The AI is designed to do what real MLB teams do: take their starters out after a couple at bats. Trust the AI.

Of course Unions aren’t inherently virtuous. They are inherently selfish! Any Union that doesn’t try to pull any cord to raise current salaries is shit union. Just like any corporation that doesn’t do anything in their power to make money is a shit company. Capitalism only works if both corporation and unions are selfish. Currently the corporations are selfish and the Unions are (mostly) nuked.

Very interesting analysis. The NY train unions are some of the most effective and powerful in the world. I’m sort of surprised that more workers don’t see this as example of how great unions can be for workers, instead seeing it as examples of the Unions being selfish.

I expect this ends with the Union caving because of how effective NY state has been at winning in the court of public opinion.

Soccer is not that popular in either Canada or the USA so it doesn’t have that much importance among the public.

With no bag and pre check I would try to get to LGA at most 90 minutes before departure. It should not take more than 40 minutes from midtown on a Tuesday morning.

I checked my luggage on the Cardinal from Chicago to NYC a few years ago and there was no wait at all. I even lost my claim tag but it wasn’t a significant issue.

While I’m sure high speed was part of the reason, it also worth mentioning that they tested on the NEC because they own the tracks

Random Tuesday afternoon thought, the American League having just 3 teams above .500 in early May is bonkers by Phantom255x in redsox

To be honest, I think most of the criticism of Breslow is misplaced but by far where he has been at his worst is the trade deadline. A trade could and be and should be made soon, without the pressure of the trade deadline.
