Traditions

A lot of time is spent on this message board talking about creating new traditions and things to get fans excited or get them to stay at games, etc.

It’s games like Saturday, where things may happen organically end up becoming traditions, even if it only lasts for a few years. It could be a song that’s played. It could be a chant that the students start. Let’s hope it’s a great day and the only way that a tradition is born out of Saturdays with a victory.

One of my worst nightmares


Heads should roll for this, especially after it became clear that he wasn't dead and they still wanted to go forward.

Reminds me of Repo Men, if anyone has seen that movie.

Son now wants to be a firefighter--what do I do?

Freshmen had a career day today. My son went to: business, engineering, paramedic, electrician, and firefighter.

He's all excited about being a firefighter (no, he's not 5). $75K starting salary if you do overtime, and you work one day on (24 hrs), two days off. **** around a lot at the fire station. Can do a second job or run a business on the side (plumber?). Good benefits. Can make about $150K if you stay at it (at 10 or 15 yrs in?).

I started to steer him the other way, and now I'm sitting here thinking damn it, that's a good freakin' deal! Wonder if you could do this while also going to college? Become a philosopher/firefighter? Roadhouse 2 script, anyone???

Healthcare part 49275 - Fort Wayne

Years ago I posted a story that tracked healthcare costs not to overuse or anything like that but to competition. The story mentioned a rural area of Georgia served pretty much by one conglomerate that had some of the most expensive healthcare in the country. Meanwhile Chattanooga, labeled by one doctor the buckle of the stroke belt, had many hospitals and some of the lowest costs.

Now we move up to the land of Goat, Fort Wayne. The Guardian says it is the most affordable metropolitan area in the nation, but its healthcare is in the top 10%. Guess what, one facility dominates the region


I know many of us hate anything involving laws, but I have to wonder if we can cap the percentage of doctors employed by one facility in a region? There has to be some way to force competition. A city may not be big enough for 2 major hospitals, but then why let the hospital own all (or any) of the GPs and specialists? Only those who practice only in the hospital can be directly employed by the hospital?

As the American Constitutional Republic writhes in it's death throes...

Nothing illustrates the slow, agonizing death of American justice than the continuing actions of the out-of-control Federal Law Enforcement Agencies.

January 25, 2019, 72 year old Roger Stone, Republican political consultant since the '60's, was attacked by nearly 30 heavily armed FBI agents at 6:00 am, accompanied by a boat in the water behind his home. Manned by armed agents with floodlights.

September 23. 2023, pro-life activist Mark Houck's home was the target of a pre-dawn raid by near two dozen FBI and Pennsylvania Law enforcement agents, outfitted in tactical gear, armed with automatic weapons and a battering ram, arrested him, took him to a federal facility where he was belly chained and wrist shackled to a table for six hours.

August 9th, 2023, 75 year old Veteran from Provo, Utah, was attacked in his home by FBI agents who used an armored vehicle to punch a hole in his home, murdered him in his home and dragged his mangled body to the sidewalk, where it was left for hours.

March of this year, Brian Malinowski. Executive Director Clinton National Airport was murdered in his home by an ATF assault team.

The Leviathan is at war with the American people.
It is undeniable.

Because everything on the web and our interpretation of it is to be taken at face value now, so...

And, fvck you MAGA dupes if your only argument is against the source.

So, MAGA militia are threatening FEMA workers in NC, because...well, you do the math.
WTF?
(P.S. - it's on the web, so it's true.)

"On Saturday, FEMA workers had to halt their work in Rutherford County due to reports National Guard troops saw “armed militia” threatening the workers, CNN affiliate WBTV confirmed after reviewing messages sent to employees of a FEMA contractor. The threats were first reported by the Washington Post."
