  1. I’m not saying this is true, either, but If you rearrange the letters in Elon Musk, drop some and replace them with others, you can probably spell Lev Bronstein. It all depends on the letters.
  2. Brownstones are very cool, though expensive to maintain, energy inefficient and the average life expectancy in the 1940s was about 62. I think they’re pretty pricey, too, in the $2m range for not much space. That said, the average size of a typical Brownstone is 19x40, and the average sf occupied by a resident in NYC is around 500. http://urbancalc.com/post/NYC-Residential-Density/#:~:text=New York City has about,the city as a whole. Let’s cut that in half and say the in the Roundy’s On Broadway Lego Huts, you market hard on the notion that a family of 4 is living in paradise on 250sf. Current population of NYC is 8.2m, +|- and of course people already live somewhere. Obviously, those places are likely energy inefficient too, not up to current building codes, and there has to be a plan to address. Then, of course to make this all work you’ll want to increase population exponentially. Are you imaging a row of Roundy Brownstones 1,789 stories high? Or maybe two stories spread out over several square miles? No doubt you’ll want to expand e/w/n/s and take some private property via eminent domain, but eventually you hit NJ and Ct. Oh—are you bringing asbestos back?
  3. Wow!! Sorry for to hear that but welcome back!
  4. I understood the first time.
  5. Is that what you mean???? Yowza. That explains a lot.
  6. I think Roundy has them filed under “Legal: Entertainment”. Though, that’s another reason to avoid communal jenga housing—all that singing and dancing at night has gotta be very disruptive to the sleep schedule.
  7. The ideal from dem leadership is a compliant base that follows the directive, ignores the obvious flaws in policies and real world examples of failure. In practice, they know their audience very, very well.
  8. I think everyone agrees the only illegal gangs are The Warriors, The Baseball Furies, and The Dementors. All else are mainstream social clubs for the most part. Reason #127 why believing in government stacked storage living units may not be in your best interest.
  9. You didn’t “do”anything. They told you who your guy would be, and in spite of obvious signs you should have demanded someone else, you stayed in line without a whisper. When they told you to move to another line and pay no attention to the first line, you dutifully complied. When they told you this is the way nominees are selected in the new world order, you figured it was your idea. As for the “right thing”, inflation has surged, price gouging on the B/H watch is a major problem per KH, personal bankruptcy filings are up 16% after a 16% increase last year. More people died from COVID on the Harris watch and that was after the Trump admin delivered the vaccine. The border continues to be a mess, parts of NYC and other major cities in free fall, and under Harris/Biden’s watch, millions are dead, injured, homeless in Ukraine and Israel. Our faith in our leaders to follow simple and basic security for national secrets has been rocked, with thinking people recognizing the nature of selective political prosecution.
  10. Perhaps, but the collective belief in the JBs physical/cognitive/emotional state will go down as one of the great examples of mass delusion in the history of American politics. You d$psh$ts were mortgaging the house on a political shell game, thinking “…they said it’s just a stutter….just a stutter…”.
  11. We know this for sure —it would be a real resume booster for you if he was a Democrat. https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/apr/04/joe-biden-allegations-physical-behavior-women
  12. That’s what THEY want you to think, Frank! Follow the signs to the true north.
  13. In related news, CNN is reporting that the DOJ has opened an investigation into Tulsi's involvement of the Hawai'i Earthquake of 2006.
  14. @Tiberius...why would KamHar decline a Q&A with Bloomberg? Fear?
  15. At the table of brotherhood, no one is an idiot, no one deflects, and all opinions are welcome. If someone else saw tears, then tears they saw. I only heard sniffling, but it is allergy season. It's also important to know that Roundy may be a bit frosty because Trump appeared at a drive-thru, and Roundy is all about a world where walkability is the way.
  16. After 4 years of JB being handled, guided, moved, directed about (and stumbling, tripping and falling when he wasn’t), it’s ironic you call a simple political appearance a puppet show.
  17. I see it differently. Your base didn’t like her in the least just 4 years ago….she got the initial bump because Biden was steamrolled so badly in the debate. As time settled, she reverted to the same unlikable politician she was before.
  18. The impact of a thousand paper cuts can make a difference, Frank.
  19. Whiny Fergie: “Ad hominem attacks!” 🙄 Hypocritical Fergie: “My attacks don’t count!”🤫 Confused Fergie: “Smart people trust but verify, except when they don’t!”🧐 Ad hominem Fergie: “Your response is long-winded”🙄 Change the subject because he’s been outted as whiny, hypocritical, confused and Ad hominem Fergie: “I don’t really care one way or the other, I’m just worried about the living wage for the people at my golf club…”👌🏼
  20. Ah, I’ve upset you. That wasn’t my intent, and what you perceive as an attack or insult was neither. I simply pointed out the parallels between your positioning, the interaction we see here, and the larger issue of Trump/Harris/McD. If you feel it’s uncivil to point out that posters here (you included) regularly question the credibility and bona fides of other posters, you should refrain from questioning the credibility and bona fides of other posters. I don’t doubt you worked at a Holiday Inn, and agree it’s irrelevant whether I believe you or not. My first job was working on a cleaning crew and while I can’t tell you much about dried egg yokes, I can tell you that cleaning bathrooms and resolving issues that arise from improper disposal of hygiene products (wet, dry or in-between) brings challenges as well. Your thoughts on Trump’s appearance at the McDonalds may/may not impact voters, and I already addressed that. With regard to all you smartums out there, you just typed a couple comments about the inability for Harris to offer proof of her work experience, going so far as to offer thoughts on your experience. Yet, you suggest the smartums follow the “trust but verify” process. Regular folk like me simply point out the disconnect there, and remind you that in this case, you’re simply trusting, and not verifying whatsoever. Still, it’s interesting that the simple act of a political candidate connecting with a local business that serves everyday Americans has created such a fuss. Maybe we all need to step back, take a deep breath and swing by the local McD’s for a McFlurry.
  21. You’re not running for President, so your experience is not relevant. At the same time, our little social experiment here likely reveals that some posters might not necessarily believe you. There’s been a lot of back and forth between you and other posters about credibility, education, occupation etc that is perpetually unresolved. In that regard, it’s not unlike the issue Harris faces with McDonalds, Trump faces with his statements, and even JB faced with his statement that his uncle was consumed by cannibals. You trust her. Others don’t.
  22. No, Scraps, it’s not a criminal trial, it’s the court of public opinion. She doesn’t need evidence, she needs to convince voters who care about such things that she’s telling the truth. You don’t care because you’re Krazy4Kamala, great. We’ll add it to the list of things folks in your camp don’t care about. As for her, she doesn’t have to do anything. Maybe the issue goes away, maybe it doesn’t. However if it chips away at her support with undecided voters, that she seems to be pandering, it’s a win for Trump. As for what she can say or do, she could provide a timeframe when she worked there, the location of the restaurant, perhaps a name or two of the people she worked with or a supervisor. The problem there, of course, is that people can check those things these days with amazing accuracy. Look what happened to her running mate, Tiananmen Tim. Claimed he was in China during the uprising (Wow, how about that!), turns out he was actually at Big China Buffet in Eden Prairie, Minnesota (Wait, that’s not the same thing!) and just got his wires crossed a bit.
