We are staying at theWit which looks like it's right across the street.

For my Chicago peeps.. what's it like there? I'm coming in the last week of January for the weekend to see a concert. Staying downtown next to the Chicago Theater where the show is. Flying into Midway Friday afternoon and will just spend the weekend downtown hitting up the typical tourist places before the show Saturday night. Are people masking everywhere and is it required?

I hope he opts out as that means he probably had a good 2 years and at that point let someone else take on the risk going forward.

I've only seen it once on the corporate side and it was in someone's Teams profile. But I wasn't sure if it was solely about gender preference or just a clarification because some of these names are hard to figure out if they are international. Is the idea that if you do not specify yours that you are a bigot?

Someone I know went to Germany and that’s how it was there. Nobody is really requiring it in the states. Maybe a store here and there and some schools and most doctor offices still. At least in the Detroit area.

I didn’t know what this was about until now. I just heard rumblings about her trying to sound french. I ask just said “the infrastructure bill” and noticed I said “thee”. I believe I say it like that for any instance the word after starts with a vowel. this has tan suit written all over it

With regard to MI’s numbers there was some kind of error on Wednesday which showed a dramatic drop and those cases were made up on Fridays totals. overall though I don’t really know what else there is to do but just accept what’s going to happen and hope vaccinating kids has a big impact. Masking is sporadic and I am thinking at this point does it matter? If 1/4 of people at any given time in a mall are wearing one then is it even effective? im starting to see places in doors ike sporting events and concerts where nobody has a mask so… is this it? It’ll be what it will be. Not sure waiting it out will take place. India has gone six months after their huge delta spike and that surprised me. Do they have immunity ?

The 83 Tigers won 93 games. Third most that year.

Ted Cruz was publicly more upset about Big Bird urging kids to get vaccinated than he was about Donald Trump calling his wife ugly. That tells you what you need to know. Nothing else is required. He’s a spineless cuck.

Their ideals are so appealing they need to fix it so they ensure election

I'm not an expert in legal matters.... but if the jury were to come back with a guilty verdict could this judge throw it out? Or tell them to go back and delibarate more until a not guilty verdict is reached? I am not certain that's out of the question of happening.

People are flush with cash from stimulus money and just general savings from working from home, lockdowns, etc. they are spending money and that’s increased demand and you add in worker shortages it’s a perfect storm.

Yeah I get it. Black teenagers need to learn where they are allowed to walk at night. Or else overzealous gun nuts might follow them and threaten them and don’t try to fight back because you will deservedly get shot because self defense at that point thats the logic they used in the south when they would lynch them. women also need to stop dressing a certain way and not leave the house after 9 and never drink at parties… yeah rape is wrong but why let them off the hook?

A stranger yelling and harassing you in the dark who is armed is a self defense situation. A person who initiates a physical confrontation loses the high ground on self defense when it comes to discharging their firearm in a lethal way. He’s exhibit A why more guns in the hands of citizens is a bad idea.

It’s no accident that this only gets analyzed from the perspective of George Zimmerman. What about Trayvon Martin’s ? he’s walking back from the store and some guy starts harassing him and gets physical so doesn’t he have a right to defend himself up to and including lethal force? Or is that rule only for non blacks? Why is Zimmerman allowed to kill someone but Martin has to hold back? Lethal Force can be one punch to the face. Martin was defending himself. The law as you present it makes no sense. If I wanted to kill someone I could just pick a fight with them and wait for them to start hitting back, take some blows until it gets rough then shoot them and claim self defense. Yeah. Makes sense.

So I can go push someone, get pushed back, then shoot him. Self defense. Zimmerman is a punk who has shown since then that he’s capable of murder. He attacked the kid and the kid fought back and the racist shot him in cold blood and Florida’s stupid law waved his ass. He is the one who deserved to die that night. Not some kid minding his own business.

George Zimmerman saw a black kid and confronted him, started to get his ass kicked , then shot him.

Speaking of roads... ever notice how people complain the roads are bad... then complain when they are fixing them? "I hate driving through Ohio... they're always doing road work" "Why can't MI roads be like Ohio?"

Basically to be a republican you have to be mad that Big Bird told kids to get vaccinated and you have to believe that JFK Sr will come back and annoint Donald Trump president again and make JFK Jr (still here) Vice.

the federalist though.... and what kind of "evidence" is required to to say Lets Go Brandon is MAGA version of Seig Heil? It's an opinion. Agree with it or not. That's how it works. You don't need evidence to state an opinion.

I’m not suggesting it’s a bad thing to sign one of these guys and that it will hurt the franchise… just that I’m ok if they don’t because of the risk. If they get someone on a 4-5 year deal… then cool.

No. Because then maybe they could have kept Scherzer. Don’t forget the money they paid to offload Fielder. The spending this team did to go for it resembled a degenerate gambler that figured they had no choice to go for it all at that point. It reaches a point where after you lose 3/4 of your money the final 1/4 is meaningless.

I'm open to the idea that the badges being deactivated during a situation like this out of protocol... what if they were stolen? Maybe this is a way to protect the office itself and not the person, meaning if the VP was either a part of it or God forbid, already incapacitatd?
