    They need to make a concerted effort to be politically fair. If a concert or play has public funding, it should be fodder for public tv or radio. Affiliates should be better at sharing programming, especially in radio. Nashville could probably generate multiple programs as could NYC and LA. Public radio and TV should be the official EBS. For radio, issue some new AM 50K Clear Channel licenses.

    I really do not understand why it’s so difficult to remove them. They have no legal right to be there and they’ve done damage.

    But it’s a reminder that this did happen on Pete’s watch. Maybe he was paying too much attention to keeping airplanes safe.

    Don't pay much attention to most economists. They're wrong about so much..

    @NobodySock said in Destiny, is it a real thing?: @Copper said in Destiny, is it a real thing?: Sardinia offers €15,000 (about $16,200 USD) to those who move to a rural area and renovate a home. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/nri/migrate/17-places-around-the-world-that-will-pay-you-to-move-in/sardinia-italy/slideshow/111550949.cms many have made mention to this deal Italy has going on trying to reinstigate population growth in depressed areas of the country, mostly small towns that are near ghost towns now as the kids, when done with school all end up moving out of country for work. There are sticky rules to take such an offer though. One would be required to pay for renovations desparately needed in these homes in question. much more than the 15K. Yes, I have seen those offers of a house for a euro. From a distance, looks like fun, but I am sure that the reality is not quite as fun. LOL

    Mostly just incomplete. But remember the wisdom of the philosopher Charlie Sheen - you don’t pay them to sleep with you. You pay them to go home afterwards.

    Bill Barr is educated, experienced, and accomplished. He is also correct, when he agrees with me.

    I saw a similar map (which I cannot find now. aargh) which compared the GDP of Silicon Valley to the fifty states (did not include our 51st state - Canada. LOL). Anyway, the GDP of Silicon Valley was higher than the GPD of at least 35 states. But, as was pointed out by folks like @89th and @Jolly, it is a "symbiosis" relationship. One would not survive with out the other.

    @jon-nyc said in Mirror, mirror on the wall….: I have mailed him letters to his home and every time I’m in a Hyatt I remind them to let him know. If you have any fault, it's that you care too much.
