Ok. Baseball players do have it worst than most American workers. I still believe workers are Amazon, Walmart, etc should receive higher wages based on the profits those companies are reporting. So why isn't someone going to your company to make $20,000 more? Because y'all aren't unionized. We need a massive shift to unions to bring back the middle class.

Couldn't the owner of your company pay you $20,000 more and still make a killing?

I think it's time we look at these companies and start forcing all of them to pay better. We're worried about guys getting only $600,000. How about we start there but look at the Walmarts, Amazons, and other companies paying shit wages? We need a surge of unions to start rebuilding a middle class.

How many of us are working for companies that are making too much money and should be paying their employees more?

How many facilities can you name in the Ukraine? I could think of one and it fell to them.

Or those talks happen faster under a mediator. We will never know which path would have been faster, which path would have helped the owners or players. Here's an interesting twist. The players could have asked for one after about two weeks of the owners doing nothing.

Really? One side never bothered to counter? I wonder if a mediator would have helped this along?

So later will you support the players? Go to games? Watch them in TV? Maybe buy a jersey or cap?

I hope we're funding them. And unleashing our hacker army to undermine war support

It was decommissioned over twenty years ago and most equipment removed. It's mostly symbolic.

Yellowstone and Grand Teton are amazing. The colors of the pools in Yellowstone defy description. I love the hike to Grizzly Lake. Yellowstone crowds are all within a half mile of a road.

Many. Thurston's Lobster Pound. Whale watching. Bike trails in Acadia. Skoodic Peninsula. Bay of Fundy. The LL Bean factory stores. Blueberry ice cream. Walking across to the island across from Bar Harbor. Driving Mt Desert Island's harbor towns. Thunder Hole. Sand Beach. One of our lol memories is there is a gas station and camping store on the way to Acadia that has a really good lobster dinner. Basically aluminum foil over cardboard with everything dumped on it.

Thank you. At this point no fight, just waiting. Leukemia just kind of lurks until it wants to play.

Gotcha. At first I thought you believed the players tossed out a final offer and anything less was caving. I'm good with this taking as long as necessary. The players shouldn't feel any pressure to start the season.

Cool idea.

So anything less than everything they asked for? You don't think they asked for more than they expected to leave room to negotiate? No meeting in the middle?

I don't think anyone does. Pessimistically I believe people vote with their pocketbooks and will gladly sacrifice Ukraine independence for cheap heat. I hope I'm wrong.

I'm not certain at what point caving would look like. Is getting half of what they are asking for caving? 25%?

While Europe will be buying the more expensive Texas gas. Will Germans be happy paying more for energy after being so close to cheaper gas from Russia?

Would you limit leadoffs after the 3rd move? How do you avoid that basically becoming a free stolen base?

Even if they settled on the last proposal it would be a "win" for the players just not nearly as much as they are asking for and less than what many believe is fair. Some people believe that the opening position by the players was the most fair and that any retreat from that is a loss for the players. I don't believe the union expected to get everything but made an offer that put all the points on the table. I'm on the fence between wanting a shorter term CBA and do this more often with smaller movements each time that would presumably be easier to negotiate and implement and not wanting to be debating the business side of the game every couple years.

Let's just hope they never want Alyeska back.

There will always be played overpaid and underpaid. Players accept ten year contracts. Some will have better than expected years and be underpaid at any price. Eliminate gauranteed contracts and pay players weekly by performance to eliminate under or over paid situations.

Pretty much the same reason we took swift action when Russian put troops and missiles in Cuba.

I like all of those.
