the only time that shirt is appropriate is when it’s addressed to the Red Lobster server bringing you your 12th basket of cheesy biscuits
i’m not quibbling with your conclusion, but i would quibble with how you got there. i would say that this is proof that it’s a giant administrative apparatis more subject to the whims of the executive branch than people largely realize, and the weapon of red tape is still a weapon.

I accepted long ago that nice white people will always find a way to excuse the behavior of ugly, racist white people because (a) they have to live with the ugly white people, (b) they don't want to admit their friends and family are bad people, and (c) they care about minority issues but not enough to stop talking to people who mistreat minorities. It's
i hope we don’t get a tweet and a hill article for every fucking lie and slander that fucker says today, but i know i can’t stop it. just hope we can skip right to the punchline.
If he ever takes press questions again someone should ask if he regrets lowering the flag for slain journalists. He will say yes.
yes. i have a bigger problem with the intentional/unintentional ‘cohen can’t be trusted’ meme popping up the moment he flips. just kindofa weird thing to say out of nowhere imho!
Kelly did say (according to the latest “Kelly is leaving” story) that he wanted to get rid of Pruitt before he left.
Fun fact: Sheffield is the Lawrence, KS of England. Only 80s kids with an apocalyptic bent will get this.
Lots of creative industries accumulate in centralized locations for various reasons. Hollywood and film are heavy in LA, but also now Vancouver and Atlanta. It's a mix of infrastructure consisting of physical sets and shooting location availability, people possessing the behind the scenes technical ability, and people having the experience with this specific kind of work to be able to easily plug and play them into various jobs.
What he's proposing is that the value of the cumulative collective experience of the region's employees from working in the industry and the ability to pick up specialized people from similar companies outweighs the raw technical skills aspects skills for the companies choosing to start up in that area as opposed to other, cheaper areas without those types of neighbors.
People obviously move to areas like SV, LA, DC, Atlanta for work in specialized fields all the time. People obviously come from all over- he's talking about why a company would choose to set up shop next to Google rather than be far apart from big dog competition w/ cheaper rent.
Good. Don't trust cohen. But the thing is, they'd never press charges based on cohen alone. Cohen's evidence would be alongside a mountain of other evidence.
Oh god he's trying to resurrect the kneeling controversy--he's now insisting that waiting it out in the locker room is worse than kneeling.
It's overwhelming now, but I kind of want it all documented somewhere because at some point in the future people will be unable to believe this shit is happening.
I sort of stopped watching these after he won, so I don't know if this is the new normal or if he's particularly unhinged today, but his entire speech only works if everyone in attendance lives in the Fox News bubble. He's declaring victory in areas he hasn't won, randomly still bringing up his inauguration crowds, and just took a break to shit on the "thousand points of light" phrase as something he could never understand because it wasn't as straightforward as "America First" or MAGA. He's also now claiming some specific person has actually come to him and asked him to stop winning because their constituents couldn't take it anymore--trotting out his hypothetical boast from the campaign and now pitching it as a story that has happened. He also at one point seemed to claim the EU was buying cheap oil from Russia because of how much money NATO takes from the US.

Who else were we worried about?
I'm predicting Tennessee and Arizona flip. We might take the Senate back, people.
Oh, Nelson is only ahead by 4. That's a rounding error and margin of error!
Just imagine the subpoenas.
This was taken during the very beginning of the child separation outcry.
The numbers have certainly not gotten better since then.
Kirblar's point still stands, though. Nelson +4 at the beginning of the separation controversy could be a much wider gap now.
I found the error, they used the Latino-only #s. There's no LV/RV model like other outlets are starting to include.
My understanding was that sticky wages was a downward phenomenon, in the sense that you almost never see wages drop in a recession, which is what screws up Saysian economics because suddenly all labor is overvalued and massive layoffs happen, instead of what would be "natural" which is labor taking the same haircut that capital takes in a downturn.
Could be isn't "is," though. Any chance this could be the result from the next sampling in the Marist poll?
I don't know all that much about other creative industries, but I do know about the tech industry, silicon valley and startups (and as a side note, I'm not sure that I would lump it with creative industries like filmmaking, but that's a different discussion).
Most of the hiring in tech is just about looking for people who can code, most companies don't need that many super specialized people, and those that do, either have them as founders or hire them from wherever they can find them (and it's often from outside the area).
What make SV popular with startups is mostly the abundance of VCs (who really push companies to move to the bay area since they're usually lazy idiots). Most of the tech networking is also done mostly through the finance side of things (VCs, incubators, accelerators etc.). I mean yeah, you make some friends and sometime they're coders and sometime you make them an offer, but it's not the way companies usually recruit their workforce. The fact that it's a place that quite a few people want to move to is also a big help (though the cost of living is hurting the area on that front, and you see it with the explosion of other tech hubs).
p.s.
Most startups that I know don't really value managers from big companies like Google all that much, and usually for a good reason (it's not that there aren't good people at those companies, far from it, but the skills to be a manager at Google and a run a team at a startup are usually quite different.
The environment that these red state and swing state guys & gals are running in is the best one they could possibly ask for. If they lose in this environment then their states realignment has finally caught up to them.
This is basically Amazon and HQ2- it's really an HQ1 because Seattle refused to build enough housing for a decade.
And speaking of places that people want to move to - diverse metropolitan areas have better job opportunities than segregated ones, which is completely unsurprising.
Depends if thinking of Stephen King in the same manner you think of Steven Jason Williams (aka Boogie) makes you physically ill inside.
They share a name with Stephen Miller and that's pretty much enough for me. (Granted, my middle name is Donald but at least I'm not espousing garbage ideals.)
I'm not sure I follow, but Amazon didn't decide to built it's 2nd HQ outside Seattle because housing became too expensive, like Bezos would give a shit about any of that. They left because Seattle wasn't "business friendly" enough and that motherfucker know he can find cities that would bend over backward for them even more than Seattle did (and it did quite a bit).

1000%.
Apply the same thing to people in this thread who keep posting stuff about it, too.
When they say suburb are they talking about individual neighborhoods/subdivisions or small towns outside the city limits (I.e Cary,NC in relation to Raleigh NC
Any city is free to accept or reject what they deem is in their interest or not, and businesses are free to seek what best fits their interests. At the end of the day don't elect idiots to government and the city won't screw itself.
