P2Daily: The Pittsburgh Pirates Are an Underdog Story

I love Major League Baseball for one odd reason: The game isn’t fair. No sport has been a better model of America than this league. We’re currently in a time where the top 1% control the world’s wealth, the top 10% have most of the money, and the bottom 60% of people having a negative net worth. If you’re in the middle 30%, you’re either split between pretending you’re in the 10%, or finding a way to help the 60%. We’re in an age of ridiculous inflation, which is causing housing and cost of living crisis that will only grow that 60% figure.
