The rates are regulated, the fuel cost is passed along at cost.

Perhaps Delta doesn’t have the purchasing power that Entergy did.

And since they can just pass along the cost… they might not be motivated.
Accountants…

Ironic timing of this comment.

Botkeeoer, which was supposed to revolutionize accounting with AI, went tits up over the weekend.

Botkeeper ran for 11 years and raised $100 million in funding and in the rare moments they got something done correctly, no one trusted them and it turns out businesses want to work with actual humans.

This was after another AI accounting outfit, Bench, went tits up last year.

Meanwhile, in audit, where AI is kinda doing some things well, clients are demanding lower fees because there are less human hours to pay for. The firms thought they were going to keep the efficiency savings, but the clients want them…
The NCAA is a private membership association.

How can a judge tell a private membership organization how to run itself?

Based on what you linked, that sounds more like an issue with FAA.


FAA trying to avoid another mid air collision with military assets since it seems like military is flying outside normal opps and not being completely forthcoming

But 10 days is nuts
Saks is closing because of re org and I would not be surprised if all of them outside NYC close with 12-24 months

Adlers is closing because the grandkids don’t want to work

Palace Cafe closed because landlord skyrocketed rental rates

Canal Place shopping area will be all condos soon..
So the FAA ordered a 10 day closure, causing airlines to cancel flights today, and then 8 hours later says oopsie?

WTF is going on at the FAA?

Radio just said NOLA airspace closed for 5 days now too. Is that true? I haven't seen that reported yet.


There is a drone restriction during Mardi Gras because it’s a high security event.

It happens every year.
Pope Leo accepted his resignation today.

He turned 75 a while ago but was asked to stay on until the bankruptcy case was concluded. That has occurred.

Archbishop Checchino who was announced last fall as his successor, officially takes over.

I think there is about to be a lot of changes…

I’m assuming this child support is court mandated.

No court is mandating what you can or can’t say on Facebook

the cost of monthly insurance would be tough to handle for a teen.


It costs me $200 every 6 months when I was added to my patents policy.

It costs $900 every 6 months for my kid now

30 ish years apart. 5.14 percent inflation rate. Prob higher if I had a son.
Cost is a big part of this.

Yes, some kids just don’t want to as well. My oldest was 16 before she was interested.

On the other hand, my just turned 15 year old is chomping at the bit and is doing drivers Ed this summer and every weekend asks me to take her to practice driving in parking lots
35-0. Win In Hoover and they give us a few extra games and win those also.
I thought Adelson said they had no interest in selling?

Although if I was a Mavs fan I would hope they do.

The Choctaws and Chickasaws spend a fortune lobbying Texas politicians.


Correct.

The blocking of more gambling in Texas has less to do with moral superiority and more to do with Indian (feather not dot) campaign contributions

Small bull sharks… yes.
I didn’t know you could renew in app.

Sounds like similar fees to those public tag agency places.

One of the very few things I write a check for, no service fee. Screw giving the state any extra money.


Awfully brave trusting the USPS in Louisiana to timely deliver

And now that they no longer postmark at the local office, you can’t even rely on that if they get your renewal late

$3 for immediate confirmation is just a cost of life. It sucks but I don’t trust the alternatives

Amazing what Louisianans can do when they put their minds to it


The massive incompetence of Louisiana (government aa well as private enterprise) really started in the 70s. This state accomplished a lot of great things before that.

Anyone ever gone over the rails and does it have gators?


Yes. A few years ago they raised the rails in the southbound span and this helped. No gators.
