That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Most (all?) of today's deals look like a sell-off of useful major leaguers to dump salary. A couple exceptions to that, I guess. Stafura is legit. Ballesteros is legit. But mostly--salary dumps today.

Reds are second worst in the NL in run scoring (Mets) and third worst in the NL in run prevention (Nationals and Rockies). Wondering if they will (or even can) make a trade. Not likely to get much back without trading someone big. What is the plan? Is there a plan?

What do I think about? What I think about is that scumbags like Max Miller get away with this shit every day and that multiple credible women have accused him. I'm just asking for basic right and wrong. Instead--I see no acknowledgement or remorse.

Rep. Max Miller: "These are incredibly serious criminal accusations. If these accusations were true, I would be in jail — I would be. My former wife would not have been offering to cook me dinner and inviting me to playgrounds. Think about that."

If I were the Tigers I would have waited another day to try to squeeze more. But I don’t hate it. And yes, the Tigers gave up but the Brewers and Braves and Cubs haven’t. The Rays, Yankees and Red Sox haven’t.
