Teams don't get the ad money, though - networks do. They pay flat rates and take on risk in exchange for upside if ad revenues goes up. Unless...
So players want to be paid in full even if playoffs are cancelled (just deferring about $3MM per team by a year or two)? Regardless of fan...
Except they are, because a much larger portion of baseball money is local and based on fan attendance. They have more games and larger stadiums...
This is exactly it. Paying prorated amounts for games is reasonable if the revenues are pro-rated - but they aren't. TV revenues will be, but...
Except there's no comparative numbers with other years. The site itself says the reporting there doesn't use the same data as other reporting. I...
The links I gave broke it down by week. I used the first 19 weeks of each year for my data.
https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Weekly-Counts-of-Deaths-by-State-and-Select-Causes/muzy-jte6 You can download the table and add up the deaths for 2019...
Looking at the CDC data, this doesn't appear to be accurate at all. I see 1,458 pneumonia & flu deaths this year. During the same period in...

This is the biggest thing I've learned from watching all of this - just a sheer lack of empathy and ability to understand other perspectives...
On a side note, there's also lots of issues with polling on this topic. Here's a great in-depth Kaiser poll on M4A (and Public Option):...
Right - but the Presidential election doesn't just consist of Democratic voters.
Public option is what Biden and Pete and others support, and what you have railed on them for not supporting M4A. Public option is very different...
Keep in mind that when we say "total cases", it really means "cases confirmed with testing", which we know was lacking badly in March/April. So...
BINGO. That's why the premise of this entire thread is stupid. Nonsense. We always have the alternative to ban cars, if we are not willing to...
This is great - and the kind of information we should be using more of. Not "how many people are you willing to let die to help the economy?"...
