What's the difference between no working elevators and no elevators?

Originally designed for 20 stories. When redesigned for 47 stories either the additional space needed for the larger equipment was over looked or poorly addressed. During construction one of the elevators fell 15 stories injuring some the workers. So I don't think anyone want to ride them anyway.

It's been such a banking nightmare wonder what other corners were cut.

Well, if it isn't a hoax, they may find an investor for this building named Bruce Wayne.

To the Bat pole Robin!

whew! hope my deposit on that 13th floor condo is still good

I believe the number of news sources has increased dramatically over the past twenty years while the number of actual reporters has declined.

IMO, I do not think this is true what I believe what is happening is the quality of the reporter has declined to an amateuristic level.

I think you are right. I should have said "trained journalists" instead of reporters.

My wife gets tired of me asking, after a "news" story with too many "could","may", etc in it, are they reporting the news or selling soap? -- JHF

possibly but...Martians have arrived on our planet....its been verified by Orson Wells. you can trust his authentic reporting.

you can always depend on the internet.......... right?

Abraham Lincoln once said, 'If it's on the internet, it's gotta be true.'

I read that somewhere too..... Gotta be true.

You're right, the news readers on the TV just read the stuff off the internet the same way that I do, I suppose for people who can't do it for themselves. The difference is that they decide what to read instead of me, which generally reflects their political ideology. I'm happier with my own biases rather than theirs.

And guess what? When you go to see your doctor for an ailment, he does the same for a prognosis with Google.

When you call an emergency number about a medical emergency, the person on the phone has a card deck and asks you questions. You say yes or no determines the next card they read off of. Basically the same thing. You're not talking to a medical expert, just somebody with a Rolodex in front of them.

this is going way off topic........... but in the jest of the conversation.

Back in the 90's I was talking to a rather young attorney which was part of an army of attorney's that won a large case against Ford.

He was saying for what an attorney does, that 98% of what they do is file documents (with the courts and such) and that someone could and should write a program that would do this.

With about 2% probably involves to actually going and argue a case in court or other types of litigation.

Speaking of litigation, I was eating in a restaurant, downtown where our banking and attorneys are located, and I overheard a discussion between two attorney's on a divorce or something, It was nothing more than a wink and a handshake that consist of, well our last trial, I let you have the upper hand, this time it's my turn.

Yes, I know.

I'm for the death penalty, however since I know that kind of wheeling and dealing goes on between Prosecutors and Defense attorneys, I'm against it for that reason. The justice system is not reliable nor credible enough to be allowed that kind of responsibility anymore. If they ever really were.

well, maybe if lady of justice is blind, replace the balance with a coin and it'll make little difference and be a lot cheaper. ^{facetiously said}

Don't we all get our news from Facebook posts these days?
