@GoDucksnet@jhassler80 Indeed that would be the Andrew Winston - type economist take.
I would rather have systematic reform (harder fo sho) but we can try to pivot our current system. Whatever helps normal people live better is what I’m here for
@GoDucksnet@jhassler80 What should we do with our low skilled individuals? Either we make the grocery store pay or we will pay through social programs. Walmart is a major beneficiary of SNAP for example, many of their employees are on it and they spend the SNAP money at Walmart.
@Maverick_SZN@slicorey Dame has made 1000 more threes in less years. Maybe if Kyrie were a first option for once in his career he could’ve been on Dames level, but he isn’t that. Apples and oranges man
@Glanterns123922@FOS Yea my buddy’s mom works in legal for the city. The Jody thing is the piece most folks don’t know about. The background is that PDX wasn’t favorable to Jody over the years in her other businesses and she added the buyout contingency to the contract to hurt the city
@Glanterns123922@FOS It’s a bummer we got the brokest owner in the league now… and Jody is still a non-disclosed shadow partner with a 20% stake worth over $1bn and Dundon would have to buy her out if the team remains in PDX - probably why he can’t afford the renovations. Both are pieces of shit
Simple facts: Portland owns Providence Park and the Timbers have privately funded 100% of the over $100 million in renovations that have been done. Portland should not allow itself to be held hostage by a scumbag billionaire acting in bad faith.
@Anderson___999@kylekuzma I could see them moving to Vancouver WA if the state can approve funding. It’d keep the team in Portland metro - no need to name change. Fix the income taxes being high. And solve a lot of issues. Although they’d never be able to afford the new arena
@SgtTruthTeller@leonVSevildead Of they asked before getting an employee then the guy is out of line. If the old guy just got the employee without asking that’s lame and he should be a person
@23markgonzalez@UofBasketball@databallr Context: Castle had the best rim protection in the nba behind him, forcing SGA to shoot harder shots.
Castle is elite and he compliments Wemby perfectly.
