@Infinite_2378 @shagbark_hick Buffalo has nothing...it's a crap hole as well...

@shagbark_hick Well the fact is NYS gov stopped caring about upstate once all the manufacturing jobs left. The urban decay in those cities is real and it’s getting worse. Syracuse at least has the campus to fall back on. The other cities have nothing, except for maybe Buffalo.

Case in point here is Upstate NY. This place should be a paradise. It's superlatively gorgeous -- maybe the most beautiful place east of the Mississippi -- and fertile. The housing's cheap, there are OK jobs, soil's fine, life is easy. But people here are MISERABLE. Daily interactions involve leering, awkward staring, cold shoulders, nervous energy. Loner-hermit types avoid others; elderly are crotchedy and skittish. DinerGoth types are lurking, vaping, being gay, mumbling to themselves in the Stewart's parking lot. No one's stopping to chat, no one's your friend, everyone is kind of tense in public. Guys are shooting up on the street in Watertown, Utica, even Tupper Lake. Any cop will tell you WEIRD, dark stories about what goes on here. The Kulak class is overtaxed; the State Workers dream of Florida once the pension hits. Young guys are all planning to move to South Carolina, Texas. Local government is a good old boys club for the dumbest, most cynical drunkards in each county. The whole vibe is "soviet." Except in lib enclaves, where the vibe is "tense, judgemental, 'in this house we believe', paranoid about MAGA, cloistered." And so this place is cheap, low-rent, undesirable. Gentrifiers try to come but they don't stay here. This place resists any attempt to "reinvigorate" it. The dysgenic darkness hangs over every inch of it; no amount of bright-eyed yuppies can fix it. Albany can't fix it. It's all graft, corruption, awkward stammering parochial nutcases wandering the streets in between disability checks. The residents of so many places here are the genetic remnants of those who didn't have the gumption or the brains to go West when the time came, and it shows. Literally the best move we have is to pay people to LEAVE. If I was the governor I'd allocate massive amounts of money towards this. I'd straight-up pay people to clear out, get out of here, move along. I'd pay their moving expenses, send them to Florida or whatever. And we'd flourish.

Muscle car scam alert! Important information for you. You might already know this, please pass this on.

@cpnys When legislators or any government functionary want a raise...it NEEDS to be put to a vote by the people...I've never been able to go to a supervisor & tell them this what you're going to pay me whether you like it or not...

I would like to ask a favor from y’all. It really won’t cost you much, just a minute or two of your time. I’m within 200 followers of 30k. That’s a major milestone for me. I never expected to make it this far. If I can get y’all to repost one of your favorite posts of mine, it will be greatly appreciated. This is me, smiling.

@UltimateMopars Not original... '64...'65...'66 Only had 273's v8's...2 versions...180 hp 2bbl...235 hp 'Commando'...

Like, Love or Leave? 1965 Barracuda 4-Speed with a 360 engine. I like how they added a pistol grip shifter to the car. Except for the painted bumpers I really liked this car.

@TruckerDanUSA 15 grand...max...But personally I wouldn't buy it at all...

Beautiful 1968 Dart GTS, a couple of minor inconsistencies. Not the original engine, now it’s a 4 speed instead of auto. Since they had already dinged the value, why not put a 5 speed in it?

Encountered a mutant albino squirrel on my way to work this morning. What does this symbol portend?!

@TruckerDanUSA HEMI...

Different again. But truck style.

Wishing everyone a very Happy Holiday! 🎄☃️❄️

@MikeyV1960 @MusicJim2 Micky Dolenz & Davey Jones started with the Monkees as actors...not musicians...the transformation from actors to musicians is great!...

@MusicJim2 Absolutely loved them and still do. They could all play and they could all sing.

The Monkees 🎩🪄 (I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone (2001) Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork, Mike Nesmith, absent. But watch closely, they are playing, often maligned, yet history nods back: Jimi Hendrix opened for them on tour in 1967. 🎸✨ #HappyFriday😎
