I mean high school sports coach plus a politician. That’s the Denny Hastert way.

I think I would show up and just break as many rules as possible.
I mean, nothing is going to happen to her legally, but imagine having this submitted as a piece of evidence in your trial:

Text messages between Elizabeth Holmes and Sunny Balwani today at the #Theranos trial. Holmes: “You are the breeze in desert for me.” “My water.” “And ocean.” “Meant to be only together tiger.” Balwani: “OK”

I have no idea what this is and I can’t tell you how much it’s bothering me.
I keep seeing gifs of that guy on the internet and I also don’t know what show it’s from

When we talk about inequality, we skew our perspective by looking at the most visible manifestations: penthouses in New York, mansions in Beverly Hills, the excesses of hedge fund billionaires or a misbehaving celebrity. But that’s not who most of the United States’ wealthy elite really are. They own $2 million houses on golf courses outside Orlando and a condo in the Bahamas, not an architecturally designed oceanfront villa in Miami. It’s not that those billionaires and excesses don’t exist; it’s that they’re not nearly as common as a less exalted kind of wealth that’s no less structurally formative to our economy and society.
There are an enormous number of organizations and institutions dedicated to advancing the interests of this gentry class: Chambers of Commerce, exclusive country clubs and housing developments, the American Society of Concrete Contractors, and fruit-growers’ associations, just to name a small cross-section. Through these organizations and their intimate ties to local and state politics, the gentry class can and usually does wield significant power to shape society to their liking.
It’s easy to focus on the massive political spending of a Sheldon Adelson or Michael Bloomberg; it’s harder, but no less important, to imagine what kind of deals about water rights or local zoning ordinances are being struck across the country on the eighth green of the local country club.
This is a good article and I’d love to read a whole book focusing on just local elites and how they’ve been configured differently throughout the ages

Sorry @clovis8 - it’s looking more and more like you were predated by 10k years or so.

My masters was on proving the ice free corridor was populated south to North so I have never been a Clovis first supporter!

So what do you think is up with this? A previous wave of migration before the ice age? Maybe boats along the coast during the ice age?
If there were two distinct waves of people, shouldn’t that show up in DNA, assuming the first wave wasn’t totally wiped out?
Just imagine a swampy lake in New Mexico with giant sloths. North American animals are so boring now - bears, bison, caribou, moose, elk. I want mammoths, giant sloths and saber tooth cats!

Hard to know for sure but pre-glacial migration along the coast is most likely and much of the evidence has been lost to ocean level changes.
Clovis never made sense as spring from nothing whole cloth culture.
Also the BEST animal of that time by far was the short-faced bear. Roamed the prairie, was bigger than grizzly and ran like a cheatah.

The giant beaver was pretty nuts too. On it’s hind legs it stood almost as tall as a man!
