Actually, Russia was left off.

Meanwhile at Heard and McDonald Islands

So Donald Trump is qualified to take the world economy into the "2nd step" of a global financial reset?

Do you need one compared to this? If I drive drunk and crash into a tree does it make it better that I planned on doing it or was I better off staying at home and ultimately watching TV because I didn't know what I wanted to do?

I'm not an economist. Wouldn't pretend to be. This is a global economy with so many nuisances it's virtually impossible for the normal person to understand the full implications of everything that will happen from this. When it comes to situations I can grasp more clearly but are still very complicated, especially when the stakes are high, I'm cautious. If I can't see what's around the corner then it's not very safe to slam the gas pedal. I would expect the same behavior from the president of the United States when it comes to our livelihood. What Trump has done with this is unconscionable. This is the most powerful country in the world, the most wealthy, still economically positioned better than the majority of the countries in the world. He decided to take an action that has the potential to have catastrophic consequences on the US. It wasn't a situation with the US on the brink of war or being forced to make a move so drastic. He did so as if this move would have no risk and only reward. It's beyond short sited, especially when all the leading experts are throwing caution to the wind.

I'm going to rob a bank. Before I rob the bank, I'm going to say, watch this, in the coming weeks people will be complaining of money being stolen and theft. They just don't understand the greater purpose of why we are robbing the bank. Then people like yourself, who struggle with independent considerations, can go see, my leader told me this would happen and yes, it's happening. My leader was right. I imagine you would win a race to the Kool-aid

We are looking at a limit down in the stock market. Which we haven't seen since Covid.

You need to use a somewhat complete sentence when you speak for people to understand what you're saying.

Now we have it. The justification for all of us having to deal with a tanking stock market, increased unemployment, inflation, and higher costs. Trump had to do because of the mistakes the left made. Perfect..... Here is the thing, this single decision is going to cost you the next election. Nobody besides his most faithful will put up with this. The stock market is looking at a limit down. The cascade of his actions will directly impact all of us. Even if what you said was true, which it isn't, or mattered, which it doesn't, you think Americans want to mortgage the current for the future? That is to say if this asinine plan even would work. Do you think Trump would have been elected if he ran on this platform?

I went to college, can you translate this for me?

So we will not pay more money for the basic things we need as a result of this?

You're giving him too much credit

I will draft hurt players and Travis Etienne. I’m good for the $50. I stayed married 7 years longer than I should so I’m committed.

Sounds process-ee

You can't even get a tug from a handless woman for $100 nowadays

We have cornered the market on the status quo. Depending on how you view the status quo depends on your view of the offseason.

I would be interested.

On returns the average drive start was the 30.1 yard line. Very few reasons exist to give a team 5 yards because you're scared. The math says don't kick into a touchback and usually the math wins (eventually).

Really not the best look. He says it’s about safety, but then says the jury is still out on that. Then says all he does is in the best interest of player safety but follows with we would still run it if it’s legal. Not sure why he approached it this way.

His supporters are growing quiet and incapable of defending this insanity. If they do try it’s certainly not with logic shared by the most educated on the subject. Meanwhile this topic will define his presidency. It’s what he focuses on most, talks about most, and will impact us the most. Most Americans in polling are already saying he needs to focus on other things.

Is he in Jonathan Taylors class? Taylor demanded a trade, held out, did everything other than punch the owner in the mouth and walked away with 14 million per year. Perhaps not.... How about Josh Jacobs, who would not get paid by the Raiders, left via FA and now makes 12 million per year? Aaron Jones level, 10 million? These deals were done last year, with less cap and more age on all these guys. If I'm Cook, 15 is the number. He's younger, the cap is bigger, that's the going rate. I'm certainly not going to take a team friendly deal on a contract that has me in the 8-10 million range, which will arguably be underpaid as a top 5 RB in very short amount of time. Now would I pay it? No. But this talk about him not doing it the right way is dumb. Somebody will pay him that money if he still has his health after this season. So be it if it's not us.

What am I assuming exactly? That Beane wasn't going to pay him what he wanted? That isn't a stretch. That this will work out just fine for Cook? Again, not a stretch. That Cook is posturing? Again, not a stretch. Vs the bulk of the board saying Cook is money hungry, selfish, and not a team player as a result of this, are they not "assuming" as much or more than I am with such an outlook?
