  1. I’m extremely consistent too. I believe that we should be concerned about all corruption. Even when it centers around our elected officials. Can you say the same?
  2. So you’re saying there is corruption in Ukraine? Really? Go figure! Must be a new thing.
  3. Ha! So in your version of America we’d distribute federal funds on a per capita basis? Okie Dokie
  4. How do you know there’s corruption in Ukraine? I thought we weren’t allowed to ask about it.
  5. Under represented? 😂😂😂😂
  6. Tibs…..You do realize these payments aren’t going to Canadians, right? 😉
  7. I’ve been saying it for years. When you listen to the news, don’t listen for the nouns and verbs, just listen for the adjectives. It’s there you’ll find the ‘all in’ bias of the so-called main stream media.
  8. Come on Hawk! How about going back to the era in which the black nuclear family hadn’t been utterly destroyed by ‘well intentioned’ social programs? Seems to me you’re cherry picking your history.
  9. Any chance they can get Josh to yell “Tonawanda” instead of “Omaha”? When he does, then you’ll really know he’s made it. 👍
  10. Brit, do you know if the NFL is still closing Regent Street on Saturday? They held a huge NFL Experience there when we saw the Bills five years ago. Not sure if the pandemic put a pause on that.
  11. You have got to be kidding! The provisions of the so called inflation reduction act don’t kick in for years. They have nothing to do with the current economy and even when they do, they are not focused on making much of anything better for the US taxpayer. As to your second point, the ‘adult’ nonsense you long for has also not happened , that is unless you foolishly believe American business likes a president who looks like he could die any morning. So, nice try.
  12. Have you been to California? It's a dump. All of these ridiculous progressive policies sounded good but have been a total disaster. They just elected a new mayor in Los Angeles who's on the stump day and night to fix homelessness....while the taxpayers saw this disaster coming for decades. We are taxed up the ying-yang and our roads are a graffiti filled, potholed, mess. The place is falling apart. A totally avoidable shame.
  13. Then you and I agree: BillStime is fighting a ridiculous crusade. And, more importantly, if ANYONE thinks that people are migrating to Red States because of the windfall of Federal benefits they hope to collect, they need to have their head examined!
  14. Nice try Hawk. Where the money comes from has nothing to do with where it goes out to. It comes in from US taxpayers per a rate schedule. It goes out at the whim of CONGRESS...not taxpayers. So, if BillStime wants to change how it goes out, his complaint should be with Blue State Representatives, not with Red State citizens.
  15. I always find it comical when any Administration takes the credit for the US Economy. If you're going to take that position you need to look at the specific policies or programs that lead to the increase or fall. With that in mind, I'm not sure what policies the Biden Administration is taking credit for here. They didn't change the tax code. They handcuffed American energy. They increased regulations on businesses across the board. They pumped artificial dollars into the economy. Which of those policies helped the economy? To my way of thinking, their policies only served to slow it down. Meaning we would have all been in much better shape had they simply done NOTHING. My two cents.
  16. You obviously have no idea how our federal income tax code works....but thanks for confirming it.
  17. So if I’m understanding you correctly you’re in favor of everyone pulling their own weight. Excellent! Get ‘er done. 👍
  18. What’s the point of this crusade? Federal funding goes through Congress. If MA needs more money, aren’t your representatives able to make their case? If they aren’t able, maybe you should get some new ones, instead of blaming everyone else.
  19. Ha! Note…I wasn’t comparing it to the Bills stadium design…just to the timeline. I will say though that the Luton renderings are still pretty unimpressive even for a small market club.
  20. I swear that everyone needs to rewatch the Seinfeld episode where Mom and Pop run a shoe store. In the end Kramer conjectures that Mom and Pop had opened the store FORTY years ago just so they could lay in wait to steal Jerry’s sneakers. 😂😂
  21. Bingo! Frank…you and I are going to run one heck of an Administration one day! 😂 (I only wish more people would get their heads out of their partisan arses.)
  22. Yes they are. Minimum wage is intended as a backstop for part time workers. If you’re working full time you definitely shouldn’t be working at minimum wage, unless you’re not the primary bread winner. Further, the Federal government shouldn’t be involved in any of this. Since the cost of living varies widely across the country this should be a State by State matter.
  23. No…it starts with a minimum wage. That’s why it’s called that! 😉
  24. Or maybe, just maybe, we could tie Minimum Wage to inflation so it’d adjust on an annual basis and we could be done with all this endless political snarking.
  25. Have you driven on our freeways? It’s a free for all! It started during Covid and we still see some of it now. Truly frightening!
