Pax Silica defenders are nothing but privileged people who never truly understand the plight of farmers. Hindi naman kasi sila nagbubungkal ng lupa. They would rather want an import-dependent country rather than a self-sufficient one.
Caitlin Clark is under no obligation to be the spokesperson for anyone’s political or social cause. I think there is, to a reasonable degree, a responsibility to be a good role model to young girls and boys and with her platform, and by all reasonable accounts, she has been

Aryna Sabalenka says she supports WTA’s Mandatory Gene Test
“The WTA recently announced that the players will take a one-time gender test. How do you feel about that, the first pro league to go in that direction?”
