Might be to clear his record for getting buildings named after him?

---

He did get a statue in 2018 without much fuss so I don't know if LSU needs much public relations cover. Most people in the area are pretty much at peace with him being generally a decent guy that made a mistake.

And a building is a bit much. A hall or wing in an athletic facility maybe. That would be a good idea. I definitely don't know all the names of buildings across campuses in the country but I don't remember any that were named after former player unless they came back as a coach or school official. Or gave a shite ton of cash. Or was a war hero like Alex Box

Although naming something at the dental school after him might not be a half bad idea

Let's not forget Joseph Cao, single term congressman from La's 2nd district was the only Republican congressman to vote yes on Obamacare. And the heavily democrat district thanked him by doing what.... kicking his arse to the curb after 2 years.

The only reason he even got elected in the first place was because Obama was elected a few weeks earlier and the minority voters were in a state of euphoria and just didn't show up to vote in the runoff. Only way a Vietnamese guy would get voted in an African America majority district.

This needs to be done in every single parish. All of them.

---

All 64 parishes are, by law, audited. The problem is the procedures required are really only set up to detect material misstatements. The state laws really need to be changed to require certain additional agreed upon procedures. My wife and brother used to work on audits in south Louisiana parishes and the amount of crap that does not get included in the reports because they don't meet a materiality threshold is mind numbing.

50 years from now Japan GDP will surpass the US if we do not pivot to this approach.

Japan has a 1.15 fertility rate right now. (US is at 1.6 which is not good either but we are at least ahead by half a kid) If they don't fix that, they will be a complete mess in 50 years.

I never said you can't do it. I said I wouldn't. You are free to be a retard if you want.

This doesn’t include marketing and other expenses, I’m sure, just production costs.

---

They did the full court press marketing this thing. I remember seeing advertisements all over the place. Probably an extra 150 million. If there was any financing interest, that isn't going to be included in the production budget either. Disney's free cash flow was pretty bad back in 2022 when production ramped up so they may have needed a good chunk of financing to move this thing along.

I’ve definitely noticed a huge effort to promote women’s sports, not just at ESPN but also at the schools.

---

They do some sneaky shite on their website during basketball season by putting headlines about games but not mentioning that it is women's. They want casual followers to see a headline like "Duke and UNC have overtime thriller" and you find out it is the women's teams when you click on it. They do it to create the illusion of interest in women's sports.

does his son still monitor his porn use?

I usually let an ad hominem attack slide if it is even close to the same ballpark and contradicts the credibility someone has on that specific topic but what does porn usage have to do with voting laws?

In that case, it seems a bit retarded to make that comment.

These kids have encoding issues with the way they learn today. The way your brain works is the more difficult it is to seek information and learn something, the more likely you are to retain it and apply that knowledge. It is technically called "deep encoding". With so much of the learning process automated and spoon-fed to students these days, the heavy lifting that past generations had to do to learn things is lost. The more arduous process of learning something, it becomes much more reinforced and retained.

It isn't that hard send in an auditor and confirm this. Just test the revenue. Go through the ledger and start testing the deposits. You would expect that 90+% would be from credit cards payments. Get the credit card statements. Who purchased the wine. Confirm purchases were made. Then look at the shipping documents. Confirm with whoever they claim to use for shipping.

You could easily blow this up with just an IRS audit.

I know of all sorts of ways you can fake these things contemporaneously but it takes someone who knows accounting and what audits look at. Send out fake shipments through UPS. Create fake customers and buy with prepaid credit cards. Get some suppliers to be conspirators or possibly purchase supplies. Where are the grapes being purchased from? But these people seem so brazen that I seriously doubt they contemporaneously created a fake paper trail. You can try to put it together after the fact but it is really hard to fake credit card UPS statements.
