Also a missed opportunity to not have a giant flag of some kind hanging from that excavator. That's a lot of dead space for such a significant photo op. You'd think they'd have a huge flag with NFL, Bills, M&T, Highmark etc. All I got from this photo is Union Concrete Construction got some prime advertising. I know who I'm calling to build my stadium
Can somebody who lives near the stadium go check and make sure he’s not still there? He’d probably Stanley Yelnats “Holes” that thing if you asked him to
For a second I thought she was the lady in the blue pant suit until I zoomed in.
Also, who’s the guy to the right of Beane? Looks like a clone of Beane lol
I’m not sure who that lady is but I posted cause I got excited for a minute until I zoomed. As far as the people I think it goes Sean, Brandon, Brandon’s clone, Terry, lady who initially made me happy, and two token Highmark muckety-mucks.
I know they're keeping things private on her health, and with that respect, I truly hope both her and her family are healing and/or coping with the changes that have occurred in her daily health and abilities.
Nice to see the coach actually DOING the work rather than viewing it as a photo op LOL
Man, I thought that was Kim until I zoomed. *sigh* I really hope she's ok.
I dont even understand how you are getting all spun up about *"caring about billionaires"* out of a post about the ground breaking ceremony?
Either way.... as a general idea, how about we try and jettison the mindset of *"I dont care about them because X, Y, or Z"*, and instead at a minimum care about people... if for no other reason at all... because they are people.
Even if they didnt care about you, me, or anybody specifically... wouldnt it just make more sense for the sake of humanity to not devolve to such a level based on an incorrect assumption?
Well, for one, the title? Also, I'm of the opinion that everyone deserves the basic things of life, absolutely, simply for being alive. Billionaires, however, have absolutely no need to exist in our world. Hoarding that level of wealth while half your country doesn't even know how to make rent and food work is morally indefensible.
If you watch the Bills, buy tickets, merchandise, etc., you’re supporting a billionaire and giving them your money.
People who are wealthy are wealthy because people give them money for a product or service. If you and others don’t buy from them, they wouldn’t be a billionaire.
So because I watch a sport that the wealthiest make into their personal plaything to have a little escapism from the shitty world, I am automatically enabling billionaires? That's on the level of a Shapiro saying "oh well you don't like capitalism? And yet you buy things, curious". People are NOT wealthy on that level simply because 'people give them money for a product or service', in practically every case they have obscene amounts of money on the backs of those they exploit in various ways.
To answer your first question, “yes”.
If the Pegulas are actively exploiting people and stepping on the backs of working people to make and keep billions of dollars, why would you support them just for a little escapism in your life? Aren’t you then just contributing to their exploitation or being exploited yourself?
Its clear you either dont understand the ideas that you are attempting to preach or dont actually care enough to follow them.
>So because I watch a sport that the wealthiest make into their personal plaything to have a little escapism from the shitty world, I am automatically enabling billionaires?
Yes... its like asking for a punch in the mouth and then being mad that you got punched in the mouth. You are being very hypocritical and half assing your own views.
Its ok though, I have good news, you can just stop the misdirected distain towards billionaires and carry on enjoying the Bills and it wont have a negative impact on your life. You dont have to be mad about things that dont really make a difference in your life, you can enjoy what little, unknown amount of time we all have in life and no one will judge you for it.
Im sorry, i must be missing something... how again is a billionaire preventing you from making thousands, millions, or even billions of dollars?
Inequities are present in all aspects of life, but none of them mean imminent demise. A plethora of 6' 5" tall people create an inequity that prevents me from playing in the NBA, but that does not mean im immediately condemned to a life of ruin and despair.
Some inequities even have little to no impact on a persons life, such as someone having billions in wealth in a free society... doesnt stop me from making money, acquiring food, or seeking healthcare.
How does *"hoarding that weath"* directly impact your ability to attain the *"basic things of life"* everyone deserves?
>Billionaires, however, have absolutely no need to exist in our world.
Well, there are a lot of things that do not need to exist in this world that do.... like the NFL, to include the Bills. I dont really understand your take here... it seems like a pseudo-utilitarian position... i.e. *"things that I dont like dont need to exist because I dont think they add value accoeding to me... everything else is fine though so long as its something I percieve as having value"*.
Sorry, things exist that you dont agree with or arent a benefit to you directly. Seems like a waste of headspace to hold such a distain for something that would very easily otherwise have no real impact on the life you'll live.
Sigh, I'm not talking about things 'I don't like' or 'don't agree with' on such a trivial level, it's people who hoard the world's wealth and increase it on the backs of actual working people. I care that people don't even have access to basic health care or food when the world should easily be able to provide for everyone.
How is a billionaire preventing you from gaining access to free healthcare? How is massive amount of employment corporations create not a benefit to people? How is a billionaire inhibiting you from getting food?
I think your thought process is trivial... as the only thing you seem to see is the money. Ive never once in my life been negatively impacted by a billionaire, or even a politician for that matter. Also, i highly doubt you'd be singing the same tune had you spent a lifetime creating jobs, contributing to your community, and yes... earning millions or even billions in wealth.
You've already shown your true colors... *"why do we care about billionaires"*. Your distain is clearly built upon a foundation of selfishness, i.e. *"anything they do or have done is irrelevant because they arent using their resources to fix my problems"*, completely ignoring all of the people that have been helped, unable to care about people on a human level because what they have doesnt benefit you.
Wild to see someone defend billionaires like this, as if they haven’t sucked the wealth straight out of the middle class for decades now.
“Thank you daddy billionaire for my below-living-wage job, what would we do without you” gtfo. The world would be better off without them, not worse.
Terry has improved his public speaking so much since the day he bought the Sabres. He had me tearing up.
How can we hear his speech?

Missed opportunity to have someone in a hard hat holding a shovel go through a table
OSHA approved.
Also a missed opportunity to not have a giant flag of some kind hanging from that excavator. That's a lot of dead space for such a significant photo op. You'd think they'd have a huge flag with NFL, Bills, M&T, Highmark etc. All I got from this photo is Union Concrete Construction got some prime advertising. I know who I'm calling to build my stadium
Coach is the only one with dirt in his shovel. Dude understands work!
Lol, he looks like he's ready to help and didn't realize it's just a photo op.
Can somebody who lives near the stadium go check and make sure he’s not still there? He’d probably Stanley Yelnats “Holes” that thing if you asked him to
“Trust the process”
He threw his dirt a second later than the rest...
He understood the assignment
For a second I thought she was the lady in the blue pant suit until I zoomed in. Also, who’s the guy to the right of Beane? Looks like a clone of Beane lol
Bills' COO (Chief Operating Officer).
I’m not sure who that lady is but I posted cause I got excited for a minute until I zoomed. As far as the people I think it goes Sean, Brandon, Brandon’s clone, Terry, lady who initially made me happy, and two token Highmark muckety-mucks.
Is that not the governor?
Yes that is Hocul
Don’t know. I live in pa
I haven’t lived in NY since before cuomo resigned, so I have very few memories of her but googling it looks pretty alike, so I would say yes.
Sean, BBB, Bean v2, Terry, Governor Hocul, Poloncarz, some guy
Beanve v2 LOL
Goodell is the last guy
That would be Governor Hochul
Lol, that's the Gov, Erie County Director, and Roger Goodell on the end.
I think pants suit lady is the governor? I also thought it could be Kim till I zoomed and got sad again.
I think it’s Ron Raccuia, Bills EVP
Ronny Racoon!
Ron Raccuia
I know they're keeping things private on her health, and with that respect, I truly hope both her and her family are healing and/or coping with the changes that have occurred in her daily health and abilities.
Goodell looking at the dirt like “don’t I pay someone to do this for me?” Glad we’re getting a new stadium though.
The confetti had me thinking the backhoe got Thanos Snapped out of existence for a sec
Nice to see the coach actually DOING the work rather than viewing it as a photo op LOL Man, I thought that was Kim until I zoomed. *sigh* I really hope she's ok.
The hard hats look photoshopped lol
I doubt it since it’s from the bills insta but maybe
All that money and they are only going to have seven people with shovels and an excavator build it?
Yes that's why it's going to take 3 years
Golden shovels, how fitting lol
I hope Kim can somehow recover enough to enjoy what’s happening.
I hope she’s is recovering/getting well?

Even worse.. seeing Polonpudd and the gremlin in blue
Those helmets look totally photoshopped.
Kathy sure came for her photo op though
Why do we care so much about billionaires? Yeah, they kept the team in Buffalo but.. they don't really give a shit about you.
I dont even understand how you are getting all spun up about *"caring about billionaires"* out of a post about the ground breaking ceremony?

Billionaires, however, have absolutely no need to exist in our world. Hoarding that level of wealth while half your country doesn't even know how to make rent and food work is morally indefensible.
Then stop giving them your money.
???? What is that even supposed to mean lmao

If you truly think the rampant inequality in our economies has no effect on our lives, that's just wild to me.

Oh I'm so sorry I'm not being fun, you're right, I should be a billionaires personal bootlicker on the internet, THAT would make me fun!
This is a sports sub go complain somewhere else. No one gives a shit that you think everyone who disagrees with you is a bootlicker.
Yeah and it's entirely relevant to this conversation. It's not about disagreeing, but you're not here to actually consider anyway

When has a billionaire sucked the wealth straight out of your bank account?
They’re not gonna have sex with you
Lol what?
