Something to consider: in the first Trump term the economy appeared to be doing well before COVID. But it was fool's gold. There were important tax cuts coupled with increases in government spending which spurred growth, but all this did was create a much larger deficit...which became even...
One of the greats. WGN being part of basic cable meant an endless supply of Cubs baseball in the afternoons after school (and the Braves with Dale Murphy on TBS). Went to Wrigley several times in the early 90s. Dude was awesome.
Fuck, just read that it was in Playa Cocles, Costa Rica on our Caribbean side. That beach is beautiful but the surf conditions can be very tricky with strong rip currents.
Believe that they have signs up on that beach to be careful when swimming.
So my team won the National Title in the Costa Rica Pro Basketball in dramatic fashion. After four blowouts in the final series, this one was a nail biter that was decided in the last seconds. We hit some tough shots down the stretch and my PG was perfect from the line on intentional fouls in...

the CEO statement turned out to be fake.
I never get these situations. My company sponsored more than 100 concerts in my time there. Part of the sponsorship was a hospitality suite. Oftentimes my boss would show up with chicks that were not his wife. Too many times after a few drinks he would...
Vast majority of grad students live off campus. Has been that way for quite a while.
Duke requires undergrads to live on campus for 3 years, but there are plenty of loopholes to get around that and live off campus staring junior year. Ever since they took the fraternities off campus there has...
