Dr. Oz: The uninsured “don’t have the right to health,” but should be given “a way of crawling back out of the abyss” with “15-minute physicals” provided by the government “in a festival like setting.”

@brucebarry No new stadium will make people pay a premium to watch a terrible team.

Secondary ticket market paints a vivid portrait of an NFL franchise in serious disrepair. $6!

President Trump and Conservatives in the House and Senate have a mandate to secure our borders, fix our economy, end the war on American-made energy, reassert our strength around the world, and put America First again.
On January 20, a new era begins in our country!

@jc_bradbury Congratulations. How close is that to the 7th horseman of the apocalypse? Cousins?

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I am "the living embodiment...of the Coalition of Doomsayers."
Eric Goulet@EJGoulet
@jc_bradbury J.C., You are the living embodiment of category 2 of the Coalition of Doomsayers. Your fellow "economists" in those surveys aren't looking at DC stadiums. But don't take my word for it. Come to DC from Marietta, GA and see for yourself. (1/3)

@3Sentinel4 @humantransit @clmarohn People have been complaining about infrastructure for decades, with no improvement to condition.
English
@humantransit @clmarohn Development occurs on marginal farmland.
I also don't buy 3. It's not a research finding, it's a YouTube video claim.
4: people in cities are still pretty fat.
I agree with 2

See, this is the problem.
Downsides of electric self driving sprawl:
1. consumption of land needed for agriculture and nature,
2. microplastic pollution from tires,
3. financially unsustainable infrastructure (see @clmarohn),
4. obesity because nobody walks.
etc.
Sentinel@3Sentinel4
@humantransit I don't really see the downside of sprawl when we have self driving EVs

@kenklippenstein Harris didn’t kiss the ring. And now the teamsters will get decimated by conservative government. Good job.
English
Teamsters union president says Kamala Harris told him, "I'm gonna win, with you or without you."

@NoogaHoller @ToddGardenhire I don’t know how business-minded conservatives get confused about this. Our economy (ag, construction, service) is built on undocumented immigrants.
English
Tennessee Senator @ToddGardenhire (R) has filed a bill that says “Tennessee law enforcement could be fined if they don't report undocumented immigrants to federal officials.”
Again: If their mass deportations actually happen, our economy will crater. fox17.com/news/local/ten…

@SenSherrodBrown Thanks for advocating for working Ohioans, Sherrod.
English
It's been an honor to fight for Ohio and the Dignity of Work in the United States Senate.
Thank you, Ohio.

A $600 MILLION wedding.
And they wonder why we want to eat the rich. 😂

@jc_bradbury And with the next administration planning to downsize federal workforce, it’s probably not the time to be planning a project like this.

How does the availability of a legacy site give DC a "long-overdue seat at the table" regarding the Commanders location? Is someone *owed* an NFL team? Are there are no other locations the team could have built a stadium? This attitude of entitlement needs to stop.
Ben Standig@BenStandig
Statement from an NFL spokesperson: “We appreciate the bipartisan group of Congressional leaders who made this important breakthrough possible. Washington D.C. will now have a long-overdue seat at the table when it comes to the location of a new Commanders stadium.”

As Trump sues newspapers for saying things he doesn’t like & Republicans criminalize Republicans who tried to hold him accountable, it would be nice if Tennessee outlets would ask elected TN Republicans if they support all this.
(Don’t bother with @AndyOgles, he obviously does)

UPDATE: The Book and Cover cut ties with Pizzeria Cortile.
English
@jc_bradbury That’s why we pay taxes in money; you can use it for basically everything.
English
Reminder: Taxes are arbitrary and malleable legal mechanisms for extracting wealth from a jurisdiction. No matter how funds are collected, public spending lowers the amount of wealth for spending on other things, including rebuilding homes.
English
People don't seem to understand where public funding comes from.
Patrick@pattyb_09
@_j3r3my_T @WelchPiles @jc_bradbury @ComChrisLatvala I know you don’t care about reality, but the county’s money for this can’t go to rebuild people’s homes or anything like that. It has a very specific set of uses.

@StadiumShadow In the Rays defense, city and county collectively act stupid.
English
Former St. Pete Mayor Bill Foster torches Sternberg in late night post:

@StadiumShadow @d_russ Also, great outcome. Lose a poor performing stadium and get development.
English
LIKELY OUTCOME: The Rays new stadium deal is dead, as the County does not want to approve $312.5M in bonds following extensive hurricane damage.
Team owner Stuart Sternberg can now sell or move the team while still profiting from redeveloping the 80 acre Tropicana Field site.
English
I don't think people understand the contempt that pro sports team executives have for people who aren't them. Just a totally classless thing to say at this moment.
J.C. Bradbury@jc_bradbury
If you express anything other than sincere gratitude after someone agrees to give you $300+ million, you are complete asshole.
English
@NoogaHoller You’re being pretty tough on them. As a supporter of same sex marriage, I’m okay with their decision.
English
Pizzeria Cortile responds by claiming their decision to not cater same-sex weddings is "one they hold without judgement towards others," which is a wild thing to say while actively holding judgement towards others.

We’re supposed to cry over a dead insurance CEO when there’s been 314 school shootings this year alone. Fuck these ghouls.
