#SacramentoKings last night's loss to the Bucks was pretty heartbreaking. They could have won that game, but a common trend of not closing out on the weak side left Middleton and Lopez open for dagger threes in the last four minutes. Some unusually poor decision making from Fox also didn't help, but that's a rarity in comparison to the D.
It's unlikely, but if this team could even play more respectable weak side defense--they could have a shot to go deep in the playoffs.
Short rant.
Southwest Air has cancelled ~70% of its flights in an epic meltdown this holiday season.
Remember, Southwest took $3.7B in federal aid from 2020-21.
It’s CEO got a pay raise to a $9.1M package in 2022.
Yet Southwest employees are working 16 hour shifts & threatened w/termination if they refuse overtime or call in sick.
Socialism for the wealthy. Capitalism for workers.
Stop trusting billionaires. Start holding them accountable. And start protecting workers.
End Rant.
