That was from 2016. Besides money, I saw speculation that the Turks have Intel on the Saudi journalist murder that Trump doesn't want released.

Re: Rants 2?

That struggle is pretty much my job, plus supervising others how to handle that dilemma..and external pressure (my boss/most parents/the state) says you should intercede ASAP because CYA, even though the right thing is to usually let kids work it out without you.

The cost of healthcare also hinders entrepreneurship. If you have to worry about health care, you're less likely to start your own business if you have to leave a job where you have health care. There are all kinds of hidden costs to our economy, our health and our mental well-being as a result of ...

Re: NFL Week 5 - The Return of Colt McCoy?

So...it turns out the 49ers might indeed be really good. That running game combined with that defense is a pretty great answer to passing offenses, and it will travel in any weather. Teams are loading up on faster, and usually smaller, defensive players to counter the passing offenses, so it's cool...

I'd be surprised if they're a lot worse.

He still has to manage a hopefully ...
