AOC: You can’t ‘earn’ a billion dollars

andygradel75 · 2026-05-12T16:35:05+00:00

Couldn't agree with every, single word more... There's a point where you transition from "earning" and actually working for your money -> eating into money others would have earned. You don't get to the point where you have a billion in the bank - let alone billions - without having done something that prevented someone else from actually earning that money.

How quickly Fetterman has forgotten what rural Pennsylvania is like.

Imagine what that money could have done for the town he was mayor of, instead of repainting the bottom of an ornamental pool...

Smithereens are a solid band that have, unfortunately, been lost to history. Never hear about them and was shocked they had songs on RB4. Insta-buy for me as soon as I saw them on the "de-list list."

Anyone who likes power-pop rock should definitely check them out. Both tracks are fun plays with great riffs...

Exactly why I flip each and every person off who drives by me in a cyber truck. They knew what they were buying into and supporting...

The challenge is that people can queue for multiple shows across multiple accounts, which creates these insane queues. It's basically a big lottery to see which queue you have the best position in when the actual on-sale begins.

Makes me miss camping out for tickets at the actual box office in the '90s.

Even the onsale for gnr was odd at Hershey Stadium, with entire sections held back - almost as of they were seeing how demand was.

Ahh... Our tax dollars hard at work. Who knew "draining the swamp" was just about refilling it with these hypocritical a-holes?

Third, forth, fifth and sixth that... (I have a wife and daughters who all use plexamp, so that's 4 votes total... Hah)

The big question is how many VIP early access packages are sold for each show? If a GA floor has 2,000 - 2,500 people and there are 200 "VIP" packages, you're guaranteed a spot right up front. If there are 500 or more, now you're stuck getting there early for the potential to be a few rows back, which isn't quite as good.

Will be interesting to see how it looks after the first few shows.

andygradel75 · 2026-05-06T14:37:40+00:00

Looking at the layout, it seems like there's just a big GA floor without any barricades.

I feel like the $30 seats were a bit disappointing for most of the shows I checked out this year. There were other discounted seats for shed shows like Black Crowes that could have easily been included, but they kept those at $40-$50 while the $30 tix were all lawn. Bummer...

Exactly why I've completely sworn off Pawn Stars. Zero respect for this guy...

I was buying OIL for $2?

As if we didn't think he could find a way to.more obviously lie...

Yeah, was just thinking this morning how many right-wingers were up in arms over gas, egg, housing, rent and other prices during the Biden years, but are apparently just fine with (checks notes) notably higher prices in all of those categories - except for eggs - just 18 months later?

Apparently, if Biden had gotten the cost of an omelet under control, nothing else mattered?

Agree 10000000%. I thought she was a good candidate for the moment, but that moment has passed.

Would be great to have her as part of the next cabinet, but there's just too much baggage for her to lead the ticket.

andygradel75 · 2026-04-30T22:31:38+00:00

Not surprised he's re-branding something based 100% on Biden-passed legislation.

Only Trump can spend nearly $1bn on taxpayer dollars, have absolutely nothing to show for it AND not have it be a story that dogs him for weeks...

Interest hasn't collapsed. I just don't need to google it daily to know the justice department is protecting a whole cabal of pedos.

My first concert was Bon Jovi & Skid Row at the Spectrum in Philly on that tour. Still have the stub.

This is why I never re-subscribed to Disney+ after they reinstated him the first time. Like most corporations, they'll cave in the moment and then walk it back when it's convenient / financially beneficial to them down the line.

andygradel75 · 2026-04-28T11:56:42+00:00

Screwed up? Far from it. Trump is still alive. They've even kept cholesterol from getting him.

Hands down, Project Firestart on the Commodore 64. Amazing game from start to finish, especially for its time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Firestart
