Allowing his son? Isn’t his son an adult?

We know you like to keep your nearly 40 year old son at your home so you can control him (like your wife), but most of us who are parents know when it’s time to let go. At least your daughter escaped.

I once lived at home while I ran my own business. I was 10 and sold lemonade at a stand out front. My parents were very supportive in that endeavor and the others that followed. They encouraged my independence and never tried to control my dreams.

I was not referring to his coaching, except perhaps regarding those he wouldn’t coach.

Amusing in light of our discussion of k’stan, russia and Ukraine

Man I’d love to get back the five minutes and three brain cells I just killed reading the last two pages of this thread.

DGTD has jumped the shark.

I realize that’s a boomer cultural reference, even though I’m not one. I watched Fonzie jump that stupid shark back then and wept for Richie, Joanie and the rest of them, as I weep gently for our little community as it craters today.

There’s a whole lot of dis/misinformation about world affairs in this thread. Those who have never (or rarely) left the continental US and spent time in eastern Europe should probably not bother expressing their views on political issues other than US “democracy.”

Sure. Like the markets, politics turn personal, in this case:

agip: “Igy's main defense of Trump is something like 'all these politicians are crooked so might as well vote against the hypocritical coastal elites to make them mad' or something like that. He's extraordinarily committed to making the Biden family seem as corrupt as the Trump family. It's the only way he can make his thesis work.”

Fair point, the issue of family politics wasn't your doing, at least initially.

It wasn’t my doing at all. Biden’s issues with Hunter are a fact, and they continue. I did not even mentioning Ashley, Then to link that one comment to my children, or Ukraine atrocities in WW II to Milhay Igloi or Porsche ownership to the Holocaust are weak and despicable .And points to some as not being bright, or ethical.

* Well i think your comment about being sick of Trump and ready to move on could be a real door-opener!

Getting back to the topic at hand, if I might.

The US is about to get hammered by omicron. Hospitalization and fatalities are now starting to rise. My forecast is that, beginning in the next couple of weeks, give or take, the US nation-wide will be feeling the worst effects of the pandemic so far, and it will happen quickly, everywhere. My thinking is that this will produce a sharp correction and more market turmoil.

You heard it here first. Buyer beware. Don’t come back later and say you weren’t warned…

Of course, I am an idiot, and therefore most likely wrong. Or maybe not, you decide.

Your parents raised an obsessed loon. Digs into someone else's life with the passion of hate. I doubt they would be proud of their psychotic son that has gone to the trouble registered a dozen handles on a somewhat obscure running site to harass someone. What type of person behaves like that? What kind of parents would raise such a person?

I don’t need you or anyone else to open their door based on my politics or market view. My door is always open, I get along fine with people I disagree with.

I don’t need help, but you will.

Changing the subject,

I'm reading a biography of LBJ.

Dude, no kidding, barefoot, rode to middle school on a donkey, and the language of instruction was German.

This was normal for the region.

Just 100 years ago.

What a world we have graduated from.

Imagine if LBJ was in office today. You can be damn sure that the Build Back Better legislation would have got done.

LBJ was being investigated. If J.F.K. was not killed, L.B.J. would have been in prison or would have been seen as a pure villain by 1965. There was a U.S. Senate hearing at 10am November 22nd, 1963. Would have been news except for you know what happened a couple hours later. If you know what occurred later that day didn't occur, L.B.J. would have been in big trouble. If L.B.J. had not become U.S. President, he would have prosecuted as was former U.S. V.P. Spiro Agnew. Note: S. Agnew's crimes and L.B.J.'s crimes 100% unrelated.

Lyndon Johnson taught in a one room school house in Cotulla, Texas between San Antonio and Del Rio, Texas. Large number of Latino students; realized the potential power and cultivated Latino voters. LBJ was instrumental in the funding and legislation that created University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. My last coaching stint.

One of the best biographies is Doris Kearns, LBJ and the American Dream. Unlike current politicians Johnson would really extend a hand across the aisle.

Hint 1: If you don’t want to face criticism for your parenting, don’t criticize someone else’s parenting.

Hint 2: If you don’t want to be known as a hypocrite, then don’t complain about someone using multiple handles when you do the same.

Hint 1: do your thing, it has gone on for seven years, why stop now

Hint 2: or see a psychiatrist about obsession

Hint 3: doesn’t matter to me what you do
