  1. Supposedly Klein tried to take Johnson with him to aggy. That didn't happen then, not sure what's changed that would make it happen now.
  2. You wish that Surly lose half of its posters?
  3. You mean like when Aetna saw the light from the uproar support for this killing and about faced on their plan to fuck customers by not paying for the anesthesia for the duration of the surgery? Don't want to have to pay for protection? Don't be an assholes fucking over people so that you can enjoy your million dollar bonus.
  4. Nothing is going to change except doubling down on the bullshit, see Nov election as evidence. Social services will continue to get taken awhile, or it'll be privatized so that cronies will make gazillions fleecing the dipshits who voted them in. But hey, incite some social war against 2% of the population and you can fleece dipshits every 4 years.
  5. I used GM in this example but a shitton of companies on the Fortune 500 do the same exact shit.
  6. GM has been having layoffs all throughout the 2nd half of this year. Last I check, over 2000 (probably closer to 3-4000) people were laid off. They'll have more layoffs next year. They spent $10B last year and $6B this year (June) for stock buybacks. Was that the best use of their capital? Best use for whom, their customers and employees or for the shareholders and the execs and their bonuses? Is that ethical? Is that wrong? Tie that decision and this country's insistence on tying health insurance to employment, and then having the leaders of those health insurance companies myopic drive for profit so that they can get their million dollar bonuses while fucking over their customers, it prob is ethically wrong. But yay capitalism run amuck.
  7. https://www.asahq.org/about-asa/newsroom/news-releases/2024/11/anthem-blue-cross-blue-shield-will-not-pay-complete-duration-of-anesthesia-for-surgical-procedures This dude is prob now in someone's list.
  8. I'm always curious to see the list of names of the must gets and who we think we will get versus a year later, the final list of who signs.
  9. Hate starting new threads but didn't see where this would fit. I torn my ACL watching this clip. When did they start penalizing downfield blocking below the waist? Doesn't matter because It was prob 50-60 years too late. Also, I guess trench coats and fedoras were a thing.
  10. We can argue shitheads at APD and the shithead homeless until the apocalypse. The true losers in all of this are the tax paying citizens of Austin. The system is broken. But agreed that the court system shouldn't allow the absolute shit of the homeless to repeatedly go through the revolving doors of the court system. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/police-union-says-apd-should-stop-responding-to-mental-health-calls-after-officers-sentence/ Police union says APD should ‘stop responding to mental health calls’ after officer’s sentence AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Austin Police Association released a statement Wednesday, the day after a judge sentenced Christopher Taylor to two years in prison on a deadly conduct charge, calling on officers to stop responding to mental health calls. Austin police officer sentenced to 2 years in prison Taylor’s sentence stems from the 2019 police shooting of Mauris DeSilva. Police responded to 911 calls reporting DeSilva walking around his downtown condo complex with a knife to his throat. When police confronted DeSilva outside of an elevator in a common area of the complex, they told him to drop the knife, and Taylor and another officer ultimately shot and killed him. As of Wednesday, Taylor is no longer employed by APD. He’s out of jail on an appellate bond. Michael Bullock, president of the Austin Police Association (APA), released a video statement following the outcome of the trial. You can watch the video in the player at the top of this story. “In light of all of this, I believe the Austin Police Department must stop responding to mental health calls,” he said. “We have never claimed to be mental health experts, yet we are continually scrutinized for our handling of these situations. Now that we’re left with the options of being stabbed or going to prison, Travis County and the District Attorney’s Office should be the ones to incur the risk.”
  11. They ran off Gabriel so that this scrub could sit bench and transfer. Brent is the gift which keeps on giving.
  12. With the exception of the minute possibility of Terry, are we done?
  13. Him: Why was my claim denied? UH: Pre-existing condition. Him: What pre-existing condition? UH: Aging. You were gonna die anyway.
  14. Just imagine the mass suicides if aggy ever became self aware.
  15. so you don't like the friends you met along the way?
  16. With this shot, the class wars begin...
  17. Quite the offer list. Is Elko just looking for a warm body? This is akin to picking up the most available fat chick as the bar is closing at 2AM. https://n.rivals.com/content/athletes/eli-morcos-297745?view=pv
