Paying them $200,000 a year won’t make kids care about school, it won’t make their parents care about their kids’ education, it won’t give the local communities a vested interest in an educated populace, and so forth. The state of schools in poor areas goes far, far beyond the teachers’ paychecks. It’s a sign of the…

So people are effectively punished for holding on to their assets?

I read that when Leicester City won the EPL, only a handful of the original bets were still around. The vast majority of people cashed out.

So was my grandpa, but for whatever reason, that’s not looked upon fondly in my family.

Are you friends with Bill Simmons or something?

Post Gates, a lot of these people end up donating most of it to charities.

I just think Capcom is incompetent.

What do you think amazon would rather do. What you describe, or deal with a union?

And on the flip side he knows that he will be asked about it so why does he need to throw a tantrum

Except Belichick is a coach who has the entire team in his purview. Richard Sherman’s job is to stop guys from catching the ball and Bennett’s job is to hit a guy who has the ball. Asking why they did not do either of those is NOT a dumb question.

Roger Goodell really made a hash of this relocation episode. I’m really surprised; he’s so competent at everything else.

Bernie was a change candidate, in a change election. Clinton literally campaigned on being a 3rd Obama term. I would argue Sanders would have easily won the general.

The post-war Democratic Party was built on working class solidarity and now it is losing the working class vote to Republican billionaires. Only in the sort of smug, insular world of the elites that people like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton operate in and govern for would “this is fine” be a response to that.

Two games in a row disappointed sales-wise. I wouldn’t bet on a Titanfall 3.

It’s quite telling that this is literally the most basic part of tax calculation yet people are totally flummoxed by it. Doesn’t bode well for the rest.

It gets eaten up depending on where you live or the size if your mortgage. But even if that’s all it does, it means the government is subsidizing your home maintenance which is substantial.

That guy was lost every time. He was lost during Splatoon 2 too, which I think was his first appearance. He just didn’t know what he was doing. They were better off getting Trinen to talk.
