9. An Economic History of NASCAR (23XI v NASCAR Pt. 1)

The NASCAR season may be over but Street Legal has never been more back!!! The long-awaited first episode of the 23XI v NASCAR series is finally here! Listen now on Spotify, Apple podcasts etc. open.spotify.com/episode/6Ia0...

i have no time to do a real podcast but i did a very informal recap of this morning’s oral arguments in this thread so check it out!

anyway they’re twisting antitrust doctrine/precedent like crazy while claiming the teams are the ones actually twisting it & i really hope there’s an antitrust genius on their 4th circuit panel who can see right through their bullshit

choosing to participate in a monopolized market doesn’t make it any less of a monopoly. imagine saying consumers shouldn’t be able to sue ticketmaster because they knew the prices would be stupidly high before they bought the tickets & they could’ve bought something else instead. it makes NO sense.

this argument is so fundamentally flawed when you put it in any other context like imagine arguing NCAA athletes shouldn’t have been able to challenge the fact they weren’t being paid because they knew they wouldn’t be paid beforehand & should’ve chosen to do something else. ZERO logic in that.

do not trust my apartment in a moderate risk environment so i’m hanging out in the library until further notice

hopefully over the summer i’ll actually have time to🤞

yeah i would say the counterclaim press conference completely blows up this argument they tried to make & leaves the judge an opening to say “hey i warned you & you didn’t listen”

the judge might roast NASCAR over an open flame even if he doesn’t dismiss it considering he said in a previous motion he was really tired of both sides making inflammatory statements to the media

exactlyyyyy

it takes a certain level of skill to, in a less than 12 hour time period, 1) find out you got the lowest grade in your class on your midterm 2) find out you lost the appeal you argued & 3) get a parking ticket as you’re walking out of the building, but trust & believe i experienced all 3 today 🙃

i lied tennis fans were mostly right because any legit claims in this lawsuit are undermined by paranoid conspiracy theories & bullshit that exploits legitimate grievances to create an even worse system lmfao

the thing is they have legitimate, interesting allegations and then they discredit themselves by following them up with baseless, ridiculous allegations & ofc tennis fans only see the ridiculous ones & focus on those & it’s sooo annoying

i used to be involved and on days like this i am so grateful to be mostly out of it

tennis fans are being more brain dead than NASCAR fans which is quite a feat

Filing an official accusation of "No, YOU'RE anti-trust laws" in response to my anti-trust lawsuit not going well

(i already have too much shit to do and i just wrapped my head around the first lawsuit)

good morning to me and by good morning i mean FUCK

would anyone with deep NASCAR knowledge be willing to read something/fact check something i’m writing and tell me if i sound certifiably insane or accurate?

props to the DOJ underlings who would rather resign than attach their names to an unsupported and illegal motion maybe lessons have been learned since the CIA torture memo

every professional responsibility/legal ethics professor is putting screenshots of these DOJ resignation letters in their powerpoints as we speak

i have never been a “oh god no don’t go to law school” person but this semester is trying very hard to turn me into one

the gamesmanship in this this illinois south carolina game is hilarious i am entertained

even if it’s not all 40 this is so so so significant & historic. can’t explain how happy i am trump can’t order 40 state-sanctioned murders in my hometown in the name of “justice.”

If notre dame has a million haters, then I am one of them. If notre dame has 10 haters, then I am one of them. If notre dame has one hater, that’s me. If notre dame has zero haters, I am dead.

Excited to hear what you think! it’s thematically and cinematically dark so i consider it to be a good show to watch/rewatch in the winter. Also best soundtrack of any show i’ve ever watched imo.

hulu i think! my dad & i bought all the seasons back when it aired so i’ve never really streamed it

season 4 is the best season of television ever made btw zero misses

doing my yearly rewatch of the americans & it remains the best tv series of the last 10 years & it’s so depressing that 99% of the general public has never seen it
