Funny.

Flew to WY today to hang w folks for a bit today.  Super weird jndy airport scene.  Eerily slow of course as SW is basically running no flights out of Indy this week and yet every other flight has about 30 people flying standby as displaced SW passengers rolling the dice.

The Bears will never amount to anything so long as they remain in the Halas-McCaskey family.

The only reason this hire makes any sense is to oversee the process of funding the new stadium and getting it through the regulatory process. He'll be sacked at the end of that and replaced with a construction boss. If the Bears win 5 games a year it'll be gravy.

same deal as the Ford family. Problem with these old timer NFL owners is they bought these teams for literally nothing and the teams are now worth $5+ billion. If the friggin' Broncos just sold for $4.65 billion, how much do you think the Bears are going for at auction? My guess is at least $6 billion. When these teams are worth that much dough and throw off that much money, these day one owners almost have no incentive to ever sell. Especially when they'll have to pay astronomical capital gains taxes. They can just borrow money from any bank or private lender on planet earth at low interest rates and put shares in the team up as collateral and service all the debt with the cash flow generated from the ridiculous TV contracts, ticket sales, concession sales, and merchandise sales.

Hopefully the Bears are a Delaware corporation.

The yin and yang of climate science | Climate Etc. (judithcurry.com)

The epidemiology of the pandemic provided far greater challenges.  Early in the pandemic, scientists, at least in the west, spoke with one voice and great authority. They claimed that 2 to 3 out of every 100 infected people will die, the virus spread by droplets and surfaces, there was no immunity after infection, and all ages were equally at risk.  These claims guided early covid policy in the U.S. However, these claims did not survive further scientific scrutiny and turned out to be wrong.  Many of these early policies backfired in tragic ways, particularly for the elderly and children.

So what went wrong?  The scientists failed to acknowledge uncertainty and ignorance. An elite group of scientists manufactured a consensus in an attempt to assert authority with the objective of controlling the virus. Attempts to squash disagreement and cancel scientists who disagreed delayed resolution of these mistaken claims and perpetuated these early bad policies.

The pandemic is clearly an issue for which facts are uncertain, values are in dispute, stakes are high & decisions are urgent, which characterizes post-normal science.  Post-normal science doesn’t seek to control, but rather to manage, in a way that seeks robustness in policy strategies.  In postnormal science, management of uncertainty and evaluating knowledge quality are paramount.  Postnormal science seeks to diversify the knowledge base beyond elite scientists. This occurs in context of an extended peer community that enables broader scientific and public contributions, understanding and acceptance.

Remaining original ruins of the Heart Mountain Japanese American Internment Camp.  Excellent museum and interpretive center.
