How is this? I liked the first two, I wasn't sure if I wanted to drop that much money on the 3rd but i've been on the fence.

Franchise mode has some good depth to it; it kinda brings back some of the improving your team as you progress stuff that SMB1's season mode had. But otherwise it's mostly stayed the same, with a few minor tweaks to the play.

Someone has never played MLB Power Pros for the Nintendo Wii, which has a mode in which you balance your high school social life with on-field performance. Though now that I think about it, it might have been college.

More broadly, the answer is because college sports have a much bigger place in the culture, and there's a bigger desire to represent that in game form.

https://features.propublica.org/diabetes-amputations/black-american-amputation-epidemic/

Nobody knew it in January, but within months, the new coronavirus would sweep the United States, killing tens of thousands of people, a disproportionately high number of them black and diabetic. They were at a disadvantage, put at risk by an array of factors, from unequal health care access to racist biases to cuts in public health funding. These elements have long driven disparities, particularly across the South. One of the clearest ways to see them is by tracking who suffers diabetic amputations, which are, by one measure, the most preventable surgery in the country.

Look closely enough, and those seemingly intractable barriers are made up of crucial decisions, which layer onto one another: A panel of experts decides not to endorse screening for vascular disease in the legs; so the law allows insurance providers not to cover the tests. The federal government forgives the student loans of some doctors in underserved areas, but not certain specialists; so the physicians most critical to treating diabetic complications are in short supply. Policies written by hospitals, insurers and the government dont require surgeons to consider limb-saving options before applying a blade; amputations increase, particularly among the poor.

Despite the great scientific strides in diabetes care, the rate of amputations across the country grew by 50% between 2009 and 2015. Diabetics undergo 130,000 amputations each year, often in low-income and underinsured neighborhoods. Black patients lose limbs at a rate triple that of others. It is the cardinal sin of the American health system in a single surgery: save on preventive care, pay big on the backend, and let the chronically sick and underprivileged feel the extreme consequences.

https://minnesotareformer.com/briefs/tenants-win-ownership-of-properties-from-negligent-landlord-who-tried-to-evict-them/
Thirty-eight families in south Minneapolis will gain ownership of their five apartment buildings after spending years battling with their landlord, Stephen Frenz, who had been trying to evict them.

This is an amazing victory. I am so happy, Chloe Jackson said in a statement Monday. She is a resident of one of the properties and board president of the tenants rights group Inquilinxs Unidxs Por Justicia (United Renters for Justice),

In 2017, Frenz was banned from holding rental licenses in Minneapolis for five years because of chronic neglect, fraud and pest infestations. He then owned more than 60 apartment buildings in Minneapolis and faced one of the largest class-action lawsuits against a private landlord in the country.

He settled for a record-setting $18.5 million and served time in the Hennepin County workhouse for perjury related to the case. But he maintained ownership of the properties, which were managed by a court-appointed administrator.

While 38 families in five buildings sought to form a cooperative and buy their buildings from him, Frenz had been trying to evict them for the past year, saying he needed to vacate the properties to sell them.

Eviction seemed certain once the pandemic hit, since the families most of whom are immigrants and dont have health care or access to government benefits had collectively gone on rent strike. They decided to pool their money to help each other buy groceries or pay medical bills should someone become sick with COVID-19.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey praised the sale, which will be funded in part with an interest-free loan from the city.

This collaborative effort reflects local government done right, Frey said in a statement. Work like this makes clear the value of persistence in fighting for our residents and strategically dedicating resources to increase housing stability, even in times of crisis.

The Land Bank Twin Cities bought the five properties in the Corcoran neighborhood for $7.1 million with a loan from the city and the Local Initiatives Support Corporation Twin Cities. The two entities will also provide financing to make necessary repairs to the properties.

Over the next two years, the Land Bank Twin Cities will transfer ownership of the properties to the residents, who have named the buildings the Sky Without Limits Community.

They plan to own the buildings as a cooperative and allow more families to move in just 34 of the 69 units are currently occupied.

I am euphoric said resident Vanessa Del Campo Chacon in a statement Monday. This is the result of lots of arduous, hard work, and I believe this victory will be felt throughout the whole city.


God bless
