    “In the NFL they got a bunch of old white men owning teams, and they got that slave mentality. And it’s like, ‘This is my team. You do what the fuck I tell y’all to do or we get rid of y’all.’

    “The players are who make the ship go. We make it go. Every Sunday, without Todd Gurley and without Odell Beckham, Jr. without those players, those guys, there is no football. And it’s the same in the NBA.”
    It wasn't going to last?

    We just need to reduce the "assistance". If you can be on all the welfare programs and make well above minimum wage and have a place to live why go to work?

    “I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed...that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.”

    ― Benjamin Franklin

    You can put every single TANF recipient to work and you still have a labor shortage. There aren’t many of them, and that’s not to ignore the fact that they can’t really all be put to work.

    A labor shortage all those millions of illiterate illegals can't fill

    Even our good old slave owning founding fathers recognized that slavery wasn't economically all that competitive. GW himself wondered how long the institution could last purely based on the underlying inefficiency. Without going into a ton of it it really boils down to motivation. It's really hard to force people to work for other people's benefits and not their own. This is also why socialismo continues it's poor track record. If you want to go into the tangent more I can but generally, slavery, the American institution of it, was quickly outpaced by free labor markets, automation, and free enterprise in the Norte.
    That actually makes sense.

    That's so interesting

    I still think we should focus on this Bradley Cooper situation
    I feel like you're making fun of me.
