    Contract tracing isn't worth much when 1) About 30% of the population won't engage in it, 2) Tests are taking 5-6 days to come back with results and 3) There are not nearly enough contact tracers to handle the number of positive results people are getting.

    If you're having kids "Spread out" by doubling the number of classrooms, where are you going to get double the number of teachers?

    Whomever the guy is who replaces Braun's spot in Left Field has to be worth at least 1/3 of Braun's WAR every year due to him not spraining an ankle.

    Feel your pain, my friend. I've read you need a better fitting mask - one that covers the top part tightly so your breath doesn't escape upwards. I had the same problem until I got a mask with a wire built in to go over the top of the nose. Pinching that tight when I wear it has cut the fog down immensely.

    The percentages don't matter as it is how you view everything. The reason why both are self-centered is because you are thinking this is the right way that is why it is self-centered. No matter the outcome and no matter the reason you put behind it, it is still self-centered. You believe what you are doing is right while the person not wearing the mask is thinking they are doing what is right. Basically you are being self-centered because you only see your side of the view and not the other persons view. So, if someone stands on their porch and shoots a gun off into the air, not caring where the bullets may land - they are self centered. If I choose not to do that, I'm also self centered, because I don't understand that other persons point of view? Come on.

    Giannis was not outspoken. Giannis said it made him "uncomfortable" publicly. Jason Kidd proceeded to leak what Giannis said in a private conversation to the media. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2755824-giannis-antetokounmpo-says-jason-kidd-firing-made-him-feel-uncomfortable

    That's the entire point. Not testing for weed doesn't mean a company has to tolerate people showing up to work baked out of their minds. Just because someone enjoys having a gummy and listening to the Grateful Dead on their Friday nights shouldn't deny them employment, the same way that if someone enjoys getting drunk at Miller Park shouldn't.

    It's not like the Brewers very recently had a top prospect almost kicked out of baseball because he was self medicating with marijuana to prevent seizures or anything.

    The weed not being addictive thing has pretty much been debunked....people can be addicted. Anecdotally, I know more people that NEED weed than alcohol. The difference is that it doesn't affect their lives and personal relationships as much. Why? So their insurance premiums can skyrocket? Can you imagine someone driving a forklift with weed in their system? Obese individuals hurt business profitability and rob from their coworkers by raising premiums. Same for smokers, since it costs 5-6 times more to insure a smoker. A huge amount of workers could put themselves and their employers at greater risk, hence why drug testing is required. As a teacher, if I'm suspected of being intoxicated or under the influence, I will be terminated on the spot and my union won't defend me. This goes for most types of jobs in the US. Can you imagine someone being drunk on the job and driving a fork lift? Oh the humanity. What happens with insurance premiums with those huge risks? This idea that "If we don't test for weed, everyone can just smoke pot at work" is a ridiculous strawman.

    Or, you know, businesses could move beyond the "marijuana bad" boogeyman from the 1960's and get with the times.

    It's almost.... almost... as if paying people to work full time less than $2500 a month might be a systematic problem.

    Do you exhale in the grocery store? Cuz that's the entire point of wearing a mask. When you exhale a huge portion of your little germ bubbles get caught by the mask and aren't left to hang in the air for the next person to walk through.

    A lot of states are doing this. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/05/covid-19-tests-combine-virginia/611620/ Whether or not it's a bad practice depends on what one is trying to understand from the data. Testing more isn't bad. Testing more and then saying "Look, less people are testing positive by percentage!" is using data to convey an inappropriate and untruthful message.

    Two things. 1. I don't think anyone is saying that Giannis wants to leave. But if he feels the Bucks can't win a championship with the team they've built - he might consider making a move. 2. I think a lot of this is simply people making money -- float ideas and stories and so forth to get clicks. It works. The amount of Anthony Davis stories last year was ridiculous. And the LeBron ones the year before. Let's face it - California is a way bigger market than Milwaukee, and it gets clicks and views and sells papers to push the narrative of Giannis coming out there. You'll see the same thing coming from NY and Miami and wherever as well. There hasn't been a single Anthony Davis story this year though, and he is a FREE AGENT THIS SUMMER.

    The larger group is saying the Brewers made a mistake with their first communication by not immediately and very clearly offering refunds to ticket holders for cancelled games. Something they changed less than 48 hours later. Someone else is stating that the Brewers made no mistake, that they didn't change their policy at all because internally they had a completely different secret policy than the one they communicated publicly.

    Put it this way... not getting an extra 2-3 years was a killer, especially with the revolving door some years. Yuni as the primary 1B? Mark Reynolds? Chris Carter? I really thought Hart moving to 1B would work.... then his knees didn't cooperate.

    Rickie might be my 2nd favorite Brewer of all-time. He had a monstrous peak. From '07 to '11 he was one of the 50 best players in baseball. Rickie's biggest problem was he couldn't stay healthy, between the wrist issues early in his career to the awful ankle injury in 2011. He never seemed right after rushing back for the playoffs that season.

    They've had 6 weeks to come up with a plan. Their plan is, "We're not going to do anything, but we'll offer you 10% extra for a product you may never be able to utilize." That simply is not acceptable. How in the world would you suggest they formulate a plan in a situation that is constantly fluid? They already know they won't be playing 162 games. They already know that the April games aren't being played. Their initial solution to those two facts was "We'll give you a credit. No refunds." It took less than 24 hours for them to change that.
