I believe he said he was a teacher and that the 7% was spread over two years. That seems about right. His plight is the definition of inflation. Employers cannot be expecting to keep up with this recent spike in costs. Most employers only give raises once a year. They’ll be playing catch up for quite some time. In the meantime the employees take it in the shorts. Welcome to Biden’s Green America!

And you think this was a good way to do it? Sitting in his comfortable office while MILLIONS of innocent people lost their homes, loved ones, and everything but what they could carry? Sure! I’m guessing you can’t see the incredible damage from your house so what difference does it make if some stupid Ukrainians lose everything.

That’s impossible….Biden passed the inflation reduction bill! Now dammit, stop your whining and fall in line with the regime’s agenda.

Biden is destroying Putin’s army? That’s the mission of the United States? Why exactly?

Right….sure

Very well done. And next time you can politely suggest that they ask their parents. Just like you would if they asked something about religion, etc

Whatever it takes? Like what exactly?

Is that the same Mitch McConnell that brought you the Supreme Court you hate so much? Or is there another one? Is it the same Cheney who’s father you called a war criminal? Or is there another one? Is that the same Mitt Romney you accused of being a sexist with his notebooks full of women? Or is there another one? THOSE are now your pillars of integrity and intelligence? Please.

While not designed by Populous you might also Google the renderings of the new Everton stadium. It’s closer to the size of an NFL stadium and in my opinion is really nice mix of contemporary and traditional architecture. Liverpool, home of Everton, is an industrial seaport town like Buffalo. All of these design firms pay close attention to what the others are doing. It’s a competitive industry and there aren’t that many to look at.

Trust me…not trying to show off. But if anyone wants to see the Tottenham Stadium they are on TV today at 12:30 eastern time on the USA Network. And with regard to the seat covering, virtually every single European (especially English) soccer stadium is constructed with 100% of the seats under cover. They’ve been building them that way for years. It rains regularly in England and their season is during the fall, winter, and spring…not the sunnier summer months. The only fans who get wet are those in maybe the first couple of rows when the rain is wind blown. If you’re really interested I highly recommend downloading Google Earth where you can easily ‘tour’ all of these sites. Because the images are from a satellite they’re essentially looking straight down from above. What you’ll discover is that the only area inside the stadium that’s exposed to the sky is the field itself. I hope that helps. 👍

The Bills stadium will of course be unique but looking at recent projects from the same architectural firm should give you a bit of a hint. Speaking as an architect, what Populous’ portfolio of recent work is most known for is a more contemporary imagery, as opposed to a historically referenced ‘style’. Now it’s only a guess but I don’t expect a brick clad industrial looking stadium like you see in Seattle. Instead I expect a much more modern aesthetic. I’ve been to Tottenham. The best I can describe it is it looks like a spaceship landed in a neighborhood of old brick row houses. It’s incredibly cool! Although I’m not sure what the next door neighbors think about it.

It’s part politics and part human nature. Everyone…and I mean everyone…finds it easier to spend other people’s money or to ignore other people’s problems. This latest stunt (or whatever you want to call it) has brought what should be a shared American burden to parts of the country that until this week were virtually oblivious to the issue. I therefore think it’s a good thing. And lest you think it’s all partisan, the same could be said for issues that inversely impact republicans and/or democrats. While many quote the NIMBY slogan, I’ve more apt to quote the mirror image, “I can’t see it from my house”. The latter explains why so many trendy policies are ridiculous at their core. While you may not be able to see the problem from your house, it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening!

From his posts he’s also convinced The Handmaids Tale is a documentary.

It’s much less notable when you’re sitting in the stadium. Your eyes adjust to the changes in light level much better than the television cameras can.

The Bills stadium will definitely not be like SoFi. It will have a roof covering the seats, but open to the sky over the field. And SoFi has no A/C or heating for that matter because as you experienced it’s actually not an indoor environment. SoFi is three distinct and physically separated structures. The retaining wall they used to sink the playing field almost eight stories into the ground. The stadium itself which is a conventional stadium. And finally the glass covered canopy that spans across the entire facility including creating a covered plaza that encloses the adjacent indoor theater venue.

Mitch McConnell? So you've got another GOP member to add to the list, along with Liz Cheney, Kinzinger, and good 'ol Mitt Romney? Funny how you only seem to recognize those that roll over for whatever program or spending Bill that the Left is pushing these days.

MAGA base! 😂😂 Keep playing that card.

Exactly….wouldn’t the appropriate response from Massachusetts liberals to have been to say thank you and offer to accept thousands more?

Get this….2,000,000 illegal aliens have literally walked into our country just this year, but when a grand total of 50 end up in Massachusetts, the internet blows up. And I’m riled up? 😂😂😂

I’m not riled up. I’m laughing my head off!

Keep lighting your hair on fire. You honestly thought the flood of illegal immigration was going to go on day after day after day and NOBODY was going to do anything? You really have to be kidding me! And, if you illegally enter another country, I’m not sure you’re in any position to pick where you want to live. It’s not like they were sent to Death Valley! But, to be constructive, how about you take a few illegals in at your house? Get in the boat and row.

That’s correct…but they were NOT being deported. Happy Friday

Sure…sounds like Florida sent a ‘trickle’ just like you quoted that they did and they were not swooped up in dragnet against their will, if you actually read your story. They were not harmed or damaged. So…..Welcome to Martha’s Vineyard!

So your point is that there’s no problem at the border? Excellent… Let’s Go Brandon!

You haven’t been paying attention. Florida has been a dumping ground for the Biden’s illegal immigrant redistribution program. I’m pretty sure Florida cannot swoop up people on their streets once the feds have dumped them there. If it’s like california it’s illegal to ask someone’s immigration status. So Florida is making a point that BEFORE they incur the ongoing costs of maintaining these people maybe it’s time some of them were dispersed so that other communities could pay their “fair share”. It’s not a cost…it’s an investment! (That’s what you guys always say, right?)
