and just to play Devil’s Advocate - George Wallace was a Democrat (except for his 1968 run as an independent).

Hey, I’m a New Balance guy and proud of it. For several reasons. I have big feet and they offer wide widths than fit better than Nike. And they were last hold out of athletic shoes manufactured in the US.
and I’ve noticed white shoes are making a comeback

We need that “like” button back.
Simple formula. If you can’t talk about your policies - you buy votes.

Correct - price controls are not socialism but it is a flawed economic policy that has a proven track record of failure.

Once again the party of “equality” is proposing programs of inequality.
I graduated with zero student loan debt. Where’s my equitable bailout?
I didn’t get $25k for buying my home. Where’s my equitable reward.

Just like student loan forgiveness, it’s just another scheme to buy votes.
To my Democratic friends on TUSCL. I get it. Trump has more baggage than a stripper going to Vegas for week, but how can anyone justify voting for a candidate who is more liberal than Bernie Sanders. (When Sanders never polled greater than 20%).
If y’all want Socialism - move to Cuba.

As others have mentioned, the real issue is not how the dancers treated the patron but accessibility. I’ve seen wheelchair bound customers a few times. It’s been in newer, larger, upscale clubs so they met all the ADA requirements so parking and getting in the building was fine. But once inside, tables are often so close to each other, it can be hard to get to the stage and maneuver around.
But they’ve been treated well. Often the prettiest dancers in the club did not at all hesitate to go over and ask for a dancer.
I did not see this myself, but my ATF told me a story about a young man who was injured in an accident and received a huge liability settlement. For 3 straight days he was at the club getting VIP dances.

This is a weird thread. Started with a story about a guy using a word that offends some, to talk of jerseys, to a comment about capitalism is bad. CJK needs a new narrative

There was a common Polish saying during the USSR years: “We pretend to work; they pretend to pay us.”
Socialism encourages laziness and lack of innovation and laziness. CJK is just a useless academic who needs to get out of his wealthy parent’s home and get laid

Been a couple of years since I’ve been near downtown and the Loop, but is anywhere in Chicago safe these days? It’s not like the southside but there’s constant news reports of the Magnificent Mile experiencing a significant up tick in crime

Serious question.
Is Harris smart enough to be president?
I know I’m not. She won’t talk to the media. Will she debate? Even her own staffers say she won’t read the material they prepare for her. We’ve all seen her word salad performances in the past where she talks in circles and won’t (or can’t) answer questions.
It’s not about race. It’s not about gender. It’s a serious question about her intellect. Which is quite different than the questions we had about Biden and his cognitive decline

We are all going to have to skip breakfast. Saw a sampling of items that have increased astronomically under Biden and the list includes: eggs, bacon, bread / baked goods

I wish I could be as confident as you. The progressive exuberance of having a black female candidate seems to be reenergizing the party and Kami keeps denying her past extreme liberalism so I’m scared this cackling looney toon could really be elected

Kamala is on record of saying she supports the elimination of private health insurance and wants a single payer system.
Please post pics and videos of you burning your health insurance card.

Luckily I’ve never done this, but even worse is when I’ve witnessed the dancer walking the customer over to the ATM and hovering over the PL while he’s getting the funds

Hank MoodyI'm fine. I'm disgusted with my life and myself, but I'm not unhappy about that.
The men’s 4 x 100 relay is an embarrassment. They haven’t won a medal since 2004 and was DQ’d this year.
Apparently they feel they can just put anyone out there and dominate without practicing handoffs.
