Zatlan Ibrahimovic said something that applies to all American sports leagues: Money trumps wins...always. The reason elite players aren’t getting elite money is fans and media are buying that it isn’t worth it for them to see marginal wins. If I was a fan and my team won 80 games, heck yeah I'd want them to splurge…

I honestly didn’t think the number would be that high so I decided not to say anything about it. I’m very anti-uber because of the screwing workers, the vulture capitalism, the displacement of cab drivers, etc. If you use one of the article values of 60 cents then pay goes down around 15%. I'm trying to get at that…

Coal mining was bad for labor practices. Uber is bad for labor practices and pay. I didn't mean to come off so hard on the drivers but, c'mon, people don't seem to be looking for work and just hope somehow this system which was designed to not support people will magically support them long-term.

A little back of the envelope: If you are driving for Uber full time, you essentially are using your car exclusively for that purpose in terms of depreciation. Let’s say that car is $20000 and has a 200000 mile lifetime. Let’s say you drive 300 miles a day and get paid for 250 of them (70ish cents/mile). That’s losing…

Uber and lift are like 10 years old. Literally what thought did these drivers put into this? If you don’t like driving for Uber, don’t drive for Uber. And then pass this bill to restore the ability of cab drivers to make a living. These drivers willingly take food off the plates of regulated cab drivers and then have…

I'm glad this guy has enough from the NBA to not be bought off so easily. I always think to myself maybe this shit wouldn't happen so often if the settlements were taken out of police pensions directly.

That's a no then...

Are you over 6 feet tall?

Thought this was a different thread, my bad. Anyway if you don't think the problem starts with everybody maybe you haven't been paying attention for the last 804 years.

Well I'll bet we both know which of my aforementioned groups you're in.

When has either party let the constitution get in the way of an agenda?

Based on my personal experience, I would estimate the percent of consistently republican voters who are sycophants ate around 40% of the group. The others tend to be single issue voters (Anti-gun control, less immigration, lower taxes, etc.) although some vote based on many issues.

AOC can’t even get anything productive done in her district.

You should calculate gas and, more importantly, depreciation. Lets say that $20 is for 1 gallon of gas in driving (very conservative estimate) at $3. Now here’s where the depreciation comes in. If you drive 50 extra miles, assuming a $20000 car and expected service of 100k miles, that comes to $10 dollars of…

1967, holy shit. And I heard the NYT was throwing a tantrum about people looking through what their staff said on Twitter not even 10 years ago. Deomcrats could win every election by 30 points if they would just stop with all the hypocritical bullshit.

Trump is the Iraq war is a clown-tier take. Let’s look at an advanced metric I’ll call Deaths over Replacement President (DORP). A typical president will have some blood on his hands since almost every president has a military cause celebre to some extent. For example, president Clinton would be close to replacement…

1. All data point to those having a uterus not being able to perform at a top level equivalent to those without.

I like how billionaire spend due to vanity amd it can throw everything out of wack. Royals worth $1 bin? I’m a White Sox fan, what are they, $1.5? Does this mean the Cubs are $5 bin and the Yankees $10 bin.

If the employers are skirting laws like overtime or breal periods, that's one thing. Making chicken sandwiches for money when it's what you signed up for is quite another. 

If you can’t afford it and you can be cured a different way where other people aren't contributing excess labor, why is that not preferable to society? Do you even Marxism?
