the country worships and serves the rich and grovels for crumbs from the table....and we should be grateful when some of the crumbs trickle down to us. but if they don't...serves us right for not being as awesome and rich as the billionaire gods.

Side note.  Have you seen the series Altered Carbon?  If not, you should.

Don’t piss and moan at me

be proactive and write your legislators 

If not, then you’re not part of the solution 

 

 

Many of our elected legislators sit on Twitter all hours of the day and evening wasting keystrokes on nonsense and blocking their constituents. The current american political process overall is joke status. It's ridiculous to put the onus on average citizens to make sure billionaires are not treating American government dollars like their own personal piggy bank. If you want to carry water for billionaires it is within your rights but just own it if that's what you're going to do.

we don't stand a chance against $$$$$. send letters, emails, tweets, call them, whatever...they don't look at that stuff. they hire people to "take care" of it so they don't have to. 

both parties have one goal...load up on cash and stuff the election war chests.

See. You understand reality and that was my point.

someone mentioned wanting change and “ I shouldn’t accept the way it is” blah blah blah

well you can start with a letter

quite a frivolous quest indeed, but nonetheless it may do more than trying to make accusatory statements on how I’m conspiring with billionaires to take away money that could have been used for the greater good and remodel the piggly wiggly.

So it's in the realm of possibility that our small voices could be heard?

I made a suggestion for the route if someone really wanted to make the effort as opposed to complaining about how things are and the way they believe things ought to be.

I mean... I am going to assume you've made purchases before, and I'd be willing to bet some of those purchases cam from stores who've made a few people billionaires.  We all have a hand in it whether you choose to agree or not, but it is what it is. It's unfortunate, but I don't think I need to remind anyone the US is the epitome of a mixed economy.

I live in Statesville. Iredell County ... the county north of Charlotte that no one ever talks about. Before COVID hit both Fairfield and Hilton built smallish hotels or large motels, depending on how you look at it, in Statesville off I-77. I don't know whether or not they've recovered well from the lockdown but Statesville has always had full occupancy during NASCAR weekends. Goes to show that a large regional events' impact goes much further than the events' actual location. It would be the same for any large scale NFL event in Charlotte.

I believe that the money spent for BOA's renovation and expansion is money well spent. But I also believe that part of the money should come from the state and not just the city of Charlotte because the impact goes beyond Charlotte. The sticking point may be the taxation involved. Also, the state should be involved because a good, reliable regional public transportation system needs to be installed. Currently, there basically is not one that functions well.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
