"Who has ever caught Fox in a foot race, in his life? He has probably never been chased down in a foot race." -- Cam talks about De'Aaron Fox's decision to go for a layup
Hard truth…
I can speak freely because I’m 65 years old and my pocketful of fucks is seriously depleted.
Working as a paralegal at various studios in LA for thirty years…I had the opportunity to observe studio executives closely.
They’re generally a slippery and clueless bunch who shouldn’t be allowed near anything remotely creative…but the new regime at Paramount is straight up evil.
I assure you.
These soulless bastards have nothing but contempt for a show about grace and redemption and the struggle against fascism.
ATLA is a mystery to them.
They. Do. Not. Value. The. Franchise.

This is one of the most vivid examples of what drives a lot of basketball fans crazy these days. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander obviously isn't the only one who does this, but players trying to get fouled instead of trying to score makes for an awful viewing experience. Sure, it's the smarter analytical play. Free throws are very efficient. But 20 years ago (and maybe even more recently than that), players used pump fakes to then take an open shot. Now, the free throws are prioritized by so many stars.
Maybe I’m a bitter fan but I know I absolutely don’t want to watch a reality show that targets 6 to 11 year olds. Again, the core identity of the show has been lost. The show used to be people willing to do anything to win 1 million dollars, now it’s a friendship show for kids who want to go camping.
This is how I see it...
China is not Communist in the sense that the state owns all the means of production, and there are no market prices (you need at least 2 owners of property for a market to develop).
The U.S. is also not Capitalist.
We don't have sound money, free markets, and respect for private property. Only hints remain.
Both the U.S. and China are a marriage of State & Corporations.
The difference is the hierarchy.
China's hierarchy is State over Corporations.
America's hierarchy is Corporations over the State.
The Chinese state clearly puts China first, and corporations have to conform themselves to that. The Chinese trade with the world and don't invade the world.
America puts everything but America (and especially Israel) first. America invades the world.
The results of both hierarchies are crystal clear.
China is thriving. America is bankrupt.
@chicagobulls Absolutely embarrassing. Does he and his father know they are some of the most hated people in the whole city of Chicago. I’ll celebrate the day theyre gone, hopefully they sell but might have to hope for a plane crash or something. Why do some owners love taking joy from fans
