NEW: Major League Baseball owners now get paid more to have a losing team.
We investigated the playbook that allows teams like the Marlins and Pirates to rake in the largest sums of cash while paying players the least.
Billionaires win no matter what, while fans lose out.
Guardians trades, per sources:
Foster Griffin for Will Dion, Josh Hartle, Nick Mitchell and Kendeglys Virguez
Nathaniel Lowe for Alejandro Rivera
Jo Adell for Jacob Cozart
Craig Yoho and Blake Perkins for Bo Naylor and Codi Heuer
@realsaadasad@AgitatorPro Unfortunately they do not. The issue is not just needing two stairs, but the stairs also need to satisfy the minimum separation distance. A fire in the corridor would eliminate both stairs as a means of egress on that floor, trapping people on the other side of the fire.
What's most interesting to me is the language used, here and by many Tech Bros, re: AI.
"We have to..." "Don't be left behind..." "You're not keeping up..." "Going to make your life easier and better..." "You have to understand..." "We have to use it."
Patently ridiculous language.
No one "has to" use anything. Everyone is on their own path and no one is "being left behind" at any point.
Use of this type of language is nothing but an attempt to introduce fear and a lack of choice to you.
You have nothing to fear, and you have free will, always.
That is never not true. Never.
I don't recall any previous transformative technologies having to be sold so desperately. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"
In the best case scenario, Trump struck a deal to reopen a Strait that was open before the pointless war he started, with the IRGC demonstrating its control over the Strait and potentially extracting fees plus sanctions relief. Thousands of innocents - including hundreds of children - dead in Lebanon and Iran for no reason. U.S. troops killed and wounded. U.S. embassies and bases in the Middle East badly damaged. U.S. standing in the world obliterated. U.S. munitions badly depleted. Hundreds of billions spent. Prices up everywhere. More global economic fallout to come. Putin strengthened and enriched. Just a catastrophic situation even in the best of circumstances. A profoundly shameful episode in American history no matter what happens next.
Iran Deal By Obama:
•Strait of Hormuz open for free
•Iran limits Uranium enrichment
•Iran agrees to make no nuclear weapons
•Iran allows Int'l inspectors to ensure compliance
•Inspectors confirm Iran's full compliance
Iran Ceasefire By Trump:
•Strait of Hormuz closed, only open for $2M Per Ship
•Iran makes no guarantee of limit on uranium enrichment
•Iran makes no guarantee of no nuclear weapons
•Iran makes no guarantee to allow Int'l inspectors
MAGA: Trump Playing 5D Chess! Art Of The Deal!!
> Republican gets elected President.
> Cuts benefits for the poor.
> Cuts taxes for the rich.
> Starts a war over oil.
It's crazy how it’s always the same thing every single time.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails. They're trying to change our habits, because all of the projections rely on people becoming truly dependent on the technology. Whether or not it's actually a good thing for society isn't considered to be a factor."
Yeah no dog. You don't kill survivors in the water.
War crime if they are combatants
Murder if they were not combatants.
The laws are pretty clear on this matter. You are not to attack the sick, the wounded and the shipwrecked at sea and they shall be respected and protected in all circumstances.
The law is also clear on what to do after you sink a enemy vessel parties of the conflict are obliged to take active steps to rescue the shipwrecked.
If it is true that the order was given to execute shipwrecked survivors all persons involved in this chain of command must be investigated for war crimes.
Also disappointed that there's no reported pushback. This is literally what a illegal order looks like the whole debate about the senators and congressman putting out their video well this is literally what the illegal order is and it was the duty of everyone in the chain of command to refuse this order to execute shipwrecked survivors.
This is so tragic, so unnecessary, these poor guardsmen should never have been deployed. I live in DC and watched as they had virtually nothing to do but pick up trash. It was for political show and at what a cost.
