@elonmusk Why don't we start with Tesla and Space X paying back all of the billions of dollars in subsidies you received from the government over the years in the form of grants, tax breaks, discounted loans, etc. No? Didn't think so. Nobody likes government welfare more than the wealthy.

@JakePenrod @MikaelAllan @andyblarsen You fought the good fight, man. Some people just don't understand that theft of services is still theft.

[Matt Olsen @MATTfnOLSEN]

@MikaelAllan @JakePenrod @andyblarsen I can't tell if you are actually serious or not

[Matt Olsen @MATTfnOLSEN]

@JakePenrod @MikaelAllan @andyblarsen People have a hard time with this for some unknown reason. Illegally streaming things online (movies, music, sports, etc.) is the exact same thing as stealing a pair of shoes from a store.

[Matt Olsen @MATTfnOLSEN]

@andyblarsen Same reason why I buy my clothes instead of stealing them from the store...

[Matt Olsen @MATTfnOLSEN]

@JazzLead @JazzUniTracker Cool, but still a downgrade. In person, that purple court was so incredible.

[Matt Olsen @MATTfnOLSEN]

@coxforgovernor Dang, bragging about an A+ rating from the NRA 4 days after the school shooting in Georgia seems like the wrong move. Just me? I've been a Cox supporter for a while but don't love digging heels in on the gun issue.

[Matt Olsen @MATTfnOLSEN]

@andyblarsen Look. If you are going to run a promotion like this for multiple home games, be ready to give a car away. Just call it 'Threes for a 2-year lease or undisclosed cash payment' instead. So lame.

[Matt Olsen @MATTfnOLSEN]

@andyblarsen Thanks for this! I don't know why I care so much about this story, honestly. It was easily the loudest that the arena got last night. Haha.

[Matt Olsen @MATTfnOLSEN]

@scottew Things like tennis, skiing, golf or mountain biking are so great. If you haven't been to a high school mountain bike race you absolutely need to go. One of the best atmospheres you could possibly imagine for a kid. So inclusive.

[Matt Olsen @MATTfnOLSEN]

@scottew Overall I think this is really great. One thing that I think that should be more of a priority with sports is more 'lifetime' sports. Football is great, but there is a very real depression when kids dedicate their lives from 6-18 to a sport and it ends when they are 18.

@UtahJazz6Man Yes. Utah Jazz

@jaredeborn Easy: Demo rides from different brands, various food trucks, pump track, kids zone with strider bikes to cruise around on, an XC race, dirt jump/trials demo from pro riders. etc.

@gordorooster @sltrib 'love' 'support' and 'understanding' aren't an agenda. They are common traits displayed by decent human beings and institutions.

[Matt Olsen @MATTfnOLSEN]

@AidenMeyer8 @JazzJargon Easy to overlook the 'well regulated militia' part of the second amendment, isn't it?

[Matt Olsen @MATTfnOLSEN]

@AidenMeyer8 @JazzJargon Why are people more defensive of their guns and gun rights than they are proactively trying to solve a MASSIVE problem in society? This list is a great starting point. Do you think passing a more stringent background check being capable of using the purchased weapon is bad?

[Matt Olsen @MATTfnOLSEN]

@Sonny_Utahna @BradenShamo Gotta be Pretty Bird. I go there semi-regularly and it is very annoying. Not cheap anyway, but it is really lame adding on the tip rather than asking for a tip.

[Matt Olsen @MATTfnOLSEN]

@mconley11 Thanks for everything, Mike! My kids have never been rattled by any NBA news ever, and they were in tears last night. You will always have fans here in Utah. Best of luck!

[Matt Olsen @MATTfnOLSEN]

@RealJRyat @ShamsCharania @Tjonesonthenba Jazz want picks. Conley is a good fit for them now but they are building for the future. Unprotected Lakers 1st round pick is what they want. Likely would buyout Russ.
