I just do not think sports teams do a good enough job in forcing their players into financial literacy. It is part of the teams responsibility to pair them with a financial advisor and show them how to build wealth. Baseball has a really good retirement system. It CAN be done. I am not absolving the people who blow through their money. They did it. It was on them. However. Lets be real man. Think back to when you were 19-25. If at ANY point you had access to millions of dollars would you even be here? Shitttttttt I would be dead in a cornfield from an overdose of something. Let alone thinking of retirement. Most of these kids come from a place of never even beleiving that type of money exists and then they get plopped into a situation where they ARE the bank for anyone in their family that has problems. I just think that the other leagues should take this into account and make sure their people are investing instead of buying bling and cars. Is it handholding a bunch of grown ass men? yes. yes it is. History has shown that is likely going to be the best thing for them though. weather they like it or not.

Were headed for gridlock. This is going to end up being a republican senate and democratic house.

That was a strange time man. Right after the pandemic I had a hiring manager on a zoom call tell me that we had hit the quota for white men for the year. She said I am looking for people that don't look like you and then circled her face and point to her skin to make sure I got the point. I had to reject ALL of the overly qualified white guys. Had to give them some dumb excuse. I was shocked but not tooo shocked. Every morning when I looked around the morning zoom I played my favorite game. One of these things is not like the other. And that thing was me. A straight white male on a call with 20 people that all look at me like I am the enemy. If the roles were reversed, I would be fired. My phone company would end my service. My landlord would kick me out. My bank would shut my account down. The world would know my name and I would be homeless.

The world AND Great Britain acknowledged us as a sovereign nation. China does not. These are the countries that acknowledge Taiwan as a sovereign nation. Ya notice anything about this list? Over half of them are islands that are just throwing in with them because birds of a feather flock together. The other half are using this as a way to stimulate their economy with trade. The fact is the US was going to let China take Taiwan in the 50s. If not for the Korean war. The ONLY reason were even talking about this is because the US started looking at Taiwan as an unsinkable aircraft carrier. We sent the 7th fleet to patrol the waters off the island. Not because we believed they had the right to govern themselves. Because they were useful. That is the ONLY reason why the US cares now. Taiwan will not allow its best chip manufacturing process to be exported to the US. We get high end. But we do not get their best. Because they KNOW that the min we get the ability to do exactly what they do we will have no use for them and we will cut bait.

I have worked as an it recruiter for 12 years now. I have seen such stupid abuse of the system. Companies are required to post their jobs before they go after visa candidates. The catch is that they are not required to post them in the location of the job. So these fuckks will list them in Wyoming for a job in NYC. KNOWING they are not going to get any wyoming cowboy to go to nyc.

I have been screaming about this for years now. The entire Visa program is set up to undercut US workers.

thats nice of her to keep the prom dresses and not allow them to get it done somewhere else.

Tell the SLPC to fock off

"The school's principal reportedly informed one of the upset students that females “can go somewhere else” if they felt uncomfortable." That sounds JUST like what they would do.

Winds are expected to pick up significantly by mid-day, with gusts reaching 22-24 MPH from the Northwest in the afternoon. The early golfers are going to be in before they even hit.

I think Gary Woodland has a good shot. I put 50 on him at +12500 He is quietly second in driving distance and the course has 12 par 4s and 2 par 5s.

If you have kids this would be an ok phone service. The internet is wild. I am not sure I want my son having unlimited access to that yet. He has a device to play games on but not a phone service.

Sorry. "the creature"

I plan on taking my kid on a cruise later this year. One of the things he wants to do before he gets to be an adult is take a cruise. I just landed a job that pays me 30k more than my last one and were going to do that later this year or early next.

It is getting exactly what it wants. The attention.
