Important clarification: dugout box is the highest season ticket price point listed. Those eight recliners are another thing entirely.
Since many of you have been a little skeptical about the price for Washington Nationals dugout box season tickets, here’s the info:

For only $6,560 you can get the full 2019 season plan! That’s less than $81 per game!

Payment plans are available!

Plus, 2019 season ticket holders receive exclusive access to 2018 postseason tickets at a discount!

Which is incredibly optimistic at this point in the season, but I’m rooting for you!
I can’t even imagine what it’s like to have season ticket money.

That must be magical.

Serving in law enforcement is a dangerous and important job.

However.

This article omits important information, thereby implying that law enforcement is somehow becoming an increasingly dangerous job.
That doesn’t appear to be the case.

2017 saw 129 officer fatalities. There have only been four years since 1959 that had fewer fatalities.

The average from 2002 to 2016 was 159. 2018, so far, has seen 144.
There were 5,147 fatal work injuries in the United States in 2017. By far, the most common cause was transportation incidents, which accounted for 2,077 (40%) of deaths.

In 2018, 50 officers died in traffic-related incidents. 52 officers died in firearms-related incidents.

I talked to a guy yesterday who voted for Beto on the first day of early voting. He’s voted straight ticket democrat in Texas for 40 years, and he said “it just drives me crazy when people don’t vote. That’s how we got in this mess.”
And I told him sure, but after a few weeks in mostly low-income neighborhoods around Dallas, I’ll never complain about people not voting again. Because that assumes people don’t vote out of laziness. Or apathy.

And that could not be more innacurate.
People don’t vote in America, because we’ve allowed America to become a country without a voting culture. Voting is not for everyone. Voting is not who we are.

Voter suppression is often incremental, but the results are immediate, and passed down to future generations.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how Boomers bullied Gen X into the political apathy of the nineties, and how it allowed them stack the deck in their favor for a generation.
Boomers called Xers lazy, spoiled, and selfish while pushing this myth of the American taxpayer. “I’m a tax-payer,” they sneered, like some stereotypical 1950s husband acting like they’re the head of America’s household because they bring home the paycheck.
In 1972, half of 18-24 year-olds voted. By 1996, it was 32%.

For the 1994 midterms, it was less than 20%.

This idea that a higher income, and subsequently paying more taxes, gives you more right or responsibility to be involved in politics is offensive. And dangerous af.

I write about pogroms a lot. The consequences of hatred, its sudden spread & disastrous effects fascinate me, in a grim way. That said, it's easy to distance yourself from some of ancient outbreaks of xenophobia - until their remnants are placed in front of you... THREAD /1
Most historians agree that the Bubonic Plague arrived in Europe from the east in 1348. The version taught in schools is that vessels from Caffa in modern Ukraine brought it via flea-bitten rats to Genoa, Italy. We all know how deadly it was. /2
While the Bubonic Plague was merciless in who it killed, the disease claimed other victims, even without infection. While some blamed God for the pestilence, others found scapegoats closer to earth. One significant target were European Jews. /3

I like this heuristic, and have a few which are similar in intent to it:
Hiring efficiency:

How long does it take, measured from initial expression of interest through offer of employment signed, for a typical candidate cold inbounding to the company?

What is the *theoretical minimum* for *any* candidate?
How long does it take, as a developer newly hired at the company:

* To get a fully credentialed machine issued to you
* To get a fully functional development environment on that machine which could push code to production immediately
* To solo ship one material quanta of work

How to Overcome Your Fear of Selling Yourself, Your Products or Your Services

For some reason a lot of people FEAR selling. Yet selling is an essential life skill.

It will give you money, help you create massive wealth, get you highly placed friends, get you anything you want.
So why are people deathly afraid of selling?

Here's my theory. people do just fine with communication but once it gets to the point where they have to ask for money, their minds blocks stemming from childhood kick in making them drop the ball.

And to avoid ever asking, they...
simply do not even bother to sell at all. When you were young, I bet you were taught not to take money from strangers, to run if they offered you some. While that advice was great for the purpose, it's also created an image in out heads that makes us associate asking for money...

After sleeping on this, I’ve unearthed a couple of salient points.this Op-Ed-as I said-is actually a more brilliant piece of writing than anyone has noticed. It’s incredibly hard to write with this much precision on a topic about which you ultimately divulge no information.
This is also a verifiable masterpiece of spinning language, worthy of its own Pulitzer Prize. You’ve noticed how the Democrats echo each other. Here’s “kids in cages” to refresh your memory but there are a thousand loops of this-all the same. They have 0 creativity changing words
That’s what makes this @nytopinion so astounding. It repeats every BS narrative of the last two years without using any of the same language. To tell you hard that is: imagine making a Land Rover without using any of the original parts, but making it even better.

Leeds United’s 2016/17 financial results covered a season when they finished 7th in the Championship under former head coach Garry Monk, thus just missing out on the play-offs #LUFC
2016/17 also saw Massimo Cellino’s three-year reign come to an end, as fellow Italian Andrea Radrizzani first bought a 50% stake in December 2016 before taking 100% ownership in May 2017. He reportedly paid £45m to acquire #LUFC.
#LUFC reported a £1m profit, around £10m better than the previous season’s £8.9m loss, mainly due to £6.1m increase in profit on player sales to £8.9m, though revenue also rose £4m (13%) to £34.1m.
