2008 had a very wide blast radius. If it was just a handful or even most banks that were in trouble it probably wouldn't have been a bailout. Mortgage securities were everywhere and no one knew how much they were actually worth. Most the fortune 500 facing a double digit percentage loss was looking likely, which would have been catastrophic.

Compared to today it might be more money, but it's isolated to the tech sector. Even then a lot of the worst of it is not on publicly traded companies .

    There's probably a AAA crash coming. Bethesda probably gets shutdown then. What I don't know is if that crash will happen before they release another game. I wouldn't be surprised if MS leaves the gaming market entirely with the crash.

    College Football Playoff first round provided evidence one change is needed to format (fansided.com)
     

    Something needs to be done after the garbage first round of playoffs.

    • No automatic bye for conference champions seems good.

    This article stops short of saying the Big12 and ACC should only get one team in, but I'd support that until proven they aren't week conferences.

    Strength of schedule needs to be a bigger factor, an 11-1 Indiana never deserved a spot. My ideal default would be 6 SEC, 3 Big10, and the other automatic qualifiers.

    The Democrats should have replaced Biden as president and not just as candidate. (sh.itjust.works)
     

    Now is a great time for if I were there hypotheticals, so here's mine.

    Once it was decided to run Harris and push Biden out, they should have gone all the way and used the 25th amendment to let Harris become president. This would have effectively separated her from Biden while still allowing her to take credit for the good stuff. She could have instructed the DOJ to start investigating price gouging now, and campaigned on needing to win to keep it up.

    The 100ish days wouldn't have been enough for wholesale replacement, but it could have created a concrete message of this is where I want to go. A campaign focused on already delivering is a positive message people could get behind as well.
