I agree the best way to defeat this type of bigotry is to show how empty the alt-rights philosophy is. The Voting Rights Act was passed by Congress because MLK Jr. organized the Selma marches which broadcast the horribleness of racism into living rooms across the country.

A major issue right now is that everyone is…

It’s like performance art at this point

He’s very confident his D will be able to neutralize a non-mobile pocket passer like Drewey

I agree the government has been giving tax breaks to prevent companies from moving for years. I think it is bad policy in that it is haphazard and hasn’t prevented jobs from moving overseas. My point and the point of the article is that Trump ran a campaign where claimed he was going to change the way the government…

Not a new thing at all, but it doesn’t mean it’s good policy. Didn’t Trump just run a campaign about changing the way Washington does business?

While it is great that 1,000 jobs are staying in the country, the devil will be in details. If the jobs are staying because United Technologies will receive tax breaks then every company in the country will threaten to move to Mexico in order to score a similar deal.

This strategy could easily result into a brawl between the teams

I’m a bitter Rangers fan who hated watching a talented but injury prone guy like Gaborik being asked to block shots on a nightly basis. He also banished Kreider to the minor leagues the year after he had a breakout performance in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. I haven’t watched his team this season but I’ve read he may…

Meanwhile in Columbus the Blue Jackets are over-achieving with an asshat as a coach. I hope when they come back to earth and fire Tortorella, they do it Edmonton in February (or some other remote and seasonally unpleasant local). Management assembles the team in the parking lot and has them kneel as the national…

Ha, I guess they all would have failed the test!

The thing that got me was how routine the hit looked. This wasn’t Vontaze Burfict cleaning Antonio Browns clock in last years wildcard playoff. How many times each Sunday do you see a similar hit to the one Kuechlys took? As as has been said many times before there really is no way for the league to regulate this out.…

I think the NHL’s as entertaining as it’s been in years. There has been an infusion of great young talent in the last couple of years. Some of these guys are wizards with the puck. If they did some of their skill moves in a past era they would have been bound up and thrown into the nearest body of water to see if they…

29 states plus DC require a Masters degree to be a teacher.

I think it varies by city, in Washington DC for instance the height of buildings is regulated by the ‘The Height of Buildings Act’ which restricts the height of buildings to 130 feet tall. San Francisco has strict height restrictions, which limit density.

Absolutely. DC’s height regulations are a huge driver of real estate prices there.

Yeah who needs teachers? (avg. starting salary of $34,000 requires a masters degree)

Also improving infrastructure, like subways. A great example is the new 2nd avenue subway opening in NYC. This has spurred development of 19 new large housing developments on Manhattans east side. While none of these developments will be affordable per se, the people moving will (theoretically) be vacating their old…

Access to infrastructure makes the property more desirable and increases competition among potential renters causing prices to rise. It’s got little to do with taxes. Its occurring in real-time with the second avenue subway in New York City. Taxes didn’t go up, but rents are rising significantly in anticipation of the…

2017 G20 Summit Hamburg, Germany: Outcome the tic-tacs and boom Angela Merkel gets grabbed right by the pussy. Despite the existence of video tape, Trump denies the exchange ever occurred because “she’s a 4" (Though I’m not sure if this helps or hurts Drumpf with his base)

I don’t think he’ll quit (though god willing I hope he does), he’ll probably become more of a ceremonial president and lean on his kids to do the actual day to day stuff
