I run the planting for my club where we plant 30 club stand plots
26.99 for Gatlin 7 way blend
34.99 for Bluff 10 way blend
Neither uses rye grass.

For my person stand, I got 50/50 oats and wheat 50lb bag for 14.99, then ordered a brassica mix and a clover mix from merit seed company

Area 4 Louisiana.

Plots are chopped. Planning to fertilize and plant Oct 10-11th

Gas prices are an immaterial component of my household monthly spend. Would I prefer it cost $40 to fill up instead of $60? Of course. But it’s not going to change how I live my life.

This is an extremely naive line of thinking.

High diesel prices will leak into large portions of the American economy. Everything you see in a store gets there from a diesel truck. All food that hits the shelves is grown by farmers using diesel and transported by trucks using diesel.

High energy prices are an immediate driver of inflation. It has the largest immediate impact on the average American. I’m a registered independent (downvote all you want), and the reason I have voted for Trump 3 times was for his view on unlocking American energy. This war has done the exact opposite.

I understand our objectives in Iran. Combining it with our actions in Venezuela, the goal was to ensure American dominance of the Petro dollar and put china at bay. But this is a decade plus long endeavor that the average American does not have the stomach nor wherewithal to endure. So in the end, our actions in the Middle East will end in a quagmire, and the American people will only ever experience the short-term pain.

if If Kamala buried the Epstein files, went to war with iran, diesel hit record highs, gasoline getting very near Biden's highs and interest rates were going up you guys would be saying we need to take our country back.

He’s right you know

Of course.

I actually welcome the disagreement and enjoy having such conversations.

In my opinion, I understand why we went into Iran and what our objectives are. But as I posted earlier, I don’t think Trump has enough time left in office to complete the objectives, and the American people won’t tolerate the short term pain and trust the Republicans enough to give them another 4-8 years to achieve the objectives, which will result in us seeing nothing but the short term pain.

Pre covid Tundra. Base model, pay cash. Thank me later.

Yeah because 30k out the door for a truck with 120k miles is such a great deal….

I agree. The play calling has been great, but Sam’s fundamentals has looked rough. Even our local talk shows have been hammering Sam over it

Outside of one really poor play call against Ole Miss, pretty solid so far.

Not his fault our QB has missed multiple wide open TDs

The 2008 financial crisis was our titanic moment. Between then and now, some people were able to get off the sinking ship, but it was the start of the divided line between those who got established before and those who are stuck after.

My in-laws thought I was crazy for putting down 5% on the home I purchased for my wife and I in 2021. I graduated college 6 months prior and it was almost every dollar I had saved up. But I knew if we didn’t get in then with the low interest rates, it wasn’t going to happen. Every year since then has just proven me right. I feel for my friends who weren’t about to do that.

You’re vote isn’t offsetting anything :lol: I’ll still vote red like I always have. But I’m not in some cult. I don’t have to agree with everything someone does, and have no problem calling out people for terrible decisions
