Started taking me to the games when I was 5. So, I go back to the Shea days. But OJ was my favorite player growing up and that is how I became a Bills fan. My first great memory with the Bills was the 1981 WC game at Shea. I was there. Bills jump out to 24-0 lead only to see the Jets make a furious rally. Bill Simpson intercepted Richard Todd at the goal line with about 10 seconds left as the Bills held on for a 31-27 win.

Comprehension could really help you with that issue. Its called Population density. you said cali is overcrowded. but by comparison, its not. there must be another reason people are fleeing that state (and other DARK blue ones) or even why people are not coming back to the cities since covid.

You’re leaving out a very important fact of this As fast as people are leaving California, there are other people moving right in Personally, I hope that the right wingers go to Florida better to get them all in one spot they’ve got things pretty strong up down there politically speaking and so they would probably be happier there But in California we are more diverse and as fast as people are going out and it’s fast as companies leave, their places are taken by other people and other companies The difference between the population in California and Florida are in the millions

You mean the part where I asked if they are being replaced by foreigners? The facts dont agree with your story. maybe it has something to do with bad policy and bad economics. In the fiscal year of 2022, the state of California collected a total of 280.83 billion U.S. dollars in tax revenue, the highest of any state. New York collected the second highest amount of taxes in that year, coming in at 117.98 billion U.S. dollars And a 25B dollar deficit. how does a state have a deficit? and especially after the huge windfall they got with the state bail out.

They are not counted whenever they tally California residents. It’s not a surprise that foreigners would want to come to California and only legal ones are counted in the census

Well, when you asked if they were being replaced by foreigners the first thing that I thought was that you meant illegal immigrants if you did not mean that I apologize California is very diverse, so yes we have a lot of foreigners. Here are universities are extremely diverse with all of the students that come over to study here for example That’s why I think it’s an extremely blue state 1
Orlando Buffalo Posted July 28, 2023 Posted July 28, 2023 https://news.yahoo.com/one-family-pocketed-7-6-221318711.html What is the purpose of the deposit? I thought it was ensure that the cans were recycled, if not then it is simply another tax. When I lived in NY I saw a study that showed the recycling done in areas with deposits was no better than those without deposits, at that point I knew it was just a tax.
B-Man Posted August 7, 2023 Posted August 7, 2023 You can’t defend yourself against an Armed robber in California? 1
B-Man Posted August 9, 2023 Posted August 9, 2023 Go On, Gavin, Don’t Be Afraid — Debate DeSantis “Boy, a few dark clouds appear on your horizon and you just go all to pieces.” – Butch to Sundance in “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.” Some months ago, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said he would be “all in” on a debate with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. DeSantis later accepted. Now some are wondering if Newsom’s offer was sincere because it looks as if he wants to avoid the verbal sparring. Which makes sense: Newsom probably knows he can’t take the heat. Newsom was fast-tracked for political stardom through his connections to San Francisco wealth and power. He was groomed and polished by the Gettys, the Pritzkers and the Fishers, not only in politics but in business, where he was set up not to fail. But on his way to the governor’s mansion in Sacramento, which took him through the San Francisco mayor’s and the lieutenant governor’s offices, he never faced a capable political opponent in an election or debate. His path to the next political office was always clear of anything that might slow him or cause him even the slightest adversity. It has always been Blue sailing for him in California. When Newsom did run into a minor storm, he crumbled. In what’s been called his “damn” interview in August 2021 with editorial and opinion writers from McClatchy’s California newspapers, the governor, about a month before he survived a failed recall, reacted to not-at-all-hostile questions by uttering “damn” nine times, and slamming “his desk with his hand and fist 59 times,” the California Globe Reported. A YouTuber who posted the video online called Newsom’s reactions “a whiny self-pitying recall rage rant.” Larry Elder, who ran for governor in the recall election, tweeted that Newsom had morphed “into Captain Queeg.” When DeSantis confronts Newsom with hard questions, and indisputable facts, how is he going to hold it together? How does he explain that people are fleeing from California and to Florida without losing his cool? Furthermore, how would he defend his record, without becoming flustered, when he is asked why his state: Lost population for the first time in its history while he was governor? Has lost population for three straight years? Has entered a period of economic sclerosis while the Florida economy is the best in the country? Is losing businesses at an alarming rate? Has a homelessness problem that is entirely out of control? Has two failing major cities? Has the highest gasoline prices in the country while Florida’s are roughly the same as the U.S. average? As author and university professor Joel Kotkin recently wrote, Newsom is the president nobody needs. The California governor would do the public a great service by demonstrating that as soon as possible by debating DeSantis. https://issuesinsights.com/2023/08/09/go-on-gavin-dont-be-afraid-debate-desantis/ 1
