Its not even a proposal. Its something he was able to pull off in a mock draft.

What point are you trying to make with hyperbolic claims about the safety of riding the subway? 3 million people ride the MTA per day. You make it sound like they're all playing Russian roulette. You're still safer riding the train all night in Manhattan than you are walking around downtown Buffalo or even Rochester late at night. By the way, crime rates are up all over the country. I doubt that's a factor of NYC politics. I've already explained why people are leaving HCOL areas. This is also happening all over the country which is no surprise. Its also not a factor of NYC politics. And then we have the housing market. If people are flooding to Long Island and house prices are only up 5% consider it a win. People are paying 25% over ask in Rochester f@#$ing New York, and waiving inspections to get in first. I won't even tell you whats happening in Austin, Tampa, Phoenix and a bunch of other southern cities. You obviously think that what is happening all over the country is unique to NYC. When you view everything through the lens of politics you arrive at funny opinions. Like advancing narratives that Chicago is basically Aleppo and a day in NYC is like reenacting The Warriors. The pandemic has been a great reckoning. Many people are reevaluating their priorities and former working lives after a year of furloughs, homeschooling children, and lockdowns. Many people got more sleep, rest and time to take care of themselves during Covid which has them rethinking the whole rat race. Among job candidates, remote work opportunity and work life balance are the two top priorities now. Half are willing to take a lateral move or even a pay cut for this flexibility. Business have found out fully remote work is a viable option. As a result, the job market for white collar professionals is now national rather than local (it might even be international as I am frequently getting contacted from headhunters based out of the UK now). Lower income positions are generally not afforded this luxury as their jobs still require proximity to the office/job site. Its no surprise that people are now realizing theres an opportunity to make NYC or Silicon Valley money while paying a Texas or Florida cost of living. Its no surprise that after 2 years of Covid restrictions, destruction and displacement of the service/hospitality industry, and another generational widening of the wealth gap between haves and have nots that crime rates are up. But sure, I'm just peddling ideology and this is all unique to NYC and their no good, dirty politics.

I assume its about disruptions in global commodity markets due to the war in Ukraine. Ukraine produces a ton of wheat, fertilizer, and other agro products. As does Russia. Lebanon, for example, gets 90% of their wheat and cooking oil from Ukraine. Ukraine's most productive farmland is all in the east which is most effected by the war. There is little doubt this war will put real strain on global food supplies. How much it will affect us here in the US, I have not clue. Its either that or OP saw a golden goat cross paths with 3 man on black horses and the end times are nigh.

5% over ask would make Long Island the coldest real estate market in the nation. Waiving inspections, buying site unseen, houses selling in hours has been the norm in all hot metro areas. 3.3 million took the MTA on March 31st. I'm guessing at least half of them lived. Crime rates are up all over the country. This isn't specific to NYC. With remote work opportunities people no longer need to live to close to the workplace. Its driving people from all HCOL areas to lower cost of living areas. The narrative is the same across California, NY, Illinois. Thats the migration. No discussion of politics is necessary.

Josh back working with Palmer..
Jauronimo replied to loveorhatembillsfan4life's topic in The Stadium Wall
I actually think one of his biggest issues is not putting enough air under the ball on the deep shots. Specifically the sideline Go Route. He throws these low angle ropes and if hes off on trajectory it sails 10 yards over the WRs head. Meanwhile you watch a guy like Russel Wilson drop moonballs over the WRs shoulder and into a basket. The moonshot gives the WR a chance to adjust speed and track the ball to be the in the right place at the right time. Allen does well in deep passes like a Post where there is an X axis component but he has missed some huge opportunities on the vertical routes. He continues to improve in ball placement on the shorter routes and is vastly improved at protecting the football on these passes, protecting his WRs, and giving them a chance at some YAC. -
I don't disagree, because this is what reasonable criticism looks like. Popping off about "McCoach's" personnel decisions is just silly. Much like our lofty offensive rating, the #1 defense doesn't really tell the whole story. Pass rusher was the biggest need on the roster. And it concerns me too that every year Dline remains a problem area. Beane has done a great job building this team but he his free agent signings on the Dline have not worked out well to date.

Bruce Arians steps down - moves to Front Office
Jauronimo replied to Big Blitz's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think its more akin to the self satisfied look of a guy who just crop dusted a troop of girl scouts but yes, same idea. -
Beasley had three broken ribs last season?
Jauronimo replied to Jerry Jabber's topic in The Stadium Wall
Theres something unusual about this list of WRs Baker has put together but I can't quite figure out what it is. -
I have switched to Octordle. I play PARED, OUGHT, FLICK, HYMNS and that sets me up to succeed pretty much every time.

NFL Teams mandated to hire minority coach as offensive assistant
Jauronimo replied to UKBillFan's topic in The Stadium Wall
The thought that some coach's son might have to go get a real job one day because of minority quotas boils my blood. -
Seriously. There is no competition at goalie right now in Buffalo and they just might be turning the corner to adequacy.
-
I turned it off at 0-4 and happened to check my phone to see it was 4-4 in the 3rd. Who are these guys?!? Of course as soon as I turn it back Chicago scores to make it 5-4. Great win.

I don't know how both of these guys aren't in federal prison right now!!

I saw it as it happened. The Oscars logo went up as Smith continued to shout at Rock once he was back in his seat on my feed.

But with who? Thats the real question.

When LaLa Land won best picture.

Okposo is playing well this year and I like his presence. Just not at $6 million a year. Skinner is playing much harder too but $9 million a year is just sickening. I never want to see him on the ice for 3 on 3 again.
-
Skinner's contract might be the worst in hockey. At least hes registering on the score sheet again. Only one more year of Okposo's contract and one more year of Cody Hodgson dead cap! But 5 more years of Skinner at $9 million...

Tyreek seeking a trade [Now: Traded to the Dolphins]
Jauronimo replied to Dablitzkrieg's topic in The Stadium Wall
Only a QB away is like saying your 75% of the way up mount Everest at base camp. Sitting on my couch right now in east Texas, I am closer to Everest base camp than someone at base camp is to the summit in terms of complexity. -
Tyreek seeking a trade [Now: Traded to the Dolphins]
Jauronimo replied to Dablitzkrieg's topic in The Stadium Wall
The great thing about being only a QB away is its incredibly sustainable. You can be only a QB away for 20 years and occasionally break the monotony of those 8-9 seasons with a 9-8 year. -

Tua with Tyreek and Waddle is a lot like a mule with a spinning wheel, as the old saying goes. -

With this move the Dolphins are firmly IN THE HUNT of the November wildcard standings. Wildcard Caliber!
