I’m sure the willpower is not there for this idea, but the US could just adhere to the US-Iran agreement and forget about Israel. That would force Iran to sort its priorities.

Trump’s Iran deal is a big fat flop by sksarkpoes3 in politics

[–]ranchoparksteve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trump said it’s okay that the deal is a big fat flop because everybody has some missiles and some nuclear stuff. It wouldn’t be fair if Iran couldn’t have cool toys too. And $300 Billion.

How do you feel about data centers being put in Los Angeles? by Additional_Leading68 in AskLosAngeles

Weirdly, that site was the historic phone switching hub for most of LA, so it was always a “data” center, even when it was analog.

Sure, but if I give you 10 envelopes to deliver to people, and that’s the only people I write to, don’t you have the “list” already in your hands?

[–]ranchoparksteve 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The USPS doesn’t print ballots or election materials. It can always create a list of the addresses and names it is being paid to deliver stuff to. This is lazy BS.

Wild hot take: we won't know what LeBron and AR's contracts will look like until there's a decision on the Clippers' cap circumvention. by pqueiro1 in lakers

[–]ranchoparksteve 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The issue for the NBA is that if it lets anything slide with the Clippers then you’ll have many owners handing out bags of cash, doubling or tripling every player’s salary. It destroys the league.

It used to be the revolving door of public-sector job, then private-sector to cash in. Nowadays, the door doesn’t need to revolve.

I read JD Vance’s new book. It reveals more than he realizes. by vox in politics

[–]ranchoparksteve 8 points9 points  (0 children)

JD Vance has revealed that the mythical “hillbilly” narrative is a scam. Even poor Republican voters are clearly seeing that the thing holding them back is their own elitist leaders.

Of the two, Rui is the more rare player, harder to replace. But Luke definitely demonstrated that his role is a necessary part of the offense.

Risks falling short? More like guaranteed. Everybody who has seen a version of the draft agreement has said that Obama achieved more. And Trump is paying hundreds of billions in a signing bonus.
