UTV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's a lot of choices, brah

Everywhere is within walking distance if you care enough.

In the United States, child labor ended with the Great Depression because adults began to do the jobs that had traditionally been done by children. But prior to that, it was unions that were the main champion of worker's rights, and many of those unions were Socialist and Communist. They got many things wrong, but not their advocacy of basic workers rights. Capitalism by it's very nature does not ethically adjust itself to the times, it was the effort of people fighting the machinery of unbridled capitalism that brought about progressive labor laws that just seem normal to us today.

The Fed is now essentially an arm of Wall St and has been for years. Loose regulation and pure corruption allowed for this. CEOs of major banks end up as Fed Chairmen and top White House advisors, no conflict of interest there! The crash was brought about by predatory mortgage lending and then the piggybacking off the inevitable defaults by traders, all brought to you by lax regulation and minimal oversight and accountability. To a degree I concur with you about the Fed, but the horrifying thing is that The Fed, for all intents and purposes, IS WALL ST. If a sound regulatory apparatus was in effect, codified and honored, they might not have run wild like they did. Or at least now they'd be in prison, not in their mansions in Connecticut.

Nope, you can find gems in later rounds (Tom Brady, 7th round), and total wasters in the first round, sometimes with the first pick. Look up Ryan Leaf, he was drafted #2 after Peyton Manning. Huge contract, now he robs houses for painkillers.

Independent Yes!.. Er... No!... Er... What? Snorting alcohol sounds strange...don't get me wrong I'd definitely try it but it just seems like a weird idea to me I can't imagine sniffing alcohol powder feels good at all, in fact it probably burns the mucus membrane of your nostrils right off

So, I've taken some initial steps to starting my own business, it'll be a specialty beer retail store in a high foot traffic tourist area in a gentrifying town. High end American craft beers and quality European imports. Bi-weekly in store beer tastings, demos by local brewers, etc. Bit of a roll of the dice, but nothing ventured, as they say. I'll be sure to hang the Villa scarf up somewhere in there : )

It's beautiful in theory, but all we have to do is look at the banking and investment sector to see that unregulated industry leads directly to the opposite outcome you posit. Without government "interference" in the free market, 12 year olds would still be in the coal mines. The trick is striking a equitable balance, which is always a struggle at best. But giving the key to the castle to a bunch of fat cats and expecting them to be the arbiters of social justice is pure fantasy. Of course, now that those same fat cats hold high level government positions, it's all but a moot point.

Weirdest offseason in a long time

getting put on hold or having a call transferred and then your call gets dropped idiots

The sad thing about The Wire is that it will ultimately seem very dated, because it was so topical to the times on so many levels. The "realism" that made it so intense will be the very thing that sort of spoils it 15-20 years from now. Or maybe I'm just a cynical bastard. Come to think of it, "Hamsterdam" was not realistic at all. A liberal wet dream maybe.

Paging Mr. Ramsey...

The Social Darwinism aspect of the ideology is kind of a bummer, but they do have some good ideas.

Huge blow to the Rangers chances this year with Darvish having elbow surgery. Meanwhile, Matt Harvey is hitting 99MPH, I think he's pitching with anger right now. If I was Mets brass, I'd tell them to hold him back. No need to risk a setback at this point.

Even w/o Tekkers, I like our chances. Vlaar is just a backup now (I hope)

Future Villa manager?

LOL

Lack of leadership, no accountability, kind of sums up the politics of power

He also blatantly stole Little Richard's "wooos!" But the Beatles redeemed themselves a million times over. What they copied just gets crushed under the weight of what they created. Still amazes me how prolific they were. 7 years. Imagine that.

Been a Beatles fan since I was 4 years old and just learned that George sung the vocal on Could have sworn it was Paul. Strange. George was never a crooner, but he croons on this one, as good as Paul.
