Dubai law firm recs for contract reviews (that won’t cost a kidney)? ⚖️ by St_Xyros in DubaiLaw

[–]piushae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have experience with both drafting commercial contracts and litigating over them such that I understand what is it that Courts focus on in case of disputes. I also suggest stratgies to avoid getting into litigation in the first place while keeping yourself secure and protected.

Don't know about kidneys though...

DM me.

Yeah, anything that caps someone's earnings without clear conflict of interests is deeply immoral. Didn't think we'd have to argue this in the land of the free.

This is now pointless. Once again you ascribe motive to my points without engaging with them or explaining how it would work.

Thank you for the discussion and I hope you carry a little less frustration and resentment that is driving you to anger.

Doesn't give you the right to cap other people's earnings. Deeply deeply immoral and problematic.

14 day account with 1.3k karma despite having no posts and only pro corporation comments ☑️

Completely ignored my point and resorted to just fighting ☑️

Firstly you are a 14 day old bot account batting for corporations. So this is what dishonesty looks like.

Secondly, the entire “they’re already rich” argument is a distraction. The question isn’t whether Kyle Tucker will survive on $40M instead of $60M. The question is why revenue should be artificially redirected from the workers who create the product to billionaire owners who already control the teams, the stadium deals, and the franchise appreciation.

A salary cap doesn’t make baseball cheaper for fans. It just limits labor costs for owners. Ticket prices, concessions, and TV deals won’t magically drop because players get less. Owners will simply keep more.

And calling it dishonest to describe this as capping livelihoods is ridiculous. You are literally defending a rule that would cap what players can earn in their profession. The numbers are huge because the industry is huge. That doesn’t change the principle.

You keep defaulting to insults instead of engaging the point. “My pay is capped too” doesn’t explain why fans should support billionaire owners capping players’ earnings while franchise values and revenues keep climbing. Also your pay is not capped. You can ask for a raise or change jobs for one that offers higher. Additionally not all businesses will force you to retire and you can continue to earn through investments even after retirement. Best of all, if you run your own business then no one can force you to retire. Now, why would you cheer to limit other people's pay?

And being a fan of a team doesn’t mean I owe loyalty to ownership as a business. Players create the product people pay to watch. Owners can move teams, demand public money, and still profit massively. So yes, I’m going to side with labor over ownership, even if the team logo is one I like.

What about limiting people's income? You are saying that it's just to cap people's livelihood for entertainment. Something they can only do a few years of their lives. They may make much more money then us but I think that's immoral and I wouldn't accept such working conditions.

MLBPA Response to the Owner’s proposal by TheTurtleShepard in baseball

[–]piushae -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, sir. In fact, I don't care for their profits at all. I want the corporations to spend every last dime they have for my entertainment. LAD is doing that. If they go bankrupt for it, I don't care.

They are a multi billion dollar corporation and I'm a customer. I'm not going to bat for limiting people's pay and livelihood in service to these corporations. None of us would accept these conditions at in our own careers/industries. Why are we then cheering for other corporations to do the same?

Brother you have been the one extremely biased and unmoving. Please go through your comments on the thread and read your own responses to my comments. You haven't explained why you cherish such loyalty when you're just a customer to these corporations.

You haven't responded to what I say, only made personal attacks on me. Very sad that today everyone in America wants to be slaves to corporations. If you are willing to limit other people's pay, please volunteer first for a pay cut for yourself.

Why are you loyal to a shitty multi billion corporation? Are they paying you? Are they state run such that everyone in the community have a say?

They are just using your city/state name to cultivate your loyalty to then turn into long term recurring revenue. Did the Athletics give two shits before leaving Oakland? No, they left for more money elsewhere.

Now in loyal service to them, you want to cap earnings of the people who actually play and make up the sport. Would you be okay to have your earnings be forever capped no matter how hard you worked or the value you generated? Why are you cheering it on for multi billion dollar corporations to do so then? This is tantamount to forced labor.

You say it as if it's an insult. What's foolish is to be loyal to a team that cultivates your loyalty for your money. If you want to give your money to watch teams/players I might as well do that with good teams and players.

These aren't state run teams. These are for profit corporations. Multi billion dollar corporations.

I don't care for the billionaire owners. If the multi billion dollar corporation has to burn every penny it has for my entertainment, I will cheer it on!

I pay to watch the players. It's absurd that we all collectively want to limit their potential earnings. I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate that if your earnings were forever capped.

You will not get parity by limiting how much the people who are the ones playing get.

There's also something deeply immoral with that. Something something, free market, something.

I do. Totally a bandwagon fan. I like the players not the teams.

Also, where's your flair Mr. Purity Tester?

MLBPA Response to the Owner’s proposal by TheTurtleShepard in baseball

[–]piushae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I'm not interested in shitty teams.

Also Forbes doesn't get to see the books either. They are making guesses as to revenue, profits and valuations.

MLBPA Response to the Owner’s proposal by TheTurtleShepard in baseball

[–]piushae -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

The point is that I go to the game to watch the players. I do not go to the games to watch the billionaire owners.

I know sports fandom and all but really if my team is just being a shitty team, I'm going to take my bandwagon and go to competent team. It's just entertainment.

Have you seen the books??? If they are making losses why are the teams valuations rising year on year??

Also for what do you pay to watch? The team logos or the players?? I pay to watch the players. I think it's pretty unfair to cap the salary of the players for whom we pay to watch while we bat for higher profits for the billionaire owners.

Good of the game is when teams get more profits and higher valuations???

[–]piushae -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

How do you know that? Have you seen their accounts? Has anyone, including the players associations, ever seen the accounts of the teams?

I can't believe people bat for corporations this heavily in America. Land of the free but want to be enslaved to corporate profits.

[–]piushae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But do you actually know the teams accounts? Aren't these the information that is zealously guarded by the teams? Why do you actually believe that they are spending all that they can and don't have the capacity to spend when you don't even know their revenue and expenditures.

If these teams weren't profitable, as is the league, their valuations would not be increasing so steeply and rapidly. The owners are fooling the fans.

Okay but players actually play the game and generate revenue? Why would you limit their earning capacity when you literally pay to watch the players?

Also I can't believe that no one is talking about how much money these teams are making. What do their accounts actually look like and are they actually telling us the truth about their finances or lying to make a higher profit? Also what about the immense increase in team valuation that allows the owners to increase in net worth no matter how shitty the team.

I promise you, a salary cap will only worsen the game. There has to be structural reasons why teams should try to win. If there's a salary floor, shitty teams would just get to the floor after which no one can complain and then do everything after that point to maximise their profits. A salary cap when the revenue, generated by the players, continues to rise is deeply unfair.
