Haven't commented on the Jed York situation mostly because it just seems sordid. Besides what if he sought out prostitutes in East Palestine Ohio because he was subjected to power lines for too long?

The NFL regular season is almost upon us and honestly with the prices of game tickets, parking, beer and snacks at the stadium - going to a home game is getting beyond the reach of the average family. This is why watching at home or out at a bar is becoming more and more important. It's also may be the NFL pricing themselves out of attracting future generations of fans.

The current hysteria over AI and datacenters makes me think of the past hysteria over Amazon and how NYC was chosen to be the new East Coast hub but AOC used that hysteria to get Amazon to take their thousands of jobs elsewhere instead. Now NYC got communism. It's all related.

On the bight side - I'm older and won't have to deal with these issues. Then I start to wonder if it's this sort of attitude that got us into the problem in the first place.
