If it is not profitable it is probably in fact a boat…a hole in the water…you pour money into…
How many non profitable properties does govt rent with my money (tax dollars)?
Give me a total on that.

These forums are commented on by people with the time and inclination to post and seem to be giving people an extremely skewed picture of the views of the entire group.

Think about that before you assume the few that comment speak for all…

He is a proven loser at the head of the ticket of two different parties (at least so they claim) and should defer to those with a better likelihood of winning. The best opinions in the world, which his are not, are useless if you cannot win a majority. Time to hang em up pal and let someone younger and prettier get involved.

Bitter, isn’t it?

Yes that’s right! Follow the money!

Only the rich truly benefitted from AC! Can’t find that magical $360M can you? It’s because it never made it into public coffers!

Completely ridiculous. As absurd as that is and actually thought acceptable, it’s a drop in the bucket in comparison to other things.

If you don’t understand that, then please don’t waste your breath commenting on the America’s Cup, as it’s clearly too complicated for you.

Twisting and turning to try to defend your incompetent government wasting borrowed money on empty offices.

While our children sit in mouldy classrooms with dysfunctional wifi and an education system that is crying out for better management. And while you increase tax on food so that old people can’t buy things they want. And yet you waste money so that a fat cat sit in a big empty office overseas.

And you have to do it in the context of a broader economic plan. You know, one that increase cash circulation in the economy.

I’ll wait.
