phxbillcee replies on Jun 15, 2021:

He did make a point that the 750 million figure was migrants world-wide & that at most 150 million would wish to migrate here to the US (& of course, most would not have the means to do so). I believe that his point was that even if we did accept 750 million that it was not an impossibility. As a pin-head squeaky toy often says, "Facts don't care about your feelings." Presenting more of a whole picture, rather than pandering to the emotionally unstable who honestly won't reasonably listen to any logical argument I think was a better way to go. Tho I understand your point I think that is more counter-productive.

I found it funny when the woman couldn't get her key to stick to her neck. I have a dozen keys on my key ring. Only two of them are magnetic.. Most keys are made of non-ferrous metals and will not stick to a magnet.

Elderly nun faces 40 years for stealing to support gambling [bbc.com]

Druvius comments on Jun 9, 2021:

I have heard enough embezzling stories to know that you need to properly audit ANYONE who has access to cash on a regular basis. That she got away with such huge amounts over such a long time shows it was a terrifically badly managed school, hopefully people were fired.

phxbillcee replies on Jun 9, 2021:

@Druvius 'Easy' money can just be too much of a temptation. & I deliberately count out money, when needed, even with good friends & family. Just ensures things from the start & avoids potential misunderstandings or problems down the line. Tho I'm on a strict budget & money only means so much to me, it can be a potential landmine in all sorts of situations. Better safe & above-board.

Correct. & then at least a yearly audit by an independent firm to double check that. It actually would have protected the nun, too. You won't be sticking your hand in the cookie jar if Mom is right there watching.

@Sticks48 Granted, but as one who lived back East for decades, they could have made it a second Vegas. Smaller scale, but hell, they had NYC, Philly & even Boston & Baltimore & environs for easy weekend jaunts, at the least. Winters would be a bit slower, but their summers could have rocked.

@Sticks48 Not necessarily true, it works in Vegas... Caesars: Bally's, Caesars Place, Cromwell, Flamingo, Harrah's, Linq/O'Sheas, Paris, Planet Hollywood, Rio, Treasure Island). A whopping 17 of the 29 strip casinos are owned by just two companies.

I still remember Lewis Black's take on it in 2012. "Now you might say he'd make a terrible president. I mean, the guy bankrupted his own casino--*A CASINO, where the house always wins!!* Unless it's Donald tЯump's house!" Hell, the country should have remembered that monologue four years later ...

@Sticks48 Two casinos, in the only real resort city (or could/should have been) in the NorthEast, should not have been an issue. With proper management & promotion they both should have been going concerns. Casinos, FFS! Can't get a better guaranteed money maker than that!
