Anyone been to the Greek Heritage Festival in New Orleans? Been meaning to go for years

It’s great. Lots to take in from a cultural standpoint. Bring a blanket and sit out on the lawn and chill. Or run the 5K. Whatever you feel like doing! They used to rent paddle boats for you to take out on Bayou St John, but they stopped doing that recently. Plenty of delicious Greek food and pastries. Get the baklava sundae.

This is the 50th anniversary of the festival. If there was ever a time to go, this would be a good one.

Exactly. US Rig count is -4 since January 1 and -36 from the same time a year ago. It's not because of permitting.

I knew this would happen. Trump was running around shouting “Drill. Baby, drill” getting everyone excited.

And the drillers are all like,”yeah, no thanks.”

Imagine if we did drill like mad. Crater the price of oil…. Probably have $1.00 gas.

Who wants to drill right now? Oil is currently $63/barrel. Can’t turn a profit drilling it at that price.

re: If we have a recession- who will you blame?

Let’s define a recession in simplified terms-
2 quarters with negative growth.

Oh ok, so we're going to go back to using that definition now.

I totally forgot about that whole bruhaha....Definitions change!!! What nonsense!

Remind me: was it Democrats and the Media trying to call it a recession during Trump's 1st term but GDP wasn't negative for 2 consecutive quarters? Or was it during Biden's term when GDP was negative for 2 consecutive quarters and the media refused to call it a recession?

Either way, it was ridiculous how the media would change definitions on a whim. Just like how they changed the definition that a vaccine didn't actually guarantee immunity, therefore the mRNA shots could be called "vaccines" despite not preventing you from catching COVID.

And I prescribe to the belief that no one president or elected body can cause a recession or expansion. They can affect how good or bad it will be, but the business cycle is bigger than any one person. Always will be. Otherwhise, why wouldn't the party in power just flip the switch and keep making us richer (and them in power) inperpetuity?

re: Republican Senator Plans Shock 9/11 Hearings, Says 'My Eyes Have Been Opened'

Posted by TDFreak on 4/22/25 at 3:02 pm

This country has so much stuff we need to address, and yet here we are dragging 9/11 back up again.

This is a waste of resources. And at the end of these hearings, will the real people behind it (yes, the Saudis) ever be brought to justice? The answer is no.
