That is Pepper, my cocker waiting for the mailman.
This is a good example of diversion. See how an issue about which most people agree becomes a political issue with political ideological arguments almost unrelated to the fact that most Americans agree that we need to lower drug prices. Talking abou…
And, to the little guy, the US subsidizes the negotiated prices of other developed countries as well as the free or discounted prices necessary for the poorest of Americans. Little perceived indignities like this may contribute to the overall anger …
Well, I, for one, am hopeful at the prospect of visiting, as in sitting inside, Dairy Queen for a blizzard. I wish Pfizer all the luck in completing the test phases successfully. I congratulate the scientists, medical professionals and engineers at …
When a country finds its purpose to be crawling up and down the vaginas of women and not advancing the state of its people, it is not a state at all but a banana Taliban.
Probably Wray since the public doesn't have a strong opinion about him.
Barr is interesting but who, with the exception of Giuliani would be more blindly loyal?
Eventually Fauci if he doesn't retire after his transfer to a impotent position.
Yes it is, Mark. But, at my age, I lived through much of the timeline (too young to remember life under Truman) and I couldn't help thinking that sometimes, though, the devils in the details. And "we the people" have had more than one considers to d…
Yes, the IRS, SEC, etc. type agencies have a problem with the caps on pay. They cannot really compete for talent and/or do not have the resources to devote to single clients. I think we all understand how hard it is but most of us would like to see …

My home town, the history that places your question into the real world.

Of course the "tip" might have been so heavy that the robot tipped over when it grabbed it.
But what would a robot want for a tip? I think something like a new pair of hands with gecko capabilities, extra lightweight legs, flight capability, etc.
The bold below in the buzzfeed article is mine simply because I the phrasing is so... so.... (no words come to mind). Where do you train to talk like this?
The letter warned that “leadership on financial crime had been lacking for a considerable per…
@hank Thanks. After my ex-federal-colleagues were hit with the mandatory SS tax deferral and subsequent pay back, I admit I sanity checked to make sure that I wouldn't have to take two RMDs in 2021. Some people thought the SS deferral was the same a…
And here I've been thinking the relationship went somewhat like this: The Fed is in place to help the market spend down the future of Main Street today. It's somewhat comforting to learn that that is not the case.
@linter
Wish granted. Replace your link to MFO with this link:

In fact why don't you investigate all the category choices (on the left of a PC page) and ignore Discussions+ until the spam…
For those who have access here is the original "OPINION" column from the Washington Post. It seems to me to be a rambling speculation of what could happen, not if Biden wins, but if Trump loses and doesn't accept it. Again we are discussing someone'…
@AbrahamLincoln I'm not sure that is exactly what I was trying to say. I think I was trying to say that consideration of the needs of both groups needs to included in the solution. But I do think the nature of the age group means that if young adult…
Why is that age the favorite of those looking for someone to go to war? Why is that age the most likely to do take dangerous dares? Why is that age the most likely to do want to surf the most dangerous waves?
I admit that I am a little weird on th…
My Alma Mater is seriously confronting the issue, though I can't say the METHOD is always to my liking. They invited feedback from alumni, so I sent them some, earlier today. Confronting the past, facing the future, too.

Black lives matter. I guess I will die without seeing this country understand. President Barack Obama gave me hope that America could change. How naïve was I?
And, with that, credibility gone.
And just who at MFO are members of the credibility determination cabinet? I can't believe that Anna wasn't at least asked to serve on such an elite committee.
The true crime is they never learn. "They" being those making the rules for distributing the money. After the BP gulf oil spill, the son of a woman I went to school with applied for a couple of million based in a false claim of business damages to a…
