95% of political differences boil down to this:

The right prioritizes individual freedoms and rights, no matter the consequences to society

The left prioritizes what they believe is best for society, no matter the cost to the individual

One of these players wanted to win more than the other.

This is true.

And yet if you guaranteed me that my child would definitely "fail" to play in college, I would still encourage them to play competitive sports, and to go at it as hard as possible.

The benefits go far beyond scholarships, NIL or Pro.

A PARENT’S JOURNEY THROUGH YOUTH SPORTS:

Age 5: “He’s got a cannon.”
Age 6: “He’s the fastest kid out there. Coach said so.”
Age 7: “Rec ball isn’t challenging him anymore.”
Age 8: “We tried out for select. Obviously made it.”
Age 9: “$2,800 for the season. Plus uniforms. Plus tournaments. Plus hotels.”
Age 10: “Cooperstown is basically a family vacation, right?”
Age 11: “He needs a hitting guy. And a pitching guy. And probably a mental performance coach.”
Age 12: “I’m not a crazy sports parent. The OTHER parents are crazy.”
Age 13: “We changed schools. For academics. (And also baseball.)”
Age 14: “Showcases are a requirement at this age.”
Age 15: “Ya his ranking just ticked up. We’re cooking.”
Age 16: “He just needs to get seen by the right school.”
Age 17: “The D1 schools want him to walk on. He’ll earn a spot by sophomore year.”
Age 18: “Okay, D2 is actually really competitive.”
Age 19: “He’s redshirting. Strategic.”
Age 20: “He’s focusing on school now.”
Age 21: “You know what? He’s so much happier.”

Roughly 7% of high schoolers play in college.

About 1.5% of those get drafted.

Less than half of draftees ever play one day in the big leagues.

The odds of our kids going pro are somewhere between “struck by lightning” and “find a $100 in old shorts.”

I love youth sports (all my kids play a bunch of them) just keep a good perspective my friends. ✌️

If I’m a Furman defender I am finding a way to collide with UConn coach here. Technical foul.

@AndySwan Agreed and if he’s silly enough to allow you to pick Curry 2nd then you sweep the series 4-0. Pairing Shaq with shooters makes him completely unstoppable.

@AndySwan It’s like trying to rearrange images on a word doc.

According to George Orwell, women are almost always on the side of the state.

Essentially, this guy breaks down the psychology of wokeness without calling anyone a raging liberal, crazy leftist, or legally insane.

@AndySwan It actually saved me once. Due to construction, to get to the gate you had to take a 5 minute shuttle with a 10min wait.

Food first would have made me miss flight.

Tim Walz is a communist. You cannot apply your moral framework to him.

He views the world as zero-sum. Someone only has less because some other person has more.

Your identity is established by GROUP and that group is either oppressed or is an oppressor. That's it.

ANYTHING that benefits the "oppressed" at the expense of the oppressors is morally justified. Programs, taxes, Fraud, property theft, etc... it's all just morally justified redistribution of a static pie of wealth.

He literally cannot comprehend that someone or some group could have gained
wealth through the creation of value for others.

Because he is incapable of doing so.

Thus, all disparities in wealth are the result of SOME kind of theft or fraud... and therefore those frauds and thefts committed by members of oppressed groups are morally justified and should be SUPPORTED and ENABLED

It's not isolated to Walz, or Minnesota. It's pervasive, growing, and has hijacked a large portion of the most popular political party in the United States

Don’t forget that the leveraged liquidations of the longs can also happen to the shorts.

@AndySwan He may not know it but his actions imply that he thinks there’s about a 10% chance Bitcoin never gets above 100k again.

[Landon Swan @landonswan]

Bitcoin prediction:
We will see a $5k move down and back up in the same day. That’s the bottom.
