Better be an awfully representative woman.

There are four paying passengers in the car, each paying slightly less than one normally would. The driver still makes one pickup and one dropoff. Seems like a better deal to me.

Defamation and tortious interference with prospective economic advantage. Other than moral satisfaction, there’s zero upside to it, from the former employer’s perspective.

No kidding. Calling this “the legally sound thing to do” is incredibly naive.

I kept hearing that, but when I checked out my local shelters (three county radius), literally every dog was a pit bull, a pit bull mix, or a pit bull mix being passed off as a boxer or “terrier mix.” All of them.

I know the vast majority of pits are great dogs. I know that many dogs are abandoned for reasons other…

I find it interesting that the show insists on portraying Jack as a Truly Great Father, when the at least 2/3 of the available evidence is to the contrary.

If your article repeatedly undercuts its own premise, maybe rethink the premise.

Exactly. And given how much MLBPA has gone out of their way to hose athletes who aren’t yet members, I have little sympathy that they’ve now managed to screw up their own situation.

“ What’s not fine, however, is that they’ve had their salaries artificially suppressed for 7 years during their rookie and arbitration years.”

Gee, who agreed to that setup? Union members have long been content with a system that screws over amateurs, international players, minor leaguers, and those with low service…

HamNo knows best. And if anyone disagrees, he’ll turn to a different (not necessarily higher) power of government to enforce his view.

If your job exists at Amazon, them coming to town will almost certainly be good for you. Even if you aren’t interested in leaving, the competition will drive up your wage. You may not like the traffic or the annoyance, but there will be some benefit.

“until Jan. 2019.”

Patting yourself on the back for supporting a brand new team at a time when the local MLB and NFL teams are hot garbage.

Isn’t it easier to build a few bars near the existing stadium than to build an entire stadium AND new bars? (And do whatever with the old stadium?)

The empty fields west of Huntington Park, and potentially the battle zone west of COSI.

Slightly grey area, but the FTC would almost certainly tell you the Guides cover “soft” endorsements like this. The Guides define the term “product” to include “any product, service, company or industry,” which would support the view that both specific (“use Exxon”) and general (“big oil isn’t so bad”) endorsements…

The greatest.

This piece still needs four rounds of editing. It’s the journalistic equivalent of circling the block looking for a parking space.

Deadspin publishing another long piece banging on other journalists, rather than turning over rocks themselves.

If you’re working for $50 a month, you’re either a hobbyist or a fool.

Either way, you’re in no position to second-guess how someone else runs their business.
