An economic turmoil partially created by Social Security. BTW I and my family have done pretty well economically over the past 20 years. I have zero complaints. How about you?

Thanks for the thought. Go Braves!

Kokomo Wildkats beat a ranked team handily last night. They deserve a spot IMHO.

For you Irish fans too bad the South Street Smokehouse closes at 3pm on Fridays.

?!?!?!? What kind of aberration is this?

I never understood the reasoning behind point spreads. Is it to "spice up" sports betting?

Story appears to be behind a paywall, cannot read.

Yes, I can.

The Dollar General there on the north side of town is pretty nice.

Given that labor union membership has been declining for decades that is some "power".

Only a labor union lover like yourself would make that "translation". You really can't do anything by yourself, can you?
