This is so brazenly another attempt to force women out of the workforce.
RFK Jr: "All of the ingenuity of corporate America has not produced an infant formula that is superior in nutrition and all the qualities that we want to the infant formula that God made, which is the infant formula in a mother's breast."

CJ Abrams is six gallons of talent in a five-pound bag. There's still offense to unlock there, in a guy who's only 25 and has three years of team control left. If (as is the rumor) he's available, #Cubs should be lighting up #Nationals' phone lines. northsidebaseball.com/news-rumors/...

It's pretty galling that the NWSL will *always* tout any example of unprecedented growth, no matter how insignificant or narrowly defined, and then say the revenue growth expectations needed here have no precedent.
As things stand now, the NWSL isn’t fighting for Trinity Rodman. It’s fighting against her, and shadowboxing with its own potential in the process.

NWSL said it would fight for Trinity Rodman. It’s only fighting with itself
One way or the other, the league will set a precedent with Rodman. The NWSL has the power to choose what that looks like.

Harry Ford spoke on a Zoom earlier this morning. Said the trade “hit him pretty hard,” but added he’s looking forward to building with the young Nats roster.

The better question:
Are there things the Nats did that made him worse than his stats appear to be and can other teams correct those to maximize the elite underlying talent?

Harry Ford just met with reporters over Zoom. Was legitimately stunned by trade, loved Mariners org, but is looking forward to opportunity with similarly young Nats. He's currently in Oxford, England (where his father lives), says he plays to again play for Great Britain in WBC.

Harry Ford, who enters the system as the No. 2 prospect per @mlbpipeline.com, says on a Zoom call he already knows a handful of current Nats players: James Wood, Brady House, Dylan Crews and Daylen Lile.
Also, he joined the call from Oxford, England, where he's visiting family.

Excellent, excellent thread.
My parents were free-wheeling Boomers convinced things were only ever going to get better, financially. They had good reason, then. They could afford a house, car, and weekly nights out on two full time assistant manager jobs at a fast food chain. But they also got caught up in emulating wealth trap
