An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Turnage insisted on Monday that she wasn’t paid to share the emails with anyone, despite accusations that she was receiving financial compensation.

ofc i’m team no cap but the thing that infuriates me is that even a bump to $5m, 7 or 10 would be enough. like ok if you’re worried about parity because you know you still have broke bois, they can handle $10m. keeping it below $4m, in this era, is telling many of your best players to leave.
