Looks like the Chinese Communist Party indoctrination is working well on this one...I would never allow my kids to be taught by people like this...God bless America!
I forgive you...there, now you can move on...😉
Crispy I don't know where you live but I assure you that on FL that the majority of the teachers are not nearly that left. In fact at my school more teachers are conservative and my wife's school, which is much larger, it is pretty evenly split.

Oh, he can do what he wants. But it’s been pretty clear he loves seeking attention. He always knows where the camera is. I believe he is a good dude but he just is bit of a diva.
and I would totally love it if he was a bill
I do think he is a diva in the off-season but not during the regular season, which is why this does not bother me.

I have DTV because of the ticket. Would consider “cutting the cord” if they lose it. Only other cable option is Spectrum and there’s no way I would get my tv package through them.
What would be great is if they just offered the Redzone channel. That’s all I watch, never any of the games.
Hopefully if ATT divests itself fully of DTV, the customer service will get back to what it used to be.
If you are like me and only watch a few sport channels and basically nothing else I would consider sling or youtube tv over whatever Spectrum offers. Spectrum always was switching the sport packages so I never knew what I got and I had to pay too much for the rest. I stream all my sports now and the only issue is a 30 second delay.

Sort of like conservatives searching for offended liberals so they have something to be offended about.
I am not offended- I am mocking peopl who are too dumb to understand that all sorts of symbols mean different things in different context. I do apologize IF you now feel offended that I called you dumb.

Drew brees SB ring, multiple all pros, and basically better stats all around compared to rivers.
They really aren’t comparable at all.
I was responding to a person who stated that Rivers was poor in the playoffs and therefore should not be in hall. Brees is a first ballot certainty and Rivers compares well with most of the QBs in the hall. To exclude Rivers from the hall would require people to focus only on the few things he did not accomplish vs everything he did accomplish.

Knox to FB. Help the run game. He can move pretty good and be like a Juszczyck with the ball in his hands. He also doesn’t have the hands to be a TE.
This is one I had not thought of and it does make sense, it uses his abilities better and gets him into space better.

Regular season HOf er for sure. But he never really played that well in the playoffs and never even got to a SB.
Now I’m not blaming that all on him as it’s a team game, but he never played his best football when it mattered the most.He was 5-7 in the playoffs and so many act like he was 0-8, his best was enough to be in 12 playoff games. Drew Brees is 9-9 in playoffs and not many QBs are much more than 50% in playoffs.

Rivers just retired but that is an interesting one to me.
I think he is going to be right on the border.
For me I would vote no, but I think he has a legit chance of getting in
I am not sure why he is a maybe for anyone- 8 pro bowls, top 5 in yards thrown all time, had a winning record more often then not. He absolutely deserves in the Hall unless your goal is to raise the qualifications to be closer to the baseball hall.

It’s up for debate, so let’s debate it:”Is Cam Newton a hall of famer?”
”No. Absolutely not.”
Debate over.
I actually just looked up his career stats and he only had 3 winning seasons. One dominant season does not get you in or else Bryce Paup would in.

You know all the rhetoric, so I won't bother posting it all. Few bad apples, etc, etc
There NEEDS to be accountability, and the system has to admit it has a problem before it can start fixing it. Not many bureaucracies are going to throw egg on their own faces.
I agree there needs to be accountability and that accountability has to start with individuals and their actions. I actually do not understand why anyone , especially blacks, lives in liberal cities with racist cops and racist schools when they could move and have better lives living in my neighborhood. We have a nice mix of colors and beliefs in my neighborhood but we all have one major thing common, we are responsible for our own actions and therefore get along great.

Can any liberal defend being offended by the circle game? If you don't understand it basically it gives you the right to punch someone if you can "trick" them. It is childish but talk about searching for a reason to be offended.

Obviously, we'll find out later what Williams will get, but I have little doubt that he'll get more than 8m per year. Tackle is still a premier position because it's highly visible and protects the QB. It's not just that Williams had one good year, he was a former All Pro player who struggled coming back from major injury. He clearly showed that he is back to being a highly productive player. I think someone will pay him a fistfull more than us.
I had forgotten he was a all pro, I just remembered he was not good in 2019. Good point.

Havent seen this posted elsewhere and thought it was an interesting discussion... Goes for the first 30 minutes
Some takeaways...
- Mike was not loving Beane's first big FA deal which was the Star signing
- Positive about Beane's overall handling of the Bills last 4 years
- Thinks Beane is not a "'restructure fan" - and he doesnt think Beane will entertain this with Brown... I dont agree as he has given paycuts to the likes of Star and Kroft previously...
- He predicts that Addison and Jefferson will be retained until June to see what happens in the draft.. although this goes out the door if they get Watt
- Says the success of Diggs in 2020 and his relationship with JA will be a great example to other potential free agents joining the Bills
- Depressingly thinks Williams is be best RT on the FA market this year and that someone might offer him $12M a year
Couple of points from my 20 minutes of analysis- only restructures that makes sense are Diggs, who saves us 7, and Dawkins, who can save us 5, as far as getting us under the cap, everyone else we would be better off cutting or trading.
I don't think there is anyway Jefferson and Butler are on team next year since that would be 35 million on 4 DT who are not special.
Lastly I don't think Williams gets 12 a year, especially this year. I would guess more likely 3 years at 8 million per year. He had a great year but his qb made up for a lot of issues

Money wasn't his big issue in High School?
I did not know him personally but the majority of his high school comes from well off parents. His high school pulls from neighborhoods that former athletes live in. I doubt money was an issue to him like so many NFL players.
-
Every player should say he wants top dollar since it is a cutthroat business but from what I have heard about him from his high school coaches he values winning as much as money, so he is likely to take less than top dollar to stay on a good team.

Love to see him elsewhere. Shaq Barrett, Hendrickson, Judon and Reddick are all cheaper, younger and better health options.
I bet he takes less money than all but Reddick, he will give up a little cash to ensure his team can win.

That’s not at all what I’m saying. In your situation the owners are taking a calculated risk and investment in the company. They’re taking the risks of starting up the company for the reward that the company can grow.A person they hire off the street at a wage below living wages, doesn’t share in that risk/reward calculation.
If in year 10 when they were able to grow off their work and now have plenty of net income to increase pay people a livable wage, then they should. If they don’t they’re subsidizing their own wealth by paying a wage that is morally disingenuous.
The company not paying a livable wage takes money from taxpayers because now taxpayers need to fund things like SNAP.
I think you’re confused on what a living wage is. Per Wikipedia: A living wage is defined as the minimum income necessary for a worker to meet his or her basic needs.[3] This is not the same as a subsistence wage, which refers to a biological minimum. Needs are defined to include food, housing, and other essential needs such as clothing. The goal of a living wage is to allow a worker to afford a basic but decent standard of living through employment without government subsidies.Were not talking about paying a wage that allows people to take even a vacation a year, but a wage that allows people to meet their basic needs without government subsidies.
That is not who you are talking about but that is who you are effecting. By the time we finish who you don't mean we will be discussing 12 people. But you believe something that is antithetical to liberal government workers- they want to get these people off of assistance. If minimum wage goes up to $25 an hour poverty level will simply be raised to make sure a certain segment is below it and government is still needed by them. I know I am cynical but if you think leftist want to lose their government control you are being naive.

I’m saying businesses that require people to work at a pay level that is less than the poverty line in order to be profitable are poor business structures and as a country should re-evaluate their place in the US.
For example, if you run a business and your net income is $100,000 a year. However, you’re net income is subsidized by paying you’re employees less than a living wage by $120,000. So if you were actually paying a living wage you’d have a $20,000 loss. Does a business like that actually belong in the US anymore and shouldn’t we re-allocate resources your business is using to businesses that can pay a living wage? Should businesses, even small businesses, be able to profit because they pay a minimum wage that is less than a living wage.
I will answer with one real example that I worked for- I came on after the initial 5 year period- the company started with 6 employees of whom the owner was independently wealthy already and the company lost over $100,000 each of it's first 4 years. I know that each person who started those years was working for around 30k but working 60 hour weeks. By year ten each of the 5 was still there making 100k and happy they survived the begining. In your world this company that now employs 80 people would not exist because the known risk at the time of early losses would not have been worth it. I will ask you though why do you prefer removing a persons option to work for less and get some experience than allowing them to make the choice?

How damaged do you have to be for a GM that drafted you to cut bait after less than a year? If it was a new GM it is possibly just a fit issue but this guy apparently just burned every bridge.

Your breakdown misses a couple of points:1. with increase minimum wages around the country, we haven’t seen an increase in price. According to a recent piece of economic research that examined the effect of prices on minimum wage increases in various states in the U.S. from 1978 through 2015, they found that a 10% increase in minimum wage only accounts for around a 0.36% increase in prices.
2. You define the value of work based on the current minimum wage, not the actual value of the work.
CEPR values the minimum wage right now would be $25 if it tracked with productivity: https://cepr.net/this-is-what-minimum-wage-would-be-if-it-kept-pace-with-productivity/
3. with increased cash in the market place, which should increase demand, businesses would only need to keep up with variable costs per unit, which will should decrease with more production.
While there are a lot of variables that go into businesses and business decisions, it can be broken down to a basic: if your business plan requires hiring people at a wage below the poverty line, should that business plan have a place in the US or should we use that capital on jobs that can pay people to work full time and not be in poverty?
You actually took economic classes and wrote that businesses should have to make sure their employees make more than poverty level wages? Should wegmans have owed me above poverty level wages when I worked there after school in high school? Should the bank I worked for after I graduated college paid me more than my worth from the get go? Who are you arguing for with this argument? People who make minimum wage are 90% of the time starting their work history and can not produce $20 an hour worth of work. I will make one other point, the minimum wage increase will make first chances harder to come by and that will hurt the poor much more than the rich. My kids will be able to get jobs at $15 an hour at publix or Chick-fil-A based on who me and my wife know, while the unknown kid will have a much harder time

See - Here is the problem. The GOP is bankrupt on ideas on how to solve the issues are acute today.
Yes - Our health care costs are through the roof, pinching wage growth, sucking resources that could go elsewhere - GOP solution? - crickets. The whole structure needs to be thrown out and start with a clean sheet of paper.
College costs to much? GOP legislative solutions? None.
Wage stagnation for the lower class? GOP?
So what you get is DEM solutions: Raise the minimum wage, forgive student debt, the ACA. GOP had total control of the government from 2016 to 2018 and did nothing productive on these items.
Where are college costs through the roof? Not at the public schools in my area, our community college has 4 year degrees for under 12k total, UCF is less than 20k for tuition and fees. If you want to go to private you will pay for it but that is your choice. Healthcare is completely out of control but Government tried to fix that with Obama care and it just got worse. The fact that you think the solution to any of these topics is more federal control shows how economically illiterate you are. The solution to raise low wages is to tighten the job market so business must compete for quality people. The solution to high college cost is to not pay $150k for a $15k education. Healthcare is more complex but the federal government will not fix it. The people who say "do something" rarely fix anything and just cause other problems, I can deal with crickets if they don't make it worse.

But i have done that at least twice now!
I honestly do not understand how you can state the USA is clearly different than most of the rest of the world. I think the differences make us superior but even you don't think we are superior the difference between how our country is built vs Europe is built is easily noticable if you leave the inner cities.

I think part of the problem is we don't have an agreed upon identity from GM to coach to top players. Beane, McDermott and Josh all agree on what they are. If those 3 are not aligned then a lot of work gets wasted going in different directions.
