re: I'd like to learn to fly a plane and get a license. - Dixie Normus
Find a connection at your local airport. Assuming you don’t own a plane, you can expect the full cost of getting a VFR license to be in the $8000-12000 range. Flight instructors in my city run about $200/hr and you have to rent a plane for another $100-200 an hour if you don’t supply one. You need 4...

re: If paying businesses to come here is a positive thing then why is Louisiana so poor? - Dixie Normus
1. Corruption; and 2. (More importantly) We give away the farm in tax incentives. Average tax rate on capital intensive manufacturing (most of the big businesses in LA) averages around a .1% effective tax rate in the first 10 years due to property tax exemptions then jumps to an average effective t...

re: 2 orcas slaughter 19 sharks in a single day in South Africa, eating their livers... - Dixie Normus
I think cornered wasn’t the best choice of words. One of them basically scares the shark and keeps its attention while the other sprints at 45mph from 200 feet below and ambushes the shark before it even knows what happened. They could only corner them near the shoreline, but the shark can go in sha...

re: 2 orcas slaughter 19 sharks in a single day in South Africa, eating their livers... - Dixie Normus
I wish I remembered the name of it to post, but watched a documentary on Orcas and it was fascinating. They’re smarter than even dolphins to the point that they actively control their populations to make sure they’ll always have enough food. Males will only seek out mates when one of their pod dies ...

re: "He is a disciple of RINO Paul Ryan, what do you expect?" - Dixie Normus
So you like social security because you paid into it. That’s all you had to say. If anyone thinks SS will ever get gutted by the government refunding what you paid in, it’ll always be here. For better or worse, it hurts ripping off a band-aid and you don’t have the stones to take the heat for the be...
