I’m betting on Rigondeaux’s patience to pay off. It’s not his fault necessarily that many of his fights are unwatchable given that his opponents usually refuse to make the first move or to even fight really (see: Joseph Agbeko) but Lomachenko has something to prove whereas Rigondeaux really does not at this point in…

Perhaps it would help if Democratic politicians tame down the “I wanna ride the Silicon Valley groovy train” talks and take a look at some low-tech options too? Because they can be very profitable and does not necessarily pose a reputational risk to the politician.

Ain’t the silence deafening? I don’t know how many times I mentioned Flint as exhibit #1 of what austerity does to people on Kinja at this point. It’s aggravating enough that both Democrats and Republicans openly embrace austerity in the name of balanced budgets, but every time I criticize the Democrats for this, I am…

Yep, nothing to discuss here. Stop dreaming about ponies and accept the brown water, you get what you pay for being in the lowest tax bracket. How dare you expect the same quality water as high rate tax payers?

I’m pretty sure saw Jake Dobkin out on the street on Tuesday after he had voted. Deep inside I wanted to punch him but I’m not violent and also see that it’s not all his fault. He’s part of guilty party but this decision was not solely on him and his politics is one of decency (not counting how it affects his wallet…

Ooh, you got me there. But since you mentioned numbers, is there a dispute about the numbers for QE as well? Just asking since we want to get technical and avoid the bigger question about the Democrats’ approach to deficits. Do you have an answer for Joan Walsh or how the Obama administration decided on a smaller…

The consensus back then was that the stimulus was too small to make a difference, especially compared to the 6 trillion package that banks got. Why do you think that is?

I’m assuming you are referring to the Democrats as the minority party but if you recall, they were the majority party before the 2016 elections. Having a majority position did not change their outlook or beliefs about the deficits at all so I’m not sure I understand, please elaborate further.

Yes! This is what I am talking about, thank you Katie McDonough. This posture by mainstream Democrats of the Hillary wing (i.e. “ponies”), including Tim ‘fiscal hero’ Kane is why I remain a Sanders supporter, not because I saw the election as a binary choice of identity politics or class. America is the wealthiest…

Now that the perp’s been identified, you give us the word Terry, and we’ll go medieval on his ass. No one messes with Julius.

Typical Innovation Democrat who is part of the revolving door of government, Wall Street and Silicon Valley and devoid of real solutions to poverty and inequality.

It is is a very localized, specific political response devoid of economics, perhaps reflecting his own experience. I remember reading another article from Kirsten West Savali over the weekend where she wrote that “you can’t have capitalism without racism.” I wondered about this sentence for a while and understood that…

This is all the proof I need. Both Senators Warren and Sanders passionately spoke out against PROMESA before it was enacted and it was no suprise that these two eventually refused to vote for PROMESA unlike most of their DNC counterparts. The fact that Sanders was at the new ground zero of austerity makes complete…

Speak for yourself, I may not be black or Latinx, but I am still an immigrant and proud to be a Sanders supporter. Your repeated attempts to paint Sanders as a whites-only candidate while devoid of any substantial policy discussion is telling in itself - it’s not the policies that matter, it’s the cult of personality…

Okay, this plain sucks. My go to source for anything happening in NYC is gone as is its backup. Y’all mostly live around here, perhaps it’s time there be a NYC-centric subsection of this Haim Saban enterprise and HamNo will lead the unionzation drive like he wrote a while back.

Here’s to Gothamist, goodbye old friend.

As a Bernie Sanders supporter, I don’t care about this. Sure it’s ugly and controversial but as I have back then, I am willing to look past the politics. The biggest and only issue with Hillary and like-minded Dems is not their identity politics but their economics: it plain sucks, outdated and has too much in common…

The fact that your comment still remains unpublished over dozens of idiotic ones is emblematic of that inherent struggle, no? I’m all too familiar with this, people jumping on style over substance and looking at you like you’re the crazy one for having educated, well-thought out comments that are 1,000 words too many…

Paulie Malignaggi sniffs the controversy and wants in on the fight.

Speak of oil dollars, maybe you’ll appreciate this. Apparently Putin has ordered all oil trades in Russian seaports to be conducted in Rubles. Cute move Vlady, now convince the rest of the world this is the way to go and I’ll actually pay some attention to it.
