Doomsday scenarios are always a fun exercise, especially those with merit. That said, there is one global political truth, no global leader wants catastrophe on their watch. To the extent that AI advances further widen the wealth gap, which does make sense, here are some thoughts
@Dollface_GoBlue@stoolpresidente Texas for the spurs is ridiculous- the Knicks are all that matters, Texas included. San Antonio is hardly representative of the state
@DarrigoMelanie If you assume the money would actually be allocated in this way, which it wouldn't. These exercises are great to spark engagement, but I hope people aren't so naive as to think this is in any way realistic.
@EricBalchunas ah, makes sense. I assumed you were talking about Philly fans and NYC fans. It was a good series though, it went down how it should have if the NBA was appropriately rigged.
@EricBalchunas Listen to the crowd. This is what the NBA is supposed to be. There are the Knicks, and every other team should be a supporting part of the act.
@dunleavy89@mike_krupin Compute is early days, but still some entrants with significant top line (both absolute and growth). So it depends on your frame of reference, but I wouldn’t put it in the same bucket as gaming
@EricBalchunas Kind of a filler team, like a complimentary piece on the WWE. NBA needs to stop screwing around. For the Knicks to have not won a single title in my lifetime is insane.
Let's grab a coffee in Miami next week?

@ajchung77@UziCryptoo lol, you’re missing a 0 on your $300k. Texas is a big state, the three major cities (actually in the city not some random suburb). So on a $3M home at 2.7% a year you’re paying…well as you say, math isn’t that hard if you try.
@n0kx_@ramit@BillAckman They already pay property taxes, it doesn't matter if you actually use the property or not. This is an additional tax beyond standard property taxes. Many states also offer homestead property tax reductions for your primary residence, which wouldn't apply here.
