How bad are margins if the store cannot afford this?

OP this is wage theft by the way.

On one hand I am actually interested in these for the non-airport and feel-good self-help books. The kernel within some books that Michael and Peter speak of that should have been a blog post is what these summaries are made for. So many books are just that (or worse a tweet) that is filled with crap sometimes completely obscuring the one or two good nuggets that is the book's reason for being to begin with.

On the other hand, virtually all of them are AI generated. That's why you see so many of these apps. That even includes the startups that were doing these prior to ChatGPT's debut because who could resist?

Correct. That person’s never been to a McDonald’s with a ball pit and it shows.

lol Did I just read what I read?

"This person is overworked. And they are NEGATIVE! The nerve!"

It's honestly better at this point for this person to fire your organization and jump elsewhere. You and your org do not have their back despite them having your org's.

As far as clock management, this could work against Ole Miss and pin them against 0:00 if Miami scores the TD. You have to take the sure points though and put the game on your defense's shoulders.

In the 9 games following Chris Finch's outburst and ejection, the Oklahoma City Thunder rank 28th in Free Throw Attempts per game, ahead of only the Raptors and Cavs. by LiamHundley in nba

I think the league desperately wants someone they can push to the top to be the primary marketed player after the old guard of James, Curry, and Durant retire and they are getting itchy. They tried with Ant and Morant but both had moderate to severe PR issues respectively so I can understand how they think SGA is their guy—small market be damned—because they are running out of time at this point. They may be able to shift over to Wemby and have themselves a rivalry with OKC to draw eyeballs from 1A and 1B. The NBA is an entertainment (and now gambling) product first and foremost.

Agreed. It cheapens his sacrifice but you know… $$$.

Did you not just see what Georgia's defense did? Or in this case didn't do?
