  • Except that’s not the gamble. Imagine a game of rock-paper-scissors with extreme stakes. Bets can be placed on whatever either player is going to throw and everyone can see the bets. Then, before this one player goes, there’s always a massive amounts of bets for whatever they’re about to throw. Without fail. Now, everyone knows there’s obvious rigging going on, but the actual game is still being played. The player who keeps giving out info on what they’re going to throw is going to start losing, and hard, since it’s so obvious what’s about to happen.

    That’s the gamble that they’re taking, that the info would be too hard to disseminate in order to predict their next move. It’s utter idiocy. Especially when this idiots are making it so fucking obvious what they’re doing.












  • I’m kind of annoyed that the labor union sponsored strike last Friday which was two weeks in the making got almost no air, but was extremely successful. And now a student strike at the U of M with very little momentum with labor unions is getting national attention.

    I know that one is the cause of the other, but it sure makes it feel like this next strike is going to fall flat on its face and rob the whole tactic of its power. I really want to be wrong, and want nothing but for this to work, but you really need buy-in in order to shutdown businesses and get the actual impact you need.

    10% of labor striking across all industries will be impactful, but 10% of businesses closing due to a strike is outright devastating. And without labor union buy-in, I don’t think the latter is likely.



  • I’ve watched that video so many times, I don’t want to do it again, but I’m pretty sure this is accurate. Grey coat removes the gun from Alex, and as he’s walking away there’s a muzzle flash and the first shot can be heard. Then the rest of the shots all come a second or so later. The angle from the street where you can see Grey coat run away has the clearest view of it.

    Oh and it wasn’t an accident. Motherfucker had gun training, he put his finger inside the trigger guard, he intended to discharge that weapon. You don’t get an oopsie poopsie for that.
