I’ll say it until I’m blue in the face, taxpayers should not have to kick in a dime on these stadium projects. If you can’t afford to build one as an owner, maybe you shouldn’t own the team.
@EllenburgSam@NickTomei15@BrettKollmann I think the Indy mayor wants to keep the team happy because it keeps the people happy, not because it creates economic value. We’ll have finished paying for Lucas Oil in 2037, in time to replace it with a new stadium, and it’ll have never generated a significant profit for us.
@EllenburgSam@NickTomei15@BrettKollmann Independent economists largely agree that the net economic impact of sports teams is negligible and that most spending on sports entertainment is redirected from other entertainment spending, so it’s not having any net impact on local economies.

Sports stadiums have no tangible economic benefit. Indiana will just be throwing taxpayer money away for no gain. All to make sure some billionaires don’t have to actually spend their own money.
Imagine blowing 30 years of search engine dominance—so much so that your website became a verb—only to kill your search engine in favor of a inferior product only tech bros and their sycophants like.
I lack the requisite wisdom to communicate to my friends and acquaintances that my self-isolation compulsion has been growing progressively worse, but that I want them to stick around anyway, but I also know it’s unfair to expect that of them if I’m hurting their feelings
Boomers demand to lecture you about not being frugal enough while they collect welfare and insist on tax exemptions the rest of us are denied. That's what this is ultimately about. Keep up.
Seniors (Boomers) need to either cut down on their spending or need to just sell their house
Idk what to tell you guys, be more responsible with your money.
A left-handed person dating a right-handed person is peak romance, actually. You get to hold hands and still wield your swords properly while fighting side by side against your enemies.
Renewable energy would likely be way easier to sell to conservatives if you pointed out the financial savings, cash flow predictability improvements, national security, national sovereignty, and personal independence benefits of harvesting energy from your immediate surroundings
@malfonkowitz@derpo377 Wikipedia is free. People are blaming Filoni because, despite not directing this project, he has a lot of control over Star Wars, and his influence has created some of the sloppiest work the franchise has seen—Mandalorian later seasons, Boba Fett show, Mando & Grogu, Ahsoka, etc.
