I agree. Selling much less product and making much less money is markedly easier than selling a lot and making a lot.

They’re not bad looking, they’re just not worth 500 bucks

I’m not sure the math here checks out...

Are you a weekend rec league ref?

That price point makes it impossible for me to even see the shoes. It’s like they’re sitting behind a giant price tag. I’m looking at them, but all I’m thinking is “that better be 24K gold on those shoes.”

I use uber because trying to get a cab is terrible, when you can get one to come you’d better call for it hours in advanced and if its a short ride forget about it

It’s the same shit female cab drivers have been dealing with for fucking decades. Personally, 22 years. People are jerks to folks who work in service industries to begin with. When they are in am enclosed space it gets worse. The taxi industry warned you all this would happen and now you’re surprised.

No. Are you kidding me? Just no. This was never a thing. From the time of the thirteen colonies and ask the way through to now, the very wealthy have mostly not lived “more or less like everyone else”. In fact, the testament to this is all up and down the east coast. Go visit Bar Harbor or the coasts of Rhode island.…

You know, there was a time in America when the rich made it a point of pride to live more or less like everyone else.

Yes, first thing that came to mind when I read that was the robber barons. I’m not sure when he’s even thinking of. Sounds like some Truman-era myth-making.

When was this time, because even egalitarian Thomas Jefferson had Monticello.

That’s what I was thinking. I don’t know where the idea that the rich were cuturally-insulating themselves less than they are now would even come from.

“You know, there was a time in America when the rich made it a point of pride to live more or less like everyone else.”

My thoughts exactly. Fuck this lady and her high horse.

Oh for fucks sake Charlie Strong is one of the few people in college football who doesn’t seem like the scum of the earth. One who actually takes the idea of helping players grow as individuals seriously. This is a judge in Florida. If Strong is the first thing out of south Florida to have caused you shame, either…

Wait, so Strong wasn’t even in the courtroom? She was just yelling into the heavens?

When the substitute teacher isn’t actually physically present for the berating, like a crazy person would.

It’s good that Judge Taylor (who was apparently addressing Coach Strong as if he were actually present in the courtroom and has players not recruited by him under 24-hour surveillance and wearing magnetic boots on a metal floor to lock them into place) lives in a place where having a USF diploma has caused her no…

I agree that college (and the NFL for that matter, shit) football has a lengthy history with unethical and disgusting behavior, but this seems an awfully lot like a principal scolding a substitute teacher for the behavior of a few kids in class.

He paid for the insurance himself, not sure how this could possibly be a violation.
