Also, people who are fundamentally ignorant of how to actually calculate the value of their work. When you add up stuff like 0.58 USD per mile driven, the cost of unemployment insurance, the cost of paid sick days, the cost of employment taxes, the cost of medical insurance, and everything else that you pay yourself…

Whole Foods does the same thing with their grocery pickers: just hire more people than there will ever be hours for, and you will never get people to organize because there are too many. And with that many people desperate for hours, no one will ever be full time.

I think part of the reason Uber and Lyft are able to keep soldiering on is that there’s a seemingly inexhaustible supply of hard-up folks that are willing to give it a try, often in spite of the horror stories they’ve heard.  You’ve got to think that that supply of labor will dry up sooner than later. 

Dunno, that’s a pretty basic one right there. You want to be salty and pissy and not even extend the courtesy of a handshake, then yeah, I’m fine with Sherman’s reaction. Sherman didn’t do the equivalent of throwing a fastball at someone’s head, he just said it motivated him. Nothing to see here.

Luke-warm take: It’s ok to be annoyed if a guy refuses to shake your hand before the game.

I like Richard Sherman - I don’t think he’s asking too much to have a respectful handshake before the game. Why not?

The guy is a hero for standing up for what he believes in, in the face of an oppressive government.  The fact that he beats up Tai Chi dorks is icing on the cake.

This was fascinating and illuminating. Glad Deadspin is sticking so closely to sports like this.

IS PUNCTUATION A LIBERAL PLOT? DON’T YOU HATE WHEN THEY CORRECT YOUR SPELLING & GRAMMAR? 

I gave up on this guy’s reviews last season when he complained that the show wasn’t telling him how to feel...if I wanted someone to tell me how to feel, I’d quit watching television and join a cult. 

C+? Why are you reviewing South Park if a really good episode like this gets a C+? This was the best premiere in years. The episode didn’t make a coherent point because they’re just setting up the plots. You don’t complain a film isn’t a complete package 15 minutes in, do you?

The Nuremberg Defense is and always will be horseshit.

Maybe not virulent racists, but the median is at least a solid percentage more racist than non-ICE Americans, which is pretty fucking racist.

Free mustache rides?

If you want to spend 2 hours in space with a sad guy, it should be this one:

Howdy officer. Beat any minorities today? Fuck the cops and anyone who cooperates with them. And the lily white peckerwoods who argue for snitching. You upvvote this shit you’re rat fink scum

I was wondering what could possibly have gotten the Republicans on board with releasing the IG’s report, but it seems clear now: they are hoping to pull a Barr Report thing.

For those of you (like me), who were wondering - he ended up being paid over $14 million for his one year in San Francisco and he’s currently D-line coach for Washington. While he’s moved down the NFL owner hierarchy in terms of who to work for (nowhere to go but up from Snyder), I happy to see that he got enough out…

You must have missed the part where Trump publicly said that he did withhold the military funds.

I’m no lawyer, but I did read the transcript and he’s definitely guilty of something. But that’s not the worst of his problems. No, his biggest problem is that he just sunk Biden’s campaign.
