    Gov. Cuomo making the point that since NYs taxes are too high; the massive corporate tax breaks he just gave to the RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD were necessary in order to prevent Amazon from picking a "more tax-friendly state like Texas"

    let that sink in for a bit.

    Is it a good deal for both state and Amazon? Not like the FoxConn deal that Walker made which was crap for his state.

    When you leave home to go to another deer camp and your wife calls to tell you that she saw 2 huge bucks in the yard this morning.

    It is never a good deal for the state when The State is picking corporate winners and losers. How about cutting them across the board?

    Kansas did that, go ask them how it's working out? In fact I am shocked Amazon did not pick Kansas.

    like any junkie, The State must be gradually weaned from the milk of the poppy. First lower corporate rates, encouraging job growth and a larger tax base. Then with a revenue base line, balance the budget. Take the surplus and pay down the debt over a series of years. Then with a larger workforce, cut the personal income tax to levels where budgets and revenues intersect.

    Can't do it all at once. Brownback was just too ambitious.

    rant:
    Joe Rogan's podcast (really any interesting podcast series)
    I'd never watched one of Joe's from start -finish before. Holy crap. While I don't agree with some-a lot of what the content is it's always interesting. But HOW THE F%# does anyone have time to watch all these "cool" "interesting" whatever podcasts and get anything done in real life??? I got 541t to do!

    Walking out to the stand around 1pm today and the phone goes off, answer it and it is a desk adjuster. Asks for documentation on a building code before he will release the depreciation to the policyholder. Tell him I will send it Monday and he says that won't work, needs it today. Needless to say, he is not getting it today.

    1) Home renovations (while in progress).

    2) Removing wall paper...ok, poorly removed dry wall on walls. (My wife and daughter)

    3) Mudding/spackling/skin coat dry wall.

    I listen in my cubicle, makes the sentencing time pass faster. I don't listen to Rogan though. All most of all the ones I listen to are hunting related.

    So what you are really saying is that you miss your Alvin and the Chipmunks records. Lol

    That's probably it, but there was more content that I wanted to listen to then had time.

    My wife says they sound like chipmunks too...but I gradually stepped to 1.25 then 1.5 then 2 and don't really notice much any more.

    so far all of the Rogan podcasts I have listened to except one with a fat Cuban comic guy have been hunting related. Ted Nugent (great great interview- put any notions you have of the Nuge aside and check it out) Cam Haynes and Steve Rinella.

    Boy that's asking a lot..

    However, I have enjoyed his appearances on Meat Eater, Joe Rogan that is. And I have listened to a few of the podcasts, I like them. As far as Podcasts, how many of ya'll listen to Wired to Hunt?
