Statewide Gas Ban Bill Axed From NY Budget, Sources Say Environmentalists are planning to protest Thursday following news that a measure to ban gas hookups in new construction across the state starting in 2024 has been left out of the forthcoming budget deal—Gov. Kathy Hochul’s first since taking office. The proposed legislation, the All-Electric Building Act, follows a similar law passed by the New York City Council under former Mayor Bill de Blasio in December. https://citylimits.org/2022/04/06/statewide-gas-ban-bill-axed-from-ny-budget-sources-say/ Switch after alternatives are in place not before -
Bradberry is still too expensive once NYG keeps his bonus and restructure as dead cap. Even then would need to give Bills a good draft pick to take his salary. jmo $13,400,000 base salary , $3M bonus , $5,363,889 restructure https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-york-giants/james-bradberry-19011/

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer To Retire
ALF replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
There was no need for future ramifications . Republicans could have gone back to 60 when in power for lower court and Exec branch appointments but Trump wanted to stay at majority . Fact is more important then opinion. The nuclear option was first invoked in November 2013, when a Senate Democratic majority led by Harry Reid used the procedure to eliminate the 60-vote rule for presidential nominations, other than nominations to the Supreme Court. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_option#:~:text=The nuclear option was first,nominations to the Supreme Court. -

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer To Retire
ALF replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
It use to take 60 Senate votes to confirm a Supreme Court Justice acceptable to both parties. That changed to at least 50 +VP under McConnell ordered to by Trump. So now we have extremes possible from left or right depending on party in power. -
Deshaun Watson to Browns - $230 million guaranteed
ALF replied to Draconator's topic in The Stadium Wall
He will very likely face a suspension , even if 1 season could be worth it for Browns unless Baker turns into a franchise QB. -
Owner will be NYS once both budgets pass funding for new stadium and it is built. EC owned it from the start. Major state funding from casino profits in WNY should make it pass easy.

Not likely to pass in the Senate because of inflation. House D know they are toast in midterms so will try this way. Lockdowns in Shanghai and other Chinese cities pose a growing threat to the economy Hong Kong (CNN Business)China's unwavering commitment to stamping out Covid by locking down big cities such as Shanghai threatens to deal a hefty shock to its vast economy, place more strain on global supply chains and further fuel inflation. Shanghai — home to China's leading financial center and some of its largest sea and airports — has been under lockdown for 12 days, and there's no sign of it ending. https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/08/business/china-shanghai-covid-lockdown-economic-impact-intl-hnk/index.html

In 2021, the European Union imported 155 billion cubic metres of natural gas from Russia, accounting for around 45% of EU gas imports https://www.iea.org/news/how-europe-can-cut-natural-gas-imports-from-russia-significantly-within-a-year -

I blame inflation on what covid did to the world economy , destroyed the supply chain and causing millions to retire or leave the job market. 25 million in Shanghai locked down today will hurt the supply chain even more.

Russia claims it did not massacre civilians in Ukraine, citing conspiracy theories that evidence was manipulated or filmed with crisis actors "All the photos and videos published by the Kiev regime in Bucha are just another provocation," said a tweet from the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Sunday, describing the claims of atrocities as "another #hoax by the Kiev regime for the Western media." https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-cites-conspiracy-theories-to-denying-massacre-in-bucha-ukraine-2022-4 -

Fact check: In series of false claims, Republican Rep. Lisa McClain says Trump caught Osama bin Laden Michigan Rep. Lisa McClain, a freshman Republican member of Congress, made a series of false claims in a short speech at former President Donald Trump's rally outside Detroit on Saturday -- notably including an assertion that Trump, who has endorsed her for re-election, was the president who caught terrorist Osama bin Laden. Criticizing the state of the economy under President Joe Biden, McClain said, "Unemployment: 40-year high." ( 3.6% ) McClain claimed: "Under President Trump, if my memory serves me correctly, I don't believe we had any wars. We got a war in Ukraine right now." Facts First: McClain's memory didn't serve her correctly. There were, obviously, wars during the Trump presidency. Speaking of the crowd at the rally in Macomb County, McClain said: "But take a look around for one minute. Tell me Joe Biden won? He couldn't have this many people at a rally, the State of the Union combined." https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/04/politics/fact-check-lisa-mcclain-trump-rally-bin-laden-unemployment-wars-biden/index.html -
Biden and the crises er challenge on the border
ALF replied to Unforgiven's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Both republicans and democrats ? I'm for secure borders and only legal immigration . What has been happening is a disaster and I blame Congress. The US does need more of the right workers but they have to be legally here. Asylum is a case by case basis. -

If the Pegulas do pick up the cost overruns which are very likely with inflation they will pay a lot more.
