I don’t know who said it, but socialism only works until you run out of other people’s money.
At a time and in some countries, high taxes on businesses were an incentive to reinvest into the business that way the business never actually made any money to tax. The businesses were constantly funding expansions because any major profits got taxed pretty substantially so it gave an incentive to grow to avoid income taxes. Now profits go to Wall Street and venture capitalists.

CO2 turns into carbonic acid when it touches water.
So Kentwood Springs and Abita Water will now be selling soda water instead of their smooth spring water as they have for decades.
But as far as carbon capture, where is Entergy going to put all that CO2 from those new power plants to power all the DataCenters and plant expansions along the river.
It will probably be some kicking the can saying the president himself may not have the full authority, but congress does and would need to act with a law to clarify or a constitutional amendment. But good luck with Congressional action.
Now we could be surprised and see a 5-4 in support of Trump. But those are the same chances of me getting laid tonight as a single fella with no girlfriend and no game.

I have always wanted to try flying stand by and if airlines would give you a decent rate. Of course that is like hitchhiking, but you can pay a low fare at times.

So if Letlow loses, what are the chances she hops back in her congressional race since qualifying for those races isn’t until August.

Was recently at a Chick FIL A and saw a 30’s something Mom wearing spandex tights that revealed deep into her inner cracks and hips.
When a teen, it was my life’s mission to see these things. Now, it shows up while I’m eating waffle fries on a random Wednesday.
At least Chick Fil A is closed on Sunday so you don’t have to see this on the Lord’s Day at Chick Fil A.

America is still trying to figure out what Kendrick Lamar mumbled in Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans with his dis tracks, followed up by the WTF performance of Bad Bunny in this year’s Super Bowl that you needed a translator or subtitles to understand. So, Rap can die a slow death.
Instead of having the gas tanks below ground they should put a pair of these out front.
I know those are not oil or gas tanks, but the containment shells of a nuclear plant in California.

The second lady went on to share a screenshot of her Old Navy receipt, showing her maternity dress was marked down from $49.99 to $12.49 and had an additional $3.74 deducted in promo discounts.
Anyone remember the faux outrage when Sarah Palin had to be dressed by the GOP strategists and people clutched pearls at the expensive clothing she bought with campaign funds.
Meanwhile Hillary Clinton and other Democrats raid the campaign war chest for the latest Tom Ford fashions and media is silent.
But Melenia Trump wears a stunning Ralph Lauren dress that costs more than the average worker’s monthly take home pay and pays for it with personal funds, and the media salivates as a gotcha moment.

The Gay Houma Serial Killer was definitely a weird one.
Guy started in Kenner tricking men of a certain drifter lifestyle and entice them with a photo of a woman asking them if they wanted to have sex with them. He would ultimately tie up the victims and then asphyxiate them and dump their bodies in isolated areas to be found days or weeks later.
In the early 2000's he moved to Houma and ultimately killed 23 people.

Then go full red, white and blue for the 4th of July.
Just kidding. Most towns should have had American flags from Flag Day June 14th till July 14th.
