So Obama proposes a plan to an org than is known for saddling cities in debt and they turn the plan down. Trump ‘gave them what they wanted to hear’ and got the deal done. High IQ business moves right there.

    I, for one, am eternally grateful that we get to use our tax dollars to build a giant arena to host underpaid, soon-to-be-discarded prime examples of talent who can shit, fuck, and possibly die at our facilities before we never use them again.

    We win!

      In Vancouver we turned one of the skating rinks into a multi use community facility that hundreds of people use every day. (see another one of my comments)

      Good shit can come out of the games if your city plays it’s cards right. But I don’t blame you for being skeptical lol. The games were pretty controversial back in the game day.

        That’s actually fantastic to know! Obviously, that’s not the norm, but keep shouting that from the rooftops to remind people that we’re capable of doing better.

        Thank you for proving me wrong today!
