Its really absurd that the Cubs don't run away with the division every year with the amount of money they have in a division of some of the smallest markets in baseball
Milwaukee and Cincinnati are the two smallest markets in baseball, Pirates and Cards are in the bottom 7. There is literally no way you can spin this as not being extremely favorable to the Cubs
I think I know why Bryant’s first name starts with an E.
Cooper Miller
Why would you count markets that do not have baseball teams? That has literally nothing to do with what it means to be a small market team in the MLB. How do the numbers you post suggest they are not in fact small market?
Also, keep in mind that the original statement was "Its really absurd that the Cubs don't run away with the division every year with the amount of money they have in a division of some of the smallest markets in baseball". So even if in fact St. Louis is technically a small-mid market team it would not make that statement untrue. Does any other mega market team like Chicago have such consistently small markets as competition?

POINT - COUNTER POINT The balls are juiced, but only for the Brewers since the MLB wants to expand their small market teams in which case for Wisconsin the Packers are collapsing giving baseball a chance to be the top spot in the state.

No, I am saying the mechanisms of government preventing one section from overreaching is a sign of functioning government not corruption. The cases in Illinois are not this, they are examples of deep ingrained corruption that only minorly punishes a few f the participants after the fact. Punishing an individual is not the same as systems preventing the corruption from happening in the first place

Jose Cooper
first of all, this is not in the scope of the governors job. Second Wisconsin is extremely geographically segregated, almost all of the black populations live under different police jurisdictions of white people nearby
There is literally no reason to think that Walker told the state's cops to target black people or to let white people off the hook. The fact is, the black people that moved up to Wisconsin came extremely poor thanks to generations of Jim Crow in their previous home, and have done little to improve their lot since arriving (not helped by decades of socialist rule in Milwaukee during the 1900s, which only kept the poor poor and encouraged the affluent to leave the city), this has led to wildly higher crime rates than their white neighbors

Ayden Harris
They're both conservatives, conservatism is authoritarianism at its heart, it's only a matter of if the government works in the best interest of the rich, or is directly controlled by the rich.
Also you didn't listen to the call and get the context of it. Walker was talking to someone pretending to be David Koch and basically acted as a subordinate to the guy. To just about any other person, it would have been one of the biggest humiliations ever, both because they didn't vet him and he spilled all his plans including how he was going to stab the democrats in the back.
Caleb Thompson
>There is no reason Except for the arrest rate and funding prisons more than education.
>They're both conservatives, conservatism is authoritarianism at its heart, The Kochs are very anti-authoritarianism, they represent the anti-Trump libertarian leaning part of the party, the one that has almost no influence in the party these days. Its really funny that the Kochs are some all powerful boogeyman controlling everything to democrats when in fact all of this money hasn't helped them steer the republican party even remotely in the direction they would like, instead seeing the party collapse in to populist religious authoritarian bullshit
Lincoln Nelson
Funding prisons more than universities is racist? I'm don't support Walker, but your arguments are ridiculous and keep pulling me into defending something I don't even like. What does the funding level of prisons even have to do with education? They are two completely unrelated things

Andrew Evans
Let's not mince worse, Libertarians are authoritarians, just they want themselves to be in full control of the government and leave everyone else to fend for themselves or force people to be beholden t the corporation the wealthy run. Which, to be honest, is hard to say if that would be better or worse than the dictatorship the Republican party wants to implement on America. The only thing Trump ended up doing is foiling the Koch Liberty Amendment coup against the United States. But that doesn't mean they haven't been getting everything else handed to them on a silver platter. They're just mad because they don't own the politicians, which is a principle requirement of libertarians to control the agenda to benefit them.
When you fund a system of punishment over a system of opportunity, and then use it against minorities, what would you call it?
>Let's not mince worse, Libertarians are authoritarians um, what? They are literally the exact opposite of that
Julian Jones
I'm becoming more retarded reading these monstrosities lel
Evan White
You're confusing authoritarians with a dictatorship or fascism then. And to be fair, the latter two are what the Republican base want America to become.
Libertarians like the Koch want 'limited' government that they themselves control through their wealth. And then draw up laws that only the poor would break out of desperation given their situation. >In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread. That sort of false quality where the power rests completely with the rich is an oligarchy and is authoritarianism..
Dominic Fisher
Thats an absurd way to spin things. Authoritarians want the government to be more powerful and control more things while taking more of the people's money and spending more while libertarians want to limit the scope of government. Muh evil corporations isn't an argument
Ayden Gutierrez
umm no golly gee josh I think you're both wrong :D I think everyone on the polticial spectrum is one of the same and stands for the same thing :D
Oliver Fisher
i think both sides are retarded
Michael Howard
Just because you shrink the government doesn't mean it loses its power or something else doesn't replacement it. Also the fact you're trying to declare the corporation can't be a government is prove you know that's the case and are trying to head it off into desperation. Look at the power and influence Walmart and amazon wield. Or how Koch industries have been able to hold the country back in actual innovation in green energy because they want to have the country remain on dirty fuel so they can make profits.
>All sides are bad You're the absolute worse. >I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection. - Martin Luther King Jr

>Actually it is if said company has influence over the government, or in the case of libertarians, take over the rolls of government Libertarian philosophy wants to limit the role and scope of government.

All you've done is said that business takes over what the government is doing by relegating the duty to corporations. which gives said power to the corporations. Trying to frame it as benevolence doesn't make it any less malevolent when you apply reality to it.

Without proper government oversight, monopolies happen naturally, this idea that competition or disruptiors just happen are a myth. Furthermore, your idea of letting corporations exploit the people, which is what happens when they're left unchecked, is no different than what colonial powers did in exploting other countires. Here's proof. India had a 23% share of World GDP when British arrived, when the British left it was down to 2.4% and their literally was only at 12%.
One lies, about what they're doing, the other actually wants to attempt to help. That's a big difference.
Tyler Cook
>Without proper government oversight, monopolies happen naturally, Not usually, usually it is government oversight encouraging monopolies Competition is definitely not a myth, its the very thing that drove the capitalist west to prosperity >is no different than what colonial powers did in exploting other countires Actually those were explicit legally mandated monopolies, the exact opposite of what I am advocating for > India had a 23% share of World GDP when British arrived, when the British left it was down to 2.4% and their literally was only at 12% Well thats a bit misleading because that period saw extreme economic growth in America and parts of Europe, remember capitalism creates wealth that doesn't make other's poorer so even if India stayed exactly the same in that period their share of the global GDP would have dropped precipitously without them losing anything. (but again, this is an example of government intervention and monopoly, not in any way an example supporting your stance)
Ayden Gutierrez
>One lies, about what they're doing, the other actually wants to attempt to help. That's a big difference. Neither want to help, both lie constantly
Nathan Green
Sorry I had no idea
Isaac Wright
Wrong, it's lack of proper oversight and control that lead to monopolies. Look at the break up of AT&T in 1982 and how they've reconsolidated. A strong government would have blocked that from happening and encouraged competition as opposed to protecting companies. You're pretending you don't want monopolies by pushing for the myth about corporations and the free market. Also you're trying to push the weasel tactic claiming it was just world GDP dropping when it was the British empire that drained India of its wealth and resources. Look at how pitiful the UK has become without its colonies to leach off of if you need proof that was the only reason it was powerful in the past. By exploiting people and workers, it's the main reason a corporation will reach the top to wield control. Which is the type of government you want, one of false equality under the lie that everyone has an equal chance when real chances are only afforded to the rich and well connected.
