Personally, I was a young professional just starting out in my career. I was so poor I didn’t really notice. I was looking to buy a home and kept waiting for prices to go lower with the housing crash of 08, but that never really happened here.
BR and NOLA, are usually somewhat insulated from national recessionary trends. Govt., Higher Ed., and refineries/plants are usually pretty steady and don’t see the swings like banking or tech., etc. We don’t always have the mass layoffs or huge downturns when times are bad. But we also don’t see major upswings when times are good.

Inflation predictions and ibonds
Posted by Suntiger on 5/19/26 at 8:33 am
In ‘22 this board was all in on ibonds as inflation rose and the return was around 8-9%. That was with a 0.0% fixed rate.
Reading that inflation is predicted to rise to between 4 and 5% over the rest of the year.
CNBC says 6%
Peterson Institute says above 4%
Federal Planning Bureau says 4.56% in Q4.
Polymarket bets between 4.5-5.0%
Current fixed rate is 0.9%. That’s down from 1.3% and 1.2% in 2024-25.
So with the fixed rate decreasing and inflation outlook on the rise, is it time to get back into ibonds? Or do we think the fed will raise rates and t-bills and CDs are a safe money haven?

About 15 years. Let's call it $175K is owed. Pretty close to that. While it's possible, I do not see a refinance in my future due to interest rates.
See if your mortgage company will allow you to recast your mortgage. Should lower your monthly payment while keeping your current rate.

Let’s be honest…this is probably one of the better threads on the front page at this point.
6/10 - would recommend.

It’s there a theory called QB Face or something that the best looking kids are put at QB in peewee football and middle anchool and that’s why most QBs are better looking than your average player at other positions?
re: What’s next for St George?
Posted by Suntiger on 5/17/26 at 9:23 am to Adam Banks
In light of the Callais decision, is it time to try to challenge the EBRPSS consent decree? You’d lose on the district level, but win on the appellate level. St. George wouldn’t get its own school system, but they’d stop bussing which would cure part of the issues they have with the current school system. If they win that, having their own school system isn’t as far of a jump as it is now.
Agreed.
It’s ironic that a decade ago the Tea Party railed against government and the swamp and how it can’t be trusted and needs to be downsized or drained.
Fast forward a decade and those republicans take over and are surprised that people don’t trust the government…because those same republicans can’t understand that they are the government now.
Not sure where they go from here.

That’s not unpopular. It’s gotten to be absurd. I can also do without the release videos. Sometimes they are funny like the GOTs one or the 80s/90s themed ones. But mostly they are terrible and unnecessary.
With the jobs numbers holding steady, is it time to raise rates yet?

Looks like it’s not confirmed by the NFL, but a lot of outlets are reporting it including Yahoo Sports and SI.

Wilson was picked by CKM, so I think it’s safe to say he’s the favorite for the backup job.
I’m not Rattler fan boy, but I can’t imagine he would stay on the practice squad very long. Some team would want to pick him up. Best case scenario is we try to trade him for a late round pick. Hopefully he shows out in pre-season.

Decent discussion about position battles looking at draft picks and FA pickups. We have a ton of DL that will be in competition. Below is who the host thinks is “on the hot seat”.

Two year t-bill rates are around 4% and fully liquid any day you need the cash.
I use short-term t-bills to park cash all the time in my Schwab account.
And the interest I earn on them is fully exempt from Louisiana state income taxes.
I have enough money in my HYSA to cover a few months of bills. The rest of my emergency fund cash is laddered in short term t-bills. Easy enough to access. Better rates than CDs. No state taxes.

brown is a different kind of cat…the complete opposite of a moron like Zion. He’s smart, disciplined, engaged in serious activities outside basketball and a well rounded individual. He is exactly the kind of person this teams needs as a leader, and exactly the kind of player who can decide his own fate.
I want us to redistrict based on height. Tall people with 3 representatives and shorties with 2. It’s the only way to be fair.
