That`s not what it looked like when I was there in person and even with the construction those business` are still open. In the long run, the subway will be good for the area. This is a picture from 4 days ago. Google union square san francisco and limit the search to the last week.
Did you look up what the tax rates were in the 50s?
Robert
Fantasy. Go walk down Stockton St and see how many are open and doing business, how many have closed since the construction. What makes you say that subway will be good for the area?
I`m well aware of the rates in the 50`s, apples/oranges since the tax code has changed. Sorta like the employment/unemployment index.
So you never did tell me what you do/did for work.

There are hundreds of pictures of Union Square available. Business` open and close all the time and while I`m sure the construction adds stress, in the long run having a good transportation system that helps people get around quickly and easily is a public good. And again, you`ve ignored the jobs created by the project and the business` that have done better because those people have money to spend.
As far as what I do and have done for a living - it`s not material to this discussion - so I consider the question rude.
Robert
Temporary jobs created. and they have already stated that the bus system was faster for that route than the muni will be.
And as far as rude goes.................. Consider it what you will, but it might have added to why you feel the way you do.
Anyway, it was fun.
As I did not start this thread, and really have NO intention on voting for Trump, and have more to lose from this conversation, I`m outta here.
Adios

It will be interesting on how the Republican primaries go. Of course, many candidates are just looking for some air time, get a book deal, and possible make money as a talking head. Trump can be a spoiler like Ron Paul who was able to go after anyone.

Interesting. In any case, since it would be rude to continue, all the best.

How is it rude to ask guy what he does for a living???? I`m mean, it`s RUDE to ask how much $$$ you make - but what you do for a living?? Don`t see it.
[QUOTE=WhyteWizard;1997322]The Internet has crazy rules. I dunno. One of the first things people usually do when they meet someone and engage in a conversation is ask about what they do for a living.
I don`t get how someone posting on an Internet forum is crossing a boundary. In fact, most forums have at least one thread about what people do for a living.
Now maybe if someone doesn`t want someone to know what they do for a living for some reason, perhaps I could understand that???

Yeah, not sure I understand that one. Unless a guy is doing something illegal, immoral or something of which he`s ashamed. I can`t imagine why asking someone about their employment would be in poor taste. If what you`re doing falls into one of those category`s perhaps a change is in order. It`s like asking someone about the weather. Doesn`t matter whether your a Dr. or Sanitation Worker, if you do your best at your job you should be proud of it and no one should ever tell you differently. There are certainlly those that will but their opinion is worthless all the same. Just my 2 cents.
A society willing to trade liberty for temporary security deserves neither and will lose both

If someone`s opinion of what you do is worthless, why share it? On the other hand, if someone tells you they don`t want to share personal information isn`t it rude to keep asking?
Robert
I do not think it is rude to ask but the person does not need to answer plus there should be no negative connotations when not responding. It was pretty clear the question in this case was going to be used judge or criticize the opinion.

Have been trying to avoid this thread since.........
Al (one of my favorite liberals )
It really wasn`t to "judge or criticize", and I think you know me better. It was to gain some sort of perspective on the replies he was making.
I would presume his replies are related to his experiences in life, so that would maybe make sense on what and how he was saying.
He seems relatively educated and articulate, so it was curiosity and trying to understand. Nothing more, nothing less.
But since I have made use of the ignore function, I will have to agree with GearHead.
