WAY TO GO TIGER!!! 💪 💪 💪 🐯 🐯 🐯

He did it!

WoooOOoooOOOooooooooooo!

Tiger has battled back and has won the Masters!!! ✅

If you recall, a decade or so ago he had a little car accident on his property and it seamlessly transitioned to a media scandal about various ladies he was canoodling around with.

Infedility is wrong, but anyone who cares a lot that Tiger did it is pretty full of shit. (It's not like he was hurting anyone. Personal business between him and his wife. Don't worry about it.)

Then, he battled injuries.

Swing changes and injuries. Rinse and repeat.

Some people believed that Tiger was screwing around with his swing too often, and that this is why he wasn't regaining his old form.

I think, in retrospect, it wasn't known how injured he really was.

It reached a rock bottom where Tiger could hardly walk, but then he bit the bullet on a reconstructive back operation.

And now he's back!!!

Tiger and Brady and Federer all still getting it done. (Federer feels to be slipping though.)

I've already declared Tiger the GOAT, even without the comeback.

And anyone who doesn't put him there now is kidding themselves.

Tiger's peak is better and easily more dominant than Nicklaus', and his major count is at least close.

And he's probably gonna end up with 18 anyways, but even right now it's case closed.

If you had to pick someone for all the money, you know you'd take Tiger.

Lori Laughlin

I don't really get how this is a headline and a national investigation sort of thing.

Really it shouldn't even be a crime.

If I'm at a hotel and I slip someone a $20 bill for a room upgrade (I wouldn't, because I stay at Motel 6 and take what they give me, but suppose I do..), that's not a crime. Bribing someone isn't a crime.

I know, I know. "But they're taking another person's place, it's not fair."

Right, the issue is with the school. The issue is with the coaches who took money to pretend the kids were on the rowing team or whatever.

Fire the coaches, reputation hit to the school.

And in a sense the issue is with Lori too. (There's something vaguely lame and cheap about it. I'd feel weird if I did that to my kids, and ultimately I'd be doing them a disservice.) But not everything needs to be a crime.

It's possible for something to rub you the wrong way and to diminish how you should view someone, without believing that a crime occurred.

Who is the victim? You could say it's the theoretical person who would have been next in line. But this would assume that the school has some legal obligation to admit people "fairly" as you want them to.

Really they can admit anyone they want for whatever reasons they want.

(Or at least, they should be able to. In a normal and free world they'd be able to. I don't know for sure what weird laws may exist currently.)

And if the school wasn't good or appropriate in how they do it, it would undermine how good the school is and undermine what a degree from that school is ultimately worth.

There doesn't need to be a crime and an attitude of being victimized.

The Rich

The rich people who actually cause us problems are the mega rich.

Whether it's the Rothchilds (or even unknown people above them or amongst them), or the more worldly mega rich like corporations and interest groups who collude together to guide government policy..

These people, by way of violently imposed rules, actually have advantages and things tilted in their favor.

I think sometimes people intuitively kind of get that, but then take it out on the "sort of rich" class of people, who basically just worked hard and probably got a little lucky too.

And they have a lot of money. Who cares?

Robert Kraft is a decent example of this. (Granted, he's higher up the chain than Laughlin.)

Guy gets a happy ending at a massage parlor, and they throw his name thru the mud as tho he's affiliated with sex trafficking.

If you or me unwittingly went to that massage parlor, it wouldn't come back to bite us in the way it did to Kraft.

The snowflake warriors ❄️ believe that rich people (and often they're racist and it's more specifically about rich white people) have "privilege" in today's world.

But I don't know. It seems kind of the opposite.

Taking Kraft as an example, often there's way more reaction and problems given to them than there would be towards me and you doing the same type of thing.

Maybe they can absorb it and handle it okay and keep going. So it's easy to miss or not viscerally relate to any unfairness against them.

But feeling jealous of them, or not feeling a lot of empathy for them, doesn't technically change any of the Xs and Os or mean that there wasn't a tougher standard.
