Nope. My opinion is that they do it to a lesser degree. You implied there isn't any evidence beyond my mouth. History books say otherwise

they certainly are. They convert, reproduce, move to an area, gain more numbers, take positions of power. Democrats do it from their strongholds and Muslims have been gaining momentum

As a guy with an Ag Business background I would say that is ridiculous.

Inflation is compounding so that always has an effect, but that's not the reason for the increase we are seeing now.
I said repeatedly this would happen with the BBB and got called a panican for it. Trump has an economic policy of inflation, that's a fact.
Again, no disagreement. In my restaurant world covid is a big player when it comes to parts and inflationary prices. I have to presume other industries are dealt the same hand to one degree or another even 6 years later. Hell, we had a franchise close down because of the covid hole that was dug but current conditions made the light at the end of the tunnel way farther

We are essentially a satellite of Texas and have been feeding them labor for some time. We essentially have a very under educated populace and, generally, a shitty work force. Keeping the top tier employees in state and letting them have kids that are taught their work ethic will pay dividends

There is economic lag, but it's not 6 years.
Depends on the sector but certainly isn't wholesale. Covid effects are very much still in play

you are correct but the devout do it to a higher degree

People still cannot figure out that terrible covid decisions are just starting to get baked in. Economic lag is a concept that is lost on many. Hell, we cannot get people to understand supply and demand

That worked for marvel. But DC you need Batman and Superman to kick off the universe.
This is their whole problem right here. They never got a starting point that worked for them. They rushed things to keep up with Marvel instead of being ok with being behind them. They could have done a Phase 1 like pace but felt the need to close the gap

The creators of Smallville, as well as the actors, wanted an animated reboot. DC shut that down - they had the animation style and the actors/creators/writers from the original show on board. Why that never happened, remains a mystery to me. Seems as if that would be hugely entertaining and successful.
You just randomly reminded me that John Schneider mentioned this to me one time. We were holding an event on his property around here and I was complimenting him as the best Jonathan Kent

in the end though I dont find this as that big of a deal overall mainly because kids should be talking to their parents even if those parents are dumbasses when it comes to this stuff. still rather see them talking to their parents
I agree with this. It is just ironic considering the state and their politics
We were always going to benefit as Louisiana is used to being cornholed by the energy sector and lax labor laws. If we are smart we would start tailoring our many universities to have programs that feed Starbase.
You paid for Celestial tier?! I've actually never done one of these. I was willing to buy it and go from there. My goal was to find a group that wants to play and maybe set up dates moving around the area. Maybe one month it is in BR, another in Nola, another in the northshore. In Houma we can use my restaurant's side room

I consider myself centrist and not religious at all. Maybe the latter being the bigger influence but people who are devout use positions of power to force their beliefs on the populace. It doesn't matter the denomination. We are running into the problem of freedom of religion meeting ideals that do not jive with the established ideals
Because you need a logic based woman and the majority are emotion based. For example: When discussing food stamps and what is necessary you always see that woman that says "what about a kid needing a birthday cake". Neverminded you can buy almost everything you need to bake a cake, use subsidized internet, and do it yourself all while having staple items left over for other meals.

People want billionaires to do more for society and he is doing just that. People are too caught up in their own selfish desires to see what the guy is doing

Who knew an incident in Terrebonne would be the next powder keg of BLM.
When BLM was a thing a good portion of the police plan was to keep any protests away from nice neighborhoods with a high concentration of NFA firearms. Those protesters were being protected and didn't even know it
