What the left should be doing, I think, is to hold some sort of counter-assembly--bring in speakers people want to hear, with items people want to have. (I'm thinking ice cream. Who doesn't love ice cream?)

"The University of Memphis said in a statement that due to free speech, they cannot legally prohibit the event."
That's garbage and they know it. The First Amendment applies to government censoring or banning speech. It doesn't require any private organization to provide a platform for speech that it doesn't approve of.

Shades of Joe Niekro...I love the ump, just sitting there, chin in hand, turning with a whole "...and what have we here, hmm?" vibe....

Also surprisingly combative, taking shots directly at Trump (although not by name), the SCOTUS, and Republicans in Congress for their regressive, obstructionist, and dictatorial attitudes and policies. I get the impression Biden has had enough of trying to work with them. If they want a fight, he's ready to take the gloves off.
Maybe Joe Biden can prove he actually is the right man for the time.

Biden just gave the best State of the Union speech I've ever seen. And I've seen many. Amazing energy level throughout an 80-minute speech for a man who was supposedly "too old".

I've heard high-end restaurant work was brutal for quite a while.
The points about Yelp...my gosh, yes. Reviews generally have to be taken with a shaker of salt, but restaurant reviews are probably the most consistently off base.
The most surprising point? Cooking school, by and large, is a waste of money. And their reasoning is sound; they're expensive, and they don't translate to better pay per se. A university hospitality program is more about getting into management...not about being a chef.
