    All they have to do to not repay the money is to have similar employment levels when the loan comes due. Obviously this greatly benefits companies that don't actually need the assistance, at the expense of those that do.

    This was all baked in. Democrats had them over a barrel and caved as usual. One side always seeks compromise the other side always refuses to compromise. Big surprise which side wins.

    We should set up a GoFundMe for the Lakers.

    I rejected it. Not that I “approve” of the post itself, but it really doesn't break any rules. It’s also pretty tame compared to what goes on about every half an hour in OT. Trash talk between fan bases is allowed.

    Don't worry, talking to yourself is a common result of being isolated for weeks.

    Especially isolated with kids.

    Even with the pension, I saw a story of former players hurting (a couple of years ago, could be different now).

    NBA players have one of the most generous pension plans out of all professional sports. They are vested into their pension plans after playing at least three seasons in the league. The minimum benefit for a player who retires at the age of 62 is $56,988 per year—not a bad retirement for a three-year career. The maximum benefit for any player is $195,000. It takes 11 years of NBA service to qualify for this benefit.


    But that's not all. NBA players are also eligible to participate in a league-sponsored 401(k). Do you think your 401(k) plan is good with a 50% matching policy? The NBA matches a player's contributions up to 140%.
