I had a friend at LSU tell me about Bitcoin in 2009-2010 and purchased 10 coins for about $1 per coin. Forgot about them, threw laptop away 3-4 years later and did not save the hard drive info.

Even with prices taking lately, this simple mistake cost me $770,000

But the point is, this isn't about specifically you. This is about your average, hard-working, law-abiding young professional who is having to rent until their 30s and hold off on starting a family because, outside of taking a 2nd job and working a legitimately unhealthy and unreasonable amount of hours, they can't afford a starter home because median wages haven't kept up. That's the problem that needs solving, because its the worst median income to housing cost ratio in the last several decades. And intentionally raising housing prices is only going to make it worse. Just to reiterate, it's about empowering the median worker of their age group who's doing most everything right, also known as your current and future middle class which is what this country was built on.

This is the crux of the argument. People wonder why marriages and families are not happening and much of it leads back to unaffordability. If men can’t afford a family home, they will often abandon the pursuit of marriage all together. Our middle class is dying and young people feel hopeless. You can go to college, save, work hard, get a 6 figure job and still not be able to afford a family home in a safe neighborhood. It’s very frustrating

I am in the 85th percentile of income earners and cannot afford a 50th percentile home. Something is severely broken

This is not a smart take whatsoever. Increasing affordability was one of the main things Trump ran on and people voted for

As a mid 30s male in DFW, I’d need to make about $200k to afford a decent home in a good area of town within 30 minute commute. Very few people fit that income demo and these housing prices are killing the middle class

I honestly feel like this administration realizes there isn’t much they can do to affect home affordability and had pivoted from lowering prices to maintaining equity because it’s much easier

The average age of a first time homebuyer in 2025 was 40 years old and median sales price was $446k. This is totally out of whack

I like blancorillo and Hoover at pilot debrief. No flash but a lot of substance.

Pilot Debrief is by far the best, most informative aviation based Youtube channel. Will be interesting to see what they have to say about this crash after the NTSB findings come out

So I am guessing the library is being built in the parking lot where Lockett is now?

Are they tearing down Middleton and opening the quad back up as originally designed?

The new building is set to be 198,000 square feet and three stories. It will be able to hold approximately 2,400 student study seats and will include two general-use classrooms.

“LSU currently has study seats for about 5% of students versus peer averages of 14%,”

---

With about 40,000 students enrolled (grad and undergrad) at LSU currently, this new library will only seat about 6% of students when our peers are at 14%. Typical Louisiana

If you look at this new, stabilized, video you can see that the agent in the green shot him from behind at the 16 second mark. Going frame by frame, you can see the pistol recoil in his hand

CV angles are probably a bit out of whack. I love a good leveling kit but the generally accepted rule is no more than 2” before you start getting into potential problems. I’d remove the front and downsize if you want long term reliability

NIL is money from deals made from boosters/ outside sources of the university that compensate players for their name, image and likeness used in commercials, public appearances

99% of these dudes are getting “NIL” money for nothing. No commercials or appearances of any kind

What a poonani. Can you imagine that weakling being a police chief? Portland is even worse off than I thought

TV ratings and revenue continue to climb. Despite so many griping about the state of cfb, the sport continues to grow.

People may watch on TV but the fan fervor is significantly diminished from what it was 5-6 years ago.

I'm sure there are many people like me who still watch their team but aren't very invested anymore. I used to watch just about every SEC game and now I don't really care much

It would also to be interesting to see how these changes have impacted memorabilia sales. Only speaking for myself, I used to buy tons of LSU football gear (hats, shirts, etc.) but don't really care to spend the money anymore
