop easing the minute the $1400 checks went out. Bernanke's whole excuse for QE was the refusal of the Federal Gov to do the fiscal stimulus as needed. Once Biden was elected and it was clear that fiscal stimulus was back on the menu, the Fed should have been done. The 6-9 mos lost waiting to see the inflation they could have predicted just means they will have to correct harder. And you are correct, it's because the FED is in thrall to Wall Street.
  20. Ilitch hire?
  21. 👍
  22. Income segregation is guaranteed by the way we have done suburban housing development for decades. Most all tracts have only 4 or 5 models all in pretty much in a tight price range. About the only place I think you see a wide range of size of houses built together in a neighborhood were residential areas of cities built mostly before WWII or even back in the 1920's
  23. IDK, I suppose they must already be polling her prospects internally, if they don't look good offering her a JOTSC might be good political move. But that would be the easy part - nominating a new veep could turn into a political disaster.
  24. I'd say the Jihadi's received a fair level of mocking on the old board - they just haven't been so topical since we arrived here. But I suppose it's also true that mockery, and to a greater degree satirical mockery, do follow from familiarity.
