Galatoire’s by a mile for the atmosphere alone.
Not to mention all of those chevron and Texaco and Exxon stations are almost all franchises.
Why do people always complain about gas prices? The profits from O&G are tiny compared to Meta, apple , etc. No one complains about a thousand dollar phone

His recovery is truly amazing. Guy could not walk and in less than a year was running.
How arrogant to think you know better than Jefferson and Adams and Franklin who spent their whole lives thinking and debating these concepts.

We are the united states, as in a bunch of states that are united, not a centralized democracy.
Was fishing just north of Grand Isle last Saturday. Jumped in to cool off at some point. The difference in temp between the top two feet and then going down to about four feet was astonishing. At least 15 degree difference
About 25 years ago I had around 90 yards all over the southshore. Hardest thing for me was crappy workers.

Can be great money but it takes time to build a book. You also have to figure out what to do for $$ November through April.

Well, since I work for CVX and I’m looking at our pay grades as I type. I’m pretty sure I know what the pay is. Also, the 9,000 number for Chevron is also BS.

It is. Significantly higher.

How many people? If more than four or so, I would look into the headboat that leaves out of Wakeside Marina. I’m sure someone will chime in with the name of the boat.

I buy the point that a real, prolonged closing of the strait would cause prices to rise, but $180 seems crazy far-fetched. That's just about double today's prices.


That’s just the paper price. Physical prices have been much higher than paper. Closer to $130-150 in some places. So $180 isn’t that far fetched.

say a US missile cost 1.2 million to build and another .1 million to deliver to target for total of 1.3 million. Now if the targeting is for the 35 foot offshore boat with 3 300 hp Yamaha 's modified to carry 4 depth chargers, total value 350,000, that's is a losing return unless the two boat captain lives is worth something to Iran. Now if instead that 1.3 million dollar missile were used to knock out the generating station that supplies power to the boat shed and surrounding town with Iran's repair cost approaching 10million that would be useful work. another analogy, do not use a sidewinder missile to shoot a Houthi goat cart



You have to add in the amount of damage the small boat could inflict for a true analysis.


So if the boat can take out a tanker with 1 billion in oil on it, the 1.3 million missile used to take out the hazard is justified.
If you have rod holders, put some 3/4” pvc together and make an arch.
