@Huskers donors don’t do @HuskerBaseball elimination games, apparently.

@HuskerBaseball is rallying, but the football @donors have gone home @TroyDannen. Embarrassing.

Among the first things my family did when we came home six years ago was get season tix to @HuskerBaseball. Through bad weather, bad opponents, and some bad baseball--we have been there. Now, @Huskers have given our tickets away to donors. Abominable treatment of fans.

This is for all of us who’ve been watching #Nebrasketball since the Phillips 66 Big 8 Basketball days. Who sat through Barryball. Who hoped for Doc. Who Didn’t sit with Tim. Who’ve believed in Fred. We’ve always been here. We ain’t goin’ nowhere.

Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

Whatever chemistry truly is, Nebraska has it. Huskers are completely in sync on both sides of the floor. A beautiful basketball team. 19-0.

Top 10 Nebraska down 16 in Assembly Hall, doesn’t blink and stays perfect. Indiana has its juggernaut football team to ease the sting. Hard to imagine both are reality.

“Can I bring my baby to the interview?” The message came in at 11 PM: “Hi, I have an interview with you tomorrow at 2 PM. My childcare fell through. Can I bring my 8-month-old? I understand if you need to reschedule.” Old me would have rescheduled. Unprofessional. Distraction. Red flag. New me replied: “Absolutely. See you tomorrow.” She showed up with her baby on her hip. She apologized three times before even sitting down. Ten minutes in, the baby started crying. She tried to soothe him while answering questions. She apologized again. I stopped the interview and said: “Hey. You’re managing a fussy baby, answering complex questions, and staying calm under pressure. That’s literally the job. Handling chaos while staying professional. You’re already proving you can do it.” Her eyes filled with tears. We hired her. She’s been with us for a year now. The most reliable team member we have. Why? Because when you’re used to handling a screaming infant at 3 AM and still showing up to work the next day, workplace stress feels like nothing. Working parents, especially mothers, are some of the most organized, efficient, and resilient people you’ll ever hire. Yet we lose them because our hiring processes are built for people with zero caregiving responsibilities. If your interview process can’t accommodate a parent facing a childcare issue, you’re not filtering for professionalism. You’re filtering for privilege.

A dream season is unfolding in Lincoln. Nebraska is unequivocally one of the best stories in college basketball. This is ONLY December.

Who does Jerod think is building the homes that he wants more of and at more reasonable prices? #HousingCrisis

Supply and demand. Cut red tape and build more housing. Enforce our border laws strictly and ramp up deportations. Plus end H1B abuse.

Perhaps surprisingly, am fine with "loose" rent stabilization, so long as it includes: 1. Annual rent increases in the range of CPI 1-2% 2. The ability to buy out a tenancy at a fair, formulaically determined price, so that the building can be (re-)renovated every ~30 yrs 3. Rents re-set to market when tenant vacates 4. "Good cause" eviction protections which nevertheless allow owner to evict a truly bad actor who makes the building unsafe (serious crime, extreme hoarding, will-full damage to building, etc.) To me, the above strikes a fair balance between the interest of tenants in stability and the interest of owners in being able to run safe, profitable buildings.
