Lewis Black | The Rant Is Due Best of Atlantic City

[@treyb387]

We saw Lewis Black live in March of 2019, and I got to meet him after the show. He said during his bit how someone told him "Trump must be great material for you comedians!" and he said "yeah, Trump is great for comedy in the same way that having a stroke is good for taking a nap". We all died from laughter, even Republicans in the audience.

[@Office_Zombie]

I am glad to see that Lewis is still around and doing comedy. I use to watch him all the time back on Just for Laughs and again when he was on The Daily Show.

[@jerrycallender9927]

You just brought back a memory. Mama and I visited the Atlantic City Boardwalk twice in the 1950's.

[@georgehays4900]

Went to Atlantic City often as a kid and young man in the 60s. It was awesome before gambling. Saw Miss America pageant.

I want to visit the boardwalk in Atlantic City. It sounds really depraved - I like that. Bless

[@asterix7842]

It’s not. I love the Boardwalk. Once you get a couple blocks away from it - that’s a different story

[@archaicsoul4597]

Atlantic City beaches are just landscapes of shattered seashells, it’s like walking on broken glass

[@negao360]

Those are the calcified tears of those who came, and left penniless. The tears are endless, and it's sad. From AC, so I saw what happened to those who come seeking riches, and ended up in the AC rescue mission.

[@asterix7842]

I love going to AC. I love the Boardwalk. I used to play poker at the Showboat until it closed. I like the Borgata, but it’s a long way from the Boardwalk.

[@johnstevenson9956]

I fail to see how anyone can run 3 casinos, the one business on the planet where you're guaranteed to make a profit, declare bankruptcy, refuse to pay for work done and materials used, and still sit on 2.5 billion dollars in the bank?

[@thehammer4625]

Technically, his casino company went bankrupt 3 times. It really started when gambling was approved in Delaware, then Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, New York, Massachusetts. AC no longer had an East Coast monopoly on gambling.

[@sanford943]

Probably not as rich as he says

[@tammystockley-loughlin7680]

I'm with you. I work in a grocery store and I often just wonder at the difference...especially T.P., I'm old enough to remember those 1000 sheet rolls selling 4 for $1, now it's over $1 a roll. I'm glad to not "need" that fluffy stuff...it's premium, lol. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during this pandemic and social crisis

[@ericbeattie761]

I haven't been in Atlantic City since the 70s. Hadn't had any reason to go back

[@lemar_draxxy7312]

theres something therapeutic about seeing luis black rant

[@Slotnikoff]

Growing up in the sixties, Atlantic City was my family's vacation resort. There were no fucking casinos back then. Some people have said that by the 60s, Atlantic City had gone downhill, but you couldn't have convinced me of that. Hell, The Beatles performed at its Convention Hall in '64. Yet because of all the naysayers, A.C. went "casino" in the seventies. Good call; the current mess that it's in is very sad.

[@johnhill6673]

Bankrupted 3 casinos? Of course, when you're skimming off the top.

[@shinrapresident7010]

The mob skimmed off the top and they ran successful casinos. Really says how greedy someone can be when they were greedier than mobsters. His TV shows were a scam, his university was a scam, his casinos were a scam, his politics were a scam.

[@janawade5317]

Love Lewis! Saw him in Memphis recently. Not near what I expected, but still enjoyed it. Guess he thought the audience couldn't handle the REAL SHIT he has to say. Very smart man. People Suck, but he doesn't 😂😂

[@jeffmullins1286]

On here real quick lol

[@nyfinest017]

Wow Lewis made me realize how Atlantic city still looks the way it does for years with all of those suckers I mean people dropping money at the tables.

[@johannborchersfriends]

Mr Black hope everything is going great for you, because it's going fucking terrible for me! Love your work.

[@Washougalite1]

Yay!

The boardwalk 🤯🥺

[@LMLR187]

I wonder what he'd say about the Showboat and its transformation.

AC is my home(several generations well before the casinos were built). I will never apologize for coming from such an awesome place. Residents know the deal.

[@lashropa]

[@Dr.TJ1]

Atlantic City reminds me of Detroit. How could you have all three of the big U.S. automobile manufacturers headquartered in a city, the factories for those companies also located in the same area, Motown, a few other large industries, and all the income that comes from those and basically fail? Talk about mismanagement! How about saving a little money during the good times to avoid catastrophe during the down times? Ever think of that? Fortunately, Detroit is starting to make a comeback, but there are still entire neighborhoods where half the businesses and homes were abandoned and left to rot. Those Detroit city managers must have all went to Trump University.

[@taylorbrubaker816]

Ever been to those auto manufacturers? They don't give a fuck about Detroit, Michigan, or any of the people that live in the state. It's greed that keeps Detroit a shit hole, greed and people that have been affected by it for decades to the point it's their way of life to live the way people do in that town.

[@Dr.TJ1]

@@taylorbrubaker816 It's a combination of the greed of the auto manufacturers and incompetence by the city managers. I've said it for years: all workers may just be replaceable cogs in a wheel but nobody wants to be treated like a replaceable cog in a wheel. For a while I was against unions because I thought they had served their purpose and there's an expensive and sometimes corrupt management structure that comes with unions too, but now I think we still need them because so many business owners are so incredibly greedy. It's not enough to be multibillionaires, they think they have to be the richest of the rich. Truly sad.

[@taylorbrubaker816]

@@Dr.TJ1 We need new unions, the UAW is as corrupt as can be from the top down. Maybe the unions of the past were strong and actually stood up for workers but the UAW is useless. You're right about city management, Detroit specifically has been screwed over by corrupt city officials time and time again.
