What if the held an Olympics and nobody came? Well...

 If this isn't the King of the 'who gives a shit Olympic Games' nothing else is... 

The International Olympic Committee doesn't want anybody but NBC. It appears no one wants NBC, because no one is watching anything.
The IOC got a $7.75 billion deal with NBCUniversal for broadcast rights to the Olympic Games through 2032. Instead of putting the rights up for bid as it usually does, the IOC quietly approached the network in November about an extension.
NBC got caught in a bidding war with Disney's ESPN/ABC and News Corp.'s Fox Sports when the rights were up for bid eleven years ago.

The 'Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act' that was produced Sunday night clocked in at some 2,700 pages. Senators could begin amending it soon. The final product was not intended to stray from the broad outline senators had negotiated for weeks with the White House, and it did not. It's still full of pork and bullshit.
“We haven’t done a large, bipartisan bill of this nature in a long time,” said Senate dooshtool  Chuckie Schumer. He said a final vote could be held “in a matter of days”

I had a neighbor like Mrs. Kravitz here in Florida. Thankfully, she died last month.

The 22-year-old German was set to compete for her first Olympic medal in the women’s 4×400 mixed relay on Saturday night, but she didn’t see any action because the German mixed team was disqualified for making 'contact' with the Jamaican team.

Biden’s vaccine rule for federal employees is expected to bolster efforts to require vaccines in the workplace, but experts say it's also likely to spark court fights that could threaten the long-standing legal authority of employers to impose health measures at work.

There was a time when I commuted
 in to New York City for work.


Looking back on it now it seems like a pure form of insanity. Back in the 80's I was working as a free-lance Art Director - mostly for publishers and for ad agencies, and had my own studio in Manhattan. 
I spent five hours a day going back and forth to work 5/6 days a week for years. I know the money was really good and all that, but now it seems like a batshit crazy idea. Amazing how time changes your perspective on even the simplest things.
