YouTube is where I watch the late show…

This has been said all along. And I’d wager a lot of investors agree. But the stock market is essentially gambling and you can’t argue with market trends. Even the critics on Wall street will ride the wave until it comes crashing down in the hope that they can cash out quick enough or they hope to catch the coattails of what few firms make it out the other side.

Shhhhhh! You’ll jinx it!

Edit-preface: I am not a grammarian. I don’t know what the technical names for the different types of “to” are or if they are even recognized as distinct by experts in the field.

English is does indeed use “go” to mean “go do a thing”, but not with directional “to” (as in “go to the library”).

“Go run!”, “Go running”, “I’m going running”, and “I’m going to run” are all valid uses. (In that last case, the “to” is not a directional “to”, but is actually part of the infinitive verb “to run”, as in “I want to run”). However, you wouldn’t say “Go to run!” to tell someone to run.

"Go to run" could make sense with a causal “to” (“Go, in order that you might run”) but that separates “go” and “run” in to separate actions. Causal “to” is the “to” in “push to open” and “press F to pay respects” this is not the “to” in “go to sleep”

“Go to sleep” feels like it is in the directional sense, like "go to bed"

Edit: Now you’ve got me thinking. “Go to sleep” and “go to bed” are a little unusual . “Go to [location]“ without an article is usually reserved for proper nouns or pronouns (“Go to France”, “go to Curicó”, “go to Walmart”, “go to John“ “go to her”). When the location is a general noun, you usually use an article or a proper/pro-noun in the possessive form (“go to a restaurant”, “go to the party”, “go to Bob’s house”, “go to your room”). So what makes “bed” and “sleep” so special? The only other case I can think of at the moment is “go to ground” and that is different because it is an idiom, and the rule for idioms is “they mean what they mean”

Edit-edit: meals don’t use an article either: “to lunch”, “to dinner”, “to breakfast”.

Edit-edit-edit: AAAAAH! It applies to some other prepositions too: “in bed”, “at lunch”; but not “under the bed”. What is going on‽

Edit-edit-edit-edit: Causal “to” might be a use of the infinitive case?

Edit-edit-edit-edit-edit: “go to work” does not use an article either.

Big bash > small bash

Whoops! Slip of the thumb. Thanks for catching that. I was thinking “administrators of the Executive branch” and it morphed before I got it out.

Now and in his last term. It’s coming to a head now because of all the judicial appointments that McConnell held open in the Obama years.

“Judges”

I say that in “scare quotes” because they are literally not judges and it is not a court. They are not part of the judicial branch. They are bureaucrats of the ~~administrative~~ Executive branch that started cosplaying a couple decades ago to project an impression of legitimacy and finality.

Oh! The humidity!

Bold of you to assume my floor is level.

the government

1. These are different silos of information within the government. One demanding that the other release the information that they have.
2. Congress could demand the DOJ release of the pee tape, the identity of any and all the reptilians in government, or photographs the moon landing set; it doesn’t mean that any of those things exist, or that the DOJ has access to them.
3. The files exist. Everyone agrees on that. What the Bondi claims is that a client list does not exist, even though she said the client list was on her desk a little while back. She is now trying to ret-con that she meant that “the files” were on her desk, not a client list specifically.
