It just doesn’t make sense. I would have never expected someone who is having a personal identity issue and who is now taking medicines to increase the level of a hormone well past levels they are used to, while simultaneously using medicines to block a hormones production that their body is used to, would just “lose it” and go on a suicidal killing spree.

No one could have seen this trend coming….
Likely air defense assets and their required support.

I attempted to price a barge and barge crane for a small chiller change out on one of the river casino boats in BR years ago.

To get the maritime crane and barge the company who’d have had to sail the intercostal from Morgan city which was expensive. Then my company would have had to take out a maritime insurance rider for the project. Then there were the coast guard permits.

All the rigging and incidental coats were way more then the cost of the chiller and the project for over their budget so the project never happened.

A few years back we priced a large boiler being shipped in 1 big piece by Trane vs two large pieces transported by highway and then a tandem crane to pice the pieces up and rotate it into setting position. Highway transport was way cheaper.

No to say their isn’t a problem with most people with a lack of retirement savings, but taking the median of 21 to 64, the 21 year olds still in college or just starting in the corporate world will skew those median numbers. Need to look at age groups and savings. Which is low but not as low as the article insinuates.
this is my philosophy from what i have learned in life:

Some people can learn not to touch a hot stove by telling them not to touch it......

some people need to 1st touch the hot stove to learn not to touch it.....


and then there are some that continue to touch the hot stove.....those you cant help.....
there was a recent lawsuit as well. A now adult sued for malpractice in New York and won $2m because the plastic surgeon removed here breasts while a minor......

New York Times article

so if liberal juries in New York are going against the practice, then they can lose anywhere....

hitting them in their malpractice insurance and they listen.,.....
Their plan is not self procreating, but to brainwash your kids to feed the next generation of libs……
They are more like the empire out of power trying to regain their power…..

That’s the $500B “investment” into the US. They will send us 5m H1B visas valued at $100k each.

I’m actually OK with this. He obviously isn’t a flight risk. He wants the spotlight.

Bail is a deposit on coming back to court. He is definitely coming back to court. He wants the coverage of being “repressed”

Bon marche had a bigger theater (like 8 or more screens. Remember going all the time as a kid. In early ‘80s they had a 98c movie night on Tuesday’s. It was WFMF 98.1 night. (Before they went off the air for a while and came back in 102.5).

But Cortana had a small theater of 2 or 3 screens. Was open in the 90s.

Russia attacking Ukraine was like Germany occupying The checks in 1938 and the rest in 1939. Europe was upset but no war.

Russia attacking lat/estonia/lith would be like Germany attacking Poland. It would trigger a treaty of war.
Not as long as the US is in NATO….


But then again, if we elect another Biden type president, who knows…..
Had to look it up. Assumed she was a citizen. Actually never crossed my mind she might not be.

From Trinidad.
I got to work on one of the anchor stores during rough in and a little bit at the end of the project when I was in college. Also worked across the street on the old Ochsners building by the general.

On a side note, wasn’t until the wall work until a lot of Texas licensee plate contractors made their May to BR.

Was a huge uptick in Latino workers…..
