Dude . . . who knew! They were, SLAMMED! Our poor waitress almost had a nervous breakdown. They ran out everything. But, it was a magical trip back in time.

The pan pizza, still rules. Their wings were excellent, and I nearly orgasmed over the breadsticks.

All in all, it was a dream Valentine date!

Gentlemen, do not look dashing, with beards. They never have, and they never will.

The lined areas of the neck left open, always look ridiculous, no matter where you stop.

You are not an animal protecting your skin from the harsh elements, you are a human; get that crap off your face.

And where do you stand on the 5 o'clock shadow? The 3-day stubble?

Good thing I'm not looking to score with walky

We give trillions to any other country on the planet . . . but 10 years after lead poisoning, Flint Michigan residents still haven't seen a penny from $626.25 Million legal settlement.

Gee, I wonder why that is?

Which country do we give trillions to and how does that have any effect on Flint legal distribution?

According to Google:

"Israel has received hundreds of billions of dollars in U.S. foreign aid in the post–World War II era"

"the United States obligated nearly $78.3 billion to Pakistan between 1948 and 2016"

"U.S. Congress have directed about $75 billion in assistance to Ukraine"

My question was, if we have the funds for other countries, why haven't we paid to help the residents of Flint Hill in our country? Is that a difficult question for you?

I don't know. But you said trillions to individual countries, and it's obviously billions. And in the cases you mentioned, less than 100 billion, which is 10% of or less than 10% of your original claim.

I'm not an expert on the case but it appears that the lawsuit wasn't filed against the Federal Government, so why would we expect the federal government to pay the settlement?

Do you think Trump will ever pay the 400 billion penalty her was just levied?


On November 10, 2021, Judge Judith E. Levy of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan granted final approval of a landmark $626.25 million settlement resulting from the class action and individual lawsuits brought on behalf of more than 90,000 Flint residents and businesses against multiple governmental defendants, including the State of Michigan, Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), and individual defendants, including former Governor Rick Snyder, for their roles in re-directing toxic levels of contaminated water from the Flint River into the City’s drinking water in an effort to save money and their subsequent efforts to try to cover up the crisis.

Sorry, that my question of humanity shows you only care about word semantics, and not the actual problem of our country wanting to fix the infrastructure, of our county.

Thank God, a brewery wasn't affected.

Who needs to be paying the Flint settlement money and why aren't they paying?

The final settlement wasn't determined until 2023, and it's the State of Michigan that owes the money, not the US government. Facts matter.

i'm with space on this one.

numbers: if you're going to exaggerate in the name of sensationalism, don't complain when you're called out for sensationalism and exaggeration. if you want others to focus on your main point, don't hide it under false and distracting embellishments.

as space pointed out, it's apples and oranges.  funding for foreign countries has nothing to do with the flint settlement, since the latter isn't against the federal government.  smells of false outrage.

more generally, we can in fact walk and chew gum.  money for infrastructure and foreign support comes from different and unrelated budgets.  cutting a dollar from from aid to <insert country here> will not result in an additional dollar for cleaning up flint, so why make the false association?  politically expediency, methinks: everyone can get behind opposing the injustice in flint.  if you are an anti-globalist/america first/etc, why not latch your wagon to this be damned the lack of actual association?

and finally, those in need of help (and their advocates) shouldn't be kicking others in need of help.  why does one never hear, as part of a "hey what about keeping that money here at home" argument, the idea of taxing corporations that don't pay any tax?  or the billionaires who pay a lower tax rate than teachers?  what about cutting the salary of politicians and use those funds on their constituents?
