The NCAA is attempting to get some of its power back with its current bill before Congress, but even with it passing they wouldn’t have the stability of the NFL with its CBA. And the conferences currently have even less stability and no current path to an antitrust exception.

I don't disagree with this. IMO, the college players will eventually organize. The NCAA or the conferences will have rigid rules set in place, and those will be hashed out between the governing body and the players organization.

They may agree on the rules, but when it comes to enforcement, every school has an incentive to bury a rival—especially a traditional power.

I don't disagree with the gist of your post, and that self-governance will fail.

Just not for this reason.

You can only kick out so many rivals or have only so many leave your conference. At best you'd merely have teams switching conferences every few years and it's just a matter of time before someone who may have voted you out years ago is now forced to vote you back in. Money drives all of this. You need opponents that fans are vested in seeing you compete against. That's how you score the big TV deals.

The Saints and Atlanta are rivals in the NFL... but neither wants to put the other out of business. That would be counterproductive. It's very similar with conferences.

Because some of them want to be discharged and never had any true intent on taking their own life. Only the appearance of such.

I fail to see how LSU's offense let OM's offense go 7-9 on 3rd down in the first half.

Giving up nine plays (I think) for 20+ yds didn't help us either.

Notably, the SEC explicitly says it is not asking the court to declare any student-athlete ineligible or to prevent any student-athlete from competing. The suit targets only the institution and its officials.

Anyone who buys into this line of reasoning probably thought it was totally reasonable when people were told "no one's forcing you to get the shot." I mean sure you'll lose your job, you might be denied medical care, and maybe even jailed. But no one's forcing you.

I often try putting myself in people like your shoes. Meaning, what if the president were a Democrat that I despised, and we were in this same war with Iran? How would I feel?

I'd be pissed, if I truly felt we were "close to waving the white flag". And since it's out of my control but I felt I still needed to vent, I may even come here to do that. I'd express my frustrations and get it out my system as best I can. I may even argue with supporters of the president. That's what pissed off people do when things are fully out of their control.

But you... you're not pissed at all. In fact, your tone suggests that you're giddy. A pissed off person expresses their anger in no uncertain terms. A pissed off person is beyond the point where he feels he needs to goad and provoke others.

This proves beyond any doubt that your primary concern isn't with the war at all. The war is just the means toward the ends of seeing the president look bad. Tomorrow it'll be a different "outrage".

So which is it? Are you giddy? Or just an immature child?

Well, I got google earth open right now. That road isn't very long. There is already a giant Amazon Sortation Center, an Amazon warehouse, and a Club Car LLC (which seems like a very large operation.. going by building size). I wonder why they were okay with these things being right next door?

I have no issue with people opposing this. That's their right. Maybe they simply don't want more large industrial type facilities in the area. But they have no real leg to stand on it seems.

The people in the article you linked seem more butthurt than anything else. Their reasoning is all sentimental (not that it really matters, I suppose). I'd not be surprised if they themselves aren't the ones who sold their land to Amazon after it being in their family for over a century.

Also, while I am always in favor of protecting the smallest minority (which is ONE), this is more a case of a dozen or so homeowners spread out along a country road, rather than what most people would consider a "neighborhood".

Environmental impacts are a secondary concern that may be able to be mitigated(data centers in space maybe) . The main concern is that the human race is marching towards building something that could end our species.

Even if we assume this is correct, how does opposing datacenters prevent the end of humanity?

You think China is going to stop?

I think most people simply don't understand. Low information.

I have zero issues with them as long as they're paying for or building their own power supply.

I agree with you. Beaurocrats would simply wait out elected officials. Beaurocrats would gain power if term limits were enacted.
