Carino Pod: good listen

I don't bitch about RU much at all actually. Just the facts and a fan of the school that hopes its teams do well. My sister and many best friends are RU grads and I've spent plenty of time in the scarlet lot or section 126 over the years. But no doubt, RU sports could cease to exist tomorrow, and my life would be effected very little. You should be glad RU has fans like me, because they haven't done much winning to draw anyone in.

I'm usually giving an honest opinion when called negative, so that doesn't bother me at all. You were probably one of the people telling me how wrong I was about Martini, or even Hayes last year. How did those positive thoughts work out.
?? Wrong again I never commented on those players-- you don't know what you're talking about. I try to make it a practice not to comment on players unless I specifically know something about them and unlike many aholes around here like yourself, that really know nothing .

We'll see. Well circle back if they ever release the price he got paid.

8 pt scorer that provides no rim protection, is nowhere near a true center, still heavy, lacks defense, and shot 13.1 percent behind the arc? Are you giving that kid 200,000? I am not even sure if Somerville is a 4. And don't say he's a positionless player because you have to be able to shoot to be one.
Kid got close to a million to sign with Washington.

OT: Stock and Investment Talk

Well.. that's what Ezra wanted them to agree to.. to measure based on manufacturing jobs. But the others were too smart to just walk into his trap... and it was a trap argument.

Bottom line for me is this.. did Trump's tactics on tariffs help or hurt the overall deficit picture? Don't pick a specific measurable because then you are only locked into doing things that effect that measurable. If the financial picture improves in every way except a count of actual manufacturing jobs.. then it will have been a success but agreeing to Ezra's test criteria would score it as a failure.
The last part is the key, and it cuts both ways, and i think that's what Chamath never touched on. Adding manufacturing jobs at any cost is not necessarily a success.

If those jobs are re-shored, inflation is squashed, and market and unemployment are good, then to me that is a success. If 20k jobs are re-shored but everything is more expensive, unemployment is 10% and market is down 40%, that is clearly not a good tradeoff.
