“Hope says that tomorrow is worth fighting for, despite all contrary evidence. And there will be contrary evidence. Life inevitably involves a great deal of suffering, and hope says there is meaning in that suffering, even if that meaning cannot be understood this side of paradise.” @TheAlanNoble

A new study finds that 1 in 3 U.S. counties are maternity care deserts, with no birthing hospital, birth center, or obstetric clinician.
More than half of U.S. counties lack a hospital with labor and delivery services, and the problem is only accelerating as rural hospitals close.

I do disagree with the notion that Lakers fans as a whole didn’t embrace Bron. A lot of them did, I saw it with my own eyes in the city for the last 8 years. Sadly it was all overshadowed by psychotic Kobe stans from the beginning
The Laker Bron divorce is nasty man 😭😭. Bron fans trashing the Lakers. Laker fans trashing Bron fans and the fans of both stuck in the middle 🤦🏾♂️😭. Every win and loss will be nasty man.
If you’re gonna write an essay, at least format it in a way that’s easier to read. Addressing you point by point.
1. Paul George was a free agent in 2018. Reports claimed he was “interested” in the Lakers, but ended up re-signing with OKC and didn’t even give LA a meeting. This decision was made well before FA started. PG had a clean opportunity to join. He didn’t. Period.
2. Durant and Klay choosing other teams only reinforces the larger point: stars have repeatedly considered the Lakers and then gone elsewhere. “They were interested” is not evidence that one inevitably would have signed if LeBron hadn’t.
3. The Lakers had cap space, young assets and the appeal of Los Angeles for years before 2018, yet LeBron was still the only superstar who actually committed without first needing another established star there.
4. Could someone eventually have come? Of course. But there’s no compelling reason to claim it was probable, much less inevitable. Without LeBron, there is no Anthony Davis trade as we know it, no 2020 championship and no identifiable superstar who was clearly prepared to take LeBron’s place.
You talk about context but you sure as hell didn’t give me any. And by the way, KD already called cap on Bron recruiting him to the Lakers. Lying won’t help you.
Go ahead and try again.
The early church was (1) multi-ethnic/against racism, (2) committed to the poor, (3) practiced forgiveness and reconciliation, (4) anti-abortion/pro-life, and (5) was committed to sex only within marriage between a man and a woman. Holding those five views all together was seen as radical and out of step with the culture. See here for more: https://t.co/HkDT2gLv2U
I don’t think the “majority never liked him” statement is revisionist but we can agree to disagree there. & yea it’s a fact LeBron received a decent amount of love from LA fans over the years, but I don’t think it’s wrong to say the hate outweighed the love. that’s just unprecedented behavior towards the best player on a team as well as a guy who brought a chip to the city. I can definitely say Bron fans are better off moving on instead of attacking Lakers fans & dumping on the team, but it’s a good amount of Lakers fans that are in that same boat towards Bron too. goes both ways imo
I can't stress enough how much Christ' commands and biblical ethics is calling us HIGHER than simple "left/Right" political positions. He transcends both and so does His teachings. You cant fit him neatly into a box even though folks always try for their own agendas
I hope Sixers fans are ready for how insane this season is going to be on a global scale…
- @ MSG for the Knicks ring ceremony to open the season
- @ home against Cleveland aka the team he chose the Sixers over
- @ the Lakers on Christmas Day
LeBron runs the league at age 41
