The national problem, is: PAY PEOPLE A LIVING WAGE. Yes I'm sure it has nothing to do with Hollywood and the like not paying their fair share and sanctuary cities. All sorts of people come there from less comfortable cities around the world. When we make it easier to come here legally and make sure the Stars pay their taxes and Cali stops spending money on stupid things to funnel money to their buddys I'm certain things will get better. Until then it is a corrupt state that exploits the poor. This probably doesn't belong on this board though and I will get an email from Happless and have to bite my tongue. BTW people have to make themselves of value and earn a living wage. There are many high paying technical jobs elsewhere in the country. By choosing to go to Cali they will have difficulty finding those jobs in a state where business has very little desire to be.

SoCal Deek Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 If Rivers is from Alabama it Would’ve been more interesting he had moved to New Orleans so he could take over for Drew Brees after their original history with the Chargers what seems like a million years ago.

The national problem, is: PAY PEOPLE A LIVING WAGE. Being a California resident I do agree with this: Partly it is the weather, partly its other states busing homeless here and dropping them off here, and also in part is the behavior that is enabled by the actions of some of the government here. California has its fair share of issues I agree in cities like LA and SF, but where I live it is just fine, yeah its expensive, but I am not dodging drug needles and homeless tents like most might think. There is a LOT more to this state then just inner LA and SF. Also there is massive shortage of homes here for the high demand which has thrown real estate prices out of whack, and yes, that is a bi-partisan issue.

I don’t think it will work - if anything, Tampa needs the anti-Jameis, someone who protects the ball - but it’s still worth watching. I know I’m in the distinct minority when I say I kind of like Rivers and would love to see a storybook ending to his career. I doubt it, but really, what better option does Tampa have? Arians needs to win now with the formidable offensive weapons he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrober38 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I can't see why anyone would view Phillip Rivers as a capable starting QB at this point in his career. I think he's going to have a very cool market in free agency, and unless he wants to compete for a starting gig he probably won't be in the NFL next year. I see very few teams who will be interested in adding him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Rivers always seemed like a good dude on and off the field, it would be nice for him to have one last hurrah somewhere (but not at the expense of the Bills) on his own terms. Carolina would be intriguing fit short term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly are, people who champion for a living wage more than likely never owned a business. Jobs pay what the market bears, anything else will cause issues, such as lay offs or business closures. New cars are a bad investment. Congratulations on your retirement ?

Everything here favors the super rich, business owners, gentrification, etc. Working class people are displaced everyday while the major capitalists in the state skirt all the tax laws and get all the benefits. It is capitalist welfare state. Not socialist or communist. Of course, I say this with the assumption that you have read Marx, Lenin, etc. And that you know what Marxism, Stalinism, etc. is. But truthfully, California is a neoliberal capitalist state. Period. Perhaps you're referring to the social aspects in the state like gender rights and anti-racism. But you would be hardpressed to argue that the Soviets were open to that. Finally, getting welfare benefits in this state is exceptionally difficult. The public health care is only for super super poor. Same with food. Housing assistance is impossible to get. And unemployment is a nightmare and takes forever to get benefits. I know this is about Phillip Rivers, but I hate this straight up ######ed assumption about Cali. You just described what every communist state quickly turned into before it killed everyone and fell apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other problem is kids move out there, thinking it is all glamorous & such & the place chews them up & spits them out. The cost of living out there is obscene. Like one of the posters said, it is a great place to live if you make a ton of money, not such a great place to live if your middle class or below.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 OK, this seems to have become a thread about various topics more appropriate for PPP. Since I don't feel like cleaning up threads this am, if there's any further news about Rivers a new thread would be a propos. Further discussion of Trump's golf expenditures, CA economy, homelessness etc -> PPP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
