I lived in nyc and I never cared for that kind of memorial. Instead nyc needed to repair the subway with that money.
oh you didn't like that area and left? i visited it this summer. What else were they supposed to do? they had to have some kind of memorial. Haven't read how much it costed to build though. Do you know?

I remember trying really hard to be someone who could admit when they were wrong online, and it's very rare you get met with civility by the person you've just been arguing with, they're usually a bad winner about it
yeah i kinda agree with this. If you say , oh it's my fault and i was wrong, and are met with contempt....then why bother?

I've done it before but haven't in a while, mostly because I didn't have a place to store the tools and jack. I have a garage now so maybe I'll get back into it next time.
so in your estimation doing it yourself does save a lot of money? how much do you usually save?

No, I haven't been down there in a while.
I would like to go up the tower, but I kinda don't like that they turned it into a Disney ride.
Also, I heard it has a gift shop, which is a little weird.

I do like the Tower though.
which tower are you talking about? what disney ride?

Probably unpopular, but nah. They make a lot of money, play for a few years, and the remainder of their life in most instances is severely impacted from injuries, concussions, and other issues that come along with it. I'm not gonna judge someone for putting a price on their long-term quality of life and what they feel sacrificing themselves is worth.
you can't think of any contract instances in the nfl where they held out and the player was wrong to do so?

Store Managers are probably generally competent. Running a big box retailer is a lot of work, there are a ton of different pieces that have to be factored in.

Below that the competency is probably less consistent.

I hear about it. It's also odd when merchandise gets returned to a store on store credit, I guess that they never sold? I know online is different from in store, but literal other store items will be returned sometimes.

Hell customers can just openly steal and there is very little anyone can do about it. It's such a stupid place, I stayed at for too long.
oh you hated retail for this reason?

...or had situations that are similar to this.....Like where a customer might want to return something but the store doesn't want to and usually the store is clearly in the right about why they can't return something but the customer will keep on arguing why they should be able to return it and their arguments clearly make no sense and they are clearly in the wrong but they still continue to argue?
