    That's probably because you reinterpreted what I said to mean something very different from what I actually said. I didn't say hospitalizations and deaths, I said hospitalization RATE and death RATE. What's the current death RATE? Please list your news media outlet source.

    No, it's not commentary. Even if it was, it does nothing to further the conversation. "Yawn" as a response is explicitly designed to dismiss who it's responding to, and to shut them down in the conversation. As for the beating of a dead horse, don't think for a second that you can read minds...

    Testing is up, so I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you, that cases are up. The only things that matter is, the hospitalization rate, and the death rate, two things that isn't getting reported.

    That's not really conversing. All you're doing is responding to posters instead of posts, and regurgitating someone else's nutjob opinion from other sites. When you quote something like Bill Kristol, it's not thought provoking or conversation promoting, it's just noise intended to troll.

    Pay...van owner/driver...how does it work?

    Whatever the "job pays" is after the trucking company takes their cut, unless the van owner always gets to see the line haul bill the carrier charges for the load. If the line hul bill is $600, and the carrier takes 33.3%, or $200, then the "job" (which is hauling the load) pays $400 (to the...

    That's pretty close. Each carrier is different, but I think the most common is about 62% paid out to the truck owner. Some pay a little less than that, some a little more. The carrier's cut pays for, of course, obtaining the load, running the load under carrier authority, liability insurance...

    The NYT did a study on it, and they found that 2/3 of the hate crimes reported were fake. And that's somebody trying to put the best, most racist spin on it. If you take a closer look, it's closer to 90 percent. And it feels like it's even higher than that. One thing that seems to be certain is...

    Definitely right there. Had a CAT scan yesterday morning. I haven't talked with the surgeon yet, but later yesterday I had a routine followup with my regular doctor, and he said, "Your CT results are in. Let's take a look!" And he read them over. Said, to him anyway, everything about it looks...

    In Bubba's defense, its a slip knot, and all slip knots are nooses. It's a really old term, from Middle English or Old French, from the Lain nodus, which means knot. It's one of the basic, and most common stitches in knitting. It's used in fishing (arbor knot) and in boating (running bowline)...

    Please help! Owner trying to start small cargo van fleet?

    You need to go to the truck stops and talk to expediters both drivers and owner operators. There's some revenue in a straight truck, but a cargo van owner operator is tight, even more so when trying to split the revenue between a driver and owner. The entry barrier to expedite with a cargo van...

    I'm not sure how the ad hominem attack on Lesko has any bearing whatsoever on Mueller's affirmative response regarding his and Barr's joint statement on the report. Especially, since, you know Mueller and Barr's joint statement was released long before Lesko got involved in any way, shape or...

    That was before Mueller and Barr released their statement about there not being any light between them on the report, something that Mueller himself affirmatively testified to in front of Congress under questioning from Rep. Debbie Lesko of Arizona.

    Sure. Not really a major one, though. Kinda like when someone quits their job to spend more time with their children, or they're gonna get fired to spend more time with their children. Nobody thinks of that as a big, fat, hairy deception. It's saving face. It'a an "out" with a little dignity...

    Our Time is Now

    Back in 1992 I got 3 speeding tickets in one day, all within about 3 hours. The next day I sold the candy apple red Camaro and bought a soccer mommy van. No tickets since then, except about 4 years ago I got caught in a sleezy speed trap that I finally got dismissed.

    Except his announcement on Berman wasn't fake, he simply tried to give him an out to save face after Berman had refused other positions. And even Mueller said Barr didn't mischaracterize his report, said there was no daylight between them.
