Careful, last time I went home I ended up broke.... Left again to make money

Anyone else have these stories?

 

Now that you mentioned when I came back broke but I heard the local bar added a new dining room. ?

I hope not. Anybody have an answer to this?  When things clear up my first planned trip is a visit to my family in WNY. I don’t want to live in squalor like those poor poor people. 
 

Maybe it’s transmitted like Coronavirus? 

 

Just stay in the 585 portion of WNY, you'll be fine.

I went to Buffalo once to watch a football game and lost my wallet.  Does that count?

Oh yeah whew. That’s where I go. I rarely make it to the 716. Last time I did I snapped this picture.

Tell me about it. When I lived in the 716, we were so poor, we were reduced to eating Irish babies.

Those children don't look productive at all.

Yeah. When I lived there my dad had to buy a restaurant just so we could eat. Actually he was so poor he stole the restaurant.

Was he the guy in the founder?

  So can somebody who legally resides in NY sue Cuomo for damages for an irresponsible shutdown that cost the plaintiff his means to support himself?  Since I have no qualms with the federal government to this point we have nothing to discuss there.  I'm thinking that if Obama or Hillary were in the WH the response would have been similar.  In the case of those two they are much better speakers than Trump but that does not make them more intellectually capable.  

Mitch was saying something yesterday (again) about shielding businesses who reopen from liability. I wonder if a state already has that shield when it is part of a national disaster declaration?

If it were up to me I'd blame all those poor people in the 716.  

Are you going to share your report on the fastest growing part of America? The 716?
 

And other than GeeGee - notice most aren’t touching this or backing you up?

  In general I would say yes.  I was trying to jerk the chain of our resident 3rd chair.  But our legal system is based on precedents so maybe somebody could mount a legal challenge

That's not how this works.  But you know that.

Huh?  Fastest growing part of America report?  What are you talking about? 
 

I don’t need anyone to back me up. I would like you to show the data you used to come to the conclusion that the 716 is one of the poorest areas in America.  I showed my cards. Show yours.

You can sue anyone you want for whatever you want.  The big issue is whether you can win the lawsuit. (And, of course, don't conflate "culpable" with "liable.") 

 

The thumbnail sketch is that in his instance you would lose because the state acted in a governmental capacity, not a proprietary capacity, and you would need to show that the state owed you a special duty of care.  Here that's not happening.  So if you want to sue, go nuts.  Just don't harbor any delusion that you might actually win.

I guess she doesn't like it when someone exposes her hoaxes.  Sad!
