Simon with a 64 yd TD run. They said he stepped out at the 10. Replays show that was a big fat ‘No.’

If you’re asking me, the Teacher’s Unions & Randi Weingarten politicized the CDC worse than any one. They saw to it that all credibility was lost. When CDC never corrected the 6 foot rule, and let the Teacher’s Unions dictate policy, it became a disaster. I seem to remember Trump & DeVos actually saying they would withhold funding from schools that didn’t reopen. But, Weingarten and her TDS ilk in the other unions threw a hissy fit, and that was that. So, basically liberal idiots that cared nothing about kids used politics to destroy a lot of people’s faith in our scientific organizations, and the CDC nor AAP corrected them, even though they both recommended 3 feet & reopening schools.

Yeah… Not sure about the ‘best receiver in the district’ description. Some Jammers in Angleton might also have something to say about it. [Hidden Content]

Game Day! Dawgs need a win to keep pace with Angleton & Crosby. Go Dawgs!

Agree. KP ain't no Klein Collins.

Still not sure how she got confirmed...

Solid win in all 3 phases. After the late TO, and giving Kempner a chance to break up the shut out, then stopping them with an INT in the end zone to keep the blank showed great defensive effort and determination right to the end when you could have just said 'whatever'. Crosby has continually improved all season, and is really looking dangerous. I know it's Kempner. But, still solid play. Didn't mail it in. Any time you can get a shut out, it's a great effort. Congrats Cougs!

Angleton looked really good. Just not sure you still need your first team in with 3:00 left in the 3rd up 60-6. If trying new plays, that's one thing. But, they weren't. Still running same plays. Don't know what more you're learning at that point. Running another flea-flicker in the 4th when you'd already run it successfully earlier in the game? I dunno...maybe it's just me. Congrats on the win though!

Angleton still throwing flea flickers. Lol !!:67/13/4/6/50

Angleton finally puts 2nd team in.

Surprised Angleton’s 1st team is still in mid 3rd.

Q. Maybe the best thing to come out of this shutdown? A. The Fed may actually have to use more accurate, private sector data for their next meeting.

Agree. This money could be better spent elsewhere. Nothing but political bribery.

We're talking public sector/government civil service sector here. None of what you mention has anything to do with that...as usual. But, you love red herrings, don't you?

Air traffic controllers in this country aren’t all federal employees. There’s also a good case to be made that ATC’s should be employed by private, non-profit firms that are compensated by the airlines, airport systems, and other users of their services. The military has personnel that you couldn’t dream of—in numbers that would astound you—that are private contractors. They operate in areas that rarely make the news. If they make the news, someone poached the goat. Yes. When you confiscate money from the creators, and give it to a government entity to then redistribute, you lose efficiency, and it is a drain on the economy. Period. Zero sum. Now, how much loss vs. possible payback is an ROI question that is use dependent. Very few functions that are now civil service/government employees were always that way. The government encroached, and took them over. Followed shortly by the unions to make them almost untouchable. Most civil service jobs began as private functions.

I think I would change this to 'if the state governments/local authorities were allowed..."

From my reading, the limitations on repayment to try and reduce cost, coupled with medical professional shortages, forced hospital systems to create secondary care outlets that didn’t have the overhead costs of the main system. Most of the ‘urgent care’ facilities are actually owned by either insurance companies, or larger hospital conglomerates. In La Porte, all of our local, private doctors were bought up by United Healthcare. Obviously, they then limit the insurance accepted. Not a fan of insurance companies buying up all the medical practices.

We schedule things for my wife all the time that way. That's just smart economics--if you physically can afford to do so. There are many simple things that shouldn't be as difficult as they are. Prescription renewals during hurricane season. If you're running low, and want to make sure you have a supply in case you're unable to get renewals due to storm effects, insurance still won't allow refills early. Our healthcare system is a mess, and ACA didn't fix anything except pre-existing conditions. As I've said, there were better ways to handle things. But, the push was on for single payer. I'm beginning to think single payer would be preferable to the mess we have now. You don't hear many griping that are on Medicare. (Except for the sometimes confusing paperwork/approval process.) I still don't agree with young people being able to stay on their parent's plan until they're 26. But, that's just me, and my son is grown. So, that is a lesser concern to me. To others, it means more. I always said ACA wasn't about actual healthcare. It was a payoff to insurance companies/lobbies to move towards single payer, and stay in their good graces for political purposes and political donations. I still think that. My dad had some things he would have preferred where he had to have a 'lesser' procedure--or medical device--because of cost, and Medicare wouldn't pay for the more expensive desire. But, for the most part, he was never denied any critical treatment for his cancer or anything else.
