Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
This whole thing where performative impoliteness has become acceptable / expected is abhorrent and likely to make me, and I would hope, other sane people, instantly support whatever the shitheads are yelling against.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
- Mouthpieces saying we shouldn't worry about this "right now" and the process 3 years from now will make it right. We've all been around long enough to see this in action and the neighborhoods left holding the bag as "it's too late" to change the plan. Yeah, it's not just a KC ...

Re: 1587 Prime - Steakhouse in Loews Hotel
Given that 80% of restaurants do just that, it doesn't seem like a very bold prediction there, Kreskin.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I don't entirely blame her, if the bulldozer was approaching the tips of my shoes I might be inclined to be irrational too. But yeah, she goes too far. I might also though, so I'm not sure I should get too bent out of shape about that either. I just don't care and won't listen to her. She has earned...

Re: wtf is happening to w. 39th?!
Aren't they still out in KS? Or did those finally fold too? They were never as good anyway in my experience.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I can't escape the sunk cost fallacy here. I'm not saying we made a mistake 50 years ago, but if we did, is it the right choice to keep making it forever, every (less than) 20 years? I don’t think we made a mistake. Hard to argue that these two sports teams haven’t done more for our cities reputati...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Technically it is financing, but it's not the kind I could go out and get, which makes me wonder why they don't just go to the bank? Because of interest fees, and the whole concept of paying it back? Gotcha. Well, that's insanely good financing if you can get it. They'd theoretically pay it back th...

Re: New Chiefs Stadium
I wanted to make a joke about Parsons consuming the transmuted blood and body of Christ in a strange ritual in order to accomplish this, but who knows, he may have actually done something like that. Anyway, I think it's a commutation.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I think this may be the most badly fumbled thing that had the potential to be an easy touchdown I've ever seen in my life. Even as a heavily skeptical and likely no-vote, I'm not happy about this. It's a really bad look. There's time, but not much, to turn things around, and I'm not sure even if we ...

Re: Would You Recommend KC?
I'm a work-from-home software engineer in his mid-40s, single, looking to make new friends, and hopefully never to be married again. I would probably recommend, because the arts and food/drink scenes punch way above their weight class imo, but those are things I care about. Things random idiots say ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I'm not really so cynical that I think of customers as victims, typically. But in a practical sense, it seems like we're just blood donors voting on where our plasma goes.

You’re not really comparing anything being torn down in this area of EC to Mayan and Aztec temples are you? It's not THAT ridiculous, is it? People with more money than I have come in and destroy everything that I built to extract money from people, and replace it with their shit built to extract m...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
It's a little hard to reconcile what they are trying to project with what they're actually saying.
