I think that MBAs are useful, in case you are looking for an answer to the question of "Is lightpole a total fucking idiot".
Calling it a strike might trigger player consequences possibly? Also the NBA has no power over Kenosha PD so they would be helpless in this instance and unable to meet the strike demands. I'm not sure the wording matters in this instance, players are united and the organizations will most likely have to address it in a responsive manner (I hope).

Wildcat strike.

quote:

A wildcat strike action, often referred to as a wildcat strike, is a strike action undertaken by unionized workers without union leadership's authorization, support, or approval; this is sometimes termed an unofficial industrial action.

Call it a Wildcat strike, it's as rad as it sounds.

Fuckin LMAO the NBA owners totally have the power to make a bunch of phone calls, tug on some grift strings, litterally go on TV and say "Neither Jam nor Slam will be aired until JUSTICE IS ACHEIEVED" and it would work.

Birds that are in the hurricane’s path that go through the eyewall say “gently caress that poo poo” and just hang out in the eye until the storm weakens. It’s mainly the big open ocean soaring birds so they’re fine with just hanging out.

The rising winds help them to just float on updrafts which helps with birb exhaustion too, they probably lose more through dehydration.

Well that looks awful. Hope it's going well.

That pass sucked. 5 penetrations total tonight. We hit a lot of updrafts and had to do a bunch of speed adjustments to keep things smooth. Not too many big hits though. Some negative G’s as well.

We were seeing 137kts on the surface but we couldn’t find enough to call it a cat V. NHC is going with 130kts officially to keep it a IV.

We do see birds in the eye sometimes. We hit one a few years ago and didn’t know it. It got power washed off by the storm but we had a big dent in the leading edge of the wing that needed fixing.

Beaumont and Port Arthur and Lake Charles are going to have a real bad time. Record winds, record storm surge. Those alone have nearly half a million residents and the surrounding area is sprawl. There is going to be 500,000+ displaced people tomorrow and this will certainly stack with our pandemic and economic depression. In a normal year most of those people would have been able to drive back into town and start dealing insurance for water damage. The following weeks won’t just be a tragedy of the houses destroyed by the storm, but the knock on effects of even temporary displacement for evacuees and muddled by whatever federal aid is supplied as a token since FEMA doesn’t have any gas in the tank.

These loving ghouls are saying "gently caress you, go bankrupt" to cities and states for Covid related budget shortfalls to the tune of hundreds of billions nationwide.

These same loving lowlife scum sucking pieces of poo poo give away government money to corporations like candy, for such small bribes. It's pathetic for how little they can be bought.

I doubt these ghouls will adequately fund the massive recovery effort these places will need after record hurricanes.

Police had the Patriot's owner Robert Kraft getting a blowie ON VIDEO in a sting op and he still all but walked free... I think the trial itself is still up in the air but the video evidence is thrown out due to invasion of privacy and lack of "minimization" by police. It doesn't matter if they have you dead to rights if you're rich.
