The correct view of an employer as monopsony is that it is difficult for you to quit and find another job, so in the short term your current employer is the only one buying your services. This applies to any employer, not just big ones; in fact, “sharing economy” services like Uber break the employer’s monopsony hold,…

In economics, a monopsony (from Ancient Greek μόνος (mónos) “single” + ὀψωνία (opsōnía) “purchase”) is a market structure in which only one buyer interacts with many would-be sellers of a particular product.

I am also a DC resident, and honestly? I can’t get that worked up about it. If you retrocede the District to Maryland, it’s not like those people will be more meaningfully represented than they are now.

Term limits for Congress are not a good idea, unless your objective is to arrogate even more day-to-day power to the administrative state.

Well, the OP doesn’t provide enough information to make that call one way or another. If the roommate is a student or congressional employee it could be above-board.

Okay, moving to vote sounds stupid when it is way easier to just keep a license and get your shit sent to your parents address

But not the one we need right now.

If only 2-8% of rape accusations are demonstrably false, it does not logically follow that 92-98% of rape accusations are true.

Right? I mean, Stark tracked down a kid in underoos based on a hunch, but he won’t put in a call to the miniaturized Hulk walking around Harlem?

I believe Feige has said they had something on the order of 4-5 hours of raw footage once they wrapped, which to my understanding isn’t atypical for a feature film. There’s no storage limitations like those that existed back in the age of celluloid, so there’s no reasons not to just do a bunch of takes and figure it…

This is a bad opinion, and you should feel bad for holding it.

Well if we’re scoping out that much, we’re obviously talking about before the career of every famous comic actor pretty much ever.

Probably. Though that would have been a time before the original Ghostbusters—which was largely improvised—was made

Jones isn’t on a rookie contract, and Fleury will be gone by the time Murray’s next deal kicks in. Smart teams manage their pipelines so they don’t get stuck devoting $9M+ to goaltending.

when you have a player like Larkin you want to spend as little time rebuilding as possible

That beautiful Swedish bastard ain’t getting any younger. Things are going to get ugly as hell in Manhattan if and when he hits the wall.

Yes. Most elite teams are paying their backup $1M or less—and both of their goaltenders less than $8M combined—because average goaltending is available from the minors or off the FA scrapheap every year. Unless you’re talking about a goaltender who can consistently provide .920+ goaltending—and there are only maybe 5…

Milbury might be a shitbag, but he’s not wrong that the Red Wings’ goaltending situation is a cap-fucking mess.

Why would we? He had ~40 good games to start his career, and has been a boy among men ever since.
