@history_under This just simply isn't true not to mention Trump is WAY further down the king path than Obama ever was.

@WhiteHouse Why is everything a meme?
Idiocracy type bullshit.

@SignalNCapital @Pirat_Nation Life and health insurance should NOT be tied to employment. That needs to change, yesterday

@Pirat_Nation So what’s the solution? You become immune to being let go if you’re sick? That’s not how businesses work.

@HeathMayo Republicans are better at fear which is above all else. But, after the boomers, the GOP we know today will be completely different. Gen X is too small to keep them going at this rate.

he isn't wrong, the republicans did end slavery and the democrats legacy was about preserving and saving slavery for their own greed.
now you will have some conspiracists say "oh but the ideologies switched over time" not even remotely true, i think democrats agendas became better when JFK was in charge, i think JFK changed their foundation and symbolised them as "good" and truthfully JFK was a great leader. if JFK was alive today he'd be considered republican by the modern generation.
I don't think ive heard anyone on the right say "lets bring back slavery" thats just false.

The NBA isn't a basketball league anymore; it's a debt-servicing operation for real estate developers.
Mark Cuban’s 40-minute proposal is the first time an owner has admitted the truth: The 82-game schedule exists solely to prevent arena leases from collapsing. We are forcing the world’s best athletes to destroy their knees for an extra 8 minutes of "inventory" that nobody actually watches.
The data is undeniable: A 40-minute game reduces seasonal load by 14 games without losing a single cent of gate revenue. It’s the only way to save the regular season without bankrupting the teams.
This reveals a sickening reality: We’ve prioritized "minutes of advertising" over the "quality of the product." We’d rather watch a tired superstar play 48 minutes of mediocre basketball than a rested superstar play 40 minutes of elite basketball.
The 48-minute game is a relic of a time when we valued quantity over health. It’s time to stop pretending the extra 8 minutes is for the fans.

Make the games 40 minutes.
8 x 82 / 48 =13.667 That’s the equivalent number of games you would reduce the schedule by. Without breaking arena leases.
Works for college. Works for international. Works for the WNBA.
AND.
If you looking at tv and streaming ratings, the less the actual playing time for a televised game, the bigger the ratings.
Ie, the less time fans have to focus on a game, the more they enjoy watching it on tv

0 for 3! Also — notice how none of the ideas involve shortening the season which is partly how we fell into this tanking sinkhole in the first place. They come up with 3 “solutions” and none of the 3 are “what would 72 games look like?” This league is so frustrating
English

@mcuban Just turn the games into YouTube Shorts or Tiktoks and you'll get a whole new generation of fans
