Actually “CEO” is a term that means “Chief Executive Officer”, and is usually the title of the person who leads a company, may it be big or small. Sometimes they scam their way to the top, but sometimes it actually does take hard work and accomplishment. Also they may not do the day-to-day nitty gritty, but managing…

Most people don’t want more density, traffic, shadows, rich people looking down on them in shiny new buildings, etc. They’re also afraid of a changing environment and think we should keep things as they are.

Maybe it’s not much different than zoning out pawn shops and check cashing establishments.

Has the West Chelsea development boom really lowered anybody’s rent?

I agree. My post was actually not sarcastic. Dubya WAS far better than this. Right after the election results came in, I was saying to myself, “we survived 8 years of Dubya, we can survive this.” But I didn’t realize exactly how insane and incompetent Trump and his crew are. I am legit worried now.

No they didn’t. GW’s was a largely lawless, fact-free, Administration that broke all kinds of standards and conventions — including the Geneva Conventions — to pursue an Imperial plan that is still paying “dividends” in a completely unstable Middle East. But EVEN THEY relied more on institutional norms than this…

We’re looking back at the Dubya years as “the good old days”. Yeah, Dubya was kinda dumb, but he meant well and he had smart, competent people around him. Cheney was a vicious sociopath, but he was at least loyal to the US. Yeah, they stole an election, but at least it wasn’t with Russia’s meddling.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

My Wife buys nothing but Quilted Northern. I used to think as you did, but much like heat and electricity I will never go back. My butt deserves Quilted Northern.

How do you even hold that much? Are you wrapping your forearms?

Come back and check on star count of these comments if you want some insight into how abnormal you are.

Eat the rich.

Rich people are not entitled to safety or property rights.

HamNo, what is the morally acceptable value of jewelry one can own?

Good point, HamNo. I’m sure the criminals will pawn the jewelry for 100% of it’s value, retain a small amount of the cash for rent payments and daily needs, then donate the majority to the local teacher’s union.

He was the worst of the cabinet picks, aside from Bannon (i don’t think Miller is considered cabinet but he may be the absolute awfulest). Aside from the Russia issue he actually believes Sharia law has been implemented in parts of the U.S. and his son, who apparently has no career on his own, is a total racist nutjob.

And this keeps his apparently-even-more-whackadoodle son away from things.

Now Flynn and his son can spend all their time on Pizzagate.

At least now Mike “Out Like” Flynn will have more time to investigate the Benghazi Pizza scandal.
