and not just no, but hell no. It's not a private school if taxpayer money goes to fund its student's admission.

The people who pay the money get the product. School vouchers are socialism. Period.


100%. This is one of the major reasons we're taking my daughter out of her private school. Why the hell would I pay ~25k for my 2 kids (son starting kindergarten) when a bunch of people just get to come for free!?
What I can't understand is vacation property values.

Granted, they are definitely starting to drop. However, basically everything along the gulf coast doubled during covid. I can't figure out if they were bought in cash with all the money flying around, or if they're all heavily leveraged to take advantage of the Vrbo covid boom.

Regardless, it seems like there would be an awfully small pool of buyers who could afford at this point.

I have had patients ask me for a PERMANENT tag for everything from an ingrown toenail, to plantar fasciitis, to bunions.

Unless you have no way to pay it off now that sounds like a horrible financial decision
I had a black fireball that would sleep for days

If I remember correctly, my school - OLL in Mandeville - actually sold yoyos or at least parts in the office for awhile
Not one product, but food in general. I refuse to buy low quality food/ingredients

Read something this morning about record numbers of 401k holders bailing out of stocks in the last few days.

Not smart.


I went 100% stocks. Paid off well.

I don't normally day trade my retirement accounts, but the drop last week was just too enticing.

I moved my 20% bond allocation 100% to my s&p index fund in my 403 and 457 over the weekend.

It is a good day :lol:
