Because having money means your opinions matter. Are you new here?

This is a very uncool take. A lack of civic engagement, where people are more likely to research conspiracy theories and celebrity gossip than learn about the actual fundamentals that should affect their vote, is arguably the underlying problem behind much of our societal decay. It’s a good thing when influential…

Only like 25% of NHL players are Americans anyway so I’m willing to bet that Trump support is extremely low overall.

Cool, you’re in the public domain, let’s all publish everything about Mr. Nolan...Phone numbers, taxes, income statements, address, everything! Anyone know anything, post it here!

“We are in the midst of one of those periodic collective uproars that demonstrate that a surprising number of people employed in the field of journalism are not actually all that in favor of reporting.”
