Agree — although “dominate” is too strong. Play well, contribute for a upper tier Bundesliga team, look like he belongs, etc — yes

that would be a distinction without a difference

SCOTUS nominees get voted down from time to time (as noted above). Would everyone feel better if Garland simply had been voted down? I’m not sure how that would have changed anything other than a lot of Senate / press pants wetting over it.

isnt the self voidable contract a way for a team to pay a player more, not less?

“At least some SEIU members have announced plans for a huge May Day strike. Will you participate?”

pre-insurance: $2,000 emergency room bill was a problem

would really like to see the analysis that suggests that its fare only covers 40% of the cost of such fare.

multiple competing people, not tied to the government — but appointed and supervised by the government. Presumably, some Fed Govt entity will have to vet, choose and supervise these people managing the SWF. If they are appointed, then they are controlled. Again: that is an enormous amount of power concentrated in…

“Also, the less concentrated capital ownership is the less power individual owners have to sway government decision making.”
