did you watch the video?? looks like the entire mountainside collapsed. not sure engineering would have helped..maybe a geologist could have told them the entire mountainside was near collapse which may have worked.

wonder if the "engineering" for the road through the mountain to the bridge caused the mountain to collapse

re: Trump says 2k checks will be sent out to everyone, excluding high income earners

Posted by tigeraddict on 11/10/25 at 11:25 am to UltimaParadox

Stimulus checks is what got us with Covid inflation

No more stimulus. If you want to lower income taxes by the tariff income then that is another story.

re: Trump promoting a 50 year mortgage. Dave Ramsey will lose his mind. Terrible idea - imo

You can get into a house at a younger age. And as the valve of the house increases you will gain that equity. You won’t through paying in principle.

But compare to a renter gaining no value what so ever they will at least gain something as they pay for housing.

They are a non profit. They can’t show a profit so they need to spend the money.

It’s a $5b emergency fund. If he loses the appeal and is forced to release the funds, then he needs to equally allocate to each state ($100m)

Won’t go that far but bigger states (Cali, NY, IL) would be effected more.

re: Can your family of 4 keep your grocery bill to 4200/yr?

Posted by tigeraddict on 10/31/25 at 9:48 am to LSUFanHouston

Family of 3 here, and i think we average over $200+/wk

however, the said family of 4 on SNAP gets 2 free meals a day M-F at school

also, SNAP is a supplement, not 100% food fund. The is also, housing subsidies, medicare, WIC, welfare, ect that also gives money to families

re: Ted Cruz calls on the House to impeach Judge Boasberg; Articles being drafted

Posted by tigeraddict on 10/30/25 at 9:48 am to Major Dutch Schaefer

If nothing else, the Judge will have no cases brought before him while the impeachment process plays out.

if the senate cant get the votes to "convict" then the house and senates' next reconciliation bill needs to includes funding for his position at $1/yr salary....
