  1. Me too. I heard demo at ECC might be expensive because of asbestos issues. But surely cheaper than buying off everyone in the ward who won’t seek if the plan would have been to build downtown. And, unless they put in a rail spur to try people there from Toronto, there are minimal infrastructure costs at ECC.
  2. ECC lots. That’s where it’s going. Close Abbott on game day and use existing lots plus new lot space where existing stadium now sits for parking. Done.
  3. A little bit. Politically, it's time to move. Gotta get this done while Cuomo is there. Don't know who the next governor will be. They have a working relationship with Cuomo, and he's incentivized to help now if he wants to run again in 2022. It's time to cut the deal. And I don't think they're going to build on the Highmark footprint. ECC make too much sense. Erie County wants to close the campus as it is. New stadium would be the perfect excuse. The point in yesterday's reports suggested that Toronto/Penn State are temporary options in the event a new lease agreement for Highmark can't. be reached. The reference to alternate arrangements had nothing to do with construction. So the guess here is that it's ECC, and that Highmark comes down only after the new stadium is occupied. The further guess here is that we can expect some sort of design that allows for the quick erection of a rink to allow the Sabres to play some games there during the winter (e.g., against Toronto to fill the place up).
  4. And yet you can't show your cards and specify the (again, single and isolated) study to which you refer. Here's the bottom line. I didn't waste time on junk science, I didn't waste money on junk science, and I didn't support doing things like wantonly distributing this stuff to at-risk populations (such as aged veterans and veterans who may have been injured in the line of duty) and needlessly exposing them to harmful side effects. You did. Page 56 coalesces the allegations. The preceding pages explain the summary. Enjoy your read, Chef Jim Crow.
  5. You keep on conflating danger with efficacy. The drug is useless with respect to COVID. Everyone knows it. Most people accept it. But not you. Instead, when your dear leader touted it as a silver bullet approach to the pandemic, you doubled down. And then doubled down again. And then doubled down some more. So today we’re in a spot where you cling to junk science and deflect to conceal the fact that you were dead wrong in this issue. The scientific community doesn’t support you, boss. You can name call and belittle, but you can’t win on the science. Maybe on fake science that you and your hoaxy pals like. But not on the facts. So have fun skin popping HCQ and trying to convince yourself that you and your crew of fake scientists didn’t blow the biggest medical issue in a generation.
  6. Good thing you quoted from paragraph 250. Did you bother to read the preceding 249 paragraphs?
  7. 1. You’ve conceded that HCQ has side effects. That’s a good start. 2. Let’s see this single study on which you — but not the relevant scientific community, I note — rely. 3. At bottom you advocate for taking a drug with known adverse effects but, in the COVID context, no demonstrable benefit — save, allegedly, for this single, isolated study to which you refer. That is, although there literally is no benefit to the ingestion of the drug in this context, and still a concomitant threat of risk, you say it should be taken for this purpose. It’s a ludicrous position explained only by stubbornness, ignorance, fealty, or recalcitrance. Take your pick.
  8. And today, we know that the drug doesn’t improve COVID-19 outcomes but still carries side effects. It’s a loser in this context. You can try to rewrite history all you want, but the fact is that you (and others, to be sure) were blinded by fealty and continued to advocate for the use of that drug in this context for political, not medical or scientific, reasons.
  9. Start on page 56. Enjoy, Chef Jim Crow. Simp, huh? Gargle some more HCQ. While you’re at it, do recall that the issue wasn’t safety, it was efficacy. As in, HCQ is not and was not an effective treatment for COVID.
  10. Maybe Doc is helping him write it. Should be good. Principal focus will be on including equal parts HCQ with fluoride in our water supply to combat such things as COVID, TDS, and cooties. Only the finest for Team Trump.
  11. Start on page 56. They say it better than I ever could. Enjoy your evening, Chef Jim Crow. https://www.naacpldf.org/wp-content/uploads/Sixth-District-of-the-AME-Church-v.-Brian-Kemp.pdf Who wanted people to die? Probably the fools who believe that squirting Lysol on our lungs to stop COVID was such a good plan that they deferred to fealty and refused to speak against it. Seriously. And he better secure the Colorado/Mexico border ASAFP.
  12. You have a weird thing about calling people pedos. Very strange. Maybe you could come up with a new hoaxy insult. Chef Jim Crow with the mic drop. Hilarious. Better than choking on HCQ.
  13. No. More judges = likely more cert grants and definitely fewer opinions/judge. I'm not saying that I necessarily agree with court packing (any more comments like the one yesterday from McConnell may change that view), but there's no dispute that more judges = obvious ability to increase volume.
  14. Says the “Doc” who spent months insisting upon the efficacy of HCQ as a COVID-19 treatment. Have another gnaw on that giant block of HCQ, sir.
  15. Loopholes and flat taxes are entirely different things.
  16. More HCQ logic here. Some guy who is registered in the same political party as me did something reprehensible 20 years ago, and I had absolutely nothing to do with that misconduct. But because of that registration, I, as part of the “left,” have no moral high ground to say that anyone who is not a member of said political party has engaged in reprehensible behavior. If only that was the end of the stupid logic. Now, it is implied that the sitting president is a pedophile based on what I understand to be anecdotal illustrations in which he is a bit too touchy with people by prevailing norms. How that translates to pedophile is beyond me, but then again, we are dealing with people who follow the Q and who practice HCQ logic. People of Praise called. They agree with you. Have a nice day.
  17. I’ll give you the thumbnail sketch on the flat tax. Somebody who makes $50k/year in taxable income pays, say, 17% in tax on dollars 1 through 60,000. Right now, it’s a graduated scale (kicks in at about 10% on dollars about 10,000 through around 40,000, then rises to 12% on dollars 40,001 and 60,000. Or thereabouts. I don’t have the tax code in front of me.). I use the 17% figure because I believe that’s what Steve Forbes proposed years and years ago. Now, let’s examine what the person who makes $1m year would pay. Under the current structure, their tax hit would be the same as yours on dollars 1 through 60,000. Then, however, as income rises, the tax rate goes up, so they might pay 24% on dollars, say, 80,000 through 120,000 and then even more on dollars 120,000 and beyond. Under the flat tax, they’d pay a straight 17% on everything. So who gets the tax cut in a flat tax world? The rich guy, on the monies beyond your income. And, your tax hit likely goes up to pay for it. But if you think simplification is the preferable route, hey, that’s cool. Feel free to give tax breaks to the rich and to jack up taxes on the working class and poor.
  18. So you’re absurdly rich then, too? Too much time hanging out with Steve Forbes if you believe in the flat tax theory. Who does that benefit the most? Rich folks. Really, really, really rich folks. To the detriment of most to the people who will read this message.
  19. Good point. Grab 'em by the . . . never mind. So, bottom line time. A Democrat did something reprehensible over 20 years ago, so Matt Gaetz and everyone else registered in a rival political party gets a free pass to do similarly reprehensible things. Makes. Perfect. Sense. There you go again with your HCQ logic.
  20. It's been awhile. But it's time. Hoax. It's still Trump. Carry on.
  21. You misspelled insurrectionists. I think you meant to say the insurrectionists broke 5 windows, overtook the United States Capitol, catalyzed death, and repeatedly broke the law during their insurrection.
  22. I didn’t realize that Matt Gaetz had changed his name to Joe. Interesting.
  23. Scumbag, yes. Not a billionaire . . . Probably, based on the STAR claim in 2015 or whatever it was. Demented . . . Wearing the zipper in the back for the speech to cultists in North Carolina was not a good look. That one might have some legs. There are suckers born every minute, I guess.
