It's about 2.30 in the afternoon. A very cold east coast of the United States, at least here in New Jersey. I just got a text from a friend of mine who lives in Los Angeles, is boasting about how beautiful the weather is, and I told her it's still winter here. It's 30 degrees out, and I can see from the flag outside the front of my house that it's a furious, furious wind. Where is the spring? Well, anyway, there is no spring in Buffalo, New York, where the town officials and the governor of New York are about to ask the legislature of the state of New York, you're ready for this, for a billion dollars. What, schools, highways? No, a new football stadium for the Buffalo Bills.

This would be another example of blatant corporatism and an incredible burden on the taxpayers of the state of New York. It's chutzpah beyond imagining that the billionaire, billionaire owners of this team, which has been to the Super Bowl four times and has never won, but nevertheless, it's a good football team. The New York football giants just stole their assistant general manager and made him our general manager and their defensive coordinator and made him our head coach. So we have a lot of like for the talent in Buffalo.

But that's irrelevant. What is relevant here is that it is just plain morally wrong and economically wrong to tax taxpayers of the state of New York to build this stadium. If these billionaires want a stadium, let them borrow the money and build it themselves and pay back the banks from which they borrow it. Now, the governor's argument is it's going to cost 10,000 jobs. It's going to revitalize western New York. Remember, Buffalo is nowhere near New York City. It's closer to Detroit than it is to Manhattan. That is not an argument that always works.

And even if it does work. The legislature is not in the business. Of giving seed money. To private corporations. Particularly corporations that are owned by billionaires. I love football. I have seen the Buffalo Bills play. But not in their stadium.

I don't know what kind of condition the stadium is in now, but it's none of the government's business to take tax dollars and give them to a sports team. I don't think this is going to pass. I think there's too much opposition to it in the legislature of the state of New York. Now, maybe that's because the population centers in New York are near where I am, which is nowhere near Buffalo. And they really are probably, probably Giants and Jets and maybe even, dare I say it, Patri which football team they like, will not tolerate taking a billion dollars out of the coffers. Governor Hochul, I don't know where you came up with this idea and giving them to a billionaire. Like and subscribe. Judge the Paul Tano for judging freedom.
