Jasper Philipsen needs to be disqualified from the Tour. Yet again pulls a dirty maneuver and nearly slams Wout van Aert into the barriers. He and his manager basically said on Netflix they will keep doing this & don‘t care if they kill someone. It‘s time to teach them a lesson.
@autosport
I think there’s a good chance Lewis or Michael wins WDC in this scenario, especially after Senna and Prost take points off each other.
But Senna-Prost wins WCC. No question,
Guys,
Can we stop attacking Jude because he wasn‘t in the „best wishes, Marco!“ video?
Jesus. There are tons of ex-teammates of Marco who aren’t in this video but I‘m sure respect the hell out of him.
It‘s a crime that Jonas isn‘t recognized by the masses far more than he is.
The career of one of the absolutely greatest and most talented athletes of all time is unfolding in front of us, and almost no one talks about it.
I‘ll always remember this Tour, my first I‘ve been to in person (first of many), for two things:
1) Biniam Girmay‘s run of stage wins and likely winning the Green Jersey. This is probably the best thing that has ever happened to Cycling.
2) This.

Still love him. Still my favorite player. Still cheering him on in Madrid.

I will never understand those of us who hate Jude.
The guy gave everything on the field and in training for us. He gave a lot more and fought harder for the crest than most who we give our adulation.
An argument that those of us on the left-liberal, pro-welfare state side of things should start making is that high wealth concentration in the hands of a smaller portion of the population asymptotically approaches a central planning scenario, and redistribution opens the market.

You just know that the Serb fans were itching to come on here after the match with a really unhinged rant ranging from revenge for the 90s for not letting them do multiple genocides to „beating the blacks“ to proposing another invasion of Kosovo to celebrate.
I don‘t know who this is, but they need to stop trying to co-opt the official Georgist Twitter Emoji. It‘s ours- and we haven‘t done three years of hard work on this site for someone to just take it without a fight!

I remember Alonso‘s comments at the time were shockingly awful. Something along the lines of, „Well, this is what he gets for the way he acts.“
Freedom is apparently when masses of people whose lives could be saved by gun control laws must instead die so that Dean Cain can obtain an automatic rifle with zero inconvenience whatsoever imposed on him in doing so by gun control laws.

This angle actually puts more responsibility on Max than I originally thought he had.
I initially though that Lewis had carried too much speed and ambition in at that angle, but it seems to me like Lewis was actually slowing way down to make the corner and that Max was….
@Lhinternat
@SpannersReady
Yeah, uh, no. You‘ve missed the last five races, apparently.
Max isn‘t miles above any other driver. Everything Max is showing now, Lewis has shown time and again. Max has an edge in single lap pace, but Lewis is still quicker over a long-run and manages tires better.

F1 is in serious danger of doing what NASCAR did with its rising popularity in the 90s, which is abandoning traditional tracks that provide for the best racing in order to target big markets with template tracks. (In NASCAR it was 1.5 mile D-shaped intermediates, in F1 it‘s…

I don’t think McLaren has been necessarily telling DR that his seat for next year is secure. Brown publicly spoke about break clauses in his contract; you don‘t really do that if the message you are intending to convey is that his seat is secure for next year.

This is just wrong. Mercedes were having massive issues with tire management in this race. Red Bull clearly had the faster car on the day over race runs.
If Biden doesn‘t win SC and get some life back in his campaign, then I will 100% vote for Sanders in the NC Primary.
I have SERIOUS issues with his platform & with a large subset of his supporters. I cannot emphasize that point enough. But Bloomberg is an authoritarian monster.
Peace in the Middle East simply won’t happen until:

This is just simply not true. He‘s a 10 in a 4-4-2 diamond or 4-2-2-2 who makes runs into the box. It’s plain as day to see on the field. He has a little less defensive responsibility than at Dortmund, but still does more defensive work than many guys who are used as 8s.

Also, Jesus Fucking Christ, Sean;
Have you ever heard something called „short-selling?“
Let me give you a hint; it‘s how quite a few- and almost exclusively- rich people made a lot of money today. While working people‘s pensions got shitkicked.
No.
Mitigating climate change with carbon tax or cap & trade isn‘t about socializing the MOP. It‘s about asserting that the natural world on which capitalism exists (and the only one we know of) belongs to everyone & should be preserved for the posterity of future generations.
There is little genuine "call for climate action." What there is instead a call for the adoption & implementation of an anti-west, anti-capitalist collectivist ethos. Do you love the planet, or do you hate capitalists? And which would you prioritize, if push came to shove?

Max‘s race today was basically what Lewis did in Brazil last year. Came from 10th with a new PU. Similar margin of victory.
The difference is Lewis overtook his way through the field. Max had a clever strategy that he executed.

Total federal income tax paid by these companies last year: $0
Hot Take:
State/Local publicly funded incentive packages that have been popular for decades have been one of the greatest rentier cons in the economic history of the United States. This institution has needed to be destroyed by federal law for a very long time.
If you have a smaller and smaller portion of the population controlling more & more wealth, you are essentially centralizing capital allocation decisions; rather than having many investors making these decisions with less concentration, such that market forces take over.
@amal_shura
Lewis clearly had the momentum to get alongside, and in fact he was alongside on track before he went into the grass and actually attempted to avoid the collision.
Clearly Rosberg‘s fault. He was obligated to give space and deliberately chopped down on him.

This is why IMO the correct approach for now I to go universal Medicare Part A combined with an aggressive spending package to build supply- especially on the hospital side.
The most imperative thing in health reform is getting universal hospital access and control of costs.
What‘s really critical for Georgists and non-Georgists to understand is that George was far more of a pragmatist than many Georgists- as well as some of his strongest-worded statements- would convey.

That‘s why Max is able to outqualify someone like Checo, an accomplished and well-respected driver, by over half a second on a regular basis. He can handle a car in its fastest theoretical settings better than Checo can. It‘s what makes he and Lewis a level above everyone else.
@amal_shura
Lewis is also great for Leclerc because he‘s a mentor figure that he‘s never had. There‘s clearly a lot of respect between the two, and I can see both Lewis willing to mentor him and Leclerc willing to listen.

Even if it‘s not everything Arafat wanted, he should have taken the deal. It was good enough, and it would have give Barak- with whom he had the best chance of getting a Palestinian state- a chance to win re-election.
Instead he rejected it and got Ariel Sharon.
It‘s not a question of how high landlords should be able to raise rent. It‘s a question of whether or not landlords should be able to privately capture land rents at all. They shouldn‘t; it should be taxed away, with landlords‘ paying a penalty for holding out for higher rent.

If Sainz had the iron will of Rosberg to beat a superior teammate through sheer volume of work and giving up is entire personal life, I think he would have a chance. But he doesn‘t, and he’s only beating Leclerc if the latter has ridiculous luck and falls into a depression.

The reason they don’t hack it at the main team is because they don‘t have the skill to drive an oversteery car that Max does. You want to design and set up a car with as much oversteer as a driver can manage because it means easier rotation and ability to set the car up for…

Because land is created by no one and needed by everyone, and it’s therefore immoral for anyone to exclude the rewards accruing time it.
Equities and financial products at least entail someone creating and taking on a risk, which creates value.
And you‘re wrong. The only thing we need to rewrite trade agreements to do is to have even freer trade. Free trade makes a bigger welfare state and more public development spending possible.
I stand proudly with labor unions, environmental organizations and family farmers against Trump’s NAFTA 2.0.
In my view, we must rewrite our disastrous trade agreements to end the outsourcing of American jobs, combat climate change, and stop the destructive race to the bottom.

Singapore also provides robust public housing that 80% of the cities residents live in. It‘s a lot easier for people to not fall into drug addiction on the street if they can afford their home- but I‘m guessing you‘re not going to be in favor of this level of public housing.
People are scandalized that I advocated harsh punishments for criminals like in Singapore
My critics are right. Much better to be tolerant of drugs and crime so that every American city looks like a post apocalyptic wasteland. This is working out great!

Lewis beat George‘s pace most of the time this year. Early in the year when Lewis was doing experimental setups for the team was the only time he wasn‘t ahead. The rest of the year Lewis was pretty comfortably ahead in quali & race pace and has rinsed Russell since about Canada.
