Justin Trudeau should use his emergency pandemic powers to redistribute McDavid and Draisaitl to organizations that aren’t run by total numbnuts, covered by reporters who insist that the buck-naked management is wearing Armani. Extreme times call for extreme measures
"People who don't think Duncan Keith is a good defenseman in 2021 probably don't think the Eagles are a great band in 2021 either!" -- Actual argument made by actual Oilers reporter
Edmonton sportswriter logic is absolutely wild. "You have to be willing to pay a dollar for a quarter because if you don't people will stop taking your calls"

"But I've been to Seattle and you can't buy anything but IPAs!" No, sorry, this is just abject nonsense
Of course, I suspect the real issue here is that for people for whom hating IPAs is a major part of their identity a taproom with 3 non-IPA taps is preferable to a taproom that has 6 IPAs out of 25
“We cannot enforce the statute as written because it would stop too much vote suppression and we *like* vote suppression” is almost literally the holding of Alito’s opinion
