My latest for @forbes.com - Caitlin Clark's rookie trading card sold for $366,000 four months ago. That figure represents over $150,000 more than the maximum WNBA single-season salary and $28,000 more than Clark will earn across her entire four-year rookie contract. www.forbes.com/sites/lindse...
Why Caitlin Clark's Trading Card Selling For Nearly Double The WNBA Max Salary Proves Players Deserve More
Caitlin Clark's recent record trading card sale highlights a significant disconnect between WNBA player marketability and their artificially suppressed salaries, despite high market demand.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The reality is that major airlines don’t have enough aspiring pilots in the pipeline to continue operations safely. DEI is a mechanism to attract, recruit, and retain talented individuals who may not see themselves in those roles. I had an eye opening discussion with a pilot and recruiting director

California DOE fires back against Trump's executive order:

"It does nothing"

"It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach"

Will not comply.

Really enjoyed my conversation with @vox.com about the growth of women’s sport, but also the historic lack on investment that has caused a lag in revenue.

A Vox reader asked: Why do people pay more to watch men’s sports than women’s sports?

My response ⬇️

www.vox.com/explain-it-t...
Has Caitlin Clark changed the game between men’s and women’s sports?
Men’s sports have historically been much more popular than women’s. But that may be changing.

This is a slap in the face to American women.

Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations.

Costco shareholders just sent a clear message: DEI is here to stay.

Attempts to roll back progress were crushed—because diversity isn’t a ‘risk,’ it’s a strength. 🔥

So, keep the $1.50 hotdogs coming 🌭
