  1. the people that "sacrificed" and paid their own way won't get reimbursed any more than people who do other things that the government sometimes pays for some to do. Like, I'm not getting money back because some people get food stamps. It just is. As for your larger point, yes, we need to pick priorities on spending. I think some kind of fix to the student loan issue frees up a TON of pent up spending ability, which is better for the economy than other options for spending......excepting medicare for all, which we should do for moral and economic reasons. As we've discussed elsewhere, just paying off student debt doe not fix the underlying issues with college costs (and that professors, like teachers, are underpaid).
  2. I'm not interested in hope and prayer that an IOL will be there at pick 2 or 3 or 4 that will work. This team has proven terrible at picking OL after round 2, they need 2-3 more of them! They've proven perfectly fine at DL and WR later in the draft.....
  3. as they should be. We are the only first world (is that still a phrase) nation that doesn't do that. Also, rates are historically low, and income inequality is at the levels where revolutions and death start happening.
  4. It's an interesting question......and, it's stupid adults can't rent cars. I'm surprised there hasn't been a class action suit over that. But it is an interesting question you raise.
  5. Money and years matter much, much, more. I don't agree with your statement at all that national exposure matters enough to any player that it is as important as money. Not even close. As for the 2nd point, sure, whatever, but that has nothing to do with the Twins' coverage, it's almost every team.
  6. I'm done with Dany. She's a tyrant, in sheep's clothing.
  7. agreed. spoiler warning...... When everyone says the crypts are safe......
  8. I've never understood why anyone cares if the national media talks about the Twins.
  9. Is a great show when it concentrates on character. Like last night. I anticipate much death next week.
  10. The Phillies went all in this year, attendance is up over ten thousand per game. Maybe the Twins should try that.
  11. I would like Garver to play more often. He was my pick for first base this year, and catching.
  12. I am opposed to any drinking age, actually. Be like Europe. We've decided 18 means adult. Not 17.
  13. Then make it illegal. I get it, I hate it......but adults should get to make their own choices. I don't expect everyone to agree, but if an action is legal for some adults, it should be legal for all adults. that's a HUGE difference between drunk driving (illegal for everyone), and this.
  14. yes, if they threw a strike, yes. Why not? The job is to throw a strike (or better yet, a pitch not hit at all), not to hit the catcher's glove. The rulebook doesn't say "a strike isn't a strike if the pitcher misses his target". According to research....most pitches miss the glove by multiple inches (I just saw this on Twitter, trying to find it now).....
  15. Isn't there always a DH in AL only games?
  16. The party of individual freedom (well, their Senate leader for sure) wants to raise the age to buy tobacco to 21. I'm guessing the other party will have plenty of people joining him. I hate tobacco, but it's legal......so adults should be allowed to buy it if they want.
  17. couldn't disagree more strongly. the issue is pitching talent. And it isn't close.
  18. I had no idea he was in the league! wow.
  19. right, I thought that was pretty clear.....its the party I'm talking about, not people that vote for them sometimes.
  20. Patrick Corbin 4 starts: 1, 1, 2, 3 runs given up, going at least 6 in each start. Didn't need him.
  21. BTW, I'm not asking you or anyone to believe me.....
  22. I didn't mention anything about Democrats at all. Not one thing. And, it isn't echo chamber nonsense, I used to work for the GOP, in a volunteer basis. It was 100% part of the plan to talk about democrats as if they were bad, evil, other.
  23. It could be, thanks. I have a lot of work to do yet....
