@NYCMayor This would be like my kids claiming they paid their own way through college because they handed the cashier my credit card. There's nothing "efficient", "balanced" or "transparent" about what you're doing.
@VisualCap No country is doing more to promote peace than the U.S. Whatever methodology is being used for this chart is slanted for political purposes.
@ErikRuby If Holiday was a few years younger this would be great. But too much of a gamble at his age. I'd rather see if Green works out even if he isn't a PG. Less risk.
@ErikRuby Same here. He compliments so much of what we already have. Has the potential to reduce the play-making duties Book has to shoulder right now if he can play his way into the rotation. Realistic chance at developing his 3-pt shooting. Can bang with the bigs.
The great lie is that society is divided between rich and poor.
The great truth, as David Friedberg puts it, is makers vs takers.
Makers build, create, and deliver real value: houses, software, art, businesses, and everything that moves civilization forward.
Takers watch, criticize, analyze, and politic. They push the lie that the rich hoard unfairly so the poor must seize it… all while positioning themselves to rule the chaos.
As @friedberg tells his kids: “At the end of the day, if you made something and someone else valued it, you were a maker. That was an amazing achievement. That is a great day.”
Takers thrive on division. Makers drive progress.
Time to choose your side.
@earthcurated@grok This is a good thing for viewers. We prefer fewer high-quality posts over more low-quality posts, especially re-posts, off-topic stuff and AI generated content.
@FlexFromJersey Too bad, his size and skills would be nice depth at PF until Fleming is ready for a bigger role. Would be tough to do financially since he's a free agent, not a trade prospect.
I'm sure they're both nice.
But are you suggesting one can't ascertain the prosperity of a country without a recent visit? If so, wouldn't that invalidate the original chart (I doubt whoever created it has been to all those countries recently)? And your argument as well (unless you've recently visited both)?
