Memphis would be a very bad choice … and I live in Tennessee.

Define ‘fiscally conservative’.

Because Clinton raised income taxes across the board (30% in his retroactive ‘93 tax hike bs) and increased federal spending (50% in 8 years).

He essentially redistributed wealth from top earners and corporations to government / social programs.

When the government raises taxes and increases spending, I don’t call that fiscally conservative, I call it lazy.
The law was pushed by M.A.D.D. and of course Insurance companies (who fund our politicians).

Biden signed it into law.

This week some republicans tried to include abolishing the law in a new bill. It failed when 57 R’s voted with the D’s.

They claim it’s about public safety and reducing impaired drivers.

There are roughly 300 million cars on US roads.

There are roughly 40,000 fatalities per year, of which 13,000 or so are from impaired drivers.

Let’s don’t address the problem by raising and enforcing laws targeting impaired drivers (permanently suspending licenses after 2nd DUI as an example) …. Instead let’s mandate that all new cars be equipped with interior smart cameras that will police everyone.

Our government needs to focus on burdening the perpetrators rather than grouping all of society into the same bucket.

We are too soft on crime and this is an example of politicians talking about how much they care when someone dies …. but in reality we don’t want to call out those who commit the crime … they would rather treat everyone the same … and get their campaign funded by those benefiting from our actions.
When the Repair Cost + the Diminished Value Cost is greater than the Replacement Value minus the Salvage Value.
Depends on Trim. $18k for 2wd up to $25k for 4WD/TRD. Just my guess with a quick look.
The ole Big dog in a little puddle or a little dog in a big puddle. If I’m the same dog, give me the big puddle.
The reality is that your graph shows a racial change in the makeup of a growing student body.

But schools should be about academics and not demographics …. So any standardized testing data over this same period?

I tend to agree … have an upvote!
iPad was definitely not on BK’s prior admin staff, he knows much about what was going on.
Franklin, TN is a very nice area to live. Conservative, at least for now. Middle Tennessee has milder seasons compared to the north. Spring storms will get your attention, but overall it’s a nice area.
He’s actually from the 70’s … he just bounces to 2025 to deal because he makes more money

Buy ‘70’s, sell ‘25, profit.
Back in the early 80’s our frat would get our betting sheets on wednesday from the local bookie. One weekend I put $10 on a 10 game parlay. I was 9 for 9 going into the late Hawaii game. If they cover, I was going to win something like $500-$600. Hedging was not an option. So, we went out to Murphys and celebrated like the rainbows could do no wrong. Woke up the next morning pretty hungover, checked the scores, and let’s just say …. I celebrated too early.
Everyone’s situation is different.

I personally would sell the assets in the brokerage account in the most tax efficient manner and pay cash for the home and improvements. Also save your receipts for the capital improvements to raise your basis for when you sell down the road.

Also, just my 2 cents, but if I was the home seller, I wouldn’t enter into a contract with a Home Sale Contingency.

Good luck!

Yeah, Cajun steamer has some good food too.
I read his post more as showing a kid how effective TD is with helping posters. I was just tossing out recs so he could show 3 replies to that kid within 10 minutes. If he really wanted to find some good family sports bars near him he could just use yelp. They should all have the game in at least one tv.

I’m not familiar with north of the airport. However Gumbo Bros in the gulch or White alligator in the Franklin factory. These are more grab a bite to eat and watch rather than watch the entire game.

The shooter walks in front of the camera at the very beginning of the video.
