What strawman? Uber exists because it ignores labor laws. Just like anyone else who ignores laws it has an advantage over others who don’t.

The fan spirit is contagious. Unfortunately, the fan syphilis is drug resistant.

They’re going to have so damn much to talk about when they are reunited in the rooms of AA in a few short years from now.

How have I wasted my life being a cowboys fan? These are clearly my kind of people.

I think I’m in love.

Anyhow, apparently as a small child - toddler small - she used to take me a playgroup. There was an older child, although still smallish, who would regularly just walk up…
