Fair enough, it was watered down in the name of compromise. The last piece of major legislation that I was enthusiastic about was the ACA, and look what that ended being after negotiation/compromise - better than nothing I guess, but, in my opinion, a lost opportunity due to poor leadership. Biden has been fairly effective in that context.

Also worth crediting him on the infrastructure deal. This piece of legislation had a lot of needed stuff in it.
For instance
Money to replace lead service pipes
Money for bridges, etc
A HUGE sorely needed investment in public transportation including passenger rail
Various green initiatives (ev charger network, solar and power efficiency incentives)
Etc.

It has been a really long time since the federal government has delivered anything (besides tax cuts that lean towards the wealthy) so it’s a big deal that this was pushed through.

I am an astronaut, I have been priced out of the electric guitar market for over a year, I no longer think this city was built on rock and roll. For this reason I will blah blah blah…

I like how you casually drop a ridiculous conspiracy at the top. Just how exactly would the rigging work? Are all the owners in on it? The players too? The refs? Vendors? What about Kapernick? Is he in on it too? Maybe I am in in it too?

Anyone who votes for this asshole is, at the very least, okay with all kinds of shitty behavior. From making fun of people with medical conditions, denigrating all stripes of non-white, non-male folks, all the way to attempting to prevent the transfer of presidential administrations through force; All of it is owned by anyone who votes for Trump.

True, not quite there, but working on it.

Two years ago, a “once in a hundred years” wind storm downed trees that had been around for decades. Many of them fell on houses, garages, etc. Last year, the once in a hundred years wind storm took down even more. We haven’t had the every hundred year storm this year yet but I am expecting it. The issues are serious.

On a positive note, more of us are adding our voices and resources to combat the profiteers. Join us if you can.

Beware, Delaware.

Batman returns is really dumb. The movie craftsmanship (or whatever) is well done but the premise is just so stupid (to me). I feel this way about all super hero films, I just can’t get past that the source is comic books for kids. I cannot take them seriously.

I wonder if real estate investors are still hopeful of a comeback or if they are trying to think of new uses. Office park real estate, must be particularly hard hit - who would rent those horrors now that they can afford a place in a highrise.

It’s hard not to schadenfreude thinking about all the predicament of the owners of the cynically bland environments they tried to stuff us in… And they wanted us to pay for parking on top of it. Hoping we never go back.

The world is weird as fuck.

What is the distinction?

Vivek particularly sticks out as a weasel, even among MAGA rubbish.

It could fire 19 times you say… Well then, let’s pass out the heavy firearms!

I, for one, would like to see more water-based everything. Especially motion pictures. For instance, a movie about that swimming guy, what was his name? Aquatic Man was it?

My taxes went up to help offset his cuts for real estate and corporations

This is all around horror, we are the worst.

Johnson likes Exodus of all bands. I am not a fan, but man, that is badass. What’s next, Exciter? Venom? Helloween???

So it’s safe for those who are over 65? Makes sense since the immune system strengthens as we age.
