Driving to work this morning at 70 MPH, I could see the guy behind me had his phone in his hand fiddling around (assume texting). Pulled off the exit (he was still behind me) and still tapping away. Since this 'law' has no real teeth, idiots like this will simply keep doing what they do.

Missouri is way late to the party on this law. I think this law is pretty common across the US.

I won't even answer a phone call while I'm in my car, it's hands free, but I refuse to try and hold a conversation in a town where people turn right from left hand lanes, or make U-turns leagally, yet everywhere else in the USA it is illeagal.

You extended a coach who's record would of gotten him fired at a top football school. As long as just going to a bowl game is good enough Mizzou will be fine. If you want championships then you have a lot of changes that needs to happen.

We never won against the ranked teams. Now we made our head coach one the highest paid in the college.

Mizzou football fans and boosters need to make a decision. Are we as content as fans with the job Drinkwitz is doing. If winning 8, 9, or 10 wins a season is good enough, the keep giving Drinkwitz and his staff contract extensions.

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

> "Trump and his goons" Goons? It's 2025. Trump is a lot of things, but comparing he and his team continued success to a childish name, you need better sources of your insults. For example, stop using The Rolling Stone as a primary news source.

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

We're too close to 2026 and it'll take a long time to reverse.

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

Biden tactics were destroying the world's economies.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade
