And what about bean counters?

How do they fit into the problem?

The bean counters only predict or tally results, and report back to the people calling the shots.
Private equity has dismantled more businesses, put more people out of work, than any other threat.

The population is ageing and they are the mean bastards who survived so watch out.

Too many beans remain to count. Because Trump has subverted exports. Just another example of a business school graduate screwing everything up for self-serving reasons.

Honest businessmen always make sure their counter-party is also prospering. That is the purpose of every business transaction. Both parties prosper. Business school graduates (ie Trump) and their disciples must deny this.

The three true outcomes strike out, walk, or homerun game that has developed is boring as hell. It was really bad for the Yankees because their hitting instructors are over selling launch angle. Fortunately everyone got hurt so they have a better mix of batting styles.

We went to a Brewers game a couple of years ago, and every point was scored by a Homerun. That park is so small it seemed like they couldn't help but hit a Homerun.

"12 per team per game" or 8.5?

Seems like hits have been amazingly consistent for 100 years.

The vertical(left hand) scale goes from 0 to 12 per team per game.

It appears Doctors and nurses are doing better than many. I wonder if the nurses increase is partially due to nurse practitioners? I have noticed doctor visits are taken up with more nurse time than previously.

My HP Notebook running WIN10 zoomed well with it's wireless mouse.

ETA: HA! Poking around noticing who came from where I found that Harrison Ford and Hillary Clinton went to the same high school. She started the year after he graduated. I didn't know that.

I learned that Ruth Buzzi is the most Wikipedia searched person in Stephenville Tx.
