Sorry to hear about your struggle with your family member's condition. I will never forget an Uncle (who eventually died from it) looking at me, 15 years ago, and asking me, "Who are you?" That was a punch in the stomach

It is unnerving to be talking to a person and have them start talking to you as if you were someone else.

The thought of it here makes the usual back and forth and mocking i take part in seem kind of petty.

Yes, it is.

I saw something on-line last month with Bill Gates talking about a supplement that could help prevent althzeimers and even reverse it, something that he and his team developed along with Japanese scientists. What I watched, caught my attention. In the video Gates said his intense interest was due to the fact that his father died from the disease. And of course I have not seen or heard anything about that anywhere else, which makes me think what I saw was AI generated. But I have not seen anywhere that Gates has denied this. I have the product written down that I MIGHT want to try it

I kid you not when I say this: I have found some supplemental stuff on-line that have done wonders for me, which is what motivated me to look up supplements to combat dementia. I had a situation in which I had a swishing sound come out of my ear, VERY annoying. It's different from tinnitus (ear ringing). I asked my ENT what could be done about the swishing coming out of my ear. He said "NOTHING"! He told me that 10% of his patients have that condition. Well, I found the product that cured me. I took it for 6 months and no longer have that condition. If you have ever had sciatica pain, which is VERY painful, I found a product on-line that knocked it out in 6 days.

So, I might try this supplement that I saw on-line that Gates supposedly is pushing. Just not sure I want to yet.

I am definitely up on trying things like that. As I get older, what have I got to lose?

That swishing sound sounds very odd. I have never heard of its like.

One thing I currently have is a family member with fluid in the ears causing some vertigo. That is frustrating.

Pulsatile Tinnitus is what I had. It's a RARE form of tinnitus.

Obviously you want to talk with an ENT about your family member's vertigo. But if you are not satisfied with what you are being told, my advice to you is to look up on-line for any remedies. I went to TWO ENTs about the swishing and whooshing coming out of my ear. It was demoralizing for a doctor to shrug his shoulders telling you nothing can be done about it. The idea of living with that condition for the rest of my life was not a good feeling. So don't give up.

Yeah he offered a million bucks a few years ago.

It's not a serious proposal and can't be accepted by the WNBA. If they win, that's what they're supposed to do. If they lose, that would be a PR disaster.
Oh it’s a serious proposal.

How much money your boss/owner has has nothing at all to do with how much the business can pay its employees. If he does have a lot of money, he has it because he is smart enough to not pay more to his employees when the business isn't making a healthy profit.

By definition, "profit sharing" requires the business to make a profit. If the business does not make a profit, there is no profit to share.
You missed my point.

I don't go into a negotiation with my boss telling him "I know the company isn't making much money" so that I can avoid asking for a raise.

I advocate for the most money I can make. It's up to him and others much higher up to determine if they can pay me or not based on how much money they are making.

Of course WNBA players argue for more money. Every pro athlete argues for a better deal. It would be nuts not to do so - especially as their CBA says it would be when the WNBA makes a specific amount of revenue or profit.

To say they are wrong for asking for a higher revenue share when the league meets certain targets regarding revenue sharing is nuts. You are expecting WNBA players to do something no one would ever do.

Depends on which HS team. Drawn from some of those smaller private schools?

Regardless, trying to embarass the WNBA is a jerk move.
I could see the WNBA putting on some exhibition game against a very small private school with a team made up of short, white boys so the WNBA team could win and generate headlines about how they had proven women could play on the same level as men.
