Re: Baltimore bridge collapses

Thanks for the anchor info. Makes sense. Question : when Biden promises the bridge will be rebuilt with federal money, I assume our effective federal govt firstly, or subsequently , will go after the shipping company who I assume would have insurance to cover the costs. Don’t stick the federal taxp...

Re: Sleuthing Digital TV Signal Problems

For about a week or so I was having that kind of problem with Channel 2 a couple months ago. Not sure if they were on an AUX or just running low power, but nothing had changed on my end and the problem went away.

Re: John Mellencamp is a self-righteous asshat

That people would spend more than about $50 on one of these shows is why these guys get a disproportionate sense of self-worth.

Re: Boeing Max jets are unsafe flying shit boxes...

No doubt negligence is a factor with Boeing and just about any other manufacturers of anything. But there just seem to be too many incidents in a short period of time to be statistically possible. Like a 100 year event, like a six sigma event almost every day. Sabotage and terrorism need to be inve...

Re: Another leaving WXYZ

Brian Abel leaving in May, next stop not yet announced. Memo went out to staff. Abel aside, its another example of how salaries have dropped so much, stations can’t keep talent for more than a few cycles. A 5/10pm anchor in this market used to make around 175-250K. You didnt need to “leave” to Chic...

Re: Weather Boys

I beg to differ. I’m under 40 and watch the news.

Re: After yesterday's speech, if you vote for Trump, you have blood on your hands

Could this be considered suggesting a 2nd insurrection attempt? If so, based on SCOTUS ruling, Congress can disqualify big orange from running. Considering there wasn't a "first" insurrection, you'd have to wait for one of those to occur before you could suggest a 2nd one. Unless you're thinking th...

Re: Haley walks back pledge to support the facist

Voting isn't rocket science. There are folks under the age of 21 who work full-time jobs and pay taxes. Those folks absolutely deserve voting privileges, in my opinion. It's not that the actual process is hard, it's understanding the implications. Lots of people -citizens- under 18 also work and pa...

Re: Haley walks back pledge to support the facist

"We" (society) can't even trust them with cigarettes, vaping, alcohol or functioning in a casino. Why should they be trusted with anything more important? All those ages are random, and really have no basis in fact or research. I know 17 year olds I would put in charge of my retirement account, and...

Re: GOP SOTU response

We could be at war with Russia if we aren't careful. So that's the same. Trump is threatening to suspend the constitution on day one in office and enact the insurrection act to use the military for some odd reason. If he does the 60s riots will be like a love in compared to what will go down. Sorry...

Re: Alec Baldwin shoots and kills a 42-year old woman

BMW, If an auto mechanic is grossly negligent by not bolting up a part correctly and you get in an accident which kills someone, does a prosecutor go after you? No This was an accident, and Baldwin was free of malice. He fired that prop as it was designed to be used. Even the 26 year old armorer di...
