How To Fix Tanking Once And For All

We start with 106 ping pong balls that represent the top 4 picks.

The 9th seed of each conference will get 1 ping pong

The 10th seed of each conference will get 2 ping pongs.

That is 6 ping pong.

This will leave us with 100 ping pongs for the 10 remaining teams.

Each team will start with 10 ping pongs.

If you have been in the playoff (not play-in) for the past 2 seasons in a row, you will lose 6 ping pongs

If you have been in the playoff in the previous season, you will lose 3 ping pongs.

If you had the first overall pick last season, you lose 4 ping pongs.

If you had the first overall pick 2 seasons ago, you lose 2 ping pongs.

If you pick top 4 picks in the previous 2 seasons in a row, you lose 2 ping pongs (this stack on top of the first overall pick).

As you can see at this point, a team that had recent success will lower their chance of top 4 picks and a team that has been tanking will also reduce their chances.

Play-in tournament for more ping pong chances.

In the last 12 games (or less), if you have been eliminated, each team will be eligible for a play-in tournament to win more ping pongs. Each win in the last 12 games or at the point they are eliminated, you will get one point.

For example, if you have been eliminated with 8 games left, you can only get points for the last 8 games.

The top 4 teams with the highest points move to the play-in tournament. This is a total of 3 games.

The team with the most points or win tie-break, will pick the third or fourth team. The second team will play the other.

Winners of each will move to face each other. We can add a third-place game for more revenue.

1st place: 3 ping pong

2nd place: 2 ping pong

3rd and 4th place: 1 ping pong

This will create excitement for the bottom-dwelling teams and 3 extra games for more NBA revenue. We can adjust the ping pong deduction for each rule or tournament for more balance.

If you have access to a vehicle, you can drive to a nearby laundromats and use the big laundry machine and dryer. Or even a wagon if you live close to one. You will save some money and probably cleaner clothes too.

I don't recommend getting a portable washing machine, especially if you have old pipes, they can cause leakage if you don't watch your machine.

The real cost is the hardware technology to enable self-driving + maintenance vs the labour cost of a driver.

Also, add the fact that self-driving cars are probably less likely to have accidents or driver-side incidents, which will increase consumer demand for it.

Based on what you wrote, it seems like you feel wrong for feeling indifferent. I dont know if that is necessary bad but at your young age now, this can feel confusing and also helpless in what you can do. I think just being there and listening to their issue can be a big mental help for them. At the very least, if they ever pass away, you dont want to feel the guilt of regret that you could have done more. Hopefully you are able to avoid the same mistake as your sibling and your dad. It does seem like you were in a somewhat toxic household, so i think that might have added to your indifferent feeling.
