Conor,

This is by far best column in The Stranger.

Back in the day, we used to charge people who paid us late a fee.

10 net 30.

30 days late, pay 10 percent.

Sounds like a plan.

MLB's problems are longstanding- way too long boing games, and endless seasons. Baseball's success is in getting (and paying) exciting young players from all over world.
This lockout is just more proof that billionaires don't know what's best!

Why no mention of the Soviet Union, Venezuela, East Block of Europe or Cuba!

All great examples of socialist states where the workers came out on top... well on top of a dung heap. They got rid of those nasty capitalist and all their problems were solved.

Yes, they fought the good fight. ....and they were rewarded with a lovely socialist utopia.

Kind of like Seattle...we are chasing business away, we have a population dependent on hand outs, free rent, government subsidies... and our utopia is starting to show promise & flower:

Homeless encampments, crime, drugs abuse, government setting prices on private business contracts .... riots, apathy and far, far left nitwits popping up like spring flowers.

....And Don't forget our youth!

The the future of a country lies in its youth!

We have a whole generation trained to apply for workers comp, unemployment while working under the table on "gigs", apply for rental subsidies etc..... and in their spare time engaging in riots without regard to consequence, not repaying student loans and generally milking the systems in grand style. Ah, fair youth.
