Why Old Carville Thinks the Dems Lost

I don't necessarily disagree that everyone should have some base level of access. But access does not indicate a degree of quality. Can people truly not afford any level of child care or is it that they all want the Cadillac, but can only afford the Mitsubishi. Not to name posters, but I bet McMurty could find something less than $7k per month, but the quality may not be up to his standard.
I'd pay a lot of money to see McMurtry rolling up to 3UP in a Caddy.

For sure and luck is a big part. And when I said that to Cortez re some of our mutual buds they are charmed, but very smart and hardworking and likable too. Just fun normal good dudes. And no it’s not fair. I had a deal that I would have netted around 5 mil. Myself. On a business with potential but made peanuts. Two days before the final meeting Pritzker shut down Illinois. The company we were working with went into bankruptcy. That would have been life changing to get that at once. Obviously. But Covid. That’s luck. Super shitty luck. So we started from scratch. Again
One thing I've learned is it's sure better to be lucky than smart. Sometimes you can be too smart for your own good. :D

Luck does play a big part. Back before the tech implosion when everyone was making a killing in the market in the late 90s/very early 2000s, I got out of most the big tech names. Because I was smart? No.

We had our first kid and as my wife was a teacher, it made sense for her to stay home. I sold a bunch to build a new house and pay off car loans so she could be home for the next decade while the kids were young. Now that was luck.
 
Yeah, but damn that three years would be fun.
Be so so fun. And my partners would be living in the exact same houses driving the exact same cars going you’re so Fing stupid.

And I’d have a third stop on my Monday morning misery, which today started at 6:30 and ended at 10:30. I’m not even bothering going to the office.

Pissing down rain. Minion refused to get dressed. Finally bribe him with a baby bottle pop. The delay causes daughter to miss bus. Have to drive her which 1) puts me in the school line and 2) leaves me in the center of traffic to get my minion to school.

Right in the middle of traffic he goes DADA YOU GOT POO POO IN YO PANTS!!!! I go hahaha noooooo. YOU GOT POO POO IN YO PANTS!!!! And he paused a minute and goes. Yeah.

Fck me. Change at sbx. Takes 25 minutes to get my drink and his cake pop, which falls out of the bag in the parking lot. Left his raincoat in the bathroom there.

Turn on the street to school. He screams NO NO NO I GO TO OFFICE NOT SCHOOL!!!!! I drag his little ass in and flee. Both of us soaked from rain. I’ll tell ya this much. I guarantee I’ll have an incident report today bc someone is gonna have to pay for his morning

I will add tho that while the path is full of pit falls there is a clear path to financial success. Marriage. No divorces. Both spouses with careers. Earning.

Those are the days, my man. Drink it in. I miss them. My 17 year old wants nothing to do with me except when she wants something. I'm now fighting with my 14 year old about listening to shit rap music and those awful lyrics. He's quitting drumming because he didn't like the jazz club (god, that's a gut punch), and now pissed at me for forcing him to join an academic-minded club since he quit drums.

I miss when they were young and just full of love and fun and poop.

I know I hear ya. It’s fantastic. Sucks about yours. Exact same boat with my 14 year old daughter. Seems like it happened overnight. We were inseparable. Now I’m just an Uber for her and an annoyance with guidance she doesn’t want etc

I’m told they’ll come back. In their 20s
 
The poor in this country have no idea how good they have it. And if you don't believe me travel to India. Now I'm not saying that there aren't some seriously impoverished folks or people living in deplorable conditions. Could the state do more? Absolutely.

Ever done it, though?

It's liberating.

I've seen it in action while eating at a restaurant in goa. Someone taking a dump outside on the street. I've also seen someone urinating inside a moving public bus in South India

People who think they will serve as a counterweight to China have another one coming. The 2 countries aren't in the same stratosphere.

Your son sounds awesome. Look Brad, I hate to break it to you, but he's not a book reading socialist dork. He's a Dream Teamer. He's going to pull more arse than he knows what to do with. Buy the kid a gym pass and some grass fed beef. He'll take care of the rest. Stay Hard
