Yesterday at Rouse’s and Lowe’s there were certain empty shelves. While I think the panic is overblown, I don’t think it’s isolated to Walmart.

Isn’t that the guy that introduces bills in Baton Rouge that only apply to Orleans Parish to end-run local politics and local voters?

I’ve ridden two years and haven’t heard of this. Along with some kind of sensor system that would alert the driver when people were too close, this could lead to crowd-sourced compliance.

It may be helpful to clarify for the board what your goal is in this decision.

If you’re asking simply about savings related to interest expenses, you can calculate how much interest will accrue on each separate debt in the time frame until it’s paid off.

If you can comfortably pay off the promo balances before the high interest rates kick in, with the money that you previously used to pay the truck note, that seems like it would be ideal.

If you pay off the credit card debts and continue paying your truck note, you may pay marginally more in interest than paying it off. That depends on long has the truck been financed and how long is left on the note.

On the flip side, if you pay off the truck and can’t pay the full promo balances by the time the interest kicks in, the higher interest rates are going to bite you long term. Also, not sure of the details of your promo plans, but I understand some of them tack on all the interest retroactively if you don’t pay them off by the end of the promo period. That’s something to consider, too.

Man just a few days ago when I was trying to explain how a tragedy can ruin a rider’s parade, I caught hell. It’s amazing how the tune changed when it’s Endymion that gets cancelled halfway through.

Endymion’s expenses exceed their revenue and it’s a part-time gig for their officers. IJS it’s not an apples-to-apples comparison.

Julie made Nyx her full time job and dedicates herself to growing the organization and the footprint on the city.

Also it’s not y’all’s money so why do y’all care what we do with ours?

We legit fundraised and donated an all-inclusive playground to the City of New Orleans this year and have more planned. More than I’ve heard from Endymion or Muses it anyone else doing for the city.

mail me some throws?

Sure. Just post your address. If you’re serious, though, I could probably send a purse from next year’s allotment.

The OT has been on the whole supportive. I’m kind of surprised. I haven’t been an active TD participant since college and I had to create a new username to join this thread. It’s been a safe space and quite cathartic. Thanks guys!
