@GarrettSprints Bill, Pete Caroll, Gary Kubiak, and Doug Pederson all won rings more recently and all got fucking fired more recently. End it!

@koestreicher34 Honestly a B-. They finally pushed the chips in but aren’t going far enough despite 40M in cap space available. Unless there’s a trade or big contract in the works then we went all in but downgraded the role player positions heavily.

How would you grade the Ravens' offseason so far?

Fertility rates collapse is a global crisis.
i/o@avidseries
Mexico’s total fertility rate in 2024 (1.60) was lower than that of the US (1.62). In 1970, Mexico's fertility rate was 6.83.

@Dr_Derael @joakial_ No it’s hard to understand because the average American thinks the rich pay the entirety of the social welfare costs
English
Explaining that a social-democratic welfare state depends on a strong tax base, meaning that most people, particularly the middle class, must contribute relatively high taxes for it to work.

name something harder than this

@jlippincott_ No new taxes cost him everything. It sucks because he really was a great president
English
George HW Bush oversaw the collapse of the Soviet Union, captured Noriega, and won a lightning war against Iraq.
He lost re-election.

People freaking out about midterms in 8 months ignore the fact that we’ve experienced 10-20 years of foreign policy wins in the last 2 months. Relax.

@LeanderIosephus @WW3finalboss Not even picking the best Republican here. HW clears them.

@WW3finalboss Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump and George W Bush, the top 3.

@darraghwo @lugaricano @mattyglesias The UK has legitimately so many massive problems it really is a tough competition to pick out the worst.
English
@lugaricano @mattyglesias A worthy candidate but there's a lot of competition for that crown, to be fair
English
The UK triple lock is the singlest stupidest policy in the entire Western world, and the most damaging to the future of a country. Of course, it is also untouchable and almost undiscussed in the UK press. @mattyglesias does a big favour to the UK public here.

@lugaricano @mattyglesias minimum wage has been rising faster than pensions - what’s that doing to the economy?

@VasilisLerikos @AdamBMore This is tough between Zeitler and Clowney. Honestly both have taken a step back so I lean Zeitler because a competent guard is more needed then an average or slightly above average pass rusher
English
@AdamBMore
If you could only pick one (hypothetically same cost), who are you signing?
Clowney, Zeitler, Njoku or Hopkins

@The_Bizness22 I actually think Joe D did a good job drafting but just failed to find QB
English
Ozzie’s GM tree is complete dogshit.
Joe Douglas, Joe Hortiz, Eric De Costa… a bunch of absolute bums
Cam@GigaLadd
@juss1700 Same shit happened last year with over $90M in cap. Need a 100% hit rate in the draft or I’m cleaning house

@aki_being @RockChartrand @SarasvuoJari Yes we should go back to the way finance was before banks! Are you in agreement to become part of the large swath of humans who doesn’t make it to age 5?
English
@HalotiMatata @RockChartrand @SarasvuoJari The only other way for banks yes. Are we pretending that money didn’t move before banking? And poorer maybe, but worshipping wealth is a poor way to live indeed.
English
Rent, profit, and interest aren’t theft. They come from voluntary agreements involving property, risk, capital, and time.
Pretending only physical labor creates value is childish economics.
And if your rule were true, the first thing it would condemn is welfare, because that actually takes money from someone else’s labor by force.
So the slogan doesn’t expose anything profound. It just exposes how little thought went into the premise.
English
@aki_being @RockChartrand @SarasvuoJari The only way to lend without interest is if banks take stake in what they invest in. So Islamic economics. A way less efficient way to allocate capital. A way to be poorer
English
@RockChartrand @SarasvuoJari True but interest is absolutely very much a bad thing there’s a reason so many Jewish people do well financially and they do not charge interest from each other as the Old Testament explicitly forbids usury
English
@Paul_Tegnazian @feelsdesperate Why is there no expectation of the governor of MD to serve Virginia constituents or any state governor for neighboring states?
English
And remember the money isn’t really being spent to ‘house the homeless.’
It’s going to special interests within the Homelessness Industrial Complex who will be receiving wildly inflated above market salaries and fees for services.
Izengabe@Izengabe_
$1.9 billion to house 10,000 homeless in NYC hotels for 3 years is $190,000 per homeless person. Mamdani's contract will spend $63,333 a year ($5,277 a month) to house homeless in hotel rooms with no drug or mental health services. This is what Mamdani's raising your taxes for.

@Ideiasradicais @cafreiman Scandinavia doesn’t just have high taxes for the rich but the middle class and working class (via VAT)
English
@cafreiman But they do want that taxing. On someone else.

@HalotiMatata @SukritGanesh Ok in the U.S. it’s 8.

4 years for med school isn't the problem. The 4 years of undergrad + a de facto mandatory gap year (or two) is the elephant in the room. We should have combined medical programs that let you go from a high school diploma to an MD in 5 years, followed by 2 years of residency.
John Arnold@johnarnold
AI should allow med schools to rethink whether 4 years is still necessary for med school. If students can focus more on clinical practice and less on memorizing the Krebs cycle and molecular bio, many programs could eliminate a year, reducing both costs and physician shortages.
English
@Paul_Tegnazian @feelsdesperate Why should the mayor of NYC be tasked to serve a constituency that doesn’t vote for him? Like he should serve his voters
English
@HalotiMatata @feelsdesperate Governor of NY is Democrat.
Governor endorsed the Mayor.
Mayor of NYC is Democrat.
They can work together. They have billion at their disposal to do what they and their backers wish.
They can fund NGOs to get around the rules too.
Your imagination is lacking.
English
This isn’t correct technically but for all practical and intensive purposes is true. So you are technically correct the best fork of correct
Elagabalus@Heliogabaule
@JacobAShell @_fat_ugly_rat_ arguably there is literally no mechanism which may give the Federal Government the authority to ever redraw borders of the states, I don’t even think a Constitutional Amendment. They are both sovereign and dependent. But I do think it should be attempted, it would be interesting.
English
@Heliogabaule @JacobAShell @_fat_ugly_rat_ I mean it would require an amendment to do it at that scale but individually states can swap parts as long as there legislatures and Congress sign off. A hilarious thought.
English
@HalotiMatata @JacobAShell @_fat_ugly_rat_ For all 50 states and various territories to edit their borders, erasing several and creating several states, I think the only way it could get done is like a national convention where all states agree to the new borders and then getting their congressional delegations to approve
English
I am jealous of countries (e.g. France, Indonesia) that redraw their internal state/provincial boundaries whenever it makes sense and it's no big deal. In the US it's just impossible, and we're forever stuck with states that have been obsolete since like 1830.
Vintage Maps@vintagemapstore
What the 50 US states might look like if they were redrawn today based on economic connections.

@feelsdesperate This is a bribe to hotels taking a beating due to international travel plummeting
English
@Paul_Tegnazian @feelsdesperate Mamadi is mayor of the city not upstate man.
English
@feelsdesperate Just relocate them to where it’s cheaper. For example, Upstate NY. It’s cheaper, people are struggling, and infusing state funds into the people and money there would be a net good.
And there is plenty of affordable access to NYC by bus and train.
Shameful this is prevented.
