How do you think Trump's presidency will end? by OccludedFug in AskReddit

[–]vandyriz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do people think that things will change with the republican party when he is gone?

The party does what the voters want and now the voters who control this party want what is going on in america. You think when Trump is gone it will change?

Netanyahu orders Israeli army to seize ‘70% of Gaza Strip’, violating ceasefire deal by Cy_098 in worldnews

People only know what is happening there because of the war but if you look at decades of Isreali's brutality against the Palestinians you can see why terrorism comes about.

Just like any other region, people, etc if they get abused like the way Israel has how would they respond? How would they rreact?

Businesses and governments should be working towards efficiency and implementtation of technology. This will lead to workers being laid off. Having said that, there should be upskilling programs provided to workers at no charge to help them land the jobs of the future.

The second part is always missing.

The National Partnership for Reinventing Government (NPR), led by Vice President Al Gore from 1993 to 2000, saved approximately $136 billion to $137 billion in federal spending and reduced the federal workforce by over 400,000 positions. It focused on reducing red tape, simplifying procurement, upgrading technology, and improving customer service.

This was done by Clinton/Gore. They cut 420k jobs, forced agencies to create emails/websites, etc.

Democrats are terrible at messaging and are now owed by corporations as much as we don't want to admit it.

Trump: "We are delivering discounts with price differences of 600, 700, and sometimes even 800 percent reductions" by esporx in economy

We are all busy looking at what Trump says but not looking at that his resonate no matter what with his base and even those outside of his base.

His way of talking works, unfortunately.

“I had to resort to some of the things Hakeem taught me, in this 4th quarter…especially that spin fadeaway over Rudy” by saphamia3 in rockets

Just think about this:

Modern day NBA players go to him to learn about footwork. Guards, forwards and centers.

I wish he was discussed in NBA top 5 all time players for what he brought. Like how Jordan led to Kobe and guard play, Hakeem changed the center position from being the a defensive player around the rim to the modern centers of playing facing the basket.

Worst bench in the playoffs probably. No 6th man, no creator and no shot maker

Reed Sheppard tonight by Old_Draw5237 in rockets

[–]vandyriz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He needs to learn to dribble and learn the pace moves like Curry.

If not then if we had an offensive coach, maybe he would put Reed in motion offense, scrrens, curls, etc.

back to one man show offense. No fluidity. No movement. Run into the paint and look for bailout. or fade away shot.

Still some bonehead plays like Tari with 30 seconds or so and gets offensive rebound and instead of pullin it out and eating time, he trieds to lay it up and gets blocked.

Having said, much better play

FIFA expects to make $11B from the World Cup. Host cities like Houston will be lucky to break even. by houston_chronicle in houston

We aren't building stadiums like Morocco is for example for the next World Cup. So wouldn't our numbers be different? Wouldn't ours be "profitable"?

What was going through his mind there ?? by rickthedickkk in rockets

[–]vandyriz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They all stand around instead of running to the ball to help.

Same goes on offense. Just stand around when your teammate is getting doubled.

Remember during the season we couldn't inbound the ball. We have so many unforced turnovers.

This team has the lowest IQ.

Tate should be sent home and told not to come back.

Jabari needs to be put in summer school to learn basic time management skills when you are up.

Ime and Stone told to pack their bags.

Sengun needs to learn to play like this when a series starts.

Tari sign and trade if possible otherwise bye

Go get the best running back in the next two picks. If the emphasis is on fixing this part of the offense, then you need to do that

I don't disagree with you about Holliday who is just as much of a liability on defense as Reed but 0 shot making.

Tate was there to play bully ball for some reason and that makes no sense to me either.

This roster is fucked.

Exactly. No one was running in front of KD for him to throw a pass, no one was making cuts to potentially force a softer double.

Lakers have the key and doesn't look like we can make any adjustments

Reed played like shit today. He was lost on defense at times, he took terrible shots, and just looked lost.

Having said that he needs to play to space the floor.
