Thinking about gig workers in DC right now. The situation has put some clarity towards my long-held feelings: If I were aware of a business model which relies on putting its workers in precarious positions, I would not contribute to that business model's demand.

As a side not; at most schools the band is larger than the football team, and their friends/family/parents buy tickets, too. Sure, they wouldn't be doing a show without football, but those shiny new helmets get paid for as much buy the cymbal kid as they do by the 178lb 4th string DT.

One of my favorite f&f trivia pieces is that Diesel was so focused on the Riddick franchise, instead, that he agreed to appear in Tokyo Drift, in exchange for perpetual rights to the Riddick character.

I was almost a sophomore in college, taking summer classes, and we rolled into the theater parking lot 5-deep in Ford Taurus SHOs. The vehicular stupidity on the way out is... memorable. Several of the guys I saw it with have kids in college right now. Pretty sure none of the Tauri still run.

His work on this film built a multi-billion dollar franchise, and his decreasing interest in being the Serious Actor™ at the heart of it is why the last film is probably the final film in the series.

I think my favorite thing about the first Fast & Furious movie is that a man calling himself "Vin Diesel" thinks he's in a serious dramatic role, while everyone else is collecting a paycheck for a throwaway street racing movie. And it works.

By straight free agent WAR math (12-15m/WAR), the average of his last three seasons makes him worth between 75 and 100m/year. Factoring in lux tax depressive effects and team risk for committing *that* much money to a single player, he's probably one of the few MLB players who is paid fairly!

I don't think we're disagreeing, frankly. He's not a perfect player, and I never said he was, and the Mets fans (who are insane) were expecting him to be a better than he was last year (his best season). You asked if he was good, and anyone who isn't a lunatic would say he is a very good player.
