Better stock up on lumber if you build anything. The price of housing will be more expensive.

Here is what Congressional Research Service thinks of the tariffs impact on imported oil from Canada and Mexico. Canada should stop selling us oil at discounted prices. Trump country will pay more for gas. This is really stupid but stupid votes for stupid.

Let them pay more, they like it that way. I walked around Walmart today and the place was filled with low income white Trumpers buying imported products. They voted to pay more and they will.

Reminds me of Grampa Simpson talking to Homer: “When I was your age, I was with it. Then somebody changed IT and now IT isn’t what I’m with.”

Immediately politicizing tragedies happens every time here on PPP! Let’s make a new rule to stop it. Who is signing up for that?

Agree since Fox only has a certain segment of the public, but I’ll add social media as another large scale factor in promoting mistrust.

20 or 30 years ago, if there was a pandemic, do you think that political affiliation would be a determining factor in how people would have responded to the recommendations by medical experts? I don’t believe so. Operation Warp Speed was actually a great thing that Trump did. Rapid development of the vaccines saved lives. Dems praised the vaccines and had vaccine mandates. Well that automatically meant that republicans had to be against them. It was the perfect us vs them, red vs. blue drama fueled by the polarization of our society caused by our addiction to social media. Media on all sides were happy to play their part to increase viewership and corporate profits. Big pharma obviously also profited but at least they were providing what society needed. Yes, public officials didn’t always model perfect behavior. No one did. But that wasn’t done in pursuit of corporate profits. Fox deliberately and repeatedly spread misinformation and people died. They lied to increase corporate profits, same as they did with Dominion voting machines lies. A relative of mine worked in a hospital and talks of people who refused the vax due to mistrust but when they were sick enough to be in the hospital, they wanted every type of modern medicine and Covid therapy to save their sorry ass. It makes no sense. Vaccines and modern medicine have been a miracle for human society. Trump himself had his life saved due to the new Covid medicines. We can thank many nameless scientists for us not being terrified of small pox, polio, measles etc. Americans have been spoiled into idiocy. We have lived such comfortable, worry free lives for so long that we have forgotten that bad s##t can happen. People don’t even know what these diseases are. Pandemics are real. Viruses continue to mutate, looking for ways to find new hosts. Many choose to believe Joe Rogan and other social media stars over scientists and medical experts. RFK jr will soon be leading health care in America. Measles, polio, diphtheria, smallpox and their friends are celebrating. Maybe Americans need to sacrifice their children to relearn some lessons from the past. On the other hand, I’m all for RFK jr if he can help reduce the obesity rate in America.

Just like all the Fox News talking heads who got vaccinated and then went on the air to spread their lies. Sadly, I knew two people who should be alive today but were convinced by Fox liars to not get vaccinated. They paid the price.

I’m frustrated. We are so close, yet not quite there. At this point, I hope KC wins the SB with the help of some BS calls by the refs to make it plain to everyone how the NFL operates. Hopefully there is declining tv ratings showing the NFL that everyone is tired of their product. Maybe then, the refs will call holding or some other subjective call on the Chiefs, like they do to every other team.

This 100%. When you are playing the best of the best, you have to be prepared for them stopping your core offensive plays. You have to bring something different that the opponent hasn’t seen on film study. KC does this all the time. They have creative offensive and defensive coordinators which is why they are the best and then they run those plays at critical moments of the game. McDermott’s philosophy always seems to be that “this is what we do and are great at, so try to stop us”. And then a real good/great team is prepared and stops it. There never seems to be anything new unleashed in the playoffs.

On the last drive a KC player made a great play knocking our pass down. Credit to the defense. KCs D also was the first to stop Allen in short yardage this year. I wish Brady had an alternate play to run out of our short yardage look. The KC D was ready and able for the Allen sneak all night. When everyone knows and expects the sneak, you need another play. Refs gave the chiefs all the borderline calls, as expected. Kincaid should have caught that last pass. Other than Cook and Mac, the offense was ok but didn’t play great to help out Josh. Looking back, I think they didn’t use Cook enough tonight. He should have gotten the ball in space on some of those short yardage plays. In my mind, that was the difference.

This loss hurts so much less than the others. Maybe I’ve just got so much scar tissue, it doesn’t hurt anymore. In retrospect, our team exceeded expectations this year. This was supposed to be a rebuilding year. Next year Bean has some money to work with and 10 draft picks. I don’t care about the superbowl.

Too many deep passes by Josh

Benford is out. Didn’t look good

Wonderful. Trump picks only the best alcoholic to a nice low stress position as being in charge of our military and nuclear arms. I’m sure there is no one more qualified to lead the largest agency in the world deciding how to respond to the daily threats US interests face. Now we all have to hope that the pressure and stress of life or death consequences from his decisions don’t make him return to the bottle. On the bright side, his manly features look like he came out of central casting for the position. I guess this is what winning looks like. Let’s hope this ends well.

The orange idiot will solve all problems when he issues his executive order to open the valves and send unlimited water from the Pacific Northwest and Canada down to SoCal. What an idiot!

Another example of I’d rather have a great offense than a great defense, though the Bills D was great tonight, and the offense did just enough.

Amazing D game plan by McDermott. The best of the season so far.

Lamar is amazing. I don’t think he deserved the MVP last year, but that’s not his fault. He fits Baltimore. Josh fits Buffalo. I’m thrilled we have Josh. Josh has to deal with the small market anti media bias against him but F em all. The vote calling Josh the most overrated player was ridiculous. If we can win just one, the entire narrative will change.

That was a real KC style win. I’ll take it

Football gods are with us today

Needed to tush push with a heavy package there

I don’t feel great about that even though we got the 3

Crap offense coming out of half killing us now
