Interesting theory on the first part.  Its possible. Bidens debate moment seemed fake to me, almost staged. Her likely competition would have been Shapiro or Gavin Newsome. Maybe they felt it would've been a bad look having 'a man' supplant a woman.  Anyway I was more referring to how she handled herself, and presented herself in speeches and debates.

Yeah, I knew trump would cause chaos, then support Russia in the war.  Its his agenda, cause chaos at home, then do the dirty work.  I dunno, as to the Fed, I think there's a better way to handle it.  Maybe just implement a hiring freeze, and also trim down  on pensions for new hires moving forward. That was in 30-40 years things get more reasonable.  A contact I see online always posts about pro-trump stuff, and he's in rural PA. I want to ask him should PA just get rid of the Hunting & Wildlife commission, as I looked it up and they spend 300 million a year.  Its just so people can hunt & fish, seems a waste. Lets get rid of it, right?   Rules for thee but not for me.

Was 'Soon' from the 2002 MTV awards Kurt Loder interview?  Or it was an interview a few years later, I can't recall. But I thought Axl was asked if CD would be released anytime soon, what was his response, something like "I'm not sure 'soon' is the word"

and then the forums took that as some sort of battle cry and it became a thing. 

The Fantasy Footballs were always fun, and Neemo's elimination challenge/Survivor polls.

Eddie Trunks a good one.  Wasn't Mike Piazza tied into that too?  Was he playing them for him on the show, or did Axl give Piazza the demo's?

The kid who claimed he heard them sounds familiar.  There were some pretty shoddy lies posted on the forums, ppl who would swear they were insiders somehow (My Aunts in the industry, is high up at Best Buy etc)

The storage unti/Tom Zutaut was strange

Anyone into hardcore/metal scene ever hear of Zulu?

Kindof a mix of Rage Against The Machine & death metal. Not usually a fan of the 'grunting' style of singing, but they're definitely peculiar, kinda makes me keep watching to see what happens, in a intrigued kinda way. My brother saw them 2 or 3 years ago and texted me, he's older too, but someone he worked with heard about them and suggested going.  They just stood in the back, haha, and kinda watched in all in marvel of what was going on. 

Wow, I can 100% agree with this. Had an issue in 2020 where a young person just wanted to play 'pretend work/boss', it was nuts. What sucks was the 40ish year old CEO (small non-profit) thought she was a whiz at business and sided with her. The place got laughable and completely collapsed within weeks of me leaving.

TBH I think nowadays these college grad types grow up on Reality TV. shows like The Bachelor, Big Brother, Real Housewives etc. And they think work is going to be all about meetings, talking, complaining, and opinions. Not actual, you know, work.

As to politics, I agree Dems let woke go too far into its agenda. I felt Kamala ran a decent campaign, and reinvented herself a bit pretty well, putting on a good face. Biden really screwed things up for her tho, and should've never tried to run again. There was a zero percent chance he could run a campaign, give late night speeches, jetset cross country etc. Keep in mind, 2020 was essentially a 'virtual campaign', much different.

Mehhh, I think things are going to go off the rails pretty quick. Giving him a chance, but realistically from the Gaetz pick, to the Panama Canal & Greenland, now renaming the Gulf of Mexico, its looking like it'll get batshit crazy. I don't think he makes it to midterms before being removed. I also predict he does something pretty extreme right away. My guess is a mass illegals deportation effort within his first month of office, kindof a diversion tactic & setting the tone that he's in charge. If you remember, he did the Muslim ban overnight his first month in office last time.
