The capital district is DEAD!!! People are being laid off everywhere. Stores are empty. Grocery stores are empty. Traffic is light. The DSS building is about the only place where it still remains busy!

I wish I had gotten that hot-dog vendor franchise ... gotta be making a killing!
Don't mention how much money the hot dog vendor is making because in this county they will raise his taxes and force him out of business, he appears to be one of the last few people still working in this county.
It is whatever the goombahs say it is- follow the money trail to the paddy wagon. it's locked, and only the powers that be have the key. who's inside? only those who control the guns, and the masses would know. cha ching!
this is rotterdam - the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and the tree is always near the apples. who's turn is it to make cider?!
the clay for the bricks has dried up, and with the gumbahs they control all the cement blocks now the feds will watch us
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
