I can always tell that they’re fixing it because they don’t show the replay of what looked like an uncalled penalty (against LAFC)…

Oh wow, the guy who was not given any punishment for a deliberate kick out… scores.

That’s a red card. A kick out is a red card. This after a clear yellow card for a pull back is not even called a foul.

The best argument I've ever heard for universal basic income (UBI). "The reason we don't call that work is because it doesn't make rich people money." 🎤Craig Fay

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world. This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵
OBSERVED EFFECTS OF UBI

No significant reduction in labor supply (38 studies meta-analysis)

Increased self-employment (301%) and part-time employment (17%)

Slight decrease in alcohol and tobacco use (31 studies meta-analysis)

New mothers extend their maternity leaves

Birth weights improve due to better maternal nutrition

Graduation rates and educational outcomes improve

Hospitalization rates decline (8.5%)

Crime goes down (15%–42%) especially illegal hunting (95%)

Domestic violence decreases (30%–51%)

Trust increases (13% in politicians | 6% in other people)

Home ownership rates increase (17%–26%)

Food security increases as does consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables

Improved cognitive functioning (43%) and personality traits (31%)

Savings go up, debts go down

The media gave more coverage to a totally fake, invented idea that the federal government was withholding aid to Hurricane Helene victims in 2024 than to Trump actually doing it in 2025/26. Why did the fake story get more coverage than the real one?

This is why a government agency should not be running a stadium. They didn’t consult the teams? Some beaurocrat getting paid $500,000 a year just picked one from a website? Like buying IKEA furniture? Honestly the perfect example of specifically why the Caps should run BC Place.

This is why the club should be running the stadium instead of a bunch of overpaid beurocrats working at justifying their bloated public salaries.

This take is so funny because Jesse would be the example of what most people around the world do NOT expect from an American. Is embraced by another country and embraces it back! Meanwhile, USMNT has an American coach, right?

The problem is not food insecurity. In the vast majority of Canada there is plenty of food. The real real problem is financial insecurity. Ensure people have enough money to buy food and "food insecurity" disappears. We need a universal basic income.
