    The disability stuff is probably unfair. Unlike SSDI the fact that he can farm oysters doesn’t make him ineligible for VA disability. But the ‘prolier than thou’ stuff was always a ruse. He was an upper middle class kid who went to a very fancy private school until he got kicked out. His father bought his house for him. He told friendly press that he only makes about 5k a year farming oysters and his mom’s restaurant is his only business. He makes almost 5k a month on disability.

    Yes, but they've closed the drapes so you can't see the havoc they wrought while you were out.

    @ShiroKuro said: How did you find this site? One of those daily news/interesting stuff newsletters. I don't subscribe to the newsletter anymore but happened to check their site a few days ago and this was one of the sites they featured on that day. RetroTv is a major rabbit hole....I just showed it to Mr wtg. I think he may surface in a couple of days...

    @RealPlayer I don't think it's unusual. Engineers figure it out. But what I've read is that the developers of this construction have racked up several violations and have deviated from agreed upon plans. Don't take my word for it though.

    My wife and I took a bike tour through Vermont circa 1977, mostly up Rt. 100, with an organized tour group. Then we continued by ourselves through New Hampshire and Maine. Those were the days…ah, youth! Vermont was really beautiful.

    We shouldn’t accept his framing. You don’t put a 747 in a library in downtown Miami which will probably be a hotel and casino anyway. He wants to keep the 747 for his personal use. That’s how it should be framed.

    @wtg said: in retrospect maybe it would have been better for him to get re-elected in 2020. He wouldn't have had four extra years to plan this out, and the next four after that to execute the plan. ugh, I never thought of it that way, but this is probably right.
