And I pointed out that different economic experts can serve different purposes, and what they say has less to do with reality and everything to do with trial advocacy. If this is your argument, it's just a non-starter. I don't expect you to know much about trial advocacy. I happen to know a thing or two about it. That is exactly what is going on here.

If you can't see how the addition of several new millionaires to the economy plus several jobs, plus filled restaurants and hotels downtown won't be a boon to the economy, then I suppose we can't help you.

If you think the economics of a city is some sort of zero-sum game, i.e., guns vs. butter, then again, we can't help you.

You're entitled to your opinion. We all know what it is. Here, we are talking about legal issues and a trial. You want to talk about the use of a public subsidy and to do that, you want to interrupt a conversation about a very interesting lawsuit. Be polite and start your own thread. Trust me, people will not ignore you. You're a celebrity now

That should be your topic.
