Teachers definitely deserve higher salaries in America...

That doesn't mean basketball players deserve less lol


One day (probably not in our lifetime, but maybe our grandchildrens generation) I hope that we live in a moneyless society, notice I say moneyless and not cashless. Moving from cash to digital really does have a lot of benefits and paves the way for moneyless society tho.

Governments would have far less hold over people, organized crime would be significantly hindered and unincentivized, law and order could be shifted more towards education and rehabiliation.

As a somewhat small sample relative to the world, we can see that once Spain shifted from crime and punishment regarding drug use, they actually have significantly reduced drug abuse and organized crime.

Spain has one of the world's most permissive drug use policies and when law enforcement encounters individuals with personal amounts of hard drugs, they are directed towards rehab and treated as tho they are suffering from disease.

Again the utility value of putting a ball into a hoop is nearly meaningless. The only reason the “company” pays these players so much is because they are a vehicle to advertise sugar water, fast food, and beer to low IQ people


Lol the fat virgin basketball fan wants to throw stones inside his glass house does he?

You can't be serious?

The only reason companies want to advertise during those games is because so many viewers are watching for the game itself. Advertisements are feeding off of "guys putting a ball in a hoop", not vice versa lol. The source of attention is on the game, those players, and the advertisements just piggy back off of that.

The NBA is a business that generates over $8 BILLION a year because of those players putting a ball in a hoop. They're one of the select few (a few hundred in a world with 7.9 billion BILLION people) good enough to play for a company to help them generate that kind of money. They are paid fairly based on what they contribute to their company.

Teaching is a respectable job, just like nurses, police, military, etc. All respected professions and necessary in society, but they're dime a dozen and can easily be replaced with someone that contributes just as much.
