Hugo, your 27,000 posts so far on Surly will go down in the an(n)als of history as a great civic achievement.

It’s where the jobs, business industries etc. are. It’s the same reason DFW is overrun with out of staters. And it’s not because they dreamed of the Metroplex.
Go to Teterboro, White Plains, Morristown, Philly NorthEast, Martin State, Dulles and probably a few others I’ve neglected on Friday afternoon and you’ll find most of the super wealthy people you think love the NE so are getting the fuck out of the NE on the nearest available private jet.
Usually to that bastion of culture and fine living known as Florida.
Personally it’s Hooks for me and sadly it is usually to Florida. The economics of flying there vs WY is better (time and $$$).

Was sitting by my window wondering why their was a helicoptor hovering outside. Protest marching up 1st Avenue. All very peaceful. NYPD walking with them. No issues that I could see.
The only issue I see (from a week and half ago) is they are outside.

Edit: wrong thread.

And that....that shit...is why we are fucked.
The cops are doubling and tripling down. They WANT this fight. Because they WANT us to end up where they think we belong -- under their heel.
This is an enemy occupation military force, and they need to be expelled.
In some ways I take this as a positive. That guys letter should be making a majority of Americans, who have watched these riots the last few days, go WTF that is your response!?
The letter is something tangible and clearly shows where some of the systemic problems we see arise from. We should be able to fix this. That guy needs to lose his job and lose any authority to dictate or influence any type of policy.
State and Local authority figures need to single out this attitude and line of thinking toward the people who live in the community police officers are sworn to protect.Make it clear this is helping perpetuate the problem.
I mean the letter is crazy. The frikin guy has the audacity to post in writing Floyd's past as if it somehow condones his murder.

No, I’m not. If you’re part of the “I BACK THE BLUE!”, you did this. If you support a man who told cops they should smash suspects heads against the door of cop cars, you did this. If you excuse murder after murder of black men with whatever thin bullshit you can come up with (“if he’d have just listened, he’d be fine!”), you did this. You arrogantly thought that your way of thinking and being in this world could continue, consequence-free.
It fucking couldn’t. Plenty of us have warned against this shit for years, over and over. It we were just “being paranoid,” and “overreacting.” And now we all have to reap what you sowed. We’re reaping it in fire and blood and destruction. We get to lament that, but you don’t. You fucking helped it happen.I have not seen many voices supporting the blue and the murder of Floyd. Your words come across as passionate, and just but who is the "you" that you are addressing? Is it the center of the country? The fringes? The stereotypical right leaning supporter you have in your head?
I'd argue that the moral core of this country is disgusted by the murder of Floyd. This core is also disgusted by systemic racism and the looting and destruction of business across this country.
Partisanship is destroying the core of this country. The core we need to overcome the social issues we are seeing play out now and fix these issues so our country can heal. How can we be so divided when many of us agree Floyd was murdered, and the majority are shocked and dismayed by the violence and vandalism we have seen these past few nights? Partisanship is a primary culprit.
Please continue your message board tirades and hopefully leave them on this board. If you talk like this to people in person, you are doing your part to pull the center apart.

Are you watching videos of these protests right now? Because it doesn’t look like anyone actually gives a fuck about any of the things you just mentioned.
Must be listening to Don Lemon.

I’m wondering if nasa does internal projections on odds of a fatal accident on launch and re-entry. Those astronauts have huge, huge balls.
They do. This one was 1 in 247 (or 246) chance it ends badly.

You can't just look at daily positives. You need to also look at the number of tests being done as well. Also for some reason Texas mixes PCR and antibody tests results together which confuses the picture of how many new cases Texas really has. It seems NYT's might be taking the antibody number out of their results as they show 1,578 new cases vs 3,281 on the tableau site for 5/31.
