So far I've been able to resit the "you too" when the folks at the gym desk tell me to have a good work out.

Even whey yelling at the Khashoggi question, a name that they *just* said, he could only refer to him as "that guy you brought up".

I'd rather the players take more of the revenue that the idle "owners". Maybe cut their profits and raise the salaries of all the stadium workers as well.

The WNBA and NBA are the same thing; same owners. Looking at them as different entities is like looking at the produce and dairy sections of a grocery store as different entities and determining pay for those workers independently.

I would argue that WNBA is really just a subset of the NBA so looking at them separately is just a shell game done to "justify" paying them less.
If I own a grocery store, I don't pay folks in the produce department differently from those in the dairy department.

Ranked-choice voting stops that. It's first-past-the-post and this kind of lesser-evil strategy it forces you into that kills 3rd parties.

Centrism is flawed. Tell us, what is the "centrist" position between "everyone deserves civil rights" and "only some people deserve civil rights"?

We need changes to laws that give better ballot access to 3rd parties. Ranked-choice-voting would be a great first step; removing obscene rules for signature acquisition would also be good. But neither R or D will pass those laws. Because they know they'll lose power.

I'll *never* understand that mentality. Like, Cons fundamentally believe there should be jobs that are so horrible, nobody should want to do them and that they'll just (magically?!?) cycle out of them eventually for the next group to be shat upon. Sociopaths. Every one of them.
