October 11, 20195 yr They're using social justice to get more money. Plain and simple they negotiated poorly and can only blame themselves because they agreed to it. Quote U.S. Women’s Soccer Team Court Filings Show Pay for Top Players U.S. Soccer Federation says top women were paid more than men; U.S. women say that’s because they played and won more By Rachel Bachman Updated Oct. 7, 2019 4:15 pm ET The U.S. Soccer Federation, defending itself against a gender discrimination suit from the U.S. women’s soccer team, last week submitted court filings asserting that four U.S. women’s national team players were paid more than the highest-earning player on the U.S. men’s team over a period of about six years. On Monday, the women’s team responded in a filing that says there’s a reason for that: The women played many more games than the men and won more, including prevailing in two World Cups. The men reached the round of 16 in the 2014 World Cup and failed to qualify for 2018. Though comparisons are difficult because the men’s and women’s teams play under different collective-bargaining agreements, the filings provide the most detailed assertions yet of how top women’s players’ pay lines up with their male counterparts. Four U.S. women’s players—Carli Lloyd, Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe and Becky Sauerbrunn—each earned a total of $1.1 million- $1.2 million for their national-team play between March 30, 2014, and Sept. 30, 2019, according to U.S. Soccer’s filings. By comparison, the income of the single men’s national team player who earned the most in the aggregate during the 2014-19 period was $993,967, according to U.S. Soccer. The women’s filings countered that each of the four women’s players named in U.S. Soccer’s filings would have earned at least $2.5 million more over nearly six years if they had achieved their team’s same results under the U.S. men’s team’s compensation policy. In a declaration for the court, Becca Roux, executive director of the U.S. women’s players’ association, summarized the U.S. women’s greater tallies of games and victories and how they translated to pay. From Jan. 1, 2017-October 7, 2019, the U.S. women won 83% of their games while the men won 48% of their games. The women played 58 matches while the men played 44, the declaration says. For matches played between March 30, 2014 and Oct. 7, 2019, Morgan’s pay under the women’s collective-bargaining agreements, for instance, was $1,201,449.64, according to Roux’s calculation. If Morgan had posted the same results under the men’s team’s collective-bargaining agreements, she would have been paid $4,104,920.65, the declaration said. That includes prize money for winning two World Cups. Molly Levinson, a spokeswoman for the U.S. women’s players, called the results of the comparison “the very definition of gender discrimination.” U.S. Soccer has said that the women agreed to their current collective-bargaining agreement, which runs 2017-2021, and that any pay differences between the men’s and women’s teams are due not to gender but to the teams’ separate agreements. A round of mediation talks failed in August. If the case isn’t resolved out of court it’s scheduled to go to trial May 5, 2020. https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-womens-soccer-team-court-filings-show-pay-for-top-players-11570465837
October 16, 20195 yr ^ Some people believe that the earth is flat, that biology doesn't exist, that science is "mean"... Same story all over again, for them "ignorance is strength", that's 1984 at its best: Spoiler
October 16, 20195 yr https://www.parents.com/parenting/my-transgender-child-this-is-how-i-know/ These people don't know the first thing about child psychology and they project their views on their kids There's plenty wrong with that. Spoiler
October 16, 20195 yr Cooking food with natural ingredients is healthier (it strongly reduces the sugar/bad fat content), it tastes a lot better and and it's really cheaper (people don't realize how cheaper it is compared to processed crap food). And if you have a freezer, it doesn't take much more time!

Reveal hidden contents How come you don't hear about any redneck tranny kids? The educational agencies for some states have curriculum for LGBT things for Pre K-12 grades. Gotta indoctrinate the kids to normalize LGBT agenda. Idiots love catering to a very very small percentage of the total population.
October 17, 20195 yr ^ for a lot of these politicians/agencies/bureaucrats, it's a snobbish thing. They use this trans stuff now, because it's the new trend, but what's really behind is groupthink and the need to look good in front of their fancy peers. Their goal is to assert their belonging to a snobbish class, but most of them don't even believe in what they say. They just catch the wind and align with it.
October 17, 20195 yr I've been reading a book on the history of the Republic of Venice. Very interesting. The way the political system evolved and in the end failed is very interesting. Bureaucracy played a very important role and there are a lot to learn from their history. Just like the history of Florence (who tested nearly all the possible types of regimes). Globally, the history of all Italian states is interesting and there are much to learn from it about societies and social interactions.
