re: Golf in Ruston
Posted by KillTheGophers on 6/5/26 at 9:08 pm to In The Know
I like Mystic better than Squire….if I lived in the Ruston area, Mystic would be my course.
I miss RCC and the Tech golf course.

Very true - 95% of them have never set foot inside an LSU classroom. Very trashy
re: Do you think the financial media is as dishonest as the MSM?

Yes - I am old and know - it takes a long time to recover from downturns…we never talk about that.
I had time on my side when young….no longer have that luxury….ill take some bond income and enjoy a less stressed life.
I think the general business media misses the point as to risk with 401k money flooding into overvalued investments.
It is always the W2 worker that bails out WS….always.

We no longer have life insurance. Again will defer to MB experts, but with your nest egg, you may not need. We do not.
In most cases, it makes sense to carry some life insurance. Just to get your spouse buried / cremated / etc. is painfully expensive right now.
Should you die soon into your retirement, the liquidity provided to the surviving spouse, via life insurance, makes decision making much less stressful.

Auburn is one of the most expensive public schools - a complete waste of money for out of staters.
Many kids need a reality financial check when it comes to college choices.

re: LIV Golf Virginia (Lucas Herbert wins, earns US Open exemption)
Posted by KillTheGophers on 5/11/26 at 1:20 pm to JimTiger72
The PGA Tour should ostracize all players that went to LIV - or make them pay a massive reinstatement fee.
Funny thing - what happened to LIV and the PGA Tour is happening every day in this country.
Private equity comes in and flashes cash, promises much bigger and better things….everything is good for a while then the bottom starts to give way and it collapses…investors want out and nothing but rot is left.
I am an old man - but I have yet to meet a doctor, dentist, cpa, architect, farmer, vet, engineer firm owner, etc that was happy with their private equity deal 48 months later. They sit in my office, sob and complain after every attorney and financial expert warned about potential long term issues.

re: Just Voted. Voted For Fleming. I Think He's Better Than Letlow, But Not 100% Positive.
Posted by KillTheGophers on 5/9/26 at 8:26 am to KCT
Flemming
There is something about Letlow that is just not right - she is too scripted, too controlled, too fake…she reminds me more of someone from Missouri than Louisiana.
And her stock trading situation - no one cares who made the trades on her behalf, she shoulda known better - complete lapse and lack of integrity.
It would be interesting to know her net worth day one in Congress and now. I am guessing she went from broke to multi millionaire and about to have a lifetime pension and medical care greater than anything the rest of us could dream of.
Flemming did not ride taxpayer coattails.
Now, all that said Letlow before Cassidy all day.

I stopped caring about college football some time ago - it is broken beyond repair.
Pros
Posted by KillTheGophers on 4/23/26 at 1:23 pm
These pros are hitting 3 wood further than I hit my 5 hybrid and gap wedge combined….and they are dropping these shots in the heart of the fairway. (I am nearly 60 but still).
Watched 3 pros put their 3 woods 310 yards out….all ending up 8 yards of each other.
The precision of professional golf is an amazing skill set.

re: How You Can Stop LSU Administrators from Terminating Alumni Email

I am losing my alumni email address….different university….same problem:
No, this change is affecting all colleges and universities using Google for higher education accounts. In early 2021, Google announced it was ending the free unlimited storage it had offered higher education accounts (see under “Introducing a new storage policy”). Each institution will now be charged for any storage above a standard allotment.
Based on this new model, Yale has determined that it can support 5GB of data for each YaleMail account moving forward.

re: Wealth taxes- do you think they will be coming in the next 10 years?
Posted by KillTheGophers on 4/4/26 at 3:00 am to HailHailtoMichigan!
If some tax on assets ever becomes constitutional, what is happening in New York will happen nationally. Those impacted will simply pack their bags and move to a tax friendly haven.
A tax on asssets is a dangerous slope….we all know it won’t stop at the richest of the rich. The tax slime always drips downward.
Rich people are usually smart. They will deploy teams of cpas and tax attorneys to find and exploit every loophole….and set up long term holding strategies that bypass whatever new tax may be imposed.
Currently, the USA does not have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem. We will see a default in longer dated treasuries / bonds before we see a wealth tax.
Default meaning that interest due will be restructured with a materially reduced rate and longer amortization.
All that stated…We are a socialized state already….there is no turning back.

That is some third world stuff right there.
Our society is so out of balance - we need a massive economic recession to pull everyone back to reality…..including college athletics.
But I understand the reasoning - most of these kids are going to run into tax issues with state and irs due to poor tax planning and reporting.
