That house is more overpriced than the Knicks tickets ngl

For the price of a Knicks Finals ticket you can buy a 4 bedroom house in Oklahoma City

@Veritasweb3 @MonarchoHoppean @BigMan300300 @psharingWW @Is_Not_Brian Under Marxist theory which is what we’re discussing here, it does. What employee ears for company minus what company pays = surplus value. Employer taking surplus value is exploitation.
English
@LxJefe @MonarchoHoppean @BigMan300300 @psharingWW @Is_Not_Brian Paying someone less than they make for the business doesn't automatically equal exploitation
Its a question of degree
English
Athletes are the only rich people on earth who actually earn all of their money without exploiting anyone.
Я@LJJM__
I wonder how Wemby’s Marxist woke idolatry worshippers will feel when he signs that 5/$500 million contract the second it’s offered
English
@NakedSnowNinja @MonarchoHoppean @BigMan300300 @psharingWW @Is_Not_Brian Bro just wanted to defend the jersey sellers I guess.
English
@MonarchoHoppean @LxJefe @BigMan300300 @psharingWW @Is_Not_Brian You started comparing apples to oranges and then you started talking exclusively about oranges when this conversation was about apples. Just so you could “prove a point” but your point wasn’t even the original part of the conversation til you brought it up.
English
@MonarchoHoppean @BigMan300300 @psharingWW @Is_Not_Brian You did, right here.
And yes exploitation is this context is taking surplus value from your employee.
LeBron is actually the worst example for you to use on this because due to the salary cap he’s worth way more to his teams than he’s paid.
English
@LxJefe @BigMan300300 @psharingWW @Is_Not_Brian Who said anything about exploiting LeBron?
The small business owner who makes 5-6 figures is exploiting his employees, while LeBron is being exploited by the NBA despite making 9 figures. Is that right?
English
@MonarchoHoppean @BigMan300300 @psharingWW @Is_Not_Brian The small business doesn’t employ LeBron. Nike does. The employer is the exploitative one because they pay LeBron less than he makes for them
English
@BigMan300300 @psharingWW @Is_Not_Brian Again, what the fuck does that have to do with the question?

@Sheridanblog @engrdarvin20 30m a yeah is 4th guy money on the Knicks, Cavs and Thunder too. Gotta recalibrate salaries in today’s league
English
Not surprising this is your reaction, given your entire identity appears to be your love of Vassell.
Overpriced and replaceable does not mean he's not providing them great two-way value right now, but his contract wasn't rooted in the role he's playing now, it was rooted in being one of the top guys on the team at the time. If you don't think a 4th option being paid nearly 30M per year is an overpay, you should just stop talking about NBA salaries
English
Dylan Harper: 20 years old, 6'5", 215lbs, 6'11 wingspan, 2nd pick, potential star but needs to clean up efficiency
Stephon Castle: 21 years old, 6'6", 215lbs, 6'9" wingspan, 4th pick, potential star but needs to clean up efficiency
Wemby: 22 years old, 7'4", 240lbs, 8'0" wingspan LOL, 1st pick, generational superstar
Devin Vassell: 25 years old, 6'5", 200lbs, 6'10" wingspan, 11th pick, strong 4th option, fits great and knows the system but overpaid and replaceable
Julian Champagnie: 24 years old, 6'7", 220lbs, 6'10" wingspan, un-freaking-drafted, perfect in his role, practically free of charge
Carter Bryant: 20 years old, 6'6", 220lbs, 7'0" wingspan, 14th pick, not much of a rookie year but could blossom into a two-way talent under the Spurs system
Keldon Johnson: 26 years old, 6'5", 220lbs, 6'9" wingspan, 29th pick, probably not a championship-caliber player, overpriced one-way player who should eventually be replaced
Harrison Barnes: Expiring contract, probably moving on judging by lack of usage in the playoffs (probably a mistake to use Bryant more at his age)
Luke Kornet: 30 years old, 7'1", 250lbs, 7'1" wingspan, undrafted, perfect backup center, can plug into starting lineup (20-5 when he started this season), signed for years to come for great value
I didn't even mention De'Aaron Fox, who I think needs to be traded because he costs too much, they'll have to use that money to lock in their young stars, and he is holding Harper back from starting. Trade for a PF who is better than Champagnie, bolster bench by bringing Champagnie off the bench
Plumlee/Olynyk/Biyombo/Waters as 3rd string vets.
It took them a long time, but the Spurs did a hell of a job building a team that will dominate for the next 10-15 years with room for improvement. They have great two-way talent and underrated two-way players who aren't undersized, surrounding a generational talent in Wemby.
I look at this team building, and all I can do is shake my head at how disgustingly awful the Warriors organization has been in comparison.

@Garlicbackup @DaRealMoss92 @Mappy6984 Companies are sometimes bad so you should steal from them is single digit iq logic

@DaRealMoss92 @Mappy6984 Most these million dollar company’s rob these hard working underpaid tax payers all year round, and you acting like it’s a stick up you ass and your an owner because because steal from them??? Go fuck yourself BOT
English
Who have the spurs or Thunder played that’s better than who the Knicks have played? Thunder played a horrible suns team and a lakers team without their best player. Spurs played the horrible trailblazers and beyond injured timberwolves 💀 none of those team are a higher level of completion than the hawks, 76ers or Cavs 😂😂
English
I haven’t even run my model yet and I can tell you that the Knicks getting +4.5 points vs the Spurs in a potential game 1 is dead wrong. I reserve judgement on OKC until I see my numbers
Anyways our great friends at @FDSportsbook has Finals numbers up now for Game 1.

A lot of fear and misinformation about this - but it doesn’t apply for dual intent visas like H1s and O1s so most skilled immigrants are not affected
However spouses and family members of US citizens will be affected which is a big deal
Homeland Security@DHSgov
An alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply. This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes. The era of abusing our nation’s immigration system is over.
English
English
@Nick_Davidov @StopTheCoup2020 We don't need you . It's as simple as that. Think of all that wonderful talent you mentioned that will be returned to their own country to do all of the spectacular work you said the United States will lose.
We will take our chances.
Get out.
English
The biggest bullshit move by DHS in its history. So everyone on a O1 or H1B visa would have to stop working legally in the US, go back to their country and wait for years of backlog? This includes top scientists in our universities, founders of billion dollar companies (at least 3 just in our portfolio would be affected by the way). And if we look at individual countries it becomes even more bs. Indians would have to wait decades. Russians don’t have anywhere to go (there is no US embassy in Russia, hello?).
This is the worst imaginable way to disrupt important work for the country and pretend you’re fighting some loophole.

@MattMileHigh @davidrivase @tomselliott @AOC That’s not how markets work otherwise all jobs would pay terribly. Do you think owners just decided that some jobs pay more than others or it is supply of capable workers and demand for those workers
English
@davidrivase @tomselliott @AOC Wages are set by the market and guess who sets that market? The business owners. Why do you think that fast food wages increased dramatically with the rise of In & Out? Because if one influential owner raises the wages, the others have to do so as well to remain competitive

Jeff Bezos explains to @AOC how billionaires are created: providing at least a billion dollars in value to society -- the opposite of exploitation.
Bezos: "Let me give you a simple example. Let’s say you start a burger joint, and you have 10 employees, and you make a little bit of money.”
SORKIN: “Right.”
Bezos: “Until you have — this is — this just one — one outlet. And by the way, these are the most delicious burgers in the world. People love your burgers, Andrew. And so then, you open a second outlet —”
SORKIN: “Right.”
Bezos: “— and now you’re making a little bit more money, and you have 20 employees. Nd you open a third outlet. By the time you’ve opened a thousand outlets, you are a billionaire.”
SORKIN: “Right.”
Bezos: “And by the way, this is a real life story, it happens all the time, it’s In-N-Out Burger, it’s Raising Cane’s Chicken. At what point did that money all of a sudden become unethical, or it didn’t? There was one outlet, and then there were two, and then there were three. What you’re doing — the way — the way you make a billion dollars, or a hundred million dollars, or 10 million dollars, or anything, is you create a service that people love. And if millions of people choose your service, you’re going to end up with a billion dollars.”
SORKIN: “Right.”
Bezos: “And you can, you know, just try it with a chicken franchise.”
SORKIN: “Do you think though —”
Bezos: “But your chicken has to be good.”

@Billvvzz @pseudeauriche Bro never been to a city. It’s both. Toronto had a lot of Jamaican immigration pre 2000 and a lot of Somali immigration post 2000. That’s a ton of the black population

@thaulos @ImperiumFirst It’s always so funny to me when ppl are proud and confident in the accomplishments of people who have no relation to you other than sharing the same skin color. Like go accomplish something yourself.
Sharing the same shade as Issac Newton isn’t something to be proud of.
English
What double standard? This nigga is projecting. I do not give a fuck if a black or an indian says something bad about my race. I am confident in my own race and ancestry and I know what historically we have been capable of compared to them.
Sounds to me like fuentes is projecting because he is a mexican and not fully European and Aryan so he is insecure about his own ancestry, race and identity

🇺🇸 Elon is going after Christopher Nolan's Odyssey casting. Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy set him off. Rumors that Elliot Page is playing Achilles haven't helped either. But the anger should be directed at the right target. Nolan didn't write the rules. Hollywood's DEI quotas, baked into how films qualify for major awards, came from elsewhere. Filmmakers either play by those rules or watch their projects lose Oscar eligibility before the cameras even roll. Hollywood broke storytelling. Nolan's just navigating the wreckage. The system that punishes faithful adaptations is the actual villain, and it lives way above any one director. @variety
