Minneapolis council proposes to boost tourism by… imposing new tax on tourism
thegeneral replied to easilyscan's topic in The Geek Club
Apparently a lot of people. Minneapolis sold a record 680,000 hotel rooms during summer 2024, according to Meet Minneapolis, setting post-pandemic highs for summer occupancy, room demand and room revenue. The occupancy rate last August was over 70% — the highest since October 2019. I go there for work a few times a year. Lots of big businesses HQ there. Great food town. -
Minneapolis and state leaders prepare for possible Derek Chauvin pardon

Something like 50%-60% bonds, 20% dividend ETF’s and Index funds, 10% cash.

This isn’t hard. The people who did this fraud are scumbags. Somalis (or whoever) who are working, going to school, paying taxes, raising kids, etc are normal people.
-
This law did that outside of this age difference. If people don’t agree with that distinction that’s fine. That is not some bullshit that lawmakers are refusing to pass laws and are instead protecting sex traffickers and that Democrats are in some cabal to steal children’s blood or whatever.
-
I assume it would be for say a 19 year old having sex with an 17 year old girl since that language was added about the age difference.. The poster I responded to seemed to be implying that law makers were somehow encouraging sex trafficking in some underhanded manner.
-
This is not correct. Here’s the law that was passed: AB 379 (2025): Initially, this bill aimed to make soliciting sex from 16- and 17-year-olds a felony, aligning penalties with those for younger minors. However, concerns about over-criminalization led to the removal of this provision. Following public backlash and pressure from Governor Newsom, lawmakers reached a compromise: felony charges would apply if the offender is at least three years older than the minor, with added safeguards to prevent misuse.

Minneapolis very underrated city. Per usual many GC members are crazy. News at 11.

LIBERATION DAY: USA and China agree to a 90 day pause on most new tariffs
thegeneral replied to The Real timschochet's topic in The Geek Club
Sorry RLLD, trade wars are over. These will be a foggy memory by the Fall. Trivial changes will be made, they’ll help some places and hurt in others in ways we won’t know for a bit. Good riddance and let’s get on a heater here. -
There goes the neighborhood JK welcome back! We are primed for a good run!! Or it could all go titts up. I’m feeling good about the former. Trade war bullshit is over. Inflation is staying low, Powell is talking about lowering rates. Let’s light this candle, give us one more run of a few years before I go old man investments!!

Trump Corruption Thread - Qatar ‘gifts’ Trump a luxury jet
thegeneral replied to squistion's topic in The Geek Club
If those dirtbag shitbirds could rub a few nickels together I’m sure Donald would ride in a plane they bought for him too…instead he has to settle for milking their welfare checks for Chinese made hats, maga flags, and Trumpy bears -
Hi there Google. Welcome to the gains club!

Being up is great. Love that. But a good lesson is that it’s not recommend to leave completely.

Trump Corruption Thread - Qatar ‘gifts’ Trump a luxury jet
thegeneral replied to squistion's topic in The Geek Club
Yikes: “Saudi Arabia played a significant role on the 9/11 slaughter of our people. I didn’t hear their Crown Prince even apologize once yesterday for what they did to us. And I know the 9/11 families are reeling from this. And Qatar protected the leader of the 9/11 attack from the FBI, before he was able to launch his war on America that killed our people. The debate about whether the plane is a legal gift is beside the point. Qatar is a terrorist regime that has murdered Americans. I cannot let bygones be bygones and those Americans who suffered the consequences of what these monarchies did cannot either. I can’t stop thinking about all the innocent people who went to work that day, and were on those planes, and all the firefighters and police officers who died horrible deaths.” -
Trump Corruption Thread - Qatar ‘gifts’ Trump a luxury jet
thegeneral replied to squistion's topic in The Geek Club
It can’t be both? How dumb is this response He wants to take the jet and ride around in it like their betch, I’m sure the oil sheiks tricked it all out put in gold toilets and all the stuff he likes…and to get it up to spec will cost a shitload. Do you want the Prez to just take the keys and hop in the thing? -

thegeneral replied to easilyscan's topic in The Geek Club
I’m not sure why they are saying it would boost tourism (are they spending that money on some tourism marketing plan or something) but the extra 6 bucks a night or so for a hotel I doubt is changing people’s vacation plans. -

He runs to assclown Hannity for coverage Bravo. That guy’s head would have exploded while he simultaneously blew his wad if this were a Dem doing this and the crypto scam dinner. -
Swimming in blue jeans also an unusual add to the story

Coming from the Bud Light crowd this is pretty funny Anyhoo…we’ll see what Tesla has up their sleeve. I’m not really rooting for them or against them in particular. If Elon is promising some big feature though and people are investing in that buyer beware!

Pete Rose, 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson among players reinstated by MLB
thegeneral replied to Mike Honcho's topic in The Geek Club
Agreed. Juicers could go in alive. I’d put in Pete and Joe now as well too. Definitely throw this info on their plaques.
