Huge congratulations to @edsmall18_tx for breaking the @AISDAthletics Career Receiving Yards record. With 265 yards Friday night against Hendrickson, Ed passed the previous mark of 3,298 set by Cayleb Jones (Austin High 2009-11) and now has 3,320 career yards. #TrojanPr1de
Basically, there’s a group of guys called longshoremen, who unload all the stuff that comes into the country by boats (which is pretty much everything you buy, right?). The longshoremen all make more money than doctors, because their union has a legal stranglehold over the ports and their mob-connected boss is willing to cripple the American economy to get them even more money. So when you hear longshoreman, think “boat unloading guy making shitloads of money.” The union is paranoid about automation destroying their jobs, though, since robots can unload containers 5x faster and for 1/100th the cost, and also without threatening to wreck the economy and make inflation worse one month before an election and six weeks before the holiday season. Still with me? Good. Now pour me another glass of champagne and let’s talk about something called the Taft-Hartley Act.
@txqb We may need to call it what it is- minor league professional sports. With one year contracts. Or, as it appears with this case, no written contract.
@LoewyLawFirm Seems like maybe guffawing or chortling better reflect the reaction of most people. As in “I couldn’t stop chortling when I learned there is a real life version of Chappelle’s famous character- Clayton Bigsby, the black white supremacist.”
Nick Saban: "I just want to say: you guys keep talking about a $20 million roster. If you don’t pay the right guys, you’re shit out of luck."
Kirk Herbstreit: "Congratulations, you just broke the Internet."
