It’s a way to infuse a continuous revenue stream as to not have to continue to ask donors for money to fund NIL, facilities etc.

A main difference is the cost of living has increased. Back in 80’s you didn’t need mobile phones, wireless internet access, much higher insurance premiums in all facets, auto and property.
The idea that everyone needs to settle and eat shite is pretty absurd. A newly married couple making 80-100k combined maybe 15 years ago could afford a starter home without issue. Now the “starter home” is averaging $400k. So now that couple needs to be making 200k to afford that.
Forget having kids, they’re way too expensive unless one parent can stay home or there are able and willing grandparents around.
Times have changed. Costs have sky rocketed mostly so to complete and utter greed.
People used to have pride in their jobs. You could support a family of 4 by being the manager of the tire department at Sears. And the man that held that job had pride in his company and his place. That’s completely unachievable nwo

re: Wine grape farmers are setting their fields on fire and selling the land

Precisely.
A friend of mine owned a small
Vineyard for several years. He sold his grapes to a high end label that combined his lot with others to make a very high end Cabernet. A few years of bad harvests, combined with a shrinking market and at the time, slowing economy, forced him to get out while he could.
The label he was selling to stopped paying top dollar and opted for cheaper options, thus he had to take way less for his grapes or he couldn’t even offload them at all.
Just wasn’t worth it anymore.

If he’s maxed out his years of service at LSP his pension is set for the most part. May as well go accrue it in another department. As long as the entities aren’t in the same pension fund, it wouldn’t be considered double dipping. He just can’t draw on the pension until he’s not working.
re: Anyone here do lawn/landscape for a living?
Posted by Geauxld Finger on 7/27/26 at 8:46 pm to TheDrunkenTigah
Having a small side biz is probably
Fine if it’s you and maybe a younger relative.
That said, I’ve dealt with lots of lawn guys in my life. The biggest issue is, showing up and communication. If you can get those two things set, you’ll do well.
The money is in commercial landscaping though. Residential will suck your time dry if you get too many chatty Cathy’s

College campuses are excellent creators of “jobs” as absolutely fricking stupid as this one. He’s probably paid quite well too.
re: Best Home Warranty
Posted by Geauxld Finger on 7/21/26 at 11:47 am to Louie11
I hope you’re using the age of those systems and appliances to lower the purchase price. I would do that and convince the owner to install new or use it as a savings and get it installed on your own.
None of those companies will likely warranty those appliances anyway.

You can pay for lifetime alignment at Firestone and get it aligned as many times as you want for the life of your vehicle
re: Recommendations on a good walk behind mower
Posted by Geauxld Finger on 7/17/26 at 2:42 pm to Clames
It needs the yearly cleaning, Oil change, spark plugs and my pull start just broke. I tried to fix that yesterday but the blots are seized. I can’t get them loose. I had to take the entire cover off but even clamping the bolts below in a vice while trying to loosen the bolts didn’t work.
I’m going to order a new assembly and do the maintenance myself. I paid a guy about $150 last time. Took him about 2 weeks. Might call him again And just rent one in the meantime.having an extra mower was never a bad idea, and I could always sell it or repair the Honda and sell it.

I’m definitely getting it repaired but all the repair shops are telling me it’s going to take a few weeks. Last time it took like 60 days. I can’t wait that long and not have a working mower,
I’ll order parts and fix my Honda when I have some free time. I just
Needed something cheap and reliable in the meantime to get through the end of summer.

My Honda has been a beast but yesterday it died on me. Repairs at the mechanic are around $200 so I figure I’d just buy a new one and then order and repair the Honda in my spare time.
Looking to spend around $300. Walmart has a few well reviewed models, as does Home Depot. Not going the electric route. So gas only

Medical billing is one of the worst run fields in the country. Whenever I get a bill from the hospital I literally do not pay it until it’s about to go to collections. 9/10 times the bill is a frick up on part of the medical billing dept
re: America had a love affair with ‘fixer-upper’ homes. That may be over
Posted by Geauxld Finger on 7/17/26 at 10:44 am to Paul Allen
That’s when you could get a fixer upper cheap. Now the fixer upper in a good area costs just as much as the “move in ready” house used to cost.
