Or he just meant the gov would pay for everything that insurance doesn't cover.
Or he has dementia and you're trying way too hard to read into his comments lol
I really thought Davis was done after that year he didn't show up for the Iowa game, but he got another year.
I remember one year (may have been the same year), we played O$U in the Big Ten Tournament and we got down big in the first half. Like, really big. Davis put in all subs, with only Bracey still in, and we came back to win the game.
At the press conference, Davis said he'd learned a lesson and that he wasn't just going to play starters all the time, or something to that effect. Well, sure as shit, he started every regular starter that year and got pounded.
He was not exactly a fast learner.
I like Davis - he was like the guy who just lucked into a #1 job and money. A Walter Mitty character, if there ever was one. And one other thing I liked about him - he hate Kentucky just as much as we did. Oh, and he owned Purdue - I guess that's 2 reasons.
Now I’ve read that and see they have basic engineering plant with no propulsion redundancy. They do have electrical power redundancy. Don’t know what kind of control system they have, but it’s got to be electronic or control air, which we had on my third ship as Chief Engineer Officer. Loss of control air shouldn’t cause loss of propulsion and generator engines. A main fuel valve could have failed shut and that would have caused all the engines to shut down. Bad fuel could have caused it too. Could be something else, but nothing else is coming to mind and won’t since I don’t really know the plant.The Dali was powered by a single diesel. Looks to me like it was not a diesel/electric system. No backups. Engine failure? Fuel issue?

And people wonder why i have trust issues.
Should only be Puma or Adidas. It's a travesty.
*had
FIFY
Daughter decided to play basketball when we moved to Bloomington...wanted Adidas shoes.
Could find nothing plain/decent in town, so grabbed her some plain black Nike's.
She refused to wear them. "No way!"
This was kinda during the Kapernick backlash, so I asked her "not to get political"...as a 7 year old.
Her response was that Purdue wore Nike, and the Hoosiers wore Adidas, and that the boys at Purdue called her a bitch at the Bucket game when they made a first down, so she hated Purdue, and Nike...
"Welcome to Indiana Football". 😄

Wow, had no idea. Very little footage gets show of the horses in regards to supply lines, etc. in the documentaries I've watched (e.g., WWII in Color), unless I'm missing it.

Yikes, is this VPR or IUBB? They're starting to become one in the same...
WW2 from the Frontlines on Netflix. Showed a lot of horse footage. Was shocking to see, but even more shocking to read that link. 6M horses is mind boggling.Wow, had no idea.

Horses in World War II - Wikipedia
There a scene in Band of Brothers where Webster is in the back of a truck heading one direction while surrendered Germans are headed the other way in horse drawn wagons. He stands and berates them about bringing horses to war and tells them to say hello to Ford.
We should provide updated under armor tracksuits to our Slav ally special forces
But only the fake ones they’re just slapping labels on.
I don't recall that, but it's been a long time. Ironically, Ford actually provided Ze Germans with plenty of critical vehicles.
Moreover, Ford’s cooperation with the Nazis continued until at least August 1942–eight months after the United States entered the war–through its properties in Vichy France. Indeed, a secret wartime report prepared by the US Treasury Department concluded that the Ford family sought to further its business interests by encouraging Ford of France executives to work with German officials overseeing the occupation. “There would seem to be at least a tacit acceptance by [Henry Ford’s son] Mr. Edsel Ford of the reliance…on the known neutrality of the Ford family as a basis of receipt of favors from the German Reich,” it says.
Ford vehicles were crucial to the revolutionary Nazi military strategy of blitzkrieg. Of the 350,000 trucks used by the motorized German Army as of 1942, roughly one-third were Ford-made. The Schneider report states that when American troops reached the European theater, “Ford trucks prominently present in the supply lines of the Wehrmacht were understandably an unpleasant sight to men in our Army.” Indeed, the Cologne plant proved to be so important to the Reich’s war effort that the Allies bombed it on several occasions. A secret 1944 US Air Force “Target Information Sheet” on the factory said that for the previous five years it had been “geared for war production on a high level.”
Some American...
I wonder if this is where the slogan "I'd rather push a Chevy than drive a Ford" came from?
Anyone who tries to use this tragedy as a political point is a douchenugget.
It’s also an example of why trickle down economics is reality and it works for the benefit of unskilled labor.
I know that. All the economic benefits coming to unskilled migrants is an example of trickle down economics which the Democrats keep saying can’t work, but common sense tells us it works, has always worked and always will work.
I get what you’re saying and that is definitely worth debating but has nothing to do with the position Cato lays out. He seems to be advocating for a “policy”based on national origin.
I know. But since we went down the border rabbit hole in a thread about the bridge disaster, I figured we might as well also go down the trickle-down economics rabbit hole.
Looking deliberate and BEING deliberate are two very different things.
Or he was trying to make a point that many immigrants take the jobs that Americans don’t want. Not stealing the jobs that Americans are fighting over.
It’s funny how you don’t know what’s going to trigger it until it happens. I’ve had drinks sitting in balcony, but I can’t imagine actually being drunk sitting up there. I’d need Dramamine now!
Libertarians always lose me with their autistic insensitivity. And the idea that Libertarians must necessarily be committed to open borders is incorrect as the Mises institute stakes out.
What job were the non-citizens doing? Who is the employer?
You implied it was a shitty job. Working for the state is not usually seen that way. I guess from your ivory tower you may see it that way.
Your original statement is not a feature
Why would unemployed, American-born Baltimore urbanites not be fighting for those jobs?
It is still way to early in the investigation to rule out most options.
Think of every city in America that’s F’d up and Brandon Scott is the mayor
In the middle of the night shift? Yeah that doesn’t seem like a great job to me. Ivory tower? Lol sure thing
So….you are for a system that results in structural discrimination against noncitizens?
Once again….open borders is not a feature
