Because it’s fun to watch bad things happen to evil people.

Why are you lying? Transmission losses from power plants to homes is 8%-15%, not the 33% number you pulled out of your ass. Overall well-to-wheel efficiency is better for EVs, too. About 30% of the energy from the fuel is converted into motion, which is double what you get in a dead dinosaur car.

Sure, when you break my position down to a ridiculous strawman, it sounds dumb. Personally I don’t think LeBron creates *any* value with his work, even less than toothpick guy. He’s the hype man for the team’s brand.

I think it’s ridiculous that anyone is paid millions of dollars to entertain people. He doesn’t work a thousand times harder than the guy making minimum wage selling the shirts with his name on them.

No, because I am not profiting off their labor.

First, you have the other players on the team who earn far less than he does.

“What laborer did Mr Beast exploit?”

It’s a very American view of mass transit vs car ownership, though. Maybe you’re Canadian and the US is a bad influence on you. I thought Canadian cities were at least marginally better planned than American pavement hell.

It’s called a feel-good feel-bad story. You feel good because there’s someone out there spending money to help people. Then you feel bad because if our society wasn’t shit, those people wouldn’t have needed charity. Then you feel worse because the society that forced those people to rely on charity for basic health…

This is the most aggressively American thing I will read today.

On Twitter, call it a twit.

I think you’ll be surprised what the generation that grew up traumatized by active shooter drills will be capable of when they become a major voting bloc.

Allowing it to continue to exist with restrictions on gun ownership, such as background checks and licensing, *is* the middle ground.

And all of that is built on sweatshop labor in the global south making cheap licensed merch for the team.

Come back when you know what “exploitation” means in an economic context. You can start here:

Hank Scorpio: wants to rule the world with an iron fist, but still wants his employees to be happy

“Earned” is a strong word to use here. Nobody gets $54 million by earning it. They get it by exploiting the people who worked for it.

But you’re arguing that gun ownership should be easier than car ownership when you say the default should be “Yes, you can own a firearm”. The default for a car is “you need hours of practice, a written exam, a practical exam, registration, liability insurance, and in some places annual safety inspections”. That’s way…

Why should firearms have a lower barrier of entry than car ownership?
