I mean I'm glad Trump didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize but I am not super excited that the person who did win it has been going "Mr Trump please murder more Venezuelan fishermen with American missiles" since it was announced

Sorry I missed that! Nice job. I honestly feel that Corruption is the second best traditional IPA in the nation. I am partial to Two Hearted so I can't call it #1 but it's a close second.

Did you read the FT story from the other day about Argentina's USD currency reserves? It said their central bank sells USD to residents. Is that true? Does the Fed sell other denominations to US residents? I'm not an economist. Just wondering how that works.

Hey George, I read in that FT story about Argentina's USD reserves that Arg's central bank sells USD to citizens. Is this true? Is that normal? Does the Fed sell currency in other denominations to US citizens? Just wondering.

How anyone spends money on this garbage franchise is beyond me. Good to see some actual critical reporting on the Bullets instead of the usual "finally, this rebuild will do it!"

The Wizards increased 34 of the 41 pricing tiers for season tickets that carried over from last season. The jumps come as the team is in an aggressive rebuild.

Some fans are discontent with what they deem an imbalance between the on-court play and how it’s priced.

“They’re f---ing terrible."

With season ticket prices up and fortunes down, some Wizards fans tap out

As Washington’s rebuild carries on, even the most loyal supporters are experiencing sticker shock ahead of the 2025-26 NBA season.
