Isn’t this the kind of thing RFK Jr is talking about with our food industry?

I can't speak to this particular instance (but unless I find convincing proof the claim is false, I'll never touch Starbucks again, lol), but regarding coffee, I believe most of the coffee sold in the US could not be sold in most of the rest of the world because the level of mold is too high.

The thing is, there are dozens if not hundreds of situations like this, along with libraries of corrupted "science" to justify them. Even a cursory glance at any sort of US epidemiological data shows a massive problem, the cost of which is something north of $4.2T annually in the US. Kennedy was involved in successfully litigating a number of such cases as pertains to children's health. He may not have a shiny certificate from the National Association of Democratic Party Health and Human Service Professionals, but he has the discernment to pick the right side in a fight, and he might wind up being the most positively impactful member of Trump's new team when people look back a generation from now. It'll be a huge uphill struggle as BigFood, BigAg, BigPharma, their de facto employees in "academia" and "medical" associations, as well as the political left are arrayed against him. But I'm still hopeful we see the beginning of populist movement bringing sanity and awareness into the mainstream. You'd think health, especially that of our children and grandchildren, would be something we all could agree on. But apparently that's not the case in 2024. Maybe 2025 will bring the start of something better.

Barry Odom to Purdue

D
What are the thoughts of people on this?

IMHO, Odom failed pretty bigly at Mizzou. Yes, he wasn't a flaming disaster. He went 25-25, 13-19 in the SEC. Drinkwitz looks substantially better, and he doesn't strike me as a coaching genius (solid coach sure, top tier no).

That said, Odom has been much more successful at UNLV. With the exception of a flukish win against Kansas this year (the week after KU's loss to us), he's basically beaten the teams his outfit is better than and lost to those his team is worse than. It's a solid but not spectacular resume.

All in all, this is a decent hire for Purdue. I was admittedly afraid they'd hire the coach from Ohio, who on paper looks like someone who gets a lot out of his talent. But Odom is better than several names on the Purdue list, as well. I do think his success will have a lot to do with his OC (and people seem to think the one at UNLV was good, tho it sure seems like that individual will be a strong candidate to replace Odom with the Runnin' Rebels). I'm not sold Purdue will get a big haul from the UNLV roster, either, playing in a decent MWC in a NFL stadium in Las Vegas strikes me as at least comparable to playing in West Lafayette, Indiana for the worst team in the B1G.

All in all, I'd give this hire a C+. I don't think it will be great, though I'd expect Purdue to elevate a bit from the Walters debacle.

I’ve never been to SF. My wife was there many years ago and said I would hate it. LA is dirty. It isn’t interesting or amazing. South of LA is where the magic was on the coast.

The main takeaway is both SF and NYC have an abundance of recognizable sites. That alone makes them cool. SF is a world class city when properly run. I would not want to live in any of these 3 cities just like Jeff. SD would be my choice if forced to live in Cali.
