Oh, puh leeze. No one stole the election and you’re right, a federal judge backed the removal of 100,000 names from the state’s voting database. That judge was appointed by Obama.
Regardless of if you like Kemp or not, lying on someone isn’t a good look. And if you’re into letting ineligible voters vote in your local, regional, or state elections, then yes, please stay out of my neck of the woods.
As for Northam, I don’t have a problem with him or his black face. But what I do have an issue with is those that want to jump on Georgia’s neck for “presumed” issues, but allow a Virginia Governor to “redeem” himself when he is guilty of a trespass that sits at the core of The Left’s fight.
Had Kemp been guilty of that, there would be no recourse. Kemp hasn’t even done anything and y’all are still lying on him.
Georgia and its right-wing politics are beyond a mess (including how they didn't mind running a large HQ like Delta and its thousands of jobs out of the state due to said right-wing politics) and to pretend otherwise would be not living in reality, honestly.

Cagle didn’t with the nomination, so I’m not sure why you’re bringing him up. He opened his mouth with foolishness and met his demise. Kemp’s 40 point lead should have been proof for you that Cagle wasn’t seen as fit.
I think the best examples of a “mess” in state politics and policies would be New York and Illinois. Virginia and Georgia are both budding and growing states. Georgia in particular with record level unemployment rates and a healthy growth outlook.
Sure, wages could stand to be a bit higher down here, but COL could stand to be a little lower in Northern Virginia. No place is without shortcomings.

I'd say its not too great, considering most of the wealth/prosperity is highly concentrated. Not just concentrated in Atlanta, but also within Atlanta itself.
Atlanta metro has the highest income inequality in the country and Georgia has the 7th highest. (VA is 22nd). That puts GA in good company with the left-wing and right-wing failed governments of NY, LA, CA, etc.
You told me that there were strip malls in Midtown. You also said you lived right next to them at 8th and Juniper but failed to produce any evidence of said strip malls.
In fact, outside of the Staples barely inside of Midtown, all of your “examples” were on the outskirts or completely outside of Midtown.
Instead of me taking the time to go down that rabbit hole that you enjoy playing in, I just chose to be an adult and ignore you.
And it’s possible that you and I have different definitions of what constitutes a strip mall, but where Caribou Coffee sits is the weakest example of a “strip mall”.
And for the record, I do agree with the open parking lot and single family home comments. But strip malls? No. You’re just being your usual inflammatory self with that silly comment.
They're were all within a 5-10 minute drive and needed to meet daily needs i.e. grocery stores, gyms, banks etc. I also showed 2 of them within 2 blocks of where I lived. I said I lived right by strip malls and that's exactly what I provided whereas you said absolutely 0 exist. Others with experience with Midtown even agreed with my comment regarding the strip malls but I guess they've never been there either? It's not a big deal, just a matter of fact..
Also regarding the note about you being an adult, let's keep in mind that you said you were "serious" about your inquiry and asked for proof and I merely replied and provided exactly what you asked for.

Can you please point me to them. I’m serious too. I have never seen them and this makes me laugh that in all of my time in Midtown and I’ve overlooked them.
Please don’t let today be the day that you take all day responding. You’re usually 5 mins or less when responding to me.

You are correct in this.
They are within a 5-10 minute drive of where you lived, but that’s hardly “right next to” where you lived, which is exactly what you said: “I've lived there. 8th and Juniper baby right next to skyscrapers, single family homes and strip malls in midtown!”
The Bank of America Plaza sits “right next to” North Avenue Station. Bank of America Plaza is within a 5-10 minute drive to Midtown Station. I wouldn’t say that Bank of America Plaza is “right next to” Midtown Station, because that’s simply not true. But what is true is there are strip malls within a 5-10 minute drive of 8th and Juniper, it’s just that all (except Staples, which is indeed a strip mall) are outside of Midtown.
And again, if your best example of a strip mall is where Caribou Coffee is, then there really is no point in carrying on the conversation. Even Staples is barely in Midtown and definitely not “right next to” 8th and Juniper.

That was one fool running his mouth, it was NOT the State. He paid for it as well. Don't fool yourself, Delta isn't going anywhere.

Yeah, well here’s the thing about income inequality. Not only is that a broad and complex topic, it’s just as much (if not more of) a self induced situation as it is a policy issue (or a situation outside of your control). Same with obesity, which I’m sure Virginia fares better in that metric too.
If you choose to eat fried food, not workout, and work at Wal Mart. That’s on you. If you choose not to go to school and get an education to but bring children into this world, knowing that you don’t have the resources to support them, that’s on you.
I do understand that there are some facing situations that are not the result of their own doing. Those people, I truly sympathize with.
But you going to school to be a social worker, or a liberal arts major, knowing that there are next to no well paying jobs in your future is a choice that you made. I feel not an iota of sorrow for you on the 6 o clock news talking about you having to work 3 jobs to make ends meet.
Teachers, police officers, and other public servants in Georgia are paid well enough, though I believe they could stand to earn more on the bottom end.
There are people in this country that like to make excuses (or blame everyone but themselves) for their problems. Education and personal factors are the two talking points in the inequality conversation people tend to want to place less emphasis on. And with good reason, if you’re an excuse maker.
And for the record, I do believe there does need to be some changes in Georgia when it comes to protecting workers from discrimination (especially age) and unlawful termination along with a few others. These two situations are not unique to Georgia alone though.
Until we get to that accomplished as a country, we will have to continue to rely on the courts to vindicate those wronged.
2 blocks west of where I lived. I'll end our convo with this.
LOL, that's a strip mall? It's 3 businesses with 6 parking spots in the middle of a dense neighborhood. This sort of thing is seen all over the country, from New York to L.A.
That block is on its way out anyway, Chicago-based CM Ventures is planning a 32 story apartment tower there. The businesses have already closed.

Here comes your partner isawooty... that shopping center has tons more parking on the backside https://www.google.com/maps/@33.7795...7i16384!8i8192. I already showed plenty more very close by that are much larger as well
Jmatl - did I say anything regarding potential future plans for that or any other site I showed earlier? I specifically said I lived in Midtown right by/close by to skyscrapers, single family homes, strip malls, open lots and large parking garages.
Is there anything false in what I said?
