You remind me of the poor communicators who always tell other people they're not listening when the listeners don't understand something and never think it's the way they present things.
If you're making what you think is an obvious whatever and no one gets it, maybe look in the mirror. Or maybe you shouldn't waste your time on a board that only idiots read.
It must be great to be able to feel superior, eh?
Chicago's a great city, I've only been there a few times, but have loved it.
Oddly enough, I live in NYC, yet am unaware that it's burning down. Did you happen to catch which neighborhood that is, or perhaps the borough? Also, odd, that despite your reports, real estate prices here have been rising.
I might also add that my brother lives in L.A. and despite our many recent conversations, I'm pretty sure he's unaware of it burning down, or at least hasn't mentioned it. So, maybe let me know more details and I'll pass them along to him.
On the other hand, it could be that you live in some miserable flyover shit hole area and can only deal with your lack of a life by making stuff up. If I'm wrong and you can provide me with some more info, I'd be grateful and apologize.
Rabbis communicate with the Supreme Being and with their congregants and are versed in religious writings. Where did you get the idea that they're experts on other interpersonal relationships?
Are priests?
Minority rule! We've been heading that way, in theory, since the beginning of the country. The Electoral College and Senate both make a mockery of the idea of one person one vote.
And yet, some still argue with a straight face that secession was all about states' rights, not slavery.

This, from a former American VP, no less:

The idea of Texas seceding is interesting, I'm all for it.
After the Civil War, Jefferson Davis was in jail for a relatively short amount of time and was never brought to trial. He later went on to work in an insurance company in Memphis.
The theory is that the Feds didn't want to try him because they were afraid they would lose the case about secession being unConstitutional.
Bye bye Texas, more Congresspeople, money, and sanity for the rest of us.

Davis' wife, Varina, the First Lady of the Confederacy, eventually came to her senses and spent the remainder of her life in NYC.
Then clearly over my head.
Why? I truly don't get it, but to each their own. Enjoy!
Ok, we can agree on that. No Trump golf course beer for $25 but maybe yes to a possible $25 beer at a fundraiser. Onward and upward.
Oh right, you're the guy who's going to set the moral boundary on prices that can be charged for things. How's that going, by the way?
I recently heard about a restaurant that was charging like $150 for a dinner, with wine, which is clearly an obscene amount. I'm wondering if you want it's name so you can report them or write something bad or put them on a list?
Examples please, or keep my handle out of your mouth / keyboard / posts.
Maybe, though, you aspire to wider recognition as a boring cheap shot artist?
Exactly. And I'm still pissed at Cruz (of course) among others about Superstorm Sandy. After the Northeast got shellacked by that storm, a few weasels in the Senate (R's), demanded budget offsets before they would approve aid. Not so much when disasters hit their own states.
We have a technical term we use for guys like that in New York. We call them, "fucking assholes".
I'm really not sure to what you are referring.
AT&T bought HBO, if you have them as a provider you get free HBO Max. I've had it for a couple of years and haven't been charged at all for it.
First, I'm not watching your dopey videos. Second, you have no idea how any commodity markets work. Third, keep repeating a lie and you'll start believing it yourself, even if no on else does. Fourth, Trump:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/12/business/energy-environment/opec-russia-saudi-arabia-oil-coronavirus.html
Fifth, you have no credible source that agrees that it's Biden's fault.

Please don't waste our time posting shit from Newsmax or Breitbart.
"The price of oil bottomed out in spring 2020 during the Covid-19 crash, but today a barrel of oil fetches almost $130 in the U.S., with higher prices a direct result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine—aided by strong consumer demand as the world moves on from Covid-19 and weak supply as the leading oil-producing nations throttle output." - Forbes
That's great. So when the power grid there fails next year or when there's a killer storm or environmental disaster (another one) there, let them go to Mar a Lago and ask Dear Leader for emergency funds.
You live in Texas, right?
This shit is flat out scary:

Also, if you use AT & T phone service you get HBO Max for free.
Yours is an ignorant post.

You can read that explicit subsidies, which don't include tax breaks made up 8% of the $5.9T total. Which comes to several billions of dollars of non-tax break subsidies.
I mean if you have a link to dispute the amount, that would be one thing to discuss, but just to bluster about it is silly.
Seriously? You can make sense of it?
You think this is deep?:
"You see, jail is a repository for what society considers immoral behaviour."
There is simply no consensus on immoral behavior, it's certainly not codified in law. One of the underpinnings of the Constitution is, theoretically, to protect us from the morality police. Else, the Taliban.
Please help turn Texas blue and reverse its race to the bottom (politically). With the influx of high tech companies and their employees, and retirees from blue states, it will be eventually. The sooner the better. Just saw this, from Raw Story:
"Meeting at their first in-person convention since 2018, Texas Republicans on Saturday acted on a raft of resolutions and proposed platform changes to move their party even further to the right. They approved measures declaring that President Joe Biden “was not legitimately elected” and rebuking Sen. John Cornyn for taking part in bipartisan gun talks. They also voted on a platform that declares homosexuality “an abnormal lifestyle choice” and calls for Texas schoolchildren “to learn about the humanity of the preborn child.”"
Texas always wants to secede until there's a major storm or some other sort of catastrophe. Then Cruz and Abbot and the rest of them come running to the Feds for money.
It's like a bratty adult kid who lives at home and won't contribute a fair share to household expenses but complains about everything all the time.
If you had the money to lawyer up for all those court levels, maybe you should have just paid your taxes and been a good citizen.
Clearly you have the money, how can you take pride in not wanting to pay your fair share? Trump envy, I guess.
Ok, got it, and I agree that anyone who would pay $25 for a Tump Beer needs counseling asap.
And, clearly, his existence is a threat to the planet.
Poor oil companies:

Those mean climate change believers are ruining the lives of oil company execs.
I wonder why anyone would think that anyone else is trying to put energy companies out of business. That makes no sense.
https://www.businessinsider.com/gas-prices-oil-company-profits-skyrocketing-energy-sector-earnings-charts-2022-5#:~:text=The%20authors%20of%20the%20Center,profits%20in%20just%20three%20months.%22
How can a living, conscious, primate be convinced to take up the cause of energy companies, they seem to be doing ok on their own.
Right, the real dangers are the venues that pick up his vocal vomit and spread it on social media and the internets. In that way, his influence is outsized in relation to his actual audience size.
He's like a troll on television, maybe the first and foremost of his kind, just trying to get stupid ideas mainstreamed by repetition in other media.
The situation is that in America, stupid people get freedom of speech, and freedom to listen to that speech, and then they can vote. And there are a lot of them.
Still not sure what this has to do with a $25 beer. How much should we be allowed to spend on a bottle of good wine, say? $15? $50? $100?
At what point, do you reckon, that expense is immoral? You should really publish of list of things that will explain how much a moral amount for each one is. Then we could all be on the same page.
I get how golf and Trump are connected and how the Saudi clan and golf are connected. But Trump was just a useful idiot for them, they are not intimately linked to each other.
And that has to do with the price of a beer, how? Yours is a tiresome technique, pivoting on an issue to make someone else look unread or unable to deal with nuance.
Obviously, genius, an unfettered capitalist society is bad for people and the planet. But if someone is willing to spend $25 on a beer, that bothers you because climate change or something?
If the discussion is about income inequality, that's real. But whining about the high cost of a beer somewhere and trying to extrapolate that into a symbol of something that threatens mankind makes no sense. No matter how frequently you post.
Tucker who? You mean that rich kid brat who's on tv?
He draws about 3M viewers a night, the American population is something like 332M, so a whopping 1% of people tune into his clown show. In the words of Derrick Coleman, "whoop de damn do".
How so? Should the government, maybe, step in and put a cap on prices?
What's your problem with people spending their money the way they choose? We either have a free market economy or we don't.
I'm guessing that you probably think the government should control women's bodies, too.
Nor does anyone else outside her inner circle. I guess, maybe, she thought she could have a shot at being selected as VP, then move on up?
What opinion of others? That Franken deserved to be drummed out of Congress? That Gillibrand has integrity?
NY State has a record of electing some of the worst officials at every level. D'Amato, Pataki, Giuliani (a truly horrible man, even as Mayor), Zeldin, Gillibrand, Silver, Skelos:
https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2016/sep/19/elaine-phillips/new-york-has-been-most-corrupt-state-decades/
Hers was the worst sort of petty jealousy. Franken's a Harvard grad, was head writer (and a performer) on SNL, and has written a few best selling books. Gillebrand is a Dartmouth grad and I guess was afraid of being eclipsed by Franken.
Compare that to Dear Leader or, now, Walker, who's wife claimed he came at her with a gun. Or Judge Moore who was chasing hight school girls or Gaetz or Escort Bobert (not that there's anything wrong with being a sex worker). Democrats have a mastery of the circular firing squad.
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/04/from-hastert-to-gaetz-lets-talk-about-republicans-and-sex-crimes.html
I'll never forgive my Senator, Gillebrand, for running Franken out of Congress, basically without due process. I generally vote the straight Democratic line but not for her.
Franken would have made a good candidate for President, he's very intelligent and media savvy. Gillebrand has, or had, her own Presidential ambitions and "some people were saying" that she acted to get rid of a competitor for a future nomination.
Send it to fuagf for all the work he does cleaning up the messes around here.
Honestly, I have no interest in knowing about your life and really can't see how you can possibly think that.
And, if I did have an interest in knowing about your life, you should feel flattered.
The subject was not greed in the marketplace, as that is undefinable. The subject was your objection to large profits made in short amounts of time in real estate.
If someone is greedy, by whatever standard, and someone else pays the greedy person's asking price, what does that have to do with your life? LOL.
"Fuck that greedy rapper and the real estate agent/broker and city tax assessor they rode in on."
No, not angry at all, just an impartial hypothetical, amirite?
As far as I can tell you seem to think it's bad that some people charge too much for some stuff and other people spend too much to buy that stuff at the asking price. But why that bothers you remains unclear.
Actually, I don't wonder and it would be hard for me to care less "that people sometimes come down on you (me)".
You failed to answer any questions, you just keep repeating the same stuff.
For example, why would you be mad at the seller in your hypothetical real estate deal? Should he have asked for less than the realtor estimated? Or the buyer, for that matter, if he wants to overspend on a property. What should be the top price asked for a property bought 3 years ago at $3M that would suit you? And why would you care about any of this?
And, finally, how exactly do imaginary sale prices of imaginary properties negatively impact your taxes?
Never mind, no thinking needed, just keep the snark coming, it's very entertaining.
"Fuck that greedy rapper and the real estate agent/broker and city tax assessor they rode in on."
No, not angry at all.
