    RSL also plays in America First Field! At the RioT! (Rio Tinto) It’s a trifecta of evil. Just waiting for petro-state dollars for the next contract.

    Nationwide Insurance, not Nationwide Children’s Hospital, is the shirt sponsor for the Crew.

    Nationwide Children Hospital is a non-profit.

    I think in most civilized countries the barbaric and predatory nature of the US healthcare system is a lot more obvious.

    Sutter Health, the organization I work for, is a nonprofit and also a jersey sponsor, for Bay FC in the NWSL. Which I only know because they gave us free jerseys a few months ago as a token of their appreciation. Most people in my office said no thanks and gave them back.:D

    My middle daughter has spent way too much time at NCH, we owe her life to the care she received there. When the Crew won the title in 2020, Nationwide Insurance had just taken over sponsorship and put Nationwide Children's Hospital on the front of the shirts. I bought one for everyone in my family.

    Now, the name on the shirts is Nationwide Insurance.

    FYI, the connection is a $50M donation to the hospital from the insurance giant. They were Children's Hospital before the donation.

    Sutter Health was also the jersey sponsor for the Earthquakes for one season. At the time, we considered it an upgrade from the previous shirt sponsor, Amway. The shirt sponsor now is some tech company nobody has heard of ("Intermedia") - I mean, at least people have heard of Paypal, the stadium name sponsor.

    It looks like the GOP is entertaining cuts to health care to pay to extend the Trump tax cuts. So in that instance, who is responsible? The Health Care CEOs or Congress?

    It will be important to know who deserves to be assassinated more when somebody's loved one dies because they were denied health care.

    Still the CEOs but hey if the GOP Congress wants to volunteer as tribune, remember what our Lord and savior Grimes said:

    Don't stop your enemy from doing something stupid.

    I remain convinced that the unabated 40+ years of CEO worship is going to be a problem. Biden may have been the most successful left wing President (How he'll be judged as a general President is a different matter), but I think if hard left types gave him credit we get a different story.

    Even though I never voted for Bernie in the primary, his views on CEOs and his relative popularity since 2016 are popular for a reason.

    I deleted a post that was all pissed off about how NY better charge their next school shooter with terrorism, ergo 1st degree murder, since kids in school are MORE numerous and MORE vulnerable than adults, both kids and adults being subjected to the shock and attention and intimidation, safety being threatened, necessary to tack on terrorism to a murder charge.

    I'm not entirely sure NY has not done this, hence deletion. But by God adult victims better not be more equal than kids. That would be righteously fvcked up.

    Mangione already was charged with murder in the Dec. 4 killing, but the terror allegation is new. Under New York law, such a charge can be brought when an alleged crime is “intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, influence the policies of a unit of government by intimidation or coercion and affect the conduct of a unit of government by murder, assassination or kidnapping.”

    “This was a frightening, well-planned, targeted murder that was intended to cause shock and attention and intimidation,” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said at a news conference Tuesday. “It occurred in one of the most bustling parts of our city, threatened the safety of local residents and tourists alike, commuters and businesspeople just starting out on their day.”​

    They have to bring up the terrorism charges because how else do they justify spending millions on a murder case when 50% of NYC murders go unsolved?

    Yep that's a thing too. However they got there, though, they are gonna be in a world of shit if they now refrain from throwing the whole book in a mass-casualty situation.

    They charged the Buffalo shooter with terrorism. Adam's is trying to get a pardon from Trump so I am sure he is kissing the ring. Bragg has been a disappointment and I don't know what he is thinking outside of taking care of the people that donate to his campaign

    Turns out, that was misreported. It was a 2nd Grade teacher.

    Huh, some tiktoker pointed out that NYC police commissioner Jessica Tisch is the daughter of billionaire CEO James Tisch. I checked it out and it's true.
