No, but dishing out 350,000 worth of fines to the Falcons and their DC, and all the media backlash over it? Seems like an overreaction.
seems appropriate enough, not enough to break any of these guys bank but enough to send a message to stop their shithead kids from being shitheads

re: The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has long been a joke, but this year may be the worst ever

Since when is rap considered Rock and Roll? No fricking way they should get in.
There are already rappers, so it isn't genre specific despite the name. Cher, Al Green, Gil Scott-Heron and many other non-rock and roll acts are in with varying degrees of worth.
With that in mind, Outkast is well deserving to be in there.

I won't touch Chinese machinery for my production facility unless they have a support facility in the US. Sure, it's cheap, and works well for a while, but tech support and replacement parts are a nightmare. Most of my machines are European, with one Taiwanese machine being the exception, and it's been fantastic.
Have some experience dealing with Chinese forklift MFG. Their product support is pathetic and the build isn't much better. Saw two with serial numbers next to each other (ex, 003, 004), they had different peddles, steering wheels and parking breaks. Like they just grabbed parts off the shelf and throw them on. Hydraulic lines that look like a garden hose.
I see a ton of them at customers' post covid supply chain issues and Toyota EPA issues. They are fine for putting a few hours a month on them but you'd be lucky to get 2 years with heavy use out of that crap.
I need to talk to my home goods supply guy that I used to sell too. They were in hell when port of LA was backed up cause they couldn't get product in. They do flooring and molding, all of that came from china. Glad i don't have a renovation planned

Edit: everyone in this thread is acting like the reporter is saying the tattoos don’t exist. But he’s not saying that, he’s saying the typed letters numbers don’t exist. And Trump sounds like he’s arguing those typed letters numbers do exist, though I think he’s misunderstanding the reporter like everyone in this thread. This whole thing seems to be a misunderstanding
Trump is showing his age. Dementia trump is going to be way more entertaining than dementia Biden cause Trump can’t help himself enough to avoid cameras

Neither is OutKast
If we accept the notion that rappers are allowed in. OutKast absolutely belongs in
OutKast first three albums are great. Next two were massive selling albums, about as big as you could get towards the end of the MTV era.
I couldn’t care less about it

Exxon Chemicals used Louisiana's incentives to bargain with Corpus to getting more incentives. Politicians are suckers quite often. That ethylene cracker (JV with Exxon and Saudi Arabia) was going to be built there the entire time due that's where the feedstock was coming from, NGL's from Eagleford and Permian.
if this was how together Louisiana and the other anti-ITEP type framed their arguments, i would be more willing to listen. A healthy skepticism with any government handout is fair. All of these breaks should be audited heavily.
Instead, they say things like
quote:
“This lost revenue means Plaquemines Parish misses out on $316 million for schools, $226 million for law enforcement, and $83 million for health services over 10 years,” the report reads. “In return, Plaquemines LNG promises to create 300 jobs, meaning it receives $2.8 million in ITEP subsidies per job created.”
This is just a disingenuous argument from people who don't want a plant to be built, they would be against it if they were paying 200% property taxes for climate reasons.
They will also only focus on direct permanent jobs with Forumsa or whatever. Anyone with any industry experience knows that there is exponentially more economic activity that goes to support these plants than just direct labor.
Just another shining example of why democrats are losing the working man because they actively hate the one industry that will employee just about anyone that can piss clean, turn a wrench or has a CDL.

Believe it or not, Houston (proper and metro area) has invested a ton in new transit the past 20 years and its paying off.
by transit, do you mean highways and couple of bus rapid transit lines no one uses?
TXdot only cares about moving cardo; right, wrong or indifferent. Our highway infrustration is about getting people to burbs and getting product out of the port.
Uber/rideshare has made getting around town way easier than it was. No matter how much redditors melt about, there is no rail project that will happen here. Cost too much and the state will never pony up.
