You realize this isn’t really about college athletics, right?  

I am in my 40s. I listen to a variety of music (rap, rock, metal, punk), but not R&B or pop. I am aware of the song “I believe I can fly” and I am aware of R. Kelly (mostly from “South Park” and his legal issues), but if pressed I could not have told you that he performed this song.

Agreed.  But it appears that the company has significant paperwork (performance improvement plan, etc) to back up their side of the story.  We will have to see how it plays out; as I said: there are always two sides to every story and the truth is usually somewhere in between.

“Most companies are both racist and sexist. How do we know this? Because most companies are run by white men.”

Thanks for posting the update.  There are two sides to every story and obviously this has yet to play out fully, but it is good to hear an official statement from Founders that fills in some of the details from their side.

Unfortunately, it needs to be acknowledged that there are occasions when people lie for money.

I tried that. It was hard to choke down that way.

Box of generic mac and cheese = 34 cents (in 1993). I could get two meals of that and “borrow” the needed milk and butter from my roommate. I’d do that two or three times a week.  I didn’t eat mac and cheese again until approximately 2009.

“Why do people like basketball so much?”

Soooo....you can survive for two weeks without food.  Maybe he made himself feel less hungry (or got a slight sugar jolt that gave him energy) by eating hot sauce, but he didn’t survive for 5 days on hot sauce (i.e. he would have survived without hot sauce too).  Dehydration would have been a much bigger issue, but…

I wholeheartedly endorse your right to hate mayo (I like mayo, but that is also OK). And it is BS for anyone to try to get you to change your mind, and it sucks when it is added to something when you have asked that it be left off.

What alternative are you proposing?  If additional “parenting detention facilities” (i.e. detention areas where a mother can remain with her very young child), then please state that, as well as how many units are needed, what the cost would be, what the construction timeline would be and what should be done in the…

I’m confused by the “complaint” that most employees are minorities (that’s a weird sentence, but you know what I mean).  Are you advocating for giving fewer minorities jobs?  That seems, uh, counterintuitive.

Serious question: why link climate change action with all of this other stuff? (or if you prefer, why link universal health care with all this other stuff?)  It’s too big.  Not realistic.  No chance to pass.  It would be much better to take on multiple smaller (but aggressive) ideas individually.

Lucy was asking the Hoyts for more money.  Rather than continue to pay her, they killed her.

I would be fine with universal access to  birth control and abortion.  I’m in favor of less people, not more, so universal healthcare doesn’t further that goal.

So your assertion was that alcohol was cheaper during Prohibition (when it was illegal, but not taxed) than it was after the 21st Amendment passed?  If so, please provide a citation for that statement.

If it becomes legal, wouldn’t you expect prices to go down rather than up? 

Agreed, but in practice, feds (i.e. DEA) haven’t been superceding local laws (in any jurisdiction that I am aware of), except in some very specific cases (i.e. federal lands within a local jurisdiction where it is legal, or in weird places like DC where it is legal but you can’t buy or sell it)

Alternate take: if you cannot afford to have children, don’t have children.
