Oh, there should be an investigation. I don't think there will be one performed by their own party because they don't want to dig up dirt on themselves (I don't think they actually care about the national security implications as much as how bad it would make them look publicly). Not sure what other kind of independent investigation can be done unless the FBI and DOJ are involved (and I wouldn't object to that, but would expect them to require more info before initiating an investigation). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 @TheGreatBuzz Probably because it's not actually true. Members of Congress live absolutely public and busy lives (at least while they are in Congress). Someone would truly know something. Also, didn't this guy vote KMcCarthy out? Besides... Russians can now directly influence our reps via dark money. Thanks SCOTUS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmirOfShmo Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Graham was protesting a proposed New York bill that would require restaurants at rest stops on the New York Thruway be open seven days per week, which directly challenges Chick-fil-A’s policy of being closed on Sundays. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatBuzz Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I'm siding with Chick-fil-A here. I don’t think they should be able to force them to work on Sundays. Seems like an overreach. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if you're a Republican. The fact that you didn't conceal the information proves that you are Not One Of Us. And therefore anything you say should be treated like - anything else you don't want to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like an overreach. Even when you've been granted a semi-monopoly (there's a pun there) to feed travelers on the interstate? Although, while I think the state has a point, I think I'd side with Cfa, too. If the contract required 24-7 service, it would be different. My argument would be that if the business is allowed to pick their hours, then they're allowed to pick their days, too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't even sell real fried chicken tho. Just patties n tenders n such. It's essentially a kids menu. 🤣 Bojangles has real fried chickens n I just timed it the rights picking up a 8 piece meal deal.

Rest stop Centers are open 7 days a week and the businesses that are allowed to operate there should be open 7 days a week. Chick-Fik-A shouldn’t be allowed in travel centers in NY since they are a 6 day a week business. A lot of these travel centers are on toll roads; so everything should be open 7 days a week.

Then NY should have made that a requirement in the contract/license whatever to open a restaurant there. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted December 24, 2023 Author Share Posted December 24, 2023 The easy solution is sub leasing that space to a once a week something that sells food to travels. Also, to be able to set up there in the first place, The 7 days a week open should have been a requirement. If I have my way, I'd have the classics in travel Plazas. From McDonald's to Long John Silvers to Sbarros. Deliciousness shouldn't been denied to the weary traveler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure how easy it would be to find a food service business that’s willing to only operate one day a week on the toll roads…especially if they are sharing space and appliances/ storage/ equipment/ etc. That could easily lead to a ****load of problems. As well as, how profitable would it be for that company to only operate one day on the toll roads? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballZombie Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 I think at minimum I would mandate that new business/stores that open on the toll road moving forward would have to adhere to a seven-day standard, and that would include new CFAs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySkinsFan Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 I agree that the contracts should spell out in "shalls" for days and hours open. For every business. If the current contracts don't states these requirements, it's not the fault of the business for making their own decisions for requirements. Either renegotiate the current contracts or live with it until the contract expires. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Slipknot, Korn, Smashing Pumpkins and Nickelback named in US Senator's report on wasteful government spending Slipknot, Korn, Smashing Pumpkins and Nickelback have been named in a US Senator's report highlighting wasteful government spending. Senator Rand Paul, a Republican representing Kentucky, has released his annual 'Festivus Report' – a breakdown of what he considers to be the US federal government's most wasteful spending in 2023. Rand's latest report was released this week and namechecks some of the biggest acts in the music business, including a string of rock and metal big hitters. In a section titled '$200million Ticket to Backstage', the report shines a light on financial relief distributed to gig venues and theatres during the Covid-19 pandemic. The task of distributing some of the funds was handed to the Small Business Administration (SBA). But according to the Festivus Report, the SBA distributed $200m to bands who were classed as "small business owners." Slipknot were awarded just under $10m, Smashing Pumpkins got $8.6m and Korn received $5.3m. Click on the link for the full article 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, there must be one with all Congresspersons listed. I couldn't find the amounts forgiven, I'll keep looking. Here's one link. https://marketrealist.com/news/democrats-that-received-ppp-loans/ Which Democrats received PPP loans? Republicans aren't the only ones that received PPP loans. Many Democrats (including their spouses) profited off PPP loans and benefited from the forgiveness too: Senator Jeanne Shaheen Rep. Matt Cartwright Rep. Susie Lee Speaker Nancy Pelosi Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell Rep. Devin Nunes Needless to say, the discussion surrounding student loan forgiveness has been beneficial in that voters are becoming aware of the hypocrisy of both political parties. Republicans made it clear early on that they don't support student loan forgiveness but many Democrats have challenged Biden on his plans for forgiveness. Democrat Tim Ryan said, "Instead of forgiving student loans for six-figure earners, we should be working to level the playing field for all Americans..."
