Someone asked for another opinion and Gunny gave his.
The idea that that situation qualifies for moderation is nuts.
For the most part, both blue and red voters have information sources that lead them to their sincerely held views.
They only real evil is at the top, where the truth is evident.
I would think, by definition, most people would consider themselves moderate.
If you aren't going to run for a second term, or if you are going to leave time for primaries, you have very little time to get anything done, before you become lame duck.
I work with AI to some degree, and I thought her description of AI was right on.
The laughing is a nice change vs all the scowling going on, but she needs to dial it back when she is trying to be serious. It undermines her.
With sufficient cold, under the Slutzky brothers, Hunter could go from zero to 100% open in nine days.
I remember the GM telling me, years ago, that the system used $13,000 in electricity per hour it was run at full blast.
Sincerely, I wasn't trying to brag. It kind of an Italian thing I think. My grandma kept dresses for 50 years because they were "still good."
In the nineties, I spent maybe 5 years following the "boglehead forum." That's where I got my routine. Basically keep costs way down (index mostly)...
You're teasing me now right?
I don't have to imagine. Laz and I have this discussion 5 or 6 times each season. I've ghost penned letters to the editor for him on the topic.

This was really one guy. I'll grant that he spoke quite loudly.
It's not too hard to guess.
I haven't heard anyone complain. Unless 'everyone else' means the ski area owners.
Living in Colorado, he can just ignore it, right?

Yes, the tail does wag the dog. I tend to choose NY. VT second.
The pass makes sense for me. I don't do the math.
A normal season for me is maybe 8 days at Plattekill and 10 days at Gore. Some weekends, I drive Sat AM to Plattekill and then to Gore for Sunday, or the reverse. Gore pass, gets me Belle, and Whiteface. I'll usually ski 2-3 days at Belle and...
In Spain, I believe if you are in the country, regardless of status, you can walk into the ER and get help.
I wouldn't say it goes away, but it is reduced. And not as low as it would be in Spain for your entire lifespan.
