Time is owned by Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce, which is currently trying to sell its AI tool to ICE in order to triple their recruitment. just a thing I think about sometimes while I’m at work, implementing his product for nonprofits.

To you yankees and west coasters seeing this thinking this is what the south deserves: they're coming for blue cities in a heavily gerrymandered state that otherwise would likely be a blueish-purple state. Repubs have robbed our voices.
Support us, because blue fortresses are not immune to this.

Arthur Blank probably could have saved about $20 million on an #NWSL club if he had called Steve Malik first.

This is absurd. You don't build momentum by disappearing for a year.
Sources: North Carolina FC has applied for membership to USL's new D1 league, which is set to start in 2028.
NCFC's USL membership expires after this season. So club's plan is to wait to return until D1 league starts (with pro/rel).
No guarantee they get membership, but that's the plan
