This was very clear and understandable to the rest of us, Sweets was just being a dingus.

The visiting team has won the first five NBA playoff games in the second round. Has that ever happened before?

Yes, but that six actually included the Warriors Game 7 win the the FIRST round.

The streak was actually extended by one more game last night, with the scrappy Knicks coming from behind to take down the defending champion Celtics again.

However, it came to and end in Oklahoma City, as the Thunder rolled past the Nuggets by 43. I'm looking for the Thunder to win their first championship and SGA to be the second MVP from Canada.

I was told there would be no math, can I speak with the manager about this

But that was arithmetic, not math.

I'm all for unions and using your collective power for leverage…but this is a road to far for me

maybe I'm missing something, but going on strike because the company wants you to wear a black shirt under your green apron doesn't seem like something worth striking for

Starbucks said it would give two free black T-shirts to each employee when it announced the new dress code.
I mean the staff doesn't even have to pay for the shirts

The second part of that sentence seems to negate the first part

Possibly you could see that, on brand
I guess we could say I used to be all for… but now I have exceptions which make All for*
but I’m curious do you support this action?

Sure, why not, who cares. Maybe the shirts are itchy. Maybe none of the 2,000 baristas can pull off a black shirt.  Maybe they just want to hold onto one small bit of their own identify during their day to day.

Whatever the reason I know a) I'm not a barista so it's not my place to say, b) I don't go to Starbucks anyway so it's no skin off my back and c) id back pretty much any worker action over a corporation like Starbucks.

Well you can’t argue with that logic….

In 2 years, or less, Jiffy Lube Live, will be a data center. The land, it sits on, is worth more to Amazon, which is now across the street, than as a music venue. So much more; like a fuck ton more. The entire place is now surrounded by data centers, anyway,  and let's face it . . . the only people who go to Nissan now are living memories of shows at Shiley Acres.

I am definitely in the c camp as well, but I feel like if you’re gonna do a fucking strike
Don’t have it over a shirt
Jesus Christ at least do it over healthcare, pay, overtime, harassment, wage theft and a long list of things to go to the picket line

I mean only 10% of the bucks have unions
I feel an act like this just makes it sound like you’re not serious and will hurt enrollment

Corporations are people too!!!!
