@JordanReffett 7 drafted and Quinton Moore and Grady Gross UDA’s! I remember back in DJ era the Dawgs were one of the top schools across the NFL rosters and we will be there very shortly with the program Jedd is building!

Anterior Thompson coming to Washington and getting drafted in the 6th round without being invited to the combine is pretty impressive......Dawgs are for real!

Perfect case study of how regulation that claims to rein in the biggest companies actually protects them. Many such cases. A constant threat.

truly one of the most amazing developments in trans-Atlantic tech policy over the past 20 years is the way that Europe set out to regulate US tech giants into the ground, but only made them more dominant as a result. This Economist headline really says it.

@RefuseToLosePod I am not sold on Rivas. I do not think his defense is a plus. While versatile, I feel like his size has been a negative on multiple plays. His offense is an obvious issue.
English

In all seriousness:
1) The #Mariners are being hurt by their injury situation. This roster is designed to have Raley/Canzone vs. RHP and Robles/Ref vs. LHP. If the other platoon comes in late and then *SHOULD* be removed again after that, Rivas is supposed to be a catch-all bench bat to help neutralize things. The injury situation, plus the injury to Donovan, makes that an impossibility.
They need to get to a spot where they have additional bench options to counter some of these moves.
2) The mid-relief is a problem, as has been some of the pivot leverage positions. This team misses Carlos Vargas and his ability to throw the fifth or sixth, and throw multiple innings.

@drichard99 @bungarsargon The Public policy you are enacting is literally eliminating my ability to participate in public life.

About to go live with @bungarsargon talking about if the Democrats have turned on Israel.
They have, so I guess the next question is if the Islamoleftists are good for the party.

@BriannaWu @bungarsargon Well I can truly say I am a Republican and I never have carried any belief like that towards anyone. I believe in the devine spirit in everyone. Wishing you all the best and respect for having a very good conversation. Please, understand we are so much more than politics.

@ThomasSowell How can someone that intelligent be that dumb. The only explanation is he lives in academia and has made a living off of the government and policy discussions. I will take Thomas Sowell 100 out of 100 times over him!

@RefuseToLosePod I was just thinking the same thing. Dan is a bit over committed to the R/L situations. Raley has the most hits and swinging a hit bat!!

I had a plan in my head for tomorrow's Refuse to Lose, now I have to have a different plan to insert Luke Raley vs. Connor Joe talk lol.
See you tomorrow. 6 am ET, 3 am PT, episode will be out.

@Knesix @bungarsargon Don’t forget the state taxes in many states based on poor green energy policies. Keep in mind, a tax on energy is a tax on the poor. There are many states below $4 right now, they just don’t unfairly tax their citizens.

"If America produces more oil than anyone, why is gas four dollars?"
Great question. Allow me to ruin the comforting idea that "the oil industry" is one big thing that could simply decide to give you cheaper gas if it wanted to.
What most people don't know is that "the oil industry" is in fact three completely different businesses between the ground and your gas tank:
1) The drilling company pulls crude oil out of the earth.
2) The refinery, which is a DIFFERENT company, buys that crude from the driller and cooks it into gasoline.
3) The gas station buys that gasoline from the refinery and sells it to you.
Three separate businesses, three markups. Each one passing the cost to the next guy in line.
When global oil prices spike, the driller charges more because crude always trades at *global* prices. The refinery then has to pay more for that crude. The gas station pays more for that gasoline. You pay more at the pump. That is the chain, and you are at the end of it.
Now, there's a silver lining to this. That chain is also pouring money into the American economy at a scale that is hard to overstate.
Eleven million jobs. Not just roughnecks. Truck drivers, welders, engineers, port workers, accountants, you name it. We're talking about Two trillion dollars in GDP, which is roughly 8% of the entire American economy. Five hundred and seventy billion in taxes in a single year. That goes to schools, hospitals, roads, fire departments and more.
And every barrel sold to Japan or Germany or South Korea is a barrel that USED to be sold by Saudi Arabia or Russia or Iran. That money used to leave America. Now it comes in.
Four dollars a gallon hurts. But the money is not vanishing into the atmosphere. It is cycling through American towns, American jobs, and American tax revenue.
And the countries buying American crude now depend on Washington, not Moscow and much less Tehran.
American oil is no longer just a product. It has become a bond between countries.
The pain is real, but will be temporary.

@AriFleischer @MZHemingway Their Editors are the man/woman on the street interviewees who can’t answer basic questions! I am sure they are tired of the Strait of Hormuz and want to support the Gay of Hormuz too!

The NYT should release the names of every editor who read this and did not correct it. They have multiple layers of editors, especially for the print publication.
That’s what the NYT would demand when the government makes a bad mistake.
They should live up to the same standard.

A NYC school teacher has a GREAT idea for billionaires leaving New York. 🤣🙄
He suggests that if the billion dollar companies leave then the regular folks should just take over their businesses.
Journalist: “What do you say to the folks who say, if you tax millionaires, they're going to leave the city and the top 1% pays 40% of the taxes in the city. What happens if they leave? What's your response?”
NYC Teacher: “We should take their business and we run it for the city ourselves.” 🤡
Journalist: “They take their business to Florida, you feel like you can keep it here?”
NYC Teacher: “They can't leave the building. They can't just bring their whole entire workforce to Florida. Right?
They can't bring all of the resources that they have to build the business here to Florida. Thats where you would say we're building a real movement, right?”
“To stop that, we’d make it illegal for them to actually leave. We would find them to hell if they're gonna try to abandon their property here. Because clearly people do need to work, right? People do need to make a living.”
Are they really all this stupid??
