Telling soldiers that they can not following unconstitutional orders is treason? Does Trump know what treason means?

The US has minimum wage laws. (They are woefully insufficient.)

If you have a gift card, they already have the money. Not using the value of the gift card is actually a gift to the company. If you never use it, they don’t need to give you anything in return.

Never share your data with ActBlue.
I support Dem causes, but this is unforgivable. There are better ways to donate.

No way to opt out of receiving text messages from current and future Dem candidates…
I stopped donating through ActBlue a decade ago because of this. I STILL continue to get text messages asking for donations from candidates I’ve never heard of on the other side of the country.

Yes, I’m aware the rate increased this year. It was $50 million as of last year. The economics of the WNBA have definitely improved. I agree the players should earn more. But they shouldn’t have pay parity with the NBA (of now or the 90s). They don’t have the same level of interest.

The WNBA expansion fee as of 2024 was $50 million. Maybe we’ll see increased player salaries after the new collective bargaining agreement is finalized. I’m sure there will be a boost, but nowhere near NBA salaries (even 90s salaries).

The average WNBA franchise is valued at about $270 million (in today’s dollars). The Knicks sold for $1.1 billion in 1997 (over $2 billion when adjusted for inflation).

The NBA 30 yrs ago isn’t the WNBA of today. Ticket prices were higher. Attendance was higher. Media contracts were higher. And, good grief, sales of merchandise were WAY higher. How many Pippen, Rodman, and Jordan jerseys did you see in the 90s? How many Clark jerseys do you see now? Not even close.

The average attendance at a La Liga game is over 30,000. The WNBA isn’t even close.

It gets very few viewers, which is why it gets little air time. Why would greedy corporations and owners keep the WNBA off the air if it was wildly profitable to air the games?

The media rights deals for the NBA total $77 billion.
The Golden State Warriors are valued at $11 billion.
You’re making my point for me, but you’re only sharing half of the data.

If the WNBA brought in the kind of money that the NBA brings in, the league would pay more.
The problem is that people just don’t watch women’s sports at anything close to the amount that they watch male sports.
The problem is the public, not the owners.

Yes. The math works if they don’t pay as much for the labor.
The average WNBA team gets around 11,000 tickets sold per game (at a low ticket price). The average NBA team is well over 18,000 per game at more than double to price.

Ticket prices for WNBA games now is $20 to $50 (and arenas are empty). In 1995, the Raptors charged $75 to $100.
Also, what is the difference in the value of media deals, and how have other costs increased for sports leagues in the last 30 years?

If Intel’s CEO made $0, they pay package would only be $3,400 per laid off employee. The cuts were going to happen anyway. Not defending CEO pay. Only saying that it is a small portion of the amount saved by layoffs. These aren’t trade offs for one another.
