As with most things in the Cold War I assume there was a much higher tolerance and appetite

I mean profits may be the wrong work but financial considerations
Being able to luck into a generational talent can subsidize your business afloat for a decade plus.
If you remove the draft than the truly badly run orgs lose that.
Right now it is a viable business model to suck and not try
The coverage hasn’t been the same since they closed the Vatican buro
Point (b) Seems fixable as truly good orgs will still find a way.
But (a) is the total non starter since owners in every pro sports league on earth benefit from mandated underpayment of young players, whether that is draft, salary cap or transfer windows. Too much $ made in current broken system
Reporters, please refer to the proper guide of style and language. when the Pope issues a witty clapback on a sitting world leader who is throwing a big temper tantrum about him, that is called a pontiflex.
Has anyone written a think piece on why people who think the Apollo moon landings were fake think of the Artemis II?
Is it fake also or no? Genuinely want to know what the crazies think on this one
Not that I enjoy having $2k of credit card debt but when my dozens of purchases somehow magically add up to *exactly* $2000 it is oddly satisfying for reasons I can’t fully explain yet needed to share

My social media algorithm has informed me Tiger woods has done something funny involving crashing a car it I don’t know what it is yet and I’m really looking forward to the big reveal
I can’t tell whether the Buy Canadian thing is pestering out or not but all I know is that my personal attempt to do it where possible has been… a lot easier than I thought it would be?

The group chat has dug up my initial take on the Leafs deadline moves last year and while that first line has aged like the last two years of Marleau 😬 the rest of it holds up 😂
It’s a decade of blown chances with plenty of blame to go around. And hard to see a way out
I’ll butcher it but to paraphrase one of my favourite ever tweets, “who is this clown?” Is an elite-level insult
All of that may be true but all Trump has to do is show progress from a previous worse state (even if he caused the worse state)
To MAGA if he gets gasoline from $5 now to $4 by Halloween that’s a win
I think you’re probably right.
I’m sports terms Trump is basically the Florida Panthers.

Only 2X a year instead of 4X…earnings day for some stocks is gonna be lit

Every time something about American culture confuses me, even a small
