@JoelSchamber@AmirYkabov@EverythingOdds@mattxiv The median US Salary in just a bit over 63K. The mayor gets paid $258K a year. Him paying $700 is the equivalent of the average person spending $170 on a ticket. It's a good price for a playoff NBA game especially in the biggest market in the NBA.
@jonasbsilveira@edelbert__ It should be noted Whitecaps is an organically grown team with roots before the league since 1974. They bought into the league which requires single entity ownership and now 29 other owners might vote to rip them out of their home in Canada and move them to the US.
@JByGodRod Lack of black players in baseball in general but the cost is more prohibitive, coaches have unconscious bias as it's a "thinking" position, and a lot get moved off Catcher to play more athletic, active positions. There are some still though. Vahn Lackey may go #1 in the draft
@tsarnikolas2@drsmithy@fredsoda The level of wealth concentrated in America proves it works in your favour. That you don't see those benefits is a direct result of the richest among you hoarding wealth. If you guys wanted you could all afford free healthcare, free schooling, affordable housing, and good jobs.
@Unecks@MrSausageGet So, just as a hypothetical. What's the line for Americans when the law doesn't matter? The President is a literal felon who's manipulating global markets and suing the American people for his own gain while protecting pedophiles and starting illegal wars all while ignoring the SC
@PatrickWCutler Goddamn Americans are the dumbest set of fucks I've ever come across. Yep, losing the gold medal game one time because of a goalie stealing a game is why we're mad. Not the constant threats from a racist pedophile and his merry band of enablers.
@winsford99 Cause America has done such great jobs against weaker countries like Vietnam and Afghanistan. 3 months in a northern Ontario winter fighting guerilla fighters would be hell for you. Not to mention how easy we could strike US territory with the million who live there currently
@iamalmostlegend@SandySev Like this may be about 'tonight' for you but this man has lived decades with this syndrome and has been physically assaulted and ostracized for something he can control as much as you can control blinking. The least you can do before condemning someone is taking the time to learn
@iamalmostlegend@SandySev This is what's wrong with online discourse. You're given a way to spend some time to learn about the very thing you are angry about and instead dismiss it without even taking the time. Like how can you feel so confident talking about something you obviously have no clue about
@VautismSpeaks It's cause Americans don't care to learn and see everything through a centred view. Most prob saw the South Park episode and think they know. How we can have people thinking that to know the N word he must use it everyday is dumb when it's literally used in the 2 BP front runners
@Marknique_@rednaxella44 You have zero authority to speak on tourettes as you don't have it and obviously have no fucking clue what you are talking about. How people have the confidence to speak on shit so confidently that they don't even take 20 minutes to learn about us baffling. Also, black man here.
A lot of people who blame John Davidson for his involuntary tourettes outburst would do really well to watch I Swear which is based on his life rather than act outraged over something they know absolutely fucking nothing about.
@Variety Asking people who aren't American and don't live in America these questions about the politics of America is so American centric. Like yeah, they probably think it's terrible but it's also not their business or job to fix it. Americans need to figure their own shit out themselves
