There appear to be written instructions given to this “one employee” who was in turn supervising and instructing subordinates.

The recipe for a “successful” coaching tenure:

1. Wait to take over your responsibilities in favor of your last position. Don’t worry your new players don’t need any help. Recruiting can wait.

2. When you get to work, don’t take any time learning your players names… they appreciate being called by numbers.

3. Try to be as rude as possible to the media. Their support doesn’t matter. Also, be publicly critical of your 18 year old kids’ talent levels or work ethics… that will gain a lot of trust. Don’t hesitate to call them out by name.

4. Hire as many mediocre coordinators as you can.

5. Install an offensive system that was built to compete in the big 10 twenty years ago. That will certainly give you a competitive advantage.

6. Switch from a successful defensive philosophy to one not tailored to your personnel.

7. Take extra care to run the ball a lot if you lack offensive line experience. Those kids need the extra reps to suck less!

8. Don’t identify a competent quarterback. Get yourself in a classic QB competition where no one gets enough practice reps and you tell your scholarship QB’s that they’re not as good as walk ons…

Anyone ignorant enough to not believe a sudden spike in oil and natural gas prices doesn’t affect everything else in the economy is just dumb. It’s also why Europe saw worse price increases than we did, because they control far less of their own energy supply.

There’s no doubt the global inflationary pressures contributed to our record inflation. There’s also no doubt the Biden Admin was completely wrong when it came to believing inflation was transitory and injecting another $1T into the system when MOST of us saw the writing on the wall. Im with Huffy on this one. I can’t imagine anyone with a basic understanding of economics not realizing the situation at the time. I certainly saw it coming. No chance the Biden Admin was that incompetent.

Nearly every voting system in the USA now includes remote uploading of vote tabulation whether it’s at your local location or an early voting site. It’s uploaded again between the county and state on a different system once tabulated.

It’s a lot easier for people of bad will to hack a hand count at a central location late at night after other counties have reported their totals than it is to hack the nearly simultaneous uploading of hundreds of electronic locations.

Was a huge problem 4 years ago when you didn’t like who the votes supported… much less of a problem now when you agree with the results. Go figure.

That's why you have a # on paper, and in a system that doesn't go online with this data, as well as people who remember this data. It can, and would be caught in Oklahoma if it was hacked, or any other similar system. If it's attacked before the #'s are tabulated, no matter how much more difficult, the #ers are impossible for you to catch. You can't remember, or have all the #ers on your desk at that stage. There is always the paper ballots to recount, as a back stop if that happens. But if you aren't aware it's happened, then who calls for a recount. (which is less likely in a system that is hacked in the middle of the tabulation) Not putting it online until the end has it's advantages.

lol. I can’t remember a bigger economic miscalculation than not recognizing the inflationary pressures and then attempting to dismiss them as transitory. Injecting amother trillion dollars into a system already experiencing labor and material shortages was brilliant. When a dumb real estate attorney can see it but the leaders of our country can’t we have a serious problem with those running our economic policy. At least Yellen finally admitted the error I suppose.

Foreign policy under Biden was a disaster as well but that’s a much longer discussion. Explains his 40% approval rating when it comes to foreign policy I suppose.

Have to agree. If I knew the situation they surely did as well. Aston was a sheep but most of us could recognize the inflationary pressures and that describing inflation as transitory was insulting to anyone who had a basic understanding of economics. Those labor and material shortages combined with a huge injection of capital into the system and existing inflationary pressures abroad were never going to be a short term deal

We were. As I told you when it was happening, it was largely a combination of emerging supply chains from Covid and energy markets in crisis trying to rebalance after half the world boycotted Russian oil.

You wanted to blame it on stimulus spending which was not the fundamental cause. (If it was, the rest of the world including China wouldn’t have been feeling it)

His administration was far more competent than you give it credit for. Regardless of him stumbling which you both say you care about and don’t care about at the same time.

He handled a global geopolitical economic and military crisis extremely deftly, effectively rebalancing the worlds oil and gas markets through Russian sanctions and increasing US LNG exports to Europe, while also helping a country that should have no business staving off a former super power make them look like fools.


That oil crisis he dealt with resulted in massive global inflation which his admin successfully navigated within 2-3 years which people here like Lawpokr said he wouldn’t be able to do.

By equating him with the likes of Trump do to your lack of awareness, you just bought 4 years of terrible grand strategy, which you already witnessed during Trump’s mishandling of Covid. You allowed people like Huffy to convince you that a middling economy was more important than the rule of law or America’s geopolitical dominance on the global stage. Mr Putin thanks you for your ineptitude.
