@KevRGordon@NOAA@business Very misleading chart
1. Doesn’t account for population density increasing especially in coastal areas.
2. More infrastructure which includes expensive technology that didn’t exist before.
3. They are always underreporting inflation.
@mcuban@KamalaHarris His math might be correct but doesn’t mean it’s not misleading and skewed for his own agenda. He left out where it promotes US manufacturing and US made goods and that it punishes companies for providing our enemies money. They don’t become Billionaires by being good people.
@MSchlamann@ProGenitor09@JonHeyman Buy a $325,000 house (6% rate) and pay for it over 30 years and you pay $700,000 for it including interest. It’s still just a $325,000 house, not $700,000.
@JustinCToscano@sdutKevinAcee Braves appear to me to be legally manipulating the cap to take on more salary this year as opposed to future years. The benefit is if we plan to keep payroll over the lux tax, the tax increases each year. So spending extra this year as opposed to next year saves money.
@Elonmuskhasaids @DOBrienATL They are just legally manipulating the cap to have the extra dollars in this years numbers. It will slightly hurt what you could afford for this years team to help have more dollars in future years when the young extended guys salaries start escalating.
@MasonfromPitt @Ken_Rosenthal@DOBrienATL@TheAthletic The deals weren’t as big of steals as people think. We already had control of them for the majority of the years, many at league minimum. We basically just accelerated and guarenteed their arbitration numbers to get an option year or two at a discount. Bet Soroka wish he did it.
@ProGenitor09@MSchlamann@JonHeyman It’s stated as the $700m number bc the agent wanted to be the first to sign players to a “$700m” deal. He also claims the first $600m and first $500m. It’s just manipulating the numbers for it to seem bigger than it is.
