In your 40s and only know good vibrations? I probably wouldn't admit that.

Cashless only is the far superior scenario.

I get the notion that's she good about appealing to the right, but it's not like her message is controversial. It's not letting dudes compete against girls, something that would be considered obvious just 20 years ago and didn't even need to be said.

disagree with your friends assessment of Paris. I found it super clean, only homeless I saw was around Eiffel Tower. I loved the city. Only negative was afew rude folks.

Agreed. For a big city I thought Paris was much cleaner and lacking homeless compared to big cities here.

I also absolutely loved Rome too.

No that has nothing to do with the economics of the deal. Like I said they could just as easily blow all the money from the proceeds of the yearly meter revenue too.

Oh I know, but most seem to not understand. Hell even if they only invested half.

Now did they do that? No clue, but they could just as easily piss away the money if they don't make this deal and is a completely different discussion.

And 4% is really conservative, put in 8% and see what you get.

If you understand time value of money at all, this is a fantastic deal Chicago made.

Any opinion Keith Law has should be immediately dismissed. If you find yourself on the same side as him in a debate, no matter the topic, you may want to reconsider.

The first quote is about doyle pitching, the second is about Fisher pumping up the crowd from the on deck circle. I don't really care about the argument, but that was pretty disingenuous to conflate the two quotes to be about the same topic.
