The “Russ’s supporting cast is so much worse” argument seems really overblown. Harden doesn’t have as single All-Star on his team either. That team’s not winning shit with Beverly and Gordon running the show, either. Vegas’s preseason over/under for OKC was 45.5 and Houston was 41.5 (

Something seems off here, Giri. If they have a worse record, they will have better, not worse, odds to get a top 3 pick, right?

You travel truthers drive me a little crazy. Granted, there are a lot of uncalled travels in the NBA, some of them quite egregious. But I see so many comments wrongly calling out walks on NBA highlights that are just hard to understand.

It seems like maybe he’s referring to one of these when he says butter knife:

This set is the best thing I got for my wedding:

Holy Christ, this drives me nuts. No matter how many times I demonstrate to my wife that chopping an onion with a pairing knife is extraordinarily more time consuming than using the very nice chef’s knife that we have, she persists. “That’s just the way I like to do it.” I’ve learned to just be thankful for the fact…

Nailed it. Both paring and bread knives are way too low on Drew’s list.

Yup. And that dude didn’t win MVP either.

That all makes sense if your assumptions are valid. I am not an economist so I can’t say whether they are. I am curious how, if it is true that companies that pay living wages will be driven out of business unless they substantially jack their prices, you account for businesses like Costco that manage to be very…

Do you really love conference titles but don’t worry too much about NCAA tournament success? If so, you’re in for a wonderful experience as a KU fan.

Yup. And their solution to that problem was to turn Isaiah Thomas and Goran Dragic into Brandon Knight. Not ideal.

Thats’ fair. I think that’s a strong argument in favor of a broader increase in the minimum wage to a living wage. The disincentives to treating employees fairly are too strong when others are allowed to exploit them.

This program has everything required to be a top 10-15 program (I’m thinking Wisky or MSU, not UK and UNC).

Hmmm. I’m pretty sure it’s actually the type of employment that is designed to allow McDonald’s to sell their products to the public and thus create profit. McD’s is running a business, not a fucking job training program, and the spoils of that endeavor should be shared fairly with the people who are necessary to its…

But who decides that? Obviously McDonalds is pretty fucking profitable, demonstrating that the employees are adding quite a bit of value. Why does the majority of that value belong to stockholders, who contribute jack shit to making a McD’s burger, instead of the laborers who actually create the value?

Increasing wages means decreasing competitiveness means decreasing total job creation.

1990 was a long time ago, my friend. Much has happeneed since then.
