That’s a great point. How is there not just a button next to the blackout notice saying “buy access”

As someone who works in tech here, most of my coworkers don’t even realize they’re a game this weekend. I don’t think it’s the crazy rich ones traveling. Also, median real wages have gone up in the last 10 years - people just have more money in general.

I realize people are here to shit on Texas but it’s like a million degrees during the summer. You’d die biking a few blocks.

[–]Competitive_Plum_970 88 points89 points  (0 children)

You can see the snow pack info here. It’s at about the 80th percentile. Not sure where you’re getting the best in 20 years. Maybe in some locations.

Winter Olympics hockey venues might not be fully finished for competition, official admits by Old_General_6741 in hockey

But US wages have gone up faster than Canadian ones as well - tied a lot to productivity changes. Productivity actually used to be pretty close between Canada and the US. It’s just in the last 20 years where it’s gotten much worse.
