65 h. ago ‘The food is bad, everything is bad’: what it feels like to be on a hopeless NBA team

Teams like Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls have gone down in history for their winning streaks. But what’s it like to be on a truly terrible roster?The business of sports is about winning. But that, of course, doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of losers out there. That’s most evident every year in the NBA around the first day of spring. With about a dozen games left in the regular season, it’s obvious which teams are also-rans – and they have probably known that for some time. But when a team are losing and losing often, how does that affect the roster? How do the players deal with the constant lows?“When you lose,” says former NBA All-Star Xavier McDaniel, “it’s like getting a life sentence. I knew for me, losing, it started me to drink beer.

4 w. ago Tariffs can help US workers. But Trump’s doing them all wrong

Trump’s levies won’t bring factories home. But combined with infrastructure investment, protectionism can be a progressive boonIn the run-up to the 2024 election, a lot of people were ringing alarms about Donald Trump’s tariffs. Kamala Harris called Trump’s policies a “tax on the American people” and warned of sky-high prices. According to the Nobel Prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, they are “very bad for America and for the world”. His fellow Nobel laureate Paul Krugman called them “small, ugly, and stupid” (seemingly unaware that he was invoking that joke in Annie Hall about the food being bad and the portions too small).
