Why do their care about an industrial project in Louisiana?
It's Mitsubishi's responsibility to determine if the project is viable before they invest in it. ...

Not really my business, and I can't really explain the financial position of the people you are observing but I can provide a high level view of what our situation was.

I can see drivers bring more passive and sort of “managing” the truck. But they will have to be there to intervene.

It’s not a big rig, but I’ve had to use a 26’ Penske every time I’ve moved across the country. The time I pulled our Subaru on a trailer behind it…the truck’s Navistar-built engine just couldn’t move it very well.
Not exaggerating when I said that I could maybe do 0-60 in about 30 seconds. M...

re: This teamster speech is historic

Teamsters leader speaking to RNC; and Trump is sitting there listening. CNN was being very critical of Biden. Van Jones insisted that the Democrats should not take the working man or black man's vote for granted.
Pigs were flying outside.
The only way to top that kind of shock tonight ...

The easiest way to reduce flash flooding is to reduce the rate of runoff. They need less impermeable surfaces, which means either the footprint of the houses and driveways need to get a lot smaller or the lots need to get a lot bigger.
Except for a few in-fill, age restricted plots in Denham ...

re: What income it takes to be considered "middle class" in Louisiana
Posted by dewster on 7/15/24 at 12:30 pm
I did read in a few places that Louisiana's GDP is far higher than its poverty levels would indicate.
Even without advanced degrees, a motivated person with average intellectual horsepower could meet or exceed those numbers. That is the good news.
The bad news is that those numbers are s...

[quote]Pulling Morning Joe off the air is an admission that it’s a toxic cesspool.

It's been a toxic cesspool for years. They just now realized it.
Sort of how they just now realized that Biden hasn't had the mental awareness to lead anything for 4 years.
It's not easy for p...

re: This VP pick is yuger than ever.
Posted by dewster on 7/14/24 at 11:32 am
Election is over. Trump will win.
He should just pick Flynn and stay relatively absent from major social media and continue letting Biden look ridiculous.
Destantis is a possibility. I think the pick is already very much in stone and likely won’t change b/c of yesterday’s events. ...

Maybe he hid the rifle somewhere on that roof ahead of time?

He had maybe a second or two between breaching his concealment to fire a shot. He was a 20 years old progressive dipshit and people were yelling at him for at least 20-30 seconds before he started shooting.
That was probably a good shot for him.
This country came within 2cm away from maj...
