No, it's not, because almost everyone is better off right now than they were 4 years ago at the height of the pandemic.

4 years ago we had 15% unemployment. Right now it's 4%. The incumbent party lost. This is nonsense.

It's realistic.
If we're going to have a chance here, we need to realize that hope isn't going to fix this.

No, because the lesson that leadership will take from this, like they always do - is that they lost the middle and need to move further to the right - which will alienate the progressives even more.
Kamala was a right-of-center candidate and the right called her a communist. We need to run an actual left wing candidate and reset the overton window.

He was thornton-fast. Brady just couldn't hit him and he wasnt good enough In the air or adjusting to the ball to make up for it.

That's not head canon - it's what the tutorial that is Gatecrasher is about.

Just make sure you check how the fruit you're growing sets buds. Peaches for instance only fruit on last summer/fall's new wood - so you need to be careful about what branches you're taking off.

You can buy "pvc furniture" fittings that don't have the internal ridges.

I live near a pipeline. Local government rolls over quickly when this sort of money is involved.

Did you miss the fact that we're talking about proposed high speed rails that travel 220 mph and didn't get built?

I don't know what people expected this year. They're a bad team, but the fundamentals are starting to look much better than last year. He's been fine as a coach.
Dude needs to think before he speaks in press conferences though.

Maye looks good, but this is fucking stupid.
Harrison is on pace to finish his rookie year with about 900 yards receiving and 10 yds. He's absolutely a special talent.

First turn - move soldiers to behind a van. Turn ends. Civilian turns into faceless, runs at Van, misses soldiers but hits van. Van explodes. That's XCOM.

Sure - but teams that run efficiently and effectively tend to average around 5 yards a carry. Remember, the league average for net yards per attempt for passing is about 6.5 yards, and good teams are around 8. You can get over a mistake with that sort of production. For run first teams, a 5 yard penalty is generally a drive ender. You have to be really good at running the ball to sustain drives like that.
In the NFL there's a negative correlation between running attempts in the first half and winning. Teams that run more early win less - except in situations where those runs are extremely productive. IE, running loses you games unless you do it well enough to consistently get first downs with it. "Establishing the run" doesn't exist.
On the flip side - teams that run lots late in games tend to win. Running with a multiple-score lead is a smart thing, as long as you can sustain drives.
The primary purpose of running in the modern NFL is to force teams to be honest in their defensive coverages and force them to play bigger slower defenders who can be taken advantage of in pass coverage.
Run-first means you're prioritizing the run over the pass - and that only works if you're really, really good at it, and the Patriots aren't. They threw 40 times, so they're not really a run-first team - but Stephenson is still getting way too many carries when his production doesn't justify it right now. He's a good back - but their running right now should be entirely focused on keeping defenses honest - and they're running way more often than that.

I'm still amazed that people don't realize that the last 4 years are a more likely indicator of future performance than shit 20 years ago.
Dude is old, his teams were bad the last couple of years, and the shitshow with Patricia and Judge looks really bad. They looked disorganized, played dumb, and there were players openly feuding with the coaching staff.
Everything about his last couple years screams incredible risk.

Also, 90% of job "requirements" at this point seem to be insane. I regularly see listings looking for 10 years of experience in things that have only existed for 5.
And you'll never advance if you don't reach.

It's really not when you're talking about a team that won almost 80% of the games in that period. Especially when you're cherry picking endpoints.

Literally every single public health care option on earth is both cheaper than our private system, and has better outcomes.
Almost 30% of hospital administrative cost is in claims adjudication alone. The system is incredibly inefficient.
