Lol I just commented about him actually on my Betts post and keeping politics out of sports. He is a prime example of that as he personally is a huge and close friend of Putin. But you don't see that on the ice instead all you see is the pure skill

Agreed its huge that he stood tall and like the arrival mentioned he is the only African American player on their roster right now who will be there.

Since you mentioned Jordan one of my favorite things about him is how unfiltered and honest he had been. For instance he grew up as a kid where it was the white man keeping you down. Now he grew, learned, and overcame that bias but I mean he has admitted to hating white people for being white before.

Like you said politics has its place and as someone who works on the hill nothing grinds my gears more than having politics brought up in every facet of my life. To me sports are just a true free place for me.

Honestly something people have overlooked for years now is how Ovi, Captain of the freaking Washington DC Capitals is a die-hard Putin supporter. Given everything that has happened I'm amazed no one ever brings it up given this is politics USA here but 🤷🏼‍♂️

The only only reason I could see it was if the President himself made some comment about the player and it was well-known. Then ya know you were personally attacked but that's the best I could come up with

Absolutely threw me for a loop to be honest!

Microsoft did this years and years ago in the North Sea. An issue with the idea is that it warms the water pretty dramatically and the environmental damage is quite yet understood. There are a couple of pilot projects in the US doing this still with smaller companies

This project is a data center not a AI supercomputer and until the metrics come out it still might not be in the same league as Arura and El Capitan

There is a pretty sizeable community of conservatives there! Also he made a ton of inroads with young voters this last election. Whole Republican party did

He lost most of his endorsements and if the league suspends him without pay it wipes out the rest. I'm also going to go out on a limb and say he probably is an idiot with money as well so no telling what he truly has. He has the opportunity to make hundreds of millions but brands don't want to be associated with an idiot and a gun

I have heard a ton of reasons that are across the spectrum… I think personally he's doing this so people don't flipout even more at him. China is pissed and causing issues with the whole deal and I know a number of companies have been exploring a bid but something of TikToks size and success is going to be really expensive and those types of things take time and resources and 75 days isn't enough.

I hope to see some sort of announcement of a couple specific groups being in close negotiations and the government vetting those because there will be monopoly lawsuits I am sure

I mean I get it I just don't see how he ends up “winning” this. The League isn't going to play about this because the optics of him being such an idiot with a gun hurt them and the players union…. Well players are getting hella paid right now so it kinda like why mess up a good thing

Ugh I'm sorry you have a person that bought into it…. Its just mind-blowing to me how absolutely terrible this guy was at trying to do this… I mean it was so terrible and poorly executed id be embarrassed if I was him for the sheer stupidity that occurrd

Ofc its two of the biggest clowns when it comes to btc and blockchain in Congress… Both of these Members (Sen. Warren and Rep. Waters) completely failed when they were in power to do anything in the space and now that they are sidelined… with Members of their own party bucking them and voting with Republicans mind you… they just lash out again.

Not by any means defending Trumps crypto… business I guess you call it?? But these two people were top Members of Congress and had the ability to act and didn't.

How are your friends there?! I thought of you when I posted about it right when it came out!

The freaking Biden SEC was going to go after them and they pulled out to prevent getting tangled in that mess

So it turns out it was talked about in the Feb company earnings call. This does follow the letter to shareholders in Nov about Block dialing back its investment in Tidal and TBD (its decentralized web project)

Ya know I had completely forgotten about this! They were designed for everyday people right or were they aimed at the whole farm idea?

I'm not sure the world could actually have a big US recession without other countries being affected. We consume way to much and so if our demand goes away its going to domino effect I would think…
