It's crazy how far to the left the Democrat party has shifted in the last 30 years. They used to compete with the GOP on ideas. Now they are openly trying to win through illegal immigration and voter fraud.

The SCOTUS isn't too worried about it, minus three justices, apparently.

Most white shoe law firms on Poydras are considered to be doing really well at $500+ an hour depending on the type of client. Even 300 to 400 is great for certain types of work.

Houston and Atlanta would laugh at that. There are some really good lawyers in Nola and they are a bargain comparatively speaking.

All part of the globalist liberal agenda. Every state like California. Dysfunctional and third world.

A lot of the old streets in Nola didn't have curbs so they would put those shells between the asphalt and the sidewalk. My grandmother's house had that.

The ones who are really being screwed by this are the moderate Latino voters in L.A. who voted for Pratt. Their voices are being stifled. There aren't enough white people left in L.A. for them to move the needle.

They had to tear down the old cotton exchange building because it was structurally unsound and in danger of collapse. My ancestors worked in that building.

No. LSU was not beating eventual national champion UNLV in 1990 nor Duke in 1991. Those were legendary, all time great teams. LSU had a handful of superstars but was a fairly unspectacular team across the board especially at guard, even with Chris Jackson in the mix in 1990. Dale's two final four teams were better despite not having big lottery picks.

Ironically it was uneven, poor recruiting that did in the Shaq teams, despite the perception of Dale as only a recruiter.

The rematch led to the playoffs, and Les Miles was so dumb that he told the on field reporter after the game "it would be an honor" to play Alabama again that season. Be careful what you wish for. The correct response would have been "we beat them at their place, we're ready for another challenger."

Prior to the BCS NCG, that LSU team was being discussed as the best team of all time. They had the resume to back it up. Bama had no resume that year, and they sat home and watched the SECCG on TV while ESPN allowed Saban to campaign for them on their broadcast. It was all so gross.

This is a very accurate summary and the lawyers in the second group are the only ones you would want to hire if you were actually seriously injured and the party at fault won't pay. There are not a lot of these types of firms, but they do very well, justifiably so.

The first group, the high volume billboard types, run claim handling mills and most of their cases are dubious soft tissue stuff. They know their clients are dishonest to a degree, but we don't have loser pays in the U.S. so there is little downside to filing a frivolous lawsuit, and they are back stopped by state court judges who used to do plaintiff work before running for judge, and who take campaign donations from the plaintiff bar. Insurance companies settle and give these firms checks purely out of cost benefit considerations. You've got to either be a huge bleeding heart or an absolute mercenary to do this work long term and make good money doing it. The actual faces on the billboards who make the most just do marketing and business development, they don't do the legal work.

The last group, the solo guys looking for that one big score, that's got to be a turbulent, boom or bust existence. I know some of the lottery winner types. They are the exception not the rule.

Most licensed lawyers either don't actually practice law, or don't make very much doing it.

How about hitters who can drive the ball rather than send it straight up? Purely using our two games in Hoover as the control group, that was our main problem. Pitchers did enough for us to win those games imo. And we were missing Schimdt and Cooper.

In fact, maybe hire a hitting coach.
