What should judges do/what is the law from the view of Hayek and Leoni

For @CO. Hoosier and @crazed_hoosier2 , you might enjoy this podcast and subject matter:


Hayek said he owed his theories regarding law to Leoni. Hayek and Leoni, these two economists say, thought that when a judge applied a law, he should not be looking for the original meaning of that law's language as of the time of its passage (originalism) but instead the expected behavior or expectations of people in the particular situation at issue, in the given geographical and economic positions. Very interesting and very different than what we typically think of as a judge's job here in the US, but within it are some really interesting insights.

I'd also suggest this article comparing and contrasting Posner to Hayek. Posner, too, was a critic of originalism and a proponent of (some would say the primary creator of) the Law & Economics movement:

Coach Cig, the Pat Mcafee Show.

So a guy on Pats staff asks him about the travel out west and goin out on Thursday. How he was the only person to win going out west so far.

Cig goes, ya glad you asked that. We had some nerds on staff talking about we need to go out early on Thursday blah blah blah. I said no no no. We are doing our walk through Friday morning getting on a plane and getting there as late as possible. Not a big hotel guy. So that’s what we did. Got there at 8, had a nice meal, went to bed. Got up kicked their ass and got on a plane and came home.



Wow. What a dude. I’ll be at the rock, all in on this guy.

Hoosier Hysteria B10+ TV coverage questions....

I subscribed to B10+ on a cut rate deal about a month ago and haven't watched anything yet. I have VIP seating passes for Hoosier Hysteria but am thinking that I'd prefer to just stay home and watch it. My questions are:

1) Can I set it to record so that I can watch it after it starts at 7:30?

2) If not, if I join it live after 7:30 can I rewind to the beginning?

3) If not, are all B10+ shows available for viewing after the live broadcast is completed? And, if so, are programs available immediately or is there a significant lag before viewing is supported?

4) if not, why the hell did I subscribe to this s**t show? LOL

I've already discovered that smart TV platforms don't support downloading the app but I have a few Roku and Firestick options available for that.

Really just wanting to meet a friend for dinner and then head to the house to watch HH and don't want to be time pressured to be home by 7:30.

Anybody out there with B10+ experience?

Thanks!

US economy is the envy of the world

  • Annual inflation is now down to 2.4%, prompting the Fed to start lowering interest rates which will help businesses, credit card holders and home buyers.
  • Unemployment rate is at a low 4.1%.
  • S&P 500 stock index is up more than 20% this year.
  • GDP growth is a robust 3%.

Parking pass

Haven’t been to FB game in a few years. Making the 570 mile trip this weekend as my wife wanted to visit her parents in Muncie and this was her coast for me making the trip with her. Parking passes on SeatGeek are $200+ everywhere. What’s the status for driving in and getting same day parking without a pass. Don’t care about a long walk as weather is going to be great so where is the best location?!

Will Kamala ever answer a question?

My goodness...

Asked baout fixing the economy...

"I was born middle class.....people cared about their lawns.. Firefighters and construction workers were my neighbors...."

Ok....Ummm.......

Asked her plan on lowering the cost of living....

Harris---"Its a story I hear as I travel around the ocuntry. Having right and dreams, ambitions for you family...That its fare more elusive than its ever been, and we need to del with that...Gonna take on price gouging......grew up the daughter of a hard working mom.....BOught a house when she was a teenager...Gonna give out $25K for first time home buyer(which didnt help the people who asked the question---they alrady had a home---anyways...) Gonna give $50K tax deduction for start up business---small business....which higher local(who doesnt hire locally?)---Her momma friend was a small business owner, so she loves those kinds of peeps---was her second mom...

Do wut???




Then about the border: "Tahts a wonderful question-----talks about her being a prosecutor---elected AG... How its not theoritcal situation...Takes it very seriously.....How Trump killed their Border security bill.....Yadda, yadda, yadda....Finally Oprah ask, "so to answer Justins question....."---As which KH says, "When elected, I will introduce the bill, and when it gets to my desk, I will sign into law..."

Sure, Kamala. If thats all it takes, why didnt Joe simply do that?

Asked how she would have handled border crisis better than Joe...

"So I‘m the only person on this stage who has prosecuted transnational criminal organizations for the trafficking of guns, drugs, and human beings."

Ok, great------Not the quetion, though.

Asked how she would breakthrough the Hamas-Israel war....

"We need a ceasefire deal and we need the hostages out, and so we will continue to work around the clock on that," Harri said.

Ya, think? And, well, HOW?---Again, NOT the question.

When asked how she makes her cereal....

"well you see, I have a garden....Full of good stuff. My neighbor had a garden, and well, it was a big garden....:cool::cool:

Can she just give a direct answer? And yes, I know---DJT is just as guilty. But at least he gives an answer on the economy...the border...Hamas, etc...

Good gracious----Even Oprah was like---"da ****"?

Hay Jeopardy! nerds

So they are wrapping up Alex's last shows at the beginning of the year, then we move to an endless rotation of guest hosts before they name someone. Apparently, everyone's "lock" Ken Jennings has been making an ass of himself. I guess he made the mistake of spending the last ten years saying things that were funny*, and that's coming back to bite him in the ass. Then today there is something going on with some guy named "Bean Dad," and I swear to God I don't think I even want to understand this nonsense.

But if Ken flames out, my guy is still sitting there ready to go. I'm saying LeVar Burton for the next Jeopardy! host.

* I mod the AOTF, so I'm probably not a very good judge of appropriateness.

For all of the remote workers on here

So, I started a new job last week. I had been a traditional in office working stiff most of my career. Post Covid, I was hybrid, but 3 days in office per week.

Now, I’m totally remote working with people from all over the globe. My question, what are some tips you can offer to: stay connected, not go crazy, get in more steps each day, etc? I know it will be an adjustment, but I want to get into some solid routines, especially before the weather goes to shiite.

Trump and MAGA spirals into a vortex of self pity, victimhood and utter unaccountability, and the GOP is fine w it.

The only question now is: are we all going to get flushed down this America-hating, Russia/Turkey/Hungary-loving bizzarro world along w MAGA?

How does the GOP not see what has become so painfully obvious to us all?

Fellas, we gotta aspire for more than "owning the woke mob" and vindicating a convicted felon/election usurper.

This is your and our last off-ramp. This election, fellas. You're still a man even if you dislike Trump. Don't fall for his macho bullshit, fellas. A real man defends those who have nobody to defend them. A real man does NOT jump on a bully train full of UFC fighters and pro wrestlers to help a dickhead like Trump. A real man calls those big studs out for "manning up" (lol) and flexing on the little ones.

Surely some of you have kids and understand the effect Trumpism bestows on our young people? Do any of you ever wonder what your Jesus thinks about this?

Trump's gonna win, guys. Unless you do the honorable and decent thing, that is. I'm not asking you to become a liberal. Nor a Dem. I'm just pleading w you to finally rid us of this cancer. It's up to you guys.

You wanna see Zelensky get captured or killed and for Russian to move Westward? The rise of the right worldwide always correlates with worldwide combat. You want you son fighting for this? For Trump?

I want my kids fighting for the same things my grandfather stormed Utah Beach over: democracy and anti-fascism.

Remember that?
