And what does that have to do with them promoting Mariano Duncan to the major league staff?

I mean, when you're selling out football stadiums, that $35 a seat adds up. They also have a media deal with and do extremely well in merch sales. So they're bringing in a ton of money.
But yeah, them not being paid the max that they could when they still make good money is not an argument for them being exploitative. They're making way more than minor league players while playing less games.
JDDJS
Well your friend is a complete moron. The average salary is 6 figures. That's way higher than what players make in the minors and other independent baseball leagues. Their schedules are also less demanding than the minor leagues.

Yeah, anyone pretending universal healthcare was an option is a moron. Obamacare is extremely far from perfect, but it was absolutely the best that could happen at the time.

Build a list of legislators who are voting against universal healthcare. Shame them in the public arena.
Were you even alive back then? Because universal healthcare was absolutely not popular with the majority voters at the time. It's only in recent years that it has gotten popular, and Obamacare is arguably a major factor in the shift in public opinion.

I like that SmartyPants releases the Smarty Shorts during the other week.

The COVID lockdowns were absolutely necessary. However, it's extremely weird that you're downplaying them as minor inconveniences.
Add in parents who couldn't handle being responsible for their kids 247, instead of dumping them off 5 days a week at taxpayer funded daycare (schools).
Schools close in the summer and most parents handle it fine. It's a huge difference when the kids can't see their friends, can't go anywhere and still have to try to complete school work. We still haven't made up the academic losses from the pandemic yet.
As a contributing member of a healthy society, you have to make some personal, small sacrifices on occasion for the good of the whole, civilized society.
It wasn't a small sacrifice. It was huge.
Again, the lockdowns were absolutely worth the alternative of thousands of more people dying of COVID. But it absolutely wasn't some sort of minor inconvenience.

Going by the comments, I'm like 90% sure OP is a bot.

Why do they draw Sarada like that??

Actually, she is a character. https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/J._K._Rowling_(in-universe)

Why waste time on a bill that you know is going to fail? He knew what did and didn't have the votes to pass. He did the best he could with the Congress that he had.

If they were one on one battles, it would be Wrex, Samara or Jack. Jack's and Samara's biotics are two powerful in one vs one for most, Wrex has biotics and Krogan durability though, so he'll be tough to beat one on one.
But it's hard to tell in a battle royal situation. You might have several people team up to eliminate the biggest threats (Wrex, Samara and Jack) early on, and they'll struggle again multiple extremely powerful opponents. If the battle stretches out to days, EDI and Legion have clear advantages as not needing food, water and sleep.

He didn't have the votes for universal healthcare.

Is Drummond hurt?

There was a whole article about it.
I love how her friend is just a whole non factor in the story. She doesn't mention talking about it even once with her.
