“In that world, nobody gives a shit if you smoke weed.” ..... I’m going to have to take issue with this. There’s still a hell of a lot of employers, including my own, that require drug testing upon offering a position and randomly or with cause during employment.

I fear not the fires of hell, for I have navigated the Ft. Pitt Bridge outbound after a Steeler game.

As with all debt, the devil is in the details. The 50+ million figure is less important than how it is structured, the security associated with it, the income he generates and how much of it is obligated toward debt service, etc. One would hope that considering he is more or less an industry onto himself, he hired…

And I oh so wanted to hear his sanctimonious lecture too....

“Loosen up no stiffness”
