re: Steph Curry: NBA stars are underpaid, would like to have equity in NBA franchises

Their ridiculous salaries are based, in part, on revenue sharing, so I don't know what exactly he should be complain about when he's worth almost half a billion dollars.
If there weren't an artificial cap on what these employees could make, he would be making much more. Hence, he is 100% correct that he had been underpaid most of his career.
His blame is misplaced. There is a player's union that negotiated the terms for the entire group and he agreed. The union could ask for the cap to be removed. His issue is with his Union reps, not the team owners. This is the deal they negotiated.
They need to allow those slimy agents and companies to bank roll young athletes and own a percentage of all of their future earnings. Some how, I think Steph would have a different opinion.

For the 2024-2025 college application cycle, UT Austin’s acceptance rate is 26.6%,
UT Austin’s out-of-state acceptance rate is 10%,
Top-Tier Majors: Admission for top-tier programs like Computer Science, Engineering, and Business is even more restricted for non-residents, sometimes falling as low as 2-8%.
UT Austin’s transfer acceptance rate is 22.5%.
UT Austin announced that students will need to be in the top 5%, compared to the 6% the previous year.
For Fall 2025, the University of Texas at Austin set a record-high undergraduate enrollment of 44,314 students. This marks an increase from the Fall 2024 undergraduate population of 43,165. Total enrollment, including graduate students, reached 55,000

Steph is a very wealthy man. There is no law against him starting his own team, his own league and owning 100% of the equity. Consult Ice Cube and LIV.
So why not?
But that would be difficult, expensive and take a long time, and would have no guarantees!!
You know, like what the NBA has built and invested in for 79 years.
Using Steph’s line of logic, the NBA is entitled to equity in all of his endorsement and business ventures off the court, because being a star in the NBA is the reason for those deals.
Remove the limits on max salaries. Remove the salary floor. Allow non guaranteed contracts. The owners would happily accept your terms.

Soooo….
A 30 year old teacher in California still has to live at home because Dem controlled California is the most unaffordable state for the middle and working class. Illegal immigration causes higher cost of living and more competition for resources- hates ICE
California also has a publicly named Rapist as a congressman and until 2 weeks ago was going to be their Gov - Trumps fault
The accusation is always a confession

re: Mamdani excited first city owned grocery. 30 million dollar project

Aldi
It Costs Aldi about $1.5-3M to Open a New Store
The 5 New York City Run Grocery Stores are budgeted at $60M total
The First Store actually has a $30M Budget to Open
This is after the city will own the sites, waive rent and property taxes, and partner with third-party operators while subsidizing to keep prices lower.
So with a TON of regulations waived, costs absorbed by the tax payers, the project still has a 10x budget,(which they will go way over)

No sense. They had nothing to fear if legal. Name the legal citizen who has been deported. Simply propaganda

30% of an ER waiting room being illegal immigrants is entirely accurate

They really nailed an issue with immigration.
Earlier in the season we see the dad who can’t afford care, already $100k in medical debt, needs a go fund me and ultimately has to leave the ER due to the cost of care. He is embarrassed and shamed for outrageous healthcare costs.
This episode nails why that care is so expensive. Even in an ER 1500+ miles from the border, the hospital is overcrowded by illegal immigrants.
Really hit home to show the American tax payer has been saddled with the world as their dependents. That broke dad is forced to subsidize any and all and has no say in the matter.
The ER wait time was immediately drastically reduced, limited resources were saved, as well as tax dollars (for a few hours).
Subsidizing the world leads to poor and expensive care for Americans.
Same thing happens for pharmaceuticals. The American tax payer get screwed.

It’s amazing how much leftist discourse is just them pretending not to understand things, thus making discourse impossible.

SEC realized they had a bunch of worthless teams sucking up revenue and bringing nothing to the table.
They needed more make ‘ers not takers.
It was a bet on the future vs the Big 10. The trailer park conference stood no chance in the future without Texas.

Needed an editor to get it down to 90 mins.
Basically a redo of Battlefield Los Angeles.
30 min boot camp + endless flashbacks completely unnecessary.
Otherwise a solid action flick and hope the make a sequel

How much can Cami really do? The only reason she is in business is because of the cartel money. That is the same money funding BBT. Cartel can shut her down before she even starts to make a noise.
Cartel had a signed contract with cooper before MTX was ever in the picture

If the film lost money she still gets paid. She has zero risk in this transaction and her compensation reflected that.

We pay weekly high score through the championship week, regardless of playoff status.
Keeps everyone involved all season, and keeps the waiver wire actions the same as all season long instead of zero competition for players.
