Israel is cleaning house omg

No - it’s the same playbook as 1981 Iraq. Obama siding with Iran over Saudi Arabia - complete disaster

I'll bet the next expansion round is Houston and Atlanta. Houston can use the Toyota Center for now but will have to build something new. Atlanta group has a plan for an arena north of Atlanta, in Forsyth County.

Coleman starting to dunk on defenses is gonna be one of the most fun aspects of the 2025 season.

Not at all, you are missing a simple point entirely. Firstly, you just claim it's theft, the argument I described is that it's not. Information is simply not economically scarce. There is no finite element to the supply of information. Your assumption is that watching in a stream lowers the revenue of the producer of the content. That is only true if the person watching the stream would have other wise payed the full price to watch it. If I'm willing to pay one dollar for a bills game broadcast, and they charge 10, they don't lose 10 if I watch it for free (be it via a bootleg stream or by me staring through my neighbor's window) because I would not have chosen to pay them that price anyhow. Producer surplus does not exist without a paying customer. If a person is willing to watch a game for free, say as background noise, but otherwise would never bother, then the NFL (or broadcaster or whoever) loses nothing because of the stream. Intellectual property rights are different from all other property rights, and in fact they violate other property rights in their enforcement. I own my phone, I pay a telecom provider for their spectrum (which they lease from the government who on paper works for me as a taxpayer) and enforcing the NFL broadcast monopoly violated my personal rights to use my phone (which is economically scarce) how I want. Your examples about big business being greedy, or that retail loss is covered by insurance, are quite separate from my argument. The point of the thought experiment is to determine at what point does one violate someone else's (in this the IP owner) property rights. Is me singing a Taylor Swift song stealing from her? What if my daughter likes my version as much as Taylor's so she doesn't go out and buy or stream the song, which means less revenue for Taylor Swift? There were laws against lending compact discs when they were new because the record companies were worried people could make really good copies and just not buy their own. I think those might have eventually been struck down (John's stossel had some shows about this stuff a while back). Einstein is claiming a bootleg stream is theft, my question is why? At what point is not paying for intellectual property theft, and at what point is it not?

They’re literally using the exact same playbook as Iraq 20 years ago and people are actually falling for it again🤦‍♂️.

I wouldn’t trade any amount of money for them absolutely not winning in my lifetime. There’s no amount. They’re one of the most important things in my life, sad as that may seem, and knowing they had no chance would effectively take that from me.

Didn’t realize annexing Palestine and killing tens of thousands of civilians in foreign countries was “fighting for survival”. Well considering they bribe and blackmail American politicians into sending said support that wouldn’t be the worst outcome.

This will probably be over in 5.

If anyone thinks that Iran hasn't been enriching uranium to build a nuke all along, I have a bridge to sell you.

When the IEA says Iran is in violation of the agreement and are indeed enriching uranium what is Israel supposed to do? This has been ongoing the last 3 years. Trump gave them 60 days - 61 days ago.

I wouldn’t take 500 over a Tiger Cat Grey Cup… 500 or a SB ? lol I’m poor as sh*t and that’s a laughable proposition.

Who plays Barf? Google sez: Shane Gillis

At what point does Trump tell Netanyahu to cut the sh.t or we’ll do exactly that?

Wait, Trump guaranteed zero conflicts if he were president again? He’s blamed every war and skirmish on Biden like he’s some kind of geopolitical domino. Wasn’t he supposed to charm Iran into peace with his Art of the Deal magic? What happened. Trump is so strong.

So…. How long do we stay in the toxic relationship with our boy Ben? At some point many relationships come to an end and I’m just not seeing what we’re getting in return from Israel that’s making us want to continue to be his ally. I’m not saying we go steady with Palestine. I’m saying we “America First” this situation and realize Netanyahu isn’t doing us any favors and get the ***** out altogether. He’s become the obnoxious drunken girlfriend who slaps the 6’6” 280lb guy at a bar and only does so because her boyfriend is bigger.

Israel has been fighting for its survival since its inceptionm with hostile countries all around them. You withdraw support from them, they cease to exist. Is that what you want?

Lol ok President District Court Just ignore the courts the way protesters ignore the law. Laws are just suggestions in this country.

I’ll take the trophy.

Best bullet the Bills ever dodged.
