Bill from NYC

No doubt, but where do you think that the bulk of 200K families tend to live? My guess is that they live in high tax states. If your family income is 200K on Long Island, nobody is impressed, and your property tax could easily be 15K. Easily, and now with the NYC exodus, the taxes will skyrocket. Home prices already have.

I don’t want to pay more tax. That is my choice. I suspect that it is yours as well because I am gonna go out on a limb here and guess that you don’t send extra checks to the govt., or forsake available deductions. ?

Maybe we should all make the same salary whether or not we even work. Then, we won’t have to resent, or even loathe successful people.

The dynamics of the market have changed around NYC. Rents are down in Manhattan. I do not remember this ever happening. NYC is now a cesspool with riots. Not great. People are working from home and many will never go back. There is less need for cities. On Long Island, property values have SOARED and there is no inventory. I heard someone say that prices rose between 10 and 20% just in June. If you sell, you might be limited on new options. HTH.

I'm up on the tightrope , one sides hate and one is hope It's a circus game with you and me. I'm up on the tight wire , linked by life and the funeral pyre But the top hat on my head is all you see. And the wire seems to be the only place for me A comedy of errors and I'm falling Like a rubber neck giraffe, you look into my past Well, baby you're just too blind to...see.

I believe every word of this. I even wanted the Bills to draft Dak after seeing him play against Alabama. It was obvious that he was a good QB. He had a DWI not long before the draft and all reports said that that this was out of character. What is hard to believe is that there are still Bills Fans who defend Whaley.

OK, I will respectfully disagree. I see your point, but imo championships never come in a vacuum. If Buffalo wins a title it will be due to the fact that we played the best of any team under the given circumstances. I would be ecstatic and think that most Bills Fans would also be. If another team wins, I truthfully would not care. jmo.

Fans attending games is pure profit for the owners, much of it in pure cash. There would seem to be no way that they let an entire season pass without any fans. We are talking of untold millions consisting of 15 dollar beers and 50 dollars to park in some stadiums, let alone souvenirs, high ticket prices and everything else. I know these owners are super rich, but they didn't get that way by turning down money, and at the end of the day they control most of the politicians. Jmo. Who cares?

Fab Five Freddie told me everybody's high DJ's spinnin' are savin' my mind Flash is fast, Flash is cool Francois sez fas, Flashe' no do And you don't stop, sure shot Go out to the parking lot

The dead men and women in nursing homes are not recovering because nursing homes were forced by Cuomo to accept them. The 130% increase in NYC shootings in the month of June is primarily due to Cuomo emptying out the jails and prisons, some due to the riots. Some of the victims are recovering, some not. Is there anything about Cuomo that you don't approve of, or do you worship him?

Didn't realize who I was talking to Bro!

I believe you but riots bring about an overall sense of lawlessness, until of course they are stopped by force. It also makes police officers question how much they want to get involved unless they are forced to. In some jurisdictions and circumstances it would be more advisable to just let someone go rather than risk using force on another person. The paycheck is the same and the headaches are fewer. Much fewer. In California very recently, police officers had a car pulled over. A very prominent politician was driving by. She pulled over to the curb, exited her vehicle, and wanted to know why they had "brothers" pulled over. If you think I'm making this up, it's on you tube. If I was an official in their police union, I would happen to let the word slip out in informal conversation that car stops are a bad idea. What you are seeing now is the tip of the iceberg, unless these (mostly white) Antifa rioters are stopped by the use of necessary force.

The numbers are primarily due to the riots, not covid.

I am not sure why that movie didn't get more notice. Not only was it informative, it was very funny and well acted.

Shootings for the month of June were up 130% against June/2019. Weather?

Cool. Lets leave it alone.

Late yesterday night, I saw a light shine from a window, And as I looked again, Your face came into sight. I couldn't walk on Until you'd gone from your window. I had to make you mine, I knew you were the one. Oh, I would be so glad Just to have a love like that, Oh, I would be so true And I'd live my life for you.

Doc, which minority communities do you think object? Also, could you give me an estimate of what percentage of the overall population that you think cares at all about the names of football teams? I live in a community with some minorities, and have been friends with and worked with every minority of which you could think. My 3 daughters are minorities. Not 1 person has ever told me that they care about the names of football teams. Zero Doc. Btw, count me in. I don't give one infinitesimal $%&k about names of football teams. It does irritate me just a tad to see them extorted to change, by people that are really not fans like us. This of course is jmo.

Your polls mean nothing and your support for Cuomo is no surprise. Rioting is not a danger to one's health in a pandemic, right? Next you will be telling us it is good for you! And btw, Cuomo, when asked about the nursing home butchery was quoted as saying," old people die." It took him weeks and 5,000 or more deaths to admit to a mistake. Oh, and as far as the president is concerned, I'm certain that you called him a racist and a xenophobe when he closed the borders to China and then Europe. C'mon Bro, tell the truth.

I had some friends but they're gone Somethin' came and took them away And from dusk 'til the dawn Here is where I'll stay. Standing at the end of the road, boys Waiting for my new friends to come I don't care if I'm hungry or poor I'm gonna get me some

I see, however the kid that you described would have an interest in playing to enhance his chances of signing for millions of dollars. It also would seem to apply more to schools like the ones we are fans of. OSU doesn't have a bad player on the team. A RB there better do all he can to get on the field. Jmo.

Do you think that riots contribute to covid19 or just bars? In NYC there are no protest restrictions, just restrictions on businesses and people not rioting. As for Cuomo, ask the 5,000 nursing home patients how they feel about him. Wait, never mind.....they are dead because Cuomo ordered nursing homes to admit covid19 patients, even though the Javits Center was empty and he was given a HUGE medical ship by the federal govt.

Nowhere to run to baby, nowhere to hide Got nowhere to run to baby, nowhere to hide It's not love that I'm running from It's the heartbreak I know will come 'Cause I know you're no good for me But you've become, a part of me

I'll bite.....who are these people about which you speak?

If there was nothing in it for the players other than "money for the schools" Yolo, why would they worry about "losing their spot?" C'mon, seriously.
