The Presidency of the Joes: more like INFRASTRUCTURE WEAK

[Marksman]

I have no idea what you are trying to convey with this.

[MysteryConman]

I thought it was fairly clear, but since it is not, I won’t belabor the point.

[Basic]

At least 9 people disagreed. Maybe it’s you who wasn’t clear?

[MysteryConman]

Which is why I conceded that it wasn’t clear.

It is basically impossible to comprehend how rich these assholes are.

Jeff Bezos has like $200 billion. A single billion dollars is an absurd amount of money, well beyond what any one person should ever have. Your garden variety private equity asshole with a couple billion dollars has like a full time family office, jets, staff galore, and lives a truly unimaginable lifestyle. It really isn’t possible to spend more than a few billion dollars in a lifetime. He has A HUNDRED FUCKING TIMES THAT MUCH.

I don’t really have expensive tastes and am for the most part I’m pretty happy with what I’ve got, but one thing that I’d love is to own an professional sports team. So I could blow through a billion easy. Ideally I’d have an NFL team, an NBA team, and an EPL team. How much do I need to buy all of that and still not have to worry because I Jerry Jonesed them into the ground (which absolutely what I’d do)?

[CaffeineNeeded]

I want it on record that was a joke… but I was confused nonetheless.

Depends on (a) whether you want a particular team or just any team and (b) if you want to own 100% of the team, or just enough to be the majority shareholder, but you’re probably looking at a sticker price of between 10 and 15 billion for full ownership.

[Riverman]

Bezos could buy every NFL team and have $100 billion (Buffett’s net worth) left over.

I need enough money that I can be the GM, run the team however the fuck I please, and be accountable to no one. I assume 51% would cut it, but I don’t know who would want to be a co-owner with me under those conditions, so I’d likely need 100%.

And since we’re in fantasyland, definitely specific teams (not just any team).

[Riverman]

This is basically what Dan Snyder did. Due to him being an insufferable asshole, he will probably get a huge discount on the remaining 49%.

[MysteryConman]

IIRC, Al Davis was able to basically get full control of the Raiders with less than 50% ownership stake.

Well, I’d like to think I’d do a better job than he does, but I’m sure running a team well is hard AF.

[Riverman]

While this is true, it required massive scumbaggery.

[Riverman]

If they trip over their dicks on this, gg. He’s saying the right things though.

Schumer says 'everything is on the table' to pass voting rights legislation...

[NotBruceZ]

I’ll believe everything is on the table when I see him punch Mitch McConnell in the face on the Senate floor.

[microbet]

Those are still Trump’s cops. Give President Bartlet a chance.

If one senator killed another could they still vote while on trial?
