NFL Week 6 broadcast maps: Bills-Chiefs nationally televised on CBS
SoCal Deek replied to RiotAct's topic in The Stadium Wall
How the mighty media darlings have fallen….New England v Cleveland now gets spotty coverage, replaced by Ravens v Giants. -
I’m certainly no fan of OPEC but the current administration has backed themselves (and all of us) into an energy corner. They can’t produce more oil domestically because they’re convinced oil is an existential problem. And they don’t appear to have a serious plan to transition to other forms of energy. To quote Irv…. What a mess!

So you equate Trump telling the Saudis to stop flooding the market with cheap petroleum in their effort to eliminate the US oil industry, with Biden threatening the Saudis to produce more oil after he already killed the US oil industry? Okie Dokie

Oh I see. So in your version what we’re witnessing is the GOOD outcome? Excellent -

Unbelievable. Keep selling those bombs people. The military industrial complex says thank you. -
Democracy’s Fiery Ordeal: The War in Ukraine 🇺🇦

By doing the hard work of diplomacy and assembling a coalition of our allies to make it clear that ANY incursion would not be tolerated…before it starts. How about that? But what were we doing…watching figure skating and hoping not to embarrass China while they were throwing a party. -

I’m not blaming Biden for the attack. I’m blaming Biden for the response and for not stepping in to stop it before the attack….and you know it. But instead of admitting it you fall back on childish nonsense as expected. -

Huh? It’s ridiculous because it’s been an utter disaster for the people of Ukraine. Everything isn’t about American politics! Get off your partisan soapbox. This wasn’t a surprise attack. This wasn’t Pearl Harbor. What was the Biden Administration doing during the build up on the border? They were watching the Winter Olympics! -

Actually I think we should’ve stepped in BEFORE any of this got started. But once it did, you go in strong and end it fast! So….if all we’re going to do is ‘manage’ a war then I don’t blame what you call the appeasers. The current Biden policy is utterly ridiculous. -

About whether we should be ‘managing’ a war? No, we shouldn’t. About whether from the very beginning we should have given Ukraine what they needed to win? Yes, we should’ve. But Biden was once again clueless, anticipating a small incursion (his words not mine). -

You posted something about Pompeo, and I’m simply asking follow up questions. That’s what the question mark means at the end of a sentence. -

SoCal Deek replied to Tiberius's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
So you’re saying that for over six months we failed at ‘managing’ this conflict and therefore we’re NOW going to start giving the Ukrainians what they need? Or are we still just managing it? -
Why do the gays love the dems so much ?
SoCal Deek replied to Teddy KGB's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I’ve mentioned this before. A friend of mine is a middle school counselor. She tells me that every year after sexual harassment training her office gets full of middle schoolers claiming they e been harassed. The same thing happens every year after bullying training. Etc, etc. The point? Middle school kids are VERY impressionable. They will absorb and take on the attributes of just about any topic they’re presented. There’s no reason to rush into any of this life altering stuff. Once you’re an adult….have at it! -
You may be correct there. It’s however hard for me to believe that if the design is in fact done that they could keep it hidden from the public. Immediately after the architectural firm creates the initial concept sketches and renderings they need to distribute them out to a large number of consultant firms, so the technical design work can begin. I’ve got to hand it to them if their Code of Silence is that wide and iron clad…..but who knows.

So if we aren't giving the Ukranians the weapons they need to win....what exactly are 'we' doing? -
Okie Dokie....it is pretty hard to break ground on anything if you don't first have an idea of what you're building. These are very complex structures. They do not start and one end and hope it all comes together when they get to the other end. As I mentioned above, I'm guessing the issues are all surrounding costs at this point. They don't want to publish renderings that later cause people to say "Hey! This is not what we were shown/promised!" That doesn't mean they cannot start some of the infrastructure and site clearing activities this coming Spring.

For those of us in Southern California, the LA City Council and County Board of Supervisors are both widely know to be a colossal joke. They preside over a City/County that are both crumbling before everyone's eyes. The City Council has been rocked by allegations and convictions of out-right corruption for years. The fact that these people call each other names behind each other's backs is amongst the least of their problems. They are a public embarrassment.

With no published renderings in Mid October, it is hard for me to see a Spring 2023 Groundbreaking, but projects can indeed be fast tracked. In construction, however things are not priced to the Groundbreaking date, but rather to what is known as the Mid-Point of Construction. So, even if they do 'break ground' in six months, the pricing will be based on the halfway point from that date until the Grand Opening. Which, right now, is very difficult for even the best of Contractors to forecast.

And your analogy is what exactly?
