Same thing would've happened 10 years ago

It didn't work because they're black and righteous, it worked because they stopped playing football.

That's not to denigrate their cause or anything, but holding a knife up to the throat of a D1 football team would've had the same result in 2005. If it hadn't the team would've been booted from the conference instantly and replaced with another school that wanted millions of dollars

I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!

Why are you defending this. This is 100% grounds for termination when your job is to a president of a school. A public school. Do you think he shouldn't be forced into resignation for this?

Cause he's been out of the game too long. He hasn't trolled us in a good couple of months and chose a bad topic to start back up on. There's not enough right wing blog posts to parrot that aren't just calling for the football players to be lynched.

It's really hard to maintain the position that people like this deserve to have ongoing access to affordable care. With any luck he will, but if not I'd hope to see news outlets across the state doing interviews with the people who did this to themselves, pain and all. Put their shame and remorse up for all to see as a cautionary tale.

I understand why that statement is incorrect (and you cut off the part of his quote where he predicted it would be incorrect), but no, poor phrasing is not a firing offense.

Of course, but this is a guy who voted for a guy who was literally campaigning on taking his healthcare away and now he's surprised he's taking his healthcare away. How much sympathy am I supposed to have here? Of course I'd like for someone to step in and ensure he doesn't die on the street, but it never even had to come to that and even if that does happen, I'm sure it will be "oh Bevin's not such a bad guy as I thought, I'll keep voting R in future"

If the identity politics that he voted for ends up killing him, he wouldn't be the first.

We desperately need to break the "businessmen and CEOs create jobs" taking point once and for all. They do the exact loving opposite, either out of greed or under threat of legal action from shareholders. Creating jobs is never ever a businessman's first priority, and they will only do so when they have no other choice. It is in every businessman's best financial interest to have as few employees as possible.

The only entity that can and is capable of creating jobs purely for the sake of increasing employment is the government.

This is business 101 poo poo but so few people seem to get it.

Yup. And he's not alone in his story either. The rural counties that went 50%+ margin of victory for Bevin benefited the most from Kynect and the medicaid expansion.

American culture is largely geared towards loving over poor people while convincing them that it's good that they are being hosed over. The other part of it is convincing not-rich people that it's the other not-rich people who are the problem, and that those people deserve to suffer and die.

There is no right way to enact change. If you do it violently, you should've done it non-violently. If you do it non-violently, then obviously what you are trying to change isn't that important.
