  2. All this happening while Basement Biden's buddy, John Kerry, takes his family's private jet to get on his family's private yacht -- neither one powered by solar or other alternative energy sources -- after creating an Executive Order to destroy oil and gas jobs across America. Both Biden and Kerry have a long history of making poor decisions.

  8. The least Doordash and other online delivery companies could do is to contribute to helping to prop up the restaurant industry.
    Their fees suck away most of what little profit margins those smaller operations have.

Don't worry about what they will want for rent each month. haha. Who's going to pay? Amiright? I am going to sign the lease, move in, and then not pay rent, because evictions are racist and evil. Free housing! Thanks Joe Biden!

  16. on the particulars of the proposed building at 4th and broadway, not sure, not worth any incentives or abatements, though, as the area is highly subsidized already and we should start to see returns to market rates after so many investments

    but also if they are talking about re alignments and future options to the footings of the buck o'neil bridge, just wonder how this tower would impact that

    on the issue of titfucker, I re read the post and although i initially assumed it was an insult, maybe it was not intended as an insult at all
