Very poor grammar. I believe the word you’re looking for is economics, which actually fits the structure of that sentence.
I’m self aware enough to realize how obnoxious that just sounded. This is my version of a Dattier post.
Exactly! That's how little I know about it!

I'm not going to learn it from anyone here b/c I don't trust any of you to be objective and you're usually antagonistic.

As a public school employee, I barely know what money looks like, let alone understand the complexities of the economy. I know my lane. I'm not going to learn economy here, either.

One of the hallmarks of just about every Leftist. Refusal to learn from people who clearly know more about a topic than you. You were on the right track with this post until you had to get your usual dig in the last sentence. How quickly humility descends into snideness

People just pretend that dumping millions of people into communities and spending billions of dollars doing it at the same time as having a stagnant economy with high inflation, somehow won't have a negative impact on the economy and housing costs. Or spending a trillion dollars on a phony inflation bill didn't add to the inflation. Yeah, it was covid.

Oh, no, that part was the same. I blame it much more on Covid and worldwide supply chain issues than President Biden. I was thinking of most of President Trump's previous term in office.
Covid? Funny how when Covid hit full scale in March 2020 prices remained stable for almost an entire year and only skyrocketed after the Inflation Reduction Act. Supply chain issues did play a role but excessive spending led to too many $ chasing too few goods.

That doesn't look anything like the reality I experienced, nor does it take into consideration anything but how you claim the economy was doing.
Mortgages have gotten prohibitively expensive. Many twenty and thirty somethings despair that they will never be able to buy their own home.
Never fear though; Wapo got your back. Op eds saying that there’s nothing wrong with living in an apt. They use less energy anyway. Suck it up young people. Take one for the team.

🚨 official game day thread game 1- Duke vs Maine 🚨

Sion had NBA workouts last summer and is currently second round on some drafts. It's not like suggesting Proctor be our 6th man was some personal insult. Proctor will play 20-25 minutes either way. Sion can play; and has an NBA build. I think Proctor can start ahead of Sion, but he may need to improve to do that. Maybe he has. This summer I suggested Foster be our 6th man; but Foster has looked better so far. Still early of course. Kon seems to have the 3 spot locked up. To me so far only Kon and Cooper are guaranteed starters. Probably Mal as well. We have a lot of options.
Be careful with the Kon and Cooper love fest. Honest Competition will adjust to both. This is when you will need Sion, Maliq, Gillis and Proctor/Caleb. Kon and Cooper have not seen the 'grown men' yet. Their talent is flourishing right now. Muscle, Strength and Experience is on the way. We need to make the adjustments for them we didn't do for Flip.

The gap slightly decreased under Trump. And again, at the same time, groceries, retail, gas, rent and pretty much everything else was more affordable. It takes $50,000/year more to be able to afford to buy a home today compared to 2019. The gap has increased under Biden and things are less affordable. So things were better for everyone who participated in the workforce under Trump.

I think knowing Sion is on the bench and ready to play is going to really motivate Caleb and Tyrese. And that's a great thing. Take a possession off and you may sit a while.

Same goes for Maluach. Brown brings a different dynamic and he needs to see the court for 20+ minutes a game.

And as the season goes on, Evans and Harris are going to be more ready to give valuable minutes if there's an injury, just as soon as they learn the defense.

🚨Official game day thread vs army🚨

One of the few things that we can look for tonight, other than the last chance for Hubbard, Begovich and Borden to play for a while, is whether Army can slow down the pace or if Duke can speed them up. I'd also like to see Duke play great defense for the entire shot clock, and not give up easy shots or fouls at the end of the shot clock.

It would be nice to see Cooper have a big game also, just to show he can.
