Although that would be great news, I wouldn't count on it.

I said this YEARS ago that the Jackpot should be raised from $1200 to $5,000 since we do NOT live in 1977 when the $1200 Jackpot Threshold was $1200 . $1200 in 1977 WAS a big deal... In Current and recent times, $1200 is NOT all that much anymore... Sad that it took 43 YEARS to seriously consider putting the Jackpot Threshold to $5,000

The only irritating thing about the $1200 threshold is waiting for the paperwork and having to deal with the floor minions. Changing it to $5k makes a lot more sense (it should be $10k) but you would still be met with stoppages for handpays so the greedy floor slugs could intimidate tips out of the weaker players.

We stayed at Circa 3 days last week and I got 2 signers. Both times the handpays weenies acted mortified that I didn't tip them. Other than that, we went to both Saginaw's Deli and Barry's Prime twice each, and everything was top notch, esp. Barry's. Reservations were required everywhere. The best part was the places were only 25% capacity because of Sissylak's restrictions.

We only went to see the place and don't expect to stay there again. I didn't even get a slot card. I valet parked which was $15/night, and yikes! I actually PAID for our really nice room, which was $139 + $34/night. First time I've ever paid for parking or a resort fee--anywhere. Times have changed and accept, adapt, and adjust are the key words now.

So don't let the W2G threshold stop you from enjoying yourself. But if you go to Circa, ignore the losers, bums and lowlifes on Freemont.

Speaking of which, I haven't watched the NFL yet this year until I turned it on today to watch Josh Allen play. Great game, but WTF is up with the commercials? Are black people REALLY 50% to 60% of our population? Do that many white men REALLY like the prickly-haired pubies and rough bumpy skin of black women? Just turned off football for good. Good riddance.

Yeah, it was better when blacks and mulattos were slaves, right, Rob?

Especially the mamas: work em hard in the day and plough your fill at night, right, Rob?

Slaves are a thing of the past and nobody really cares about what went down then today. Ask any high school student without a hoodie or pants down around his knees. These commercials are pushing some sort of racial agenda at us when they don't need to. Football games are played by 75% blacks, but even that doesn't appease the idiots. Besides, when the stands are full it's nearly all white people paying to see them play, and the vast majority of people watching the games on tv are also white. How about just serving up commercials with the actual % of blacks in our population, which is under 14%.

This is so true.

Mr V...what world do you live in?

[MisterV]

Mr V...what world do you live in?

My sarcasm just went screaming right over you, coach.

But to answer your rhetorical question, I live in Portland, Oregon, where BLM and their antifa butt-buddies duke it out regularly with right thinking Americans.

Rob is right though about this new crop of ultra-liberal commercials being a sop; never saw this amount of blacks, or multi-racial couples in commercials til the BLM nonsense started.

Marketing departments bending over backwards to a fault to be inclusive. The only group they’re not worried about is straight white males.

Also, that 14% figure is virtually the same as 50 years ago. Where’s BLM? And why is noted racist and planned parenthood founder Margaret Sanger still a hero to the left....

Another damn racist, even though she never saw what color she was...

Rhetorical comment, she could see up to her first two years...

I thought all valet parking everywhere is unavailable due to Covid.

[Ozzy]

Hang in there Rob, Brady..Brees and Rogers are still around.

[kewlJ]

Most of Rob's hate, is self hate. In this case, he hates that he is descent from black Africans.

We are all descended from the same place...if that's what you believe.

Damn, Mister V from the top rope.

Damn, Mister V from the top rope.

You have to wonder how people get this way, I think, so far removed from the simple things in life, that they seek artificial means of recovering it. Didn't citizen Kane have at least a "Rosebud"?

[Garnabby]

The reality of the situation is that other people are other people. There is no glorified ascent/descent, in terms of such personal perceptions, rationalizations and the like, to civility. The seat-at-the-table mentality. Have hammer, use hammer. But, justice is, say, color-blind. Not even a matter of making friends.

The old Kung Fu series notion that you have to become one with the tiger. One doesn't attack itself.

[BoSox]

The reality of the situation is that other people are other people. There is no glorified ascent/descent, in terms of such personal perceptions, rationalizations and the like, to civility.

The reality of the situation today is that society itself is fixated on keeping up with Jone's mentality. All materialistic, society and the only supposed explanation for any and all disparities "sick" is the victimization by discrimination on race based on a long ago past history. Socialism here we come.

[Garnabby]

True, I think, except for the part about Socialism here we come. Because, we live in a nuclear deterrent world between powerful governments based on money and military might. In the other universe, one with a possible set of physical rules not our own, say, more charge than gravity -based, perhaps things truly are Socialistic.

But, evolution won't accept a balance of the two. As in, how to make Capitalistic progress without pervasive Capitalism. Before we can figure it out, say, call a Black man, a man, evolution has moved on (to a new whole set of other imbalances or problems). Not even a theory of everything can change this.

I believe that evolution has moved very very slowly pertaining to the advancement of the Black man in America. In the 1960's a black man claim to fame was determined upon the size and year of his Lincoln. Today it is possibly easier for a black woman to get a mortgage than a black man, as referenced below in the link by this dumb stupid bitch who thinks her shit is ice cream.
