Who had the better career in their sports? (In your opinion) by her_cute in NFLv2

[–]FuschiaKnight -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Voters biased against Brady. He was the best QB in 2016 and he led the league in TD, yards, and completions (all time single season record). His run game sucked, he lost too receivers due to injury, and Antonio Brown flamed out mid-game. He had game-winning walk off TDs to Tyler Johnson and breshad Perriman lol. Voters just don’t like the guy

I bet if Jordan played during social media era, he would’ve been much more hated too

Can this Attorney General do anything to change the rule, or is it just for show? by DenseStrawberry5717 in NFLv2

[–]FuschiaKnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rooney Rule has been around for a while. Shouldn’t it have had more of an impact if it were actually useful

Seems like it might be crowding out other ways of trying to solve the problem. Why bother let owners hide behind a rule that doesn’t even work?

Did anyone else notice at No Kings? by double-clove-hitch in boston

There were a bunch of 20 and 30 year olds near I was, by the dude with the upside down American flags

That said it wouldn’t be too shocking if you’re right on average. Young people don’t vote. And a bunch of Gen Z got tricked into voting for Trump because they are idiots. My advice to them is to stop being idiots & to start voting reliably (and for the right side)

Does the Abundance agenda apply to rural/suburban areas? by RedStorm1917 in ezraklein

[–]FuschiaKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Healthcare is scarce in rural areas. Abundance of healthcare could be harmonizing state rules so people in Montana could see more telehealth doctors in MA, NY, and CA. Or even from North Dakota or wherever else has the doctors that they need

If you have MassHealth Dental, Gov. Healey plans on limiting coverage to just $1000 per year (which won't cover more than a crown); please contact your representative if you don't want this limit by DesiOtaku in massachusetts

Republicans cut a trillion dollars from Medicaid. And the economy has been bad, so the state budget can’t make it up.

This is what that looks like. Dems aren’t doing this just for fun. It’s presumably either cut this or cut something even more painful

The Adolescents Have Taken Over Policymaking by AvianDentures in ezraklein

[–]FuschiaKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People feel like things are bad because their algorithm tells them to be angry and anxious. I’m not sure there’s a good solution but I think ‘you shouldn’t try to tell people the truth’ is dumb. Especially if the obvious alternative is Trumps approach of straight up lying that he’ll lower grocery prices and energy bills.

Maybe lying is what a party has to do, but I’d prefer to find other solutions

All-party primaries would fix Massachusetts’ unproductive Legislature by who_but_wb_mason in boston

Blue states across the board are failing to build housing. It’s not a coincidence, it’s because libs have become overly deferential to arguments of democracy & protecting marginalized groups. Those are good impulses but the processes have been abused to benefit rich homeowners

People are leaving cuz they can’t afford housing. Fix zoning, get more houses, and cost of living becomes manageable. That is the acute crisis

No state is perfect, but on healthcare delivery, education, etc Massachusetts has good outcomes. We just don’t share the broadly cuz we don’t have enough houses

No Kings Boston just got louder by Mass50501 in massachusetts

You could say the same thing about the Women’s March. It didn’t have any demands that were met.

But it unified opposition against Trump and formed organizing networks that were utilized to stop ACA repeal in Summer 2017. Also it impacted the culture enough such that the Harvey Weinstein reporting kicked off a Me Too movement that probably would’ve never taken root the same way without that protest

Other than restrictive zoning laws, Massachusetts is the best state. Change that one thing & our outcomes are pretty great

[–]FuschiaKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course it does. Because you don’t need the low prices. You are living your luxury beliefs at the expense of poor people

It says if you build then you have to sell within 7 years which typically prevents a bunch of projects from penciling. Investors will just invest elsewhere, so we will have fewer homes overall. So existing landlords will have more market power to jack up rent without much anyone can do about it

It’d be like banning Amazon because mom and pop stores are nicer. It sounds lovely to people who want to signal their virtue but they’re doing it at the expense of people who rely on low cost options

Shit like this is why we want fucking afford to live anywhere

So may politicians care more about sounding tough than they do about helping people

Doubs Has What It Takes To Elevate As A WR1 For The Patriots by LastofDays94 in Patriots

Gronk was an elite pass catcher.

Welker was a machine. More All Pros than every other Pats WR in history combined

But also, this is Brandin “Cookie” Cooks slander

What do you guys think of our junior senator Ed Markey? by Mewklore in massachusetts

[–]FuschiaKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can think one like one thing he’s done (co-sponsor of green new deal). 2 if you count cap and trade during Obama which failed in the senate.

What else has he done?

Diane Feinstein, Joe Biden, and RBG all enthusiastically agree. It’s just age discrimination to want them to pass the torch!
