I guess it’s sort of clever that Vegas is going to pay for the new stadium on the backs of visitors. (Unlike say, Cleveland, their main industry actually is tourism.)
And NFL players / support personnel won’t get dinged for NV state income tax for games played in Vegas, so I guess that’s a good thing. OTOH, it provides an additional disincentive for me to visit Vegas (not that I’ve gone there often).
Still don’t like that multi-billion sports organizations get subsidized with tax dollars, as A) I’m not a consumer, and B) I find it morally reprehensible as I firmly believe that all taxation is theft. (I’m willing to tolerate a small amount as a necessary evil but politicians are nearly all money pigs.)
Happy Hump-Day, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Fatwa, and Sven!
If that little penguin can do it, so can we!
Every time I look at the local taxes added to my hotel bill, I think, “You’re charging me to visit your city? It’s not enough that I’m spending money here?”
Part of the reason the Congressional GOP filth rejected the attempt to scale-back Obamacare last week is it would have shrunk Medicare. Which would reduce their power.
Lucky me -- getting to experience up close and personal the circle of death or life or whatever. That mouse or rat or whatever that died a few weeks ago that I could never find has fulfilled its purpose as a host for maggots and now I got a bunch of flies to contend with.
“Sure, let’s go over to Sven’s place. They are always so hospitable and their house is always so clean and tidy.” Spit.
Happy Wednesday, Wheelizens!
Cali --
That’s a helluva big fish your boy caught.

Tumbrels. Gibbets. Cleansing fire.

Criminy, Sven, that really blows.
Maybe leave some honey out? (Don’t know if that’ll actually work, but it’s arguably better than leaving sh¡t out.)
Too soon?
