Like…you think that’s a risk? They may not make the playoffs now? That the model that worked this way last year wouldn’t work again?

…I also don’t think he’s faking it but I also think the team knows he can sit out and it wont matter.

You act like sideline reporters who never watched football until a week before their job interview aren’t essential personnel

Didn't expect to see pro-Jeff Bezos talk today but okay. Bezos is a genius who has also improved commerce and our overall quality of life. He’s not evil or even particularly unethical (in relative terms). His wealth, along with the rest of the hoarding class, destabilizes the economy by removing la...

And everyone loves working at Amazon.

This is really something fellas.

Whaaaaat?!!! What the hell are you talking about.

ITT - starting a business for personal gain is an act of philanthropy. Jesus. Carry that water, man.

Right. Without getting deep into it, he had a world-changing idea and now he's exceedingly wealthy. He also gives a ton back...more than most people even make...the relative-to-his-wealth part doesn't matter... https://www.philanthropy.com/article/jeff-bezoss-10-billion-environmental-gift-tops-chro...

Has bezos not invested in his society?

I put a penny in the tray at 7-11. I consider myself a giver.

10 mill out of 200 billion is insufficient and worthy of complaint - yes. Bezos’ wealth is obscene. “Eat the rich” is for millennials who struck out after college and hate people that didn’t. I respect the hell out of Bezos and Musk. But they have too much. It needs recalibrated. And a functioning f...

The evolution of your thinking over the years is impressive and I disagree with nothing in that post. …but I’ll add that it should start by aggressively extracting wealth from the tax dodging hoarding class. I agree with the sentiment of “there should be no such thing as a billionaire” in this clima...

It's very narrow-minded to assume that I don't have children in my life. I bet I deal more with children than you do with guns. :lol: Ok. Detail out the schematics of parenting then. Being cool uncle dodint and hearing 2nd hand accounts from friends and family is what we all used to be before we br...

You know something isn't working how it should when it makes more sense for my wife to just not work while the kids were younger versus work and paying for child care.

You guys are old timey too?

Moms staying home to raise kids is…contemporary?

Good riddance

Just for the thought exercise of it...did the first school kids bootstrap themselves? Parents probably paid, huh? My parents paid. Now I'm paying for other people's kids only. But that's not good enough, you want a little more, right? Parents acting like society not only doesn't cater to them enoug...

There is a middle ground between letting the species die out and having to fund folks because, apparently, they had a child they were unable to afford...at least, I would think... I think what people aren’t understanding in this thread is that it’s a problem that a significant portion of Americans ...

And faftorial’s experience of old timey child raising did not include spending 20k a year on child care for one kid, in an urban area. With the alternative being dumping them into a toddler farm where they learn how to be attention seeking maniacs. That because my ex stayed home with the kids and w...

Your parents paid back their own debt. Now you pay yours. That’s how it works. The alternative to this, as always, is that we stop keeping the human race churning. Which I’m sympathetic to, but it’s not realistic. In the meantime, having kids is treated as a standard behavior. That’s not changing. Y...

Ah the ramblings of the childless, who don’t remember that they racked up a pretty big tab on everyone else’s dime when they were kids.

Public services for me but not for thee

It’s all really simple. He and Sinema can’t go against their donors so they’re never going to do anything helpful. It’s not an ideological divide or a power trip or a representation of their voters or an effort to raise their profile. They both know this is likely their last term, so they’re cashing...

You mean there isn't a cap already? The "$60k range" is the range that encompasses both the US median household income and the average household income. Why on earth should we be subsidizing the children of people who make more than average? Because child care costs cripple the finances of the aver...

If you and your wife each earn 30k…then you, sir, are a rich rich man

I mean, it’s one banana, Michael. What could it cost? 10 dollars?

Been keeping track of the scores of my son’s soccer games since he started playing a couple years ago.

His teams are losing 1,237 to 3

But who needs a Sunday anyway

I’m just shocked to see her do something useful.

Are there non-atrocious playoff exits? Of course. 2015 is a good example. They tried hard, put up a good fight, and lost to a better team. No melt downs. No big blown leads. No bed shitting. 2018 is similar. We were just not good enough. Although it’s another year where the big kids stole our lunch...
