Perhaps I'm being unfair towards his need of having a zinger, but I'm predisposed against the "freedom" brand of politics and everyone already knows what it is. It's like when conservatives started calling inheritance taxes "the death tax". Bring everyone onboard with merits, not with what you decide to call it.

As for jobs being replaced, you have to keep in mind that, in the US, less than 1.5% of the population is employed in agriculture. And a vast majority of those are self-employed farmers, not grunts. There's just not that many people working in farms. Those jobs have already been killed by technology and if the shiny new toys paraded around conventions (fun events btw) these days replace the tiny blimp that still remains over the next 20 years, nobody is going to notice.

Like I said before I support tech education to prepare the workforce for a new generation of jobs (something that already happens right now when you look at how many people have a rudimentary understanding of computers) and a robust welfare system, but the latter should not be justified on jobs no longer existing and even then I dislike unconditional cash transfer welfare programs. People already freak out when they see people buying steaks with foodstamps, imagine the propaganda against people getting a check for whatever. As efficient as it can be, the political reality often works against it.

Agriculture is just an example, and there are a lot of illegals working in that field in a temporary basis so the numbers may be underestimated.

Who is this guy Maia is fighting? Can he do anything to prevent getting backpacked?

Dang. I knew Maia was up in age, but didn't realize he was 41

Crazy how long technically sound UFC fighter's careers can be compared to other sports, especially football. A running back is washed up at 29

Anthony Rocco Martin. Formerly known as Tony Martin. An excellent fighter, entering his prime. Bad matchup for him there.

BTW most fighters are washed up by 35. Maia has brains and...let's just say he has been eating his Wheaties.
 
didn't realize Maia was on tonight's card; might have gotten it just for him.
One of the last reasons for me to give a shit about MMA - this is his retirement fight, too, right?
 
Prediction: Spinning wheel kick KO by JDS

I think he has 2 more fights on his contract and has said he wants to finish them, after the W I doubt he retires just yet.
 
DS just got Kamala Harrised by NG

Was much more a tongue in cheek prediction

I did think JDS would be able to box him up and deal some damage. Then just a question of will NG be able to land his power punch before JDS takes his snappiness away

NG landed that shot very early. And even if the fight didn't end early, from the little we saw, that was going to be the conclusion at some point in the 1st or 2nd round. Impressive

I don't think he can handle DC's wrestling, but I think a Stipe rematch would be closer than their first. I'm very intruged to see the Stipe vs DC fight. I think Stipe might just have the boxing and footwork and takedown defense to score a decision.
