Why are these things being conflated?

Either the guy did it or not. Whether the pool was poorly built, rushed, etc., is irrelevant.

So? Do you think the Super Bowl needs security and cleanup?

It’s a huge economic gain for the city. They should be making it easier and better, not harder.
The city should be paying the krewes, not charging them.

Cities fight to attract major events, often paying millions to bowl games and festivals to lure them.

This is backwards, which is normal for Louisiana

Wild that after 9-11 after all the bullshite about TWIC cards and port security that an unlicensed illegal can operate a 21" passenger boat for hire in the middle of NYC.


Is it though?

I doubt that, even at the highest levels of NYC authority, anything would've been done in advance if they were made aware this was going on. In fact, I'm sure they did know this type of thing was happening, and it likely is happening today.

Them using tarps as a roof does not count as a trash heap. It's simply a cheap roof. Other single pieces of trash didn't count according to the OP.


I'm only joking.

It's funny that a "win" still shows a completely trashy spot.

No, you did not.

That house qualifies as either a trash pile or rubble, and there is other debris laying around.

Seems pretty standard practice in our healthcare system.

Why is "out of network" even a fricking thing?


I have no issue with "out of network" as providers are able to negotiate with insurance companies. But that implies some choice, which you do have in most facets of your healthcare.

That does not apply with ambulance services and emergency rooms. It is moronic that you could be in an accident, where you have no choice which ambulance service picks you up or which emergency room they take you to, and this could potentially cost you thousands of dollars extra.

Edit to add as was pointed out in an above post: Everyone billing from a specific facility should have to be "in network". You shouldn't be able to have multiple in and out of network providers during the same surgery.

He's no longer a congressman and they don't need him anymore, so he will be their sacrificial lamb.

He sucks and I hope he gets sent to Supermax, but he's a symptom not the disease.

You same people complain about how immigrants are a drain and we shouldn’t spend tax dollars on them and then say we should spend tax dollars to jail them?

Make it make sense.


I get what you are saying and somewhat agree. But this guy killed two people. Do we trust that if he is deported that he will actually be imprisoned in his home country? If we can make those assurances, then I am all for deporting him. If not, then he could be crossing the border and back in America as a free man in no time.

This is El Salvador, so he likely would be imprisoned, but as a general discussion regarding all illegals in similar situations, I'm not confident that other countries would punish them upon deportation.

Then start with yourself in ways to unite us


So your idea of “uniting” us is to segregate a population of natives onto poverty stricken rural ghettos?

The reservation system was and is a horrible idea.

The mini-documentary they released dealing with Brent's exit and passing was a tough watch at times but helpful into seeing what went on.


Yes, Brent was an a-hole.
quote:

I don’t feel bad at all for what happened to the Indians. They fricked around, they found out.



Agreed. Also the reservation system was a bad idea. They should’ve been forced to assimilate or die.


Also, how long do people think the status quo was going to continue?

Someone was going to conquer the New World.

Since i have 3 kids and thats not part of the equations, name one thing of actual value that getting married again would add to my life?


Nothing. If you already have children and find yourself single, there’s no reason to get married. Especially if you are older.

You failed to answer the question.


Your question was: "Who is so rich they can afford to loan the US trillions of dollars?"

I did answer it. There is no one person or group, but collectively there are millions of individuals, companies, funds, governments, etc.

Perhaps you are aware of government backed securities like bonds?

The largest percentage of U.S. debt is held by banks, investment funds, insurance companies, mutual funds, IRAs, individual investors, etc. Foreign governments own about 25 percent.

quote:

LSU needs to swing its big dick and take control of a radius around campus. Forget relying on BR government. LSU should control.


LSU could run Baton Rouge but weak leadership prevents it. LSU should’ve bought up the ghetto around campus decades ago.

If I were chancellor, I would tell them to get it under control or we are playing multiple neutral site games.

Where do they think the urine goes when you piss in the toilet?

We are not losing or gaining water here.
