it’s really tough to be good at something when you’re scared of the main requirement of said thing.

A real doog goes and rewatches the Josh Pate 2024 Sugar Bowl reaction, video but this guy has always kind of been high on UW the last couple of years:

Re: Rules for Doogin’
I learned a couple of weeks ago in a beer garden that the Rules for Quooking dictates that you talk about 12-0, then skip straight to "2 fluke years of Penix" but then you qualify that entire butthurt diatribe by saying that you were there in person for 70-21 so you really know what you're talking about.

Rogue RiverDo people inner the Rogue much @DerekJohnson ? I never thought of it as a "lazy river" but more of a spot for whitewater activities.

Re: Tariffs Worked “Spectacularly Well”
Immigration is deflationary if you just look at wage levels. Which is why the US Chamber of Commerce is for massive illegal and legal immigration. Wages are depressed but the true costs of immigration are off loaded to the US taxpayers whose wages are depressed. Paying for health care, education, clothing, housing, food and imprisonment are all inflationary. There is a huge net cost for importing poorly educated non-english speaking foreigners.

Re: Tariffs Worked “Spectacularly Well”
Econ does say that. Some will try to pass 100%, it won’t go well for them. My argument all along has been that where there is competition and substitutes, and non urgent decision timelines, your cost of inventory is pretty irrelevant to consumer prices. Most business will cut admin and marketing before they raise consumer prices. In the end this will all be pretty immaterial to aggregate prices because of that.
Bringing in 10m+ illegals who largely don’t work and just consume with printed is far more inflationary than tariffs. Things like food and rent. Even though AOG can find a million academic papers that say immigration is deflationary.
