I rarely agree with myself

@anbupikaboo @Divna33 I think the "professors" are supposed to be more established. Idk though

@usvet20 @AnnaEconomist You see, there are these things called news sites, those news sites sometimes specialize. There is this very large business and economics news organization called Bloomberg. It's large enough that they have a team dedicated to US based economics. Anna is in charge of that team.

@GryphiusEitel @Strangeland_Elf I tend to agree, but on a mechanical level it's not more or less boring than hockey or basketball. Both have the same problem of the players just running up and down the area of play over and over again, doing basically the same thing for a set amount of time.

@Orion_100531 @yoxics I could be wrong, but....uh, having four people in the back, defensive area is more defensive than a formation where you put more people in the front, offensive area.

@MintyMacro @MeganFoxWriter @LEGO_Group That would largely be illegal

@fiago7 It's out of the way, but if you can make it to Durango Colorado it's amazing.

@crah_igg @alibrooke4ever But I thought the USSR played the US for a fool? Surely, if it was such a bad investment by the US, we would be bankrupt now and not the richest country in the world, and not miles ahead in technological development?

@TimDay1310388 @TheBootyMan619 @TheLaurenChen I am not in the film production side of things, I am on the theater side, and there is a ton of overlap in how indie films and theater are financed. I am on the finance side of things, we would jump at any contractor who offers to take a lower fixed rate to get a cut of the gross

[Kevin S Atkinson 🏔️🌐 @KevinSAtkinson]

@TimDay1310388 @TheBootyMan619 @TheLaurenChen Because the problem that the person is bringing up has already been solved, and no reform is necessary.

[Kevin S Atkinson 🏔️🌐 @KevinSAtkinson]

@TimDay1310388 @TheBootyMan619 @TheLaurenChen I don't think you know much about how this stuff works. Productions like this will have almost everyone in contract positions, it's temporary work and not employment so minimum wage doesn't really apply.

[Kevin S Atkinson 🏔️🌐 @KevinSAtkinson]

@TheBootyMan619 @TimDay1310388 @TheLaurenChen Yes, I agree, I was answering Tim's question

[Kevin S Atkinson 🏔️🌐 @KevinSAtkinson]

@TimDay1310388 @TheLaurenChen She is saying that "the industry" needs to be reformed so that talent and crew get a cut of the profits when a indie film is successful.

[Kevin S Atkinson 🏔️🌐 @KevinSAtkinson]

@crah_igg @alibrooke4ever And how exactly did that work out for the USSR? Surely, if they played the US so well they must be a global super power while the US is just a shell of its former glory. Right?

[Kevin S Atkinson 🏔️🌐 @KevinSAtkinson]

@re_skob @TPCarney I doubt they would give a random crew member a full percentage, but I bet that they could have taken 5% out of their own backends and used that for crew members who would take a lower fixed rate for a 10th of a percent or whatever, and it would not have impacted distribution.

[Kevin S Atkinson 🏔️🌐 @KevinSAtkinson]

@re_skob @TPCarney Ehhh, cashflow in these types of productions is always an issue. Being able to save cash and diversify risk is always a good idea.

The bit before the "BUT" answers the part after.

[Charles Gasparino @CGasparino]

Ok I hate the “stolen election” stuff from the president BUT why keep asking him? It’s not exactly news that he thinks it’s stolen. The question seems performative, merely to elicit the reaction he delivered

[Kevin S Atkinson 🏔️🌐 @KevinSAtkinson]

These are the people who love to smarmily say "We live in a Republic, not a Democracy" whenever you bring up the fact that Trump lost the popular vote in 2016 and that Republicans are structurally advantaged in the Senate because of rural states.

[Sólionath @Anarseldain]

If you can’t even get Republicans to pass an act that 80% of Americans support, and which the admin is actively campaigning for, then democracy is just useless. Worse than useless, actually, it’s actively destroying good results.

[David French @DavidAFrench]

One problem with politics is that partisans equate: "Politician in good faith advances policies I dislike" with "Politician is corrupt and abusive."

There is a difference between disagreement and corruption, and the sooner we can draw that distinction, the better off we'll be.

Is this an Elon endorsement of Platner then?

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Vote them out

@suzygra @micyoung75 No, Colorado is solidly blue now. This guy is nowhere close to winning.
