  1. FWIW ‘the computers’ think aub is around 30 rank.
  2. So we have a guy who’s never really practiced law as our country’s head attorney. And we have an attorney who’s never practiced medicine at any level as our chief medical expert.
  3. Something dark funny about that username not realizing the reach of HHS
  4. Ya I bet you like androids with their green alien mascot.
  5. Not that the unwashed masses would give a second of thought or research… but how the hell did/do presidential candidates get away with not having their cabinet listed out during the campaign? Was that ever a thing?
  6. So every damn person in the civilized world has an incredible camera in their pocket at all times these days… and best we got is some reflection of a lamp on a window and some dollar store balloons.
  7. Found myself driving around the shit show that’s university village. They totally ripped out the section next to eatzis… Apple decided to move across the center. Crazy shit
  8. Not to rehash Election Day lead up and day of thread, but remove Florida from any state wide dem prospects. It’s dead red.
  9. Also, the panic in DC extends to big investment groups who own big time real estate there. If Trump does indeed “decentralize” federal offices, the real estate… office, apartment, retail, hotel, even residential, will crater.
  10. Worth a read from trump team part 1, but really comes into focus with musk https://www.williamsparker.com/insights/want-diversify-appreciated-asset-position-without-paying-capital-gains-tax-take-federal-government-job-conflict-interest/
  11. Considering the stereotype Cletus of Appalachia pours gallons of Mountain Dew down his kids gullets and doesn’t believe in modern medicine, somebody needs to be the none Q adult.
  12. Let’s not be greedy these days.
  13. It’s literally in the fucking STATE constitution. A general diffusion of knowledge being essential to the preservation of the liberties and rights of the people, it shall be the duty of the Legislature of the State to establish and make suitable provision for the support and maintenance of an efficient system of public free schools.
  14. I need 8k points for companion by yr end. If I buy a flight on my card for February travel then cancel in Jan/take that money as southwest credit toward future flight, will that work?
  15. Patrick/Bettencourt ain’t letting the prop tax system die. Patrick specifically called for a study of what the impact would be this yr and when the findings were presented to cmte, that notion was pretty much laughed out of the room. It was something to the effect of a 23% sales tax. what well prob see in the next session is a continuing of the most recent cuts/caps/compeession with maybe a little more tacked on (compression of isd rates and bump on homestead exemption). The 27 session could see more change tho as the 20% annual cap on non homestead real property will have its pilot program completed and stats/data. I have a very hard time seeing caps rolled out to large commercial property though as that just shifts the burden back on homeowners.
  16. why is steel different from the material costs in the first paragraph?
  17. Can somebody explain or point me in the direction of this breakdown. It’s 50% of all NEW city rev… so does that mean they look at the 2024 revenue and anything above that in the future is chopped in half with pensions getting one half? If so Dallas is so boned with the lege’s annual rev caps already in place.
  18. But he makes up for it with just a sip
  19. Hence why I posted in this thread
  20. Not to go brisket but there’s a 0% chance his replacement is an improvement.
  21. Word around Abbott campfire that Tx is gonna need to find a new AG in the next few mos.
  22. Rosen up in flames in Nevada. Kari Fuvkin lake… is very much alive in AZ. Unfuckingreal
