You can’t use Holmes as support for suppressing speech when he clearly states his test was in war time and Congressionally enacted. The suppression of speech we’ve witnessed over the past 3 years have neither. It also was directed towards speech other than pandemic related.

Hey, where did he mention inflation on that post? Looked like a warning about consolidation, but if Kroger can make the margins work with Albertson's inventory, go for it boys.

He was clearly blaming price gouging and corporate greed for rising food prices. He hit all the key buzzwords. Yet he somehow omitted the most important number…:net margins. There is no factual evidence based on financials of either price gouging or corporate greed here.

Well, even the community clarification lacks clarity. They correct his use of gross vs net profit, but only do so using data in 1 quarter when he was referencing behavior over 5 years.


Both things are misleading.

Apparently no one knows how to read a financial statement.

Krogers net margins are a little less than 1.5% over the past 5 years and pretty much in line with historical averages. Gross margins are largely irrelevant as they typically don’t take into account operating expenses. Again, Reich is throwing irrelevant info out in hopes the uneducated will buy into it. Probably a pretty good bet.

Kroger Net Profit Margin 2010-2024 | KR

Current and historical net profit margin for Kroger (KR) from 2010 to 2024. Net profit margin can be defined as net Income as a portion of total sales revenue. Kroger net profit margin for the three months ending July 31, 2024 was <strong></strong>.

Bluster huh. I would call it intentionally misleading at best to deflect blame for high food prices to companies like Kroger. I can’t imagine Reich doesn’t understand financial statements.

Kroger can buy out who they want, if they scoop up Albertson's fine. Reich bumped heads with deficit hawks in the first Clinton administration three decades ago, the hawks largely won, but the guy is sharp, Clinton couldn't afford most of his economic policy initiatives then.

1). I said largely supplanted not wholly supplanted. Please quote me accurately.

2). Holmes never said anything about regulating pandemics. You can’t agree with him on things he never addressed.

Limiting speech based on Congressional action is a vital part of this discussion as is war. Both were intricate to Holmes’ decision. Again…the fact that one person is violating Americans first amendment rights even with speech which is factual is alarming. Please note there was also speech censored which had zero to do with the pandemic. History shows us the silencing of the people often starts in one area and spreads to others. Funny how things repeat themselves. The fact there are Dems supporting such a gross violation of our civil rights is even more alarming. Can we not place the precedent being set over partisanship?. Shall we go back to through history and discuss regimes which silenced the voices of dissenters ?

1) Apologies. Verbiage. We agree that such a standard is not currently adopted by the government though similar logic has been used in the past. I’m arguing that such logic should i

2) I am extending Holmes’ logic to a similar circumstance as the one he was ruling upon.

3) Just because Congress is incompetent doesn’t mean that the president should be as well.

That's funny, bluster doesn't count as economic policy. Since 1989, there have been 52 million new jobs created in these United States. 50 million have been created by three Democratic presidents, and 2 million have been created by three Republican presidents. At least for the last 3 and a half decades, Republicans have had the effect of carpet bombing the American economy, numbers are the meat on the bone.

You know as well as I do how Tulsa fans are, and "it's too hot" is one of the most common excuses used. I was there the last time we played this team and it was too close for comfort. I hope we run them off the field this time around.

I took a quick look at the ticket map and it looks like we're about or just over 50% sold.

The last time we played this team was in 1983, was that what you are referring to? lol. I don't think we will have a problem this go round.

Good Lord if 90ish around kickoff keeps TU fans away then I dunno what to say. It's going to significantly cool off during the game.

Such a lazy group of fans. Just show up and cheer for the damn team.

Get there early, only 2,500 shirts available.

Temp is predicted to still be over 90 at kickoff, which won’t help with a walk up crowd.

So it appears I have been MIA for a while. Truth is, NIL and transfer portal has just about killed by excitement about college sports. Please, let this be a successful year to renew my faith in the whole thing.

Based on absolutely nothing:

TU 34
NW St 18

Bonus Kendall Prediction: There won't be a QB starter controversy after this game, it will be Kirk's job to lose.

I have long compared the pandemic to war time in terms of the needs of the nation for alignment and cooperation for the safety of the nation. The fact that Congress couldn’t get their head out of their butts long enough to come to terms with that shows how screwed up our government really is.

I don’t agree that the clear and present danger doctrine has wholly been supplanted. Even in Brandenburg the justices acknowledge the need to limit speech which will imminently cause harm. (They reference Holmes’ fire in a crowded theater analogy) The main difference being what is considered imminent.

Again, I think I’m more open to what should be considered an imminent threat to safety than what the current government considers.

I do agree with Holmes in subsequent cases that things like proposing strike dates aren’t inherent threats to public safety and shouldn’t be regulated in the same way as disinformation about pandemics or inflammatory remarks that maliciously detriment public safety.
