This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽‍♀️ Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

Agreed, but the other side statistically produces much worse and it’s often not close. Something as simple as high school graduation, 70% of drop outs come from single parent households compared to 30% from 2 parent households

Spoke to a teacher from New York. Makes $140,000/yr with a 10 month schedule. Retires in 2026 with ~ $90,000/yr pension + full health benefits. Traditional careers like this can be game changers. Why aren’t more people doing this?!

I also don’t understand the alleged teacher shortage

Seeing a lot of Greenville,SC is amazing tweets. I’m wondering why more people aren’t talking about moving to the Midwest like Ohio,Indiana, and Illinois? They have low COL and lots of affordable housing.

Are ppl really discovering they have ADHD in their mid 30s-40s or are they just getting older?

A parent and bus driver in Fayetteville NC got Into A fight because the student grabbed the bus driver butt and the bus driver“Put Her Hands On Him” the mother got upset and confronted the bus driver

Ain’t no way niggas surprised that walker texas ranger is conservative

STRONG strong case for James Borrego to remain full time as Pelicans head coach! But, people I talk to continue to tell me the belief around the organization is that Joe Dumars and Troy Weaver will hire “their coach” this offseason.

As you realize the college sports you grew up with doesn’t exist anymore, it hits you that it may have all been a facade. The reason these teams below existed was largely to players being exploited with no ability to make money & punished for transferring. NIL introduced….cream rises to the top. In 2012 a guy who fell through the cracks in recruiting would spend 4 years at a mid major and develop there…not anymore. 80% of those players trickle up to make the major conference teams that were losing in 2008 better in 2026. College sports was prob better in 2010 but it was due to a model that unequivocally ripped off athletes. I am open to being wrong here, but the game has changed forever and what we watched years ago was fake.

Then on top of that, people who brag about how "colleges were making hand over fist while the players got nothing!!!" are thinking of power schools. MOST D1 colleges--your "mid major" "G5" schools--were not and are not balling out like that yet forced into the same arms race now
