Look, I’m gonna be real with you - college athletes need to stop listening to anyone who doesn’t respect the constitution and the rule of law.
It’s astonishing how far our society has declined that someone like this is not only taken seriously, but is accepted as representative of mainstream attitudes.

re: NCAA Appeals Trinidad Chambliss Decision

quote:And in the mean time?
The NCAA has filed an appeal to an unbiased appellate court who will now look at the facts of the case without prejudice.
Any idea when the appellate case may be settled? Because until then isn't he allow him to play?

You are easy to manipulate.
Credible sources (Reuters, AP, BBC, CNN, Guardian, Al Jazeera, etc.) confirm the core claim is largely accurate, with clarifications:
- Iranian frigate IRIS Dena participated in India's MILAN 2026 naval exercise (Feb 2026) alongside the U.S.; its sailors joined onshore parades/ceremonies (including before President Murmu).
- The U.S. did not pull out last-minute from the exercise—the event ended ~Feb 25; the attack happened March 4 while the ship returned home via international waters off Sri Lanka.
- A U.S. submarine sank it with one Mark 48 torpedo (Pentagon-confirmed, first such sinking since WWII).
- No sources call it "unarmed" (it was a combat frigate).
- U.S. made no rescue effort; Sri Lanka Navy rescued 32 survivors and recovered ~87 bodies (dozens missing).
The exercise participation, post-exercise torpedo sinking, no U.S. rescue, and Sri Lankan recovery of bodies/dead are well-reported.

quote:No personnel were lost.
Senseless way to lose military personel.
Whether the Pentagon agrees with POTUS commands or not, its job is to plan and execute them precisely and meticulously.
Military leadership is responsible for providing honest, professional advice; developing feasible plans that align with all constraints; clearly communicating risks, assumptions, and tradeoffs; and executing approved plans to professional standards.
If the military failed to surface known risks, accepted unrealistic assumptions without objection, or executed the plan poorly within the approved scope of the operation, then the failure rests with them.

quote:The question isn’t whether higher COGS is simply worse in a vacuum—it’s whether we let foreign governments and producers unilaterally dictate the terms (and costs) of trade to the US, or whether our government should have tools to push back.
being forced to overpay for COGS
Unrestricted free trade across the board (or even one-sided free trade) is undoubtedly better economically, but why should the US bear all the costs?

quote:Unless AI on that scale is exceedingly cheap, how will all these companies hope to payoff the capital investments?
Yang's argument, I believe it is that companies will chase short term profits at the detriment of long-term survival. Yang calls it "The frickening."
...
If company A's valuation goes up because of AI implementation and lay-offs, Company B will chase that and have their own lay-offs and AI implementation.
We already see our existing power infrastructure challenged. To create and distribute all the required energy for this will take massive long term capital investment (they are not going to displace 75% of worked just by getting a Copilot license).
Companies do not commit to such long term investments without thoroughly evaluating the IRR which includes evaluating future demand and revenues.

quote:Please explain where their profits will come from when there are no people left to afford anything?
Companies will not hold on to people over profits. Educated workforce will be laid off with no where to go.
We still live in a market economy. Productivity tools like AI only survive if they deliver real value to consumers—otherwise, the market kills them.
How exactly does destroying your customer base create “enhanced value”? What will all this AI produce when demand vanishes because the consumers are suddenly unemployed?
Supply and demand are two sides of the same coin. Unless we’ve fundamentally misunderstood how markets work, no innovation scales massively if it destroys demand instead of creating it.
No mass employment -> no mass demand -> no need for mass supply.
So what exactly will Fortune 500 companies sell to fund the power-hungry data centers and keep advanced AI running?
Serious question.

Where is the money to support all of these hands on jobs?
For that matter, where is the money to pay for all the products and services the Fortune 500 companies exploiting AI create when 75% of workers no longer have an income?
What I’d like to know is who is going to pay all those plumbers and electricians when nobody else has any income?
Where are all the bleeding hearts crying about 5000 thrown out of their jobs?
