Except that it’s true. This isn’t a dig at millenials, just that there’s less awareness now then back when juke boxes where the primary way music was played.

Who said bar industry people are on the side of millionaire bands putting their hands in our pockets?

If they come in I’ll buy them a beer.

Radio pays ASCAP. The trade off is ads.

Spotify offers a commercial option that covers it. Sirius too.

Radio pays for it. That means of course you get ads. There are plenty of others too you can use at a price that are ad free. Most vending companies cover it if you have a juke box.

Yeah, changing emmisions standards did nothing to massively reduce acid rain. Eliminating CFC’s didn’t reduce and then stop the hole in the ozone layer. Those are fake news, right?

I hope you don’t do this in real life.

Not by bars.

I alternate between thinking all of Splinter’s staff are college freshmen or that they are simply master trolls.

ASCAP and BMI sending people in to inspect bars is largely a myth. Their business model mostly consists of them cold calling bars and tricking them into admitting they play music in violation of the terms. Only then do they go after you and possibly send someone in. They very rarely sue, and it’s just for PR purposes.…

That’s giving her a pass we wouldn’t afford other athletes. At the same time, this is a faux pas at worst. They have a limited time to monetize this attention and she simply made a less than ideal choice.

I do have sympathy for you, lots. But in this case Toronto knew exactly what it was signing up for. Kawhi acted in good faith at least in that he never indicated otherwise.OKC got a great deal so it’s a moot point, but Paul George asking for a trade one year in was a bullshit move.

Not to mention that between now and then I suspect the owners will be highly motivated to put yet another mechanism in place to help small market teams.

Without a doubt. This year’s FA shows the effective “middle class” players making say $8-$10 million are going extinct.

DPVE can only be effective if the extra money doesn’t count against the cap. Otherwise it only works in a very limited scenario, where the championship roster is already assembled and the team is already capped out. Golden St. for example. For most teams though, you are right, it is crippling.

The Knicks are the exception to so many many different rules.

I might add it was Fudge herself who today called out the freshmen 4 on playing “the race card.”

You do understand, both the Senate and President are GOP controlled? So please, tell me how Pelosi will solve those issues under these circumstances. Tell me how AOC would if she were speaker. I’ll wait.

I must add this, removing him from office via impeachment is literally impossible right now with a GOP controlled Senate. So impeaching him right now is strictly for political effect, nothing else. While not meaningless, more important is the far more effective means of simply winning in 2020, which certainly becomes…
