@chucktodd Losing 5 first round picks though is really damaging for the franchise. They already gave about the same amount of picks to the Thunder for Paul George. About a decade of first round picks for little to no return. That’s how you run a franchise into the ground!
@Seth_3773@DanClarkSports Batting avg has dropped significantly it was .263 in 1987, .268 in 2007 and .244 so far this year. 228 is not actually much lower than the avg this year.
@NiallHarbison It’s hard to believe that us humans have become so apathetic that this defenseless baby was going to die a slow and agonizing death. Thanks again to Niall for being a beacon of light and showing us what real compassion is all about.
@KylenMills The real problem is our best athletes funnel off into other sports after elementary school age. Soccer in the us trails American football, basketball and baseball in popularity.
@Law_and_Econ@Okie_Rancher Also, I know for sure OTR is on solid ground and improving, due to great returns, low fees and also legislative changes that were needed like no assumed cola each year unless funded by the legislature.
@Law_and_Econ@Okie_Rancher The main benefit to the defined benefit system imo is that it forces people to save. How is our system so great when the median Oklahoman 401k is $39k? I’m an otr member who never has made a lot and it will replace 80% of my current salary when I retire (30 years in the system).
@DavidRe77746449@Okie_Rancher You don’t know what you’re talking about. I have a TIAA-CREF account. Your rate would depend on your asset mix, even the fixed income portion (TIAA) that I have earns 3.5-4.0% and the CREF portion in equities is 10%+.
