Black people are significantly more likely to have cardiac arrest than white people so I'm not surprised how much higher it is in football/basketball than hockey, which is also a demanding contact sport. Chris Bosh had to quit his NBA early, because of heart problems.

Yeah, but I'm older than AOC. We might fight it out in the primary.

I'm 33 and plan to get my 2nd booster tomorrow. Got a flight coming up and tend to get sick flying in the winter. With hundreds of millions vaccinated I don't see much risk in it.

I would think so. I don't believe Pelosi is still the Speaker so it's as if the Speaker were dead.

I remember lots of anti-vaxxers saying Hank Aaron died from the vaccine, because he died of "natural causes" a few weeks after he got it. Dude was 86 years old. People at that age tend to go. It's actually the same age Biden will be at the end of his second term if re-elected.

In practical terms this House won't do anything except cause disruption to the debt ceiling and funding the government.

Is Trump still a possibility for Speaker? That idea was floated around.

Lots of people wanted to know what would happen with the game and future games. I get that Hamlin's teammates care, his family cares, his friends care, etc. I get that they suspended the game, because of this. However, rhetoric like the only thing that matters is Darin Hamlin is nonsense. Most...

It's starting to become political. This issue crosses over with politics to me. I'm with Skip here. I don't share the "shut up and grieve" mentality lots of people have.

My guess is that Jordan gave that impassioned McCarthy speech, because he probably doesn't want to be the 2nd Republican Speaker of the House involved with molesting boys this century.

Third ballot here we come.

If he took the Lord's name in vain shouldn't that completely disqualify him to the God fearing/family values party? It's the 2nd Commandment after all.

I think this begs the question...who gets to decide what can be talked about and when can it be talked about when a tragedy happens? Morally speaking, who gets to be the arbitrator of all this?

https://nypost.com/2023/01/03/skip-bayless-tweets-about-damar-hamlin-anger-nfl-players-and-analysts/ So...I watched the game last night. I don't think Skip did anything wrong. This is what he wrote: “No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game – but how?” Bayless tweeted as...

I mean, I'm using the United States as the benchmark as it was the best performer over the past decade. It also holds the world's reserve currency. It has the largest financial market in the world. Using the States as my benchmark, I'm looking for places to beat it. Europe, China, and India are...

They're going to be more dependent on international recruits. The United States has more options from within. The makeup of a city like NYC will shift faster than the makeup of the whole country. A guy from Alabama might go work in NYC for a couple of years and be replaced by a guy from...

https://www.expertmarket.com/uk/crm-systems/the-ultimate-guide-to-work-place-productivity The Swiss work less than Americans (1767 vs. 1495 hours worked), but that doesn't mean they're less productive. Swiss people are more highly educated than Americans and are more likely to work in more...

The United States does something interesting that only Eritrea does besides them. Citizen-based taxation. So people in other countries are free to move to tax havens like Dubai and pay no taxes. I wonder how much that prevents Americans from moving around the world to setup businesses where they...

Switzerland has the highest number of patents and Nobel Prize winners per capita. I guess the challenges Switzerland has is to scale a company like the big tech companies can do in the United States with only 8 million in population compared to 340 million.
