@LATimesfarmer Totally agree and sports is also just weird. Sometimes guys come out of nowhere and it seems often many of those top guys don't live up to their draft position. It does feel like falling in the draft usually provides extra motivation for them though.

@BiggHdoG @Super70sSports This was pre Payless. Traxx walked so that Payless could run.

@DaygoTom @Jason While I agree with this sentiment, wealth & power don't equal any of the following: a higher level of intelligence, better information, good ethics or sound judgement. My guess is Jason's world is pretty insulated from the poor and powerless.

@markkiszla @OldTakesExposed @TheRealCrasant You're arguing with a buttery French baked good sir.

[Rich Vedas @richvedas]

@jayinneveh @Jason What are some appropriate & practical consequences? It's not a shrug, I'm not naive enough to believe that there will be consequences nor actual "findings". It's a fool's errand. Countless examples in US history shows that there never are.

[Rich Vedas @richvedas]

@jayinneveh @Jason I think you misunderstood, you seem to want a certain outcome. Don't disagree w/the devastation but there's no "who" to be found. Even if the responsibility lies w/the lab, then what? There's no end game w/accountability. Govts are nefarious, it sucks & life moves on.

@danielrpopper @JourdanRodrigue This is a really well written, informative article. Thanks Daniel for your efforts! It seems like while the majority of players would preferred grass, it's unlikely to change anytime soon.

@jayinneveh @Jason You seem to have a dog in the fight. I'm just pragmatic. The Chinese government is one of the largest, most clandestine ever and I have serious doubts that any investigation will ever lead to clear, fact based conclusions.

[Rich Vedas @richvedas]

@malc2021 @Jason I also looked at Lancet's COVID page and found nothing. I don't care one way or another, but if it's this hard to find anything in support with actual facts, that indicates a) Jason's premise is flawed at best and b) we are very unlikely to ever know what really happened

[Rich Vedas @richvedas]

@malc2021 @Jason That seems in conflict with this: https://t.co/nFaCJQ6W3J

[Rich Vedas @richvedas]

@malc2021 @Jason You seem to have more information than the general public. What are your sources?

[Rich Vedas @richvedas]

@jayinneveh @Jason Since forever when they involve another sovereign power.

[Rich Vedas @richvedas]

@jayinneveh @Jason Go ahead and reread my last sentence. Do you really think the Chinese are going to be transparent? Why would they?

[Rich Vedas @richvedas]

@Matthew99477811 @Jason Hard pass on a conversation with someone who starts with you are wrong. Enjoy your enlightened world where a discussion only has one right direction.

[Rich Vedas @richvedas]

@Matthew99477811 @Jason That's not how statistics work. You're talking probabilities.

I have no opinion because I don't have enough information (99.9% don't either) Reality is there is no practical way we will ever know. The Chinese are enslaving people, they're not going to be transparent about a lab.

[Rich Vedas @richvedas]

@Jason What do you base that on? I have no opinion because I don't have enough information (99.9% don't either) but the reality is there is no practical way we will ever know. The Chinese are enslaving people, they're not going to be transparent about a lab.

@RyanCrownholm @joewardpr @Jason A question asked in bad faith under the "just asking questions" mantra only serves to inflame, not engender honest discussion.

@PolosRockin @chargers What a thoughtful take from someone who [checks notes] pays for Twitter

[Rich Vedas @richvedas]

@brucegelin @sumpnclehvuh @mjparme @EmmanuelAcho Thanks for the respectful conversation Bruce. I've spent many years studying these issues, have a degree in theology & was a pastor. My experience as a human doesn't align with the god of the xian bible which is why I'm no longer on that path.
