fricking liberals

So If you say I don’t care if a billionaire makes $500 million you’re a liberal?

I‘m not worried about asking for a little nuance in an article talking about the distribution of $12 billion dollars.

I think that your lack of an understanding of basic economics probably has more to do with it.

you’re the idiot if you think a lack of knowledge favors one side of the political spectrum over the other.

I probably should have been more specific. It was the nature of your misunderstanding that probably led that poster to assume you were a liberal.

Yes, folks on the far right have can often have their own odd way of viewing the economy, but liberals have a tendency to be “meh” about economic losses at an industry-level because it “only hurts rich people”.

In reality, service workers, restaurants, hotel workers, people who are employed by local governments that rely on tax revenue that won’t be collected, etc are going to feel that pain waaaay worse than Jerry Jones who, like others have said, is still going to make money either way.

According to PFT there's only a "small" chance the 2020 NFL season doesn't happen. Not sure if I posted this here or just discussed it with my wife... the league schedule being released is going to signal if they'll play or not. The minute they release a schedule the players have them by the short hairs. Up until then the owners can actually frick the players over and treat 2020 as if it never happened (toll their contracts.) The TV money is too big so I think it's maybe 5% no season, 75% games but no fans, 15% 1/3 capacity, and 5% anything 1/2 to full capacity.

I was just reading an article the lefties at VFN turned into their big headline "What happens if a coronavirus vaccine is never developed?" At that point I say F all this curve crap...if it gets me I'll get a few cases of Corona to enjoy while I'm going down. I've already made my contribution to humanity with my athletic kid. (Oddly I started putting together oral histories via camcorder a few years back so not much more left to pass down by being around.)
