Whether It’s Biden or Someone Else, Gaza Remains Top Priority for “Uncommitted” Voters
  • Didn’t really bury it because I don’t agree with that analysis and it’s not part of the poll.

    If they’re polling similar to him with 39%-71% of the people not knowing who the candidate is that means their floor is where Biden is.

  • Whether It’s Biden or Someone Else, Gaza Remains Top Priority for “Uncommitted” Voters
  • The post-debate Data for Progress poll tested the odds of eight Democrats who have been floated as possible alternatives to Biden, including Vice President Kamala Harris and multiple Democratic governors. Biden’s self-proclaimed advantage is tempered by the lack of name recognition — so far — for the other options. Aside from Harris, prospective voters were so unfamiliar with these Democratic leaders that between 39 and 71 percent* *of respondents said they hadn’t heard enough about them to have an opinion. Even so, each potential candidate performed the same or even better than Biden.

    From this article and Link to the poll

  • China has declared that all rare earth mineral deposits within the country now belong to the state. China controls 60% of global rare earth mineral reserves and accounts for 90% of production globally
  • The fact that the government recognized the issue and stepped in to take control of the industry in order to prevent issues is a win compared to how things are allowed to just burn out and fail potentially causing larger issues in for the economy in other countries.

    Most countries wouldnt be able to say no to capital and it would meant the resources would continue to cheaply get extracted at the expense of the long term health of the counties industry.

  • So what’s your issue here?

    If prices are falling low enough that it’s causing financial issues for some of these companies that would tell you that there’s too much supply relative to demand so you’d obviously slow production. By your own post you’re saying it’s so the refineries can stay in business, that would mean the price is too low for it to be economically viable.

    If you let things continue eventually one would go bankrupt if they don’t slow production so one way or another the supply would come down.

    Pacers to Sign James Wiseman
  • They need a backup for Turner so it’s a low risk move depending on how much the contact is. Maybe he lives up to some of the potential and if not it’s just a 2-year deal that I’m guessing is pretty cheap.

    Biden Administration to Announce First National Heat Protections for Workers
  • The proposed regulation from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration would for the first time require employers to monitor workers and provide rest areas and water when the heat index reaches 80 degrees or higher. Employers would also be required to establish heat safety plans. The rule could apply to about 35 million Americans who work both indoors and outdoors, senior administration officials said in a call with reporters on Monday.

    Looks like it’ll be handled as OSHA regulations so that should actually get implemented, great to see since it’s only going to get hotter.

    Klay signs with Mavs
  • Will be interesting to see who they gave up since it’s a sign and trade.

    Edit:

    Seems it’s a 3-team deal

    Josh Green is being traded to the Charlotte Hornets in the Klay deal.

    Edit: Actually sounds like as it’s constructed them sending out Josh Green means they can just sign him outright so Warriors aren’t involved at the moment.

    A strange twist to the emerging details about Klay Thompson's intention to sign in Dallas: The Warriors haven't agreed to any Klay Thompson sign-and-trade at this point, per team sources. It could still happen, but more negotiation and finalization would still be needed if the Warriors are to be part of it. - Anthony Slater

    The Mavericks could sign him straight up without the Warriors help.

  • Paul George, 76ers Agree to 4-Year, $212M Contract After Clippers Exit
  • Definitely risky especially towards the end of the deal but 76ers kinda had to pull the trigger on someone this offseason with Maxey’s contract and PG was definitely the best available. He also wasn’t going to take less than 4 years otherwise it sounds like he would’ve stayed with the Clippers.

    It Would Take 'Star Level Player' for LeBron to Take Pay Cut
  • Players can always sign for the minimum and it would help free up space for team building but I’m sure the star players figure why should they be the ones taking the pay cut versus the role players to make a competitive team. Although I agree that once you’ve made enough I’m surprised more older stars don’t take a slight cut to compete better.

  • Mavericks trading Tim Hardaway Jr. to Pistons
  • The three second-round picks headed to Detroit are Toronto's 2025, a 2028 pick that is the less favorable of the Clippers or Charlotte, and Miami's 2028.

    Also frees up space for them to re-sign Derrick Jones jr.
