In this case, the plantation workers earn 5 million a year. I would gladly call anyone paying me 5 million a year owner.Give me 10 million and massah is in play.

So Lebron is no longer part owner of Blaze pizza?

Oh no, Lebron is still an owner. That's the other absurdity of this. In the clip from Lebron's show where Draymond Green says you shouldn't say owner (after prompting from Jon Stewart), Lebron and Snoop Dogg both say they're fine with owner. However, that didn't stop Adam Silver from listening to Mensa member who also believes the earth may be flat.

[Doesn’t Adam Silver always look like he has Cancer?]


He also looks and sounds like he should be the Grand Marshall of some "Pride" freakshow... I mean, parade.

I have to chuckle watching these spoiled millionaires let a term “owner” or “ownership” bother them to the point they feel like slaves being paid millions. They took a huge step forward addressing their Kappernick social injustice. The NFL and MLB will follow.

OK. Add “owner” to the list of forbidden words. What’s next? “the?”

“Do you realize that the past, starting from yesterday, has been actually abolished?”

1984 by George Orwell
Home Literature 1984 Characters Winston Smith

“Do you realize that the past, starting from yesterday, has been actually abolished? If it survives anywhere, it’s in a few solid objects with no words attached to them, like that lump of glass there. Already we know almost literally nothing about the Revolution and the years before the Revolution.”

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, and every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day-by-day and minute-by-minute. History has stopped.

Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. I know, of course, that the past is falsified, but it would never be possible for me to prove it, even when I did the falsification myself. After the thing is done, no evidence ever remains. The only evidence is inside my own mind, and I don’t know with any certainty that any other human being shares my memories.

Just in that one instance, in my whole life, I did possess actual concrete evidence after the event – years after it.” (2.5.14, Winston to Julia)

"Ball" offends eunuchs.

"Rebound" offends divorcees.

"Uniform" offends individualists.

"Team" offends loners.

"Defense" offends prosecutors.

etc., etc.

I’d like to see Adam Schiff staring at him.
