Thank god he can’t run for the presidency. You know the idiot left would probably elect him if they could.
The Democratic National Committee would never let it happen. Ask Bernie Sanders. Clowns like Mamdani and AOC are unelectable on a national level even if every single registered Democrat voted for them.

They determined they can sell their product for more than you were offering. Seems pretty obvious. Glad to see the Free Market in action.
When factoring in the better price, did you account for the expenses of gas and time traveling to pick up the out of town car?
We used to have a Honda dealer in Key Largo that would undercut all of the Honda dealers in Miami-Dade and Broward counties AND deliver the car too you. I have no idea where they stored their inventory and where those vehicles were delivered from but I just assumed that they were able to undercut the competition because of lower overhead.

I was a UPS driver from 1987-1998 and faced that situation many times. All that driver had to do was use that package as a shield and the dog would stopped in his tracks. I used to just hold out my clipboard out and they would back off. It was uncanny how effective that was. I don’t know why he wanted to mix it up with the customer. That will get him in more trouble than throwing the package. I would have just walked back to my package car, laid on the horn and waited for the customer to come to me. Otherwise, he’s not getting his package that day.

We’ve had a national debt since 1791 after we borrowed money from the French and Dutch to finance the American Revolution yet somehow people born between 1945 and 1964 are responsible for the whole ball of wax. :rotflmao:

This isn’t just about 2008, but that’s where a lot of the ripple effects really took off. The financial crisis did major damage, and much of the leadership at the time was from that generation.
The wheels that caused the 2008 crisis were set in motion 31 years earlier under Jimmy Carter (1924-2024) when the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act was passed. At that time, the House Committee on Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs was chaired by Henry Reuss D-WI (1912-2002). The Senate Committee on Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs was chaired by William Proxmire D-WI (1915-2005).The CRA was enacted to pressure banks to lend money to lower income and moderate income borrowers.
In 1999, Bill Clinton signed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which repealed the Depression-era Glass-Steagall Act allowing commercial and investment banks to merge, creating massive financial conglomerates that took on riskier investments using consumer deposits. The bill was authored by Sen. Phil Gramm R-TX (b. 1942), Rep. Jim Leach R-IA (1942-2024) and Rep. Tom Bliley R-VA (1932-2023). Clinton also signed the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000. This bill was introduced by Rep.Tom Ewing R-IL (b. 1935) and it specifically exempted credit-default swaps (the complex derivatives that ultimately amplified and spread the subprime mortgage crisis) from federal oversight and regulation. These deregulatory acts took effect in July 2001.
The Bush administration made repeated efforts for more oversight over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The 2 biggest obstacles to accomplishing that - Rep. Barney Frank D-MA (1940-2026) and Rep. Maxine Waters D-CA (b. 1938) who were both prominent members of the House Committee on Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs.
Feel free to blame 2 presidents that were born in 1946 but the “leadership” that crafted, lobbied for and passed this defective legislation along with the idiots that then fought to protect it were NOT baby boomers.

You’re reducing minor league levels so owners can save money. I’ve never seen a league essentially de-emphasize the sport. This means major league clubs will want to have stake in colleges. This alone should make you hope this thing doesn’t pass. You think CFB is pro sports? Imagine having LSU’s roster micromanaged by an MLB team.
Why would major league teams want to save money by subsidizing fewer minor league teams only turn around a subsidize colleges whose players they don’t hold the rights to negotiate contracts with?
He needs that tax revenue to refill the Strategic Oil Reserve and the MIC wants their $40 billion to re-stock all those weapons we used destroying that fishing fleet that we refer to as the Iranian Navy.
I’ve worked thousands of Hurricane claims. I also worked the 2011 Alabama Tornado Outbreak. It may not be the scariest natural disaster footage, but the damage I witnessed in Hackleburg, AL with my own eyes was the most impactful thing I’ve ever seen in person.

I think this would be a win-win-win for franchises, college baseball and the players. Players can collect NIL, leave if they are ready after getting 2 years of college experience and education and up to 5 years to develop that they would never get in pro ball. College baseball gets every top prospect for at least 2 years and clubs don’t waste millions on some hot shot whose talent didn’t translate to the next level.

They aren’t screwed. The super low bonus guys are taking the offer willingly because they know they’re infinitely replaceable and taking the offer guarantees them a spot in affiliated ball.
Really? So why does MLB slot the first 10 rounds AND why do teams regularly pay ABOVE slot value? Does that mean being drafted in the first 10 rounds make that player irreplaceable?
quote:
Similar to when the NFLPA slashed rookie contracts and set slot caps. No one is actually at the table to fight for incoming guys. Their money just gets reallocated.
Now the MLB draft is a completely different beast so I'm very intrigued to see how this plays out.
MLB should do the right thing and insure that college seniors are paid a fair slot bonus instead of letting them get screwed by franchises because the kid has no leverage since professional baseball is a legally sanctioned monopoly.
You can bet that if the rule is adopted, there will be a lot of back channel shenanigans trying to get agreements before teams are willing to use one of those 12 suddenly precious draft picks. I wonder if they will do away with compensatory picks.
