Ok, even if you factor in the HS, it’s the 2nd ranked HS in the area and top 10 statewide. So your statement is still goofy.
For public schools.

U-High’s academics are overrated. It’s a great bang for you buck school since it’s “public”, but other schools in the EBR area have better academics

Look, South Africa is a beautiful country with wondeful people. It's just that like anywhere else, it has good neighbohoods and horrible neighborhoods. In South Africa the horrible neighborhoods are called townships and are separate and localized, not spread throughout any city. That means you know where they are so stay TF away from these locations. I honestly encourage anyone to visit. Go on game drives in Kruger National Park, learn to surf, enjoy fabulous weather, visit any one of over 350 wine farms and eat some of the best food in the world.
couldn’t have said it better myself. Africa is an incredible place to visit. It’s a shame the people in charge there are hell bent on running it into the ground.

They are there. It’s just been tough to get to them

Jones level of play a 3rd is probably equal to year one Tommy White or early year Jacob Berry
No way that ball went 468….

It has to happen. We just keep kicking the can down the road, like the saints and their cap situation. But politics keep getting in the way. Nobody wants to be the president when the financial bandaid gets ripped off.

Calling me an idiot doesn’t change the fact that rates were raise too slow from 2015 to 2018, and they shouldn’t have been lowered in the back end of 2019.

They were keeping artificially low, with Trump championing the artificially low rates because he didn’t want to be the bad guy to slow down the economy. The economy was humming along. There was zero reason to keep the rates for .5% to 2.5% from 2016 to 2019. They were still considered historically low. By 2018 the rate should have been around 4.5% to 5%

Landry isn’t worth the piece of paper his report card is printed on

Rates were increased 800%, sans inflation, over Trump's first two years. By contrast, rates were raised just once during Obama's preceding 8yrs.
they should have been raised even higher during his first term.

Rates for the overwhelming majority of Trumps first term were WAY too low. The economy was running red hot into Covid, and because they were keeping rates artificially low we had no legit levers to pull to help when Covid did happen. We had to take rates from artificially low to essentially zero.

Inflation is finally getting back under control. Cutting rates like Trump wants to would just get that inflation running up again

Goodness
Which part do you disagree with?

That it was stupid of Trump to push for artificially low rates during his first term?

Or that rates need to be raised now?

Powell needs to continue to hold his ground. The rates should have been raised faster during Trump’s first term (when Trump was pushing to keep them artificially low, which was a stupid idea), and the rates should stay exactly where they are now
quote:

Why does Powell get a pass
No one is giving him a pass. People are just correctly not assigning all the blame on him.

Inflation was caused by the massive Covid stimulus. Not because of anything Powell did. He could have started raising the rates a bit soon, but massive inflation was coming regardless.

He was correct in raising rates during Trumps first term, and I’d argue they should have been raised even higher. He was smart not to listen to Trump’s calls to keep the interest rate artificially low.
