Quite frankly you could have replaced “college tuition” with “NYC/San Fransisco/Vancouver etc. housing” or “international labor” or any number short-sighted American graft scams and your post would still make sense.

*Thinks about this idea

I think my wife and kids are gonna have a couple of questions for me if one of my exes is crashing on our living room couch.

Everything’s a game for those unfamiliar with consequences.

I thought that was heart disease.

Oh good! Now both of my children can be carted off to die in a country they’ve never lived in. Good news!

Jesus, you’re at the “why don’t they pick the soccer ball up and run with it?” stage of understanding systemic market interactions.

If we’re talking chili or lasagna (or cheese sandwiches ammirite?!?) I completely agree; make a ton on Sunday night and eat it all week. But greens and produce does not last like that, even if prepped individually and mixed together before eating. That and the cost of premium salad ingredients is higher than most…

“Your choice not do use a cell phone is just that - a choice. And because of that choice then you might not get access to coupons that others do”

Something, something, evil (((George Soros))) but also in a pro-Isreal way somehow.

Honestly, I can’t even tell what he’s upset about here. The closest I can get to figuring it out is that he thinks any American system that deviates from white men in the workplace and their wives back at home with the children is de facto bad no matter what the realities of life are. And that’s the kindest, most sane…

A British style of monarchy is actually a good example of what a modern one could look like. The monarch is the head of state essentially and lends a longterm viewpoint and national sense of obligation without all the obvious crap that having the monarch as the head of the executive would. I honestly think that if…

You will rarely, if ever see management/ownership mention the fact that they are working in a zero-sum game; that by the nature of the sport there are going to always be teams X games above and Y games below .500 and someone is eventually going to win the championship. By the organization of their schedules, divisions…

Dumb and rudest, perhaps. But the most vile, callous and spitefully awful are still the racist trolls on The Root. I am always shocked reading the greys there that people still feel comfortable airing racist bullshit like that in this era.

Correct me if I’m wrong but his regular caddy (and most professional PGA caddies) are salaried and are given socially or informally agreed upon bonuses for making cuts, top XYZ finishes and winning events, etc. right? If so I don’t see how Ortiz’s situation should be treated differently.

Yup. Pack it up New York City, the financial capital of the world. It was a good run but without Amazon here to provide jobs for 0.001% of the population, it’s the end of the road.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about “using their infrastructure.” It wasn’t going to cost New York anything”

Holy shit, why are people like you so fucking convinced that New York would see a net boon from this boondoggle? You think that allowing what is essentially the largest shipping company in the history of the world to use your infrastructure without offsetting the costs of upkeep is a good idea? This is the same type…

I have no idea what business you work in but last minute replacement contractor workers generally cost more than your salaried employee. And because his normal caddy is already salaried, the 10% winnings would be considered a tip. Which is not part of his contract, in the same way a waiter doesn’t have to sign a…

Yup. Gizmodo’s the real problem here. You fucking nailed it.
