Got to say, Sherman and Bennett are both extremely sharp and deep thinking people. Not a common trait in football players.

Supporting apartheid isn’t bad? Oh for sure man.

Reasons that Richard Sherman doesn’t suck:

Many long years at a Starbucks taught me a lot of what I needed to know to be a union organizer. I’ll never forgive that shitty, dishonest company for it, but I’m in a good spot nowadays because of what I learned by enduring it.

Honestly, if CAPA made any one mistake it was not trying to get NCAA ruled a joint employer in this situation.

Aside from intimidation, retaliation against union supporters, harassment, special benefits being given to anti-union workers...

‘the extensive stand on race’ that got released was basically a reworking of his speech to the SCLC at the end of July.

I posted a link to this piece in HamNo’s piece about the Seattle protest, and it remains on point, especially when you consider the telegraphed protest in New Hampshire yesterday. http://thesouthlawn.org/2015/08/10/bla…

The action in New Hampshire still got written on in The New Republic well in advance, which allowed Clinton’s staffers to head off the action at the pass. If you don’t think that’s suspect as fuck, then I don’t know what else there is to say.

No mention of Battlestar Galactica? Really?

Motorola Atrix, alllll the way back in 2011, had fingerprint scanning. And Google Wallet was launched on the Nexus S at the end of 2010.

The 2022 World Cup is going to be played on what amount to mass graves.

Plus payroll taxes.

There’s no union for UFC fighters, and the Fertittas are anti-union dirtbags who have been going at it hammer and tongs with UNITE HERE for years at their properties. Fighters are also technically ICs and not employees, though that could potentially be challenged.

The Qatar World Cup is figuratively going to be held on top of a mass grave.

“Are we under martial law?”

The only thing that mitigates this asshole's behavior in any way is that WA does not have a tip credit in their minimum wage, meaning that workers get the state minimum wage regardless. She's still an idiot fucker with a giant entitlement complex though.

A lot of the issues you talk about in the Always Keep a Job Offer In Your Back Pocket are also ameliorated by union representation. Having a union contract isn't a silver bullet, but it does reduce fear of retaliation against you by bad managers.

Uh, y'all? It's far more likely that a Tory shitbag like Clarkson is talking about the BBC itself than Top Gear.
