Never said he was bad. I just don’t think he’s very good, either. He’s just kinda… meh.
An elite defense, some quality offensive talent, and a really good HC will take you pretty far.

Not very good players have a good day once in a while. Not sure why people want to take one game and say this changes his story so far.

Don’t have to be mean, just honest. Be polite, but be firm. Make them admit that the abuse of children is a line they’re willing to cross because they believe it benefits them.

That’s because the AI-driven content is by design. It’s cheaper for them. Drives me fuckin’ nuts how we’ve sold our collective soul to that garbage.

I like the idea of businesses competing by way of letting the purchasing public decide who offers the best stuff. That’s as far as it goes.
Those companies should be owned by their workers, full stop. You should own the fruits and means of your labor, and you shouldn’t be taken advantage of.

I’d be in favor of a wage cap for executives. There’s no reason for them to be making more than, let’s say 15x the lowest paid employee’s salary.

Hmm, turns out my perception of France was ill-researched and just wrong.

That’s where the safeguards of caps on essentials is important.
That and a high tax rate on the wealthiest in our society, as well as a high corporate tax rate.
Nobody *wants* to pay taxes. So a company will reinvest earnings back into the business rather than pay Uncle Sam.

I’d say that the modern perversion of capitalism is evil. Maybe what we’ve got is the inevitable result.
But I believe that if we socialized or put price caps essentials like medicine and food, and let the free market competition do the rest, we might have something.

Nancy Pelosi was an insider trading profiteer and deliberately stifled progressive voices in her own party, probably because she didn’t want them getting in the way of her making money.
Good riddance.

Didn’t y’all watch Star Wars? The same people who create the war can also claim to be your saviors?
This has been decades in the making. In sales we call it “manufacture a need.”

Because there are enough people in this country who refuse to elect a California politician as their President. There’s a perception that California politics are toxic and too far to the left.

Because Schumer sucks and is the head of the corporatist, establishment wing of the Democratic Party.

People will rave about the character growth and redemption in a fictional story like American History X, and then ostracize the real life example whose sins pale compared to Derek Vinyard.
The purity testing on the American political left continues, and it’s why they lose elections.
