MLB putting out propaganda to convince fans who don’t understand fairly basic accounting and finance that the owners are the ones actually giving up more in their proposals.
And it’s working.

This doesn't look fishy at all. VPD keeps job open for outgoing Chief of Staff of ex-Mayor Ken Sim, the cop mayor.
In other places you can't jump straight from govt to a corp or body you've just been regulating, but not here in the #vanpoli wild west

Ford has also pressured elected officials with false information, lied under oath about it, and then dismissed concerns as: "The sausage gets made in an unflattering way"
Why did you hire this guy? @VPDChiefRai

Outgoing Mayor’s Chief of Staff Lands Job at VPD
City Coun. Lucy Maloney, one of three incumbent councillors re-elected to council in last month’s municipal election, told The Tyee she was surprised by Ford’s hiring given the former ABC-dominated council’s close relationship with the police department.
“I think the optics of the VPD receiving a very large amount of funding from the city council while Trevor Ford had so much influence, and then Trevor Ford being given a job, I think that it’s troublesome.

Proposed Minimum Salary Increases:
- MLBPA: From 780K to 1.5M
- MLB: From 780K to 900K (Up to 1.0M for +2 Service Time)
Remember this when someone tries to tell you that the MLBPA only cares about the stars. The owners care about nobody but themselves.

bf was telling me about adam grant’s classification of three kinds of friends: allies (common goals), pals (masti friends) and companions (emotional support) - and i realised most of my friendships fail because i expect companionship from people who see themselves as just pals

This reminds me of a great piece of advice from George Clooney:
“Just be their answer”
The interviewer needs an employee.
The casting director needs a star actor.
The girl is on a date bc she wants a boyfriend.
Just be their answer. KNOW you are it, act like it, and you will soon be it.
In a weird way, everybody is rooting for you. When you go to a job interview, the interviewer wants you to be amazing so they don’t have to look anymore. when you go on a date, the person wants to have an amazing date with you. If you make a piece of content, people want to see amazing pieces of content and they have no problem if it’s yours.
the instant you get into the mindset that people want you to do well, your entire world gets better. And you’ll be shocked to know this pattern keeps repeating in different areas of life.

This clown shouldn’t have been leader to begin with, the party had to screw over a grassroots candidate in 2022 to coronate him. Great piece on that here from @TheBreachMedia: breachmedia.ca/how-the-ndp-e…
