I see no from time to time around town. Pretty sure he just officially retired from basketball. He had been playing in Mexico and Italy for a while.

State lawmakers don’t make $115,000. That figure must be referring to other elected positions ie Secretary of State.
Lawmakers make around $50k when their per diems are included.

Caamp will be opening for Zach Bryan. Should be a great show
The cash price of care isn’t vastly cheaper than insurance unless they are weighing the likelihood of nonpayment and making sure they get something instead of nothing.
Where is provider reimbursement going down? The majority of physicians in Louisiana are employed anyhow.

re: Healthcare- the next great debate

The providers in the USA will, largely, not be employed by the government. That is what would be impossible. Only after the entire system burned down could the government buy out all of medicine in the USA.
Comparing NHS salaries to the USA is pointless unless you are attempting to tell me why healthcare costs considerably less everywhere else in the world.

I’ll rephrase, single payor healthcare that can control per capita healthcare expenses. I’m not sure limiting supply is possible or makes sense because we already have the supply.

Healthcare in the USA has two options to affordability:
1. Single payor healthcare that can control prices
2. Detaching insurance from employment and removing all subsidies for non-government healthcare.
Everyone needs more skin in the game and insurance premiums and prices for healthcare are only as high as they are because the average consumer is not cognizant of the price.

Last year was a great time. Parking is easy. The venue is nice. Not overly crowded.
Only downsides is it can be a little hot outside depending on the weather and it can get pretty dusty in the horse pavilion.

Kenilworth Middle closed about a decade ago and then a charter school took over the campus. The charter then built its own campus and gave it back to EBR. BRCVPA moved in while they tore down its campus and rebuilt. Those kids are going to be in their new campus in the fall. McKinley is doing the same thing. Moving to Kenilworth while work is done on their campus.

Are you sure the house isn’t worth selling? Someone could come and move it off the property. Or give it away for free if they will move it.
re: EBR public schools closing and consolidating is a bad omen for BR
Posted by Wasp on 4/30/25 at 4:27 pm to PelicanState87
You’re still wrong.
I’d be shocked if many, really if more than a handful, of jobs will be lost. People will move back into the class room. TOTAL SPENDING will not decrease.

Honestly, this is a pretty bad take. Across EBR schools, enrollment is about 50% of capacity. There are ~ EBR schools. The majority of those are elementary schools ~65.
Capital Middle enrollment is ~200 with capacity of 1000.
Resources are spread too thin with too much being spent on administrators.
If EBR wants to improve its scores it needs to consolidate schools and focus resources. We currently spend ~$16k per student!

For Camellias, I would make the trip to Mizells in the Folsom area. They are a Camellia nursery with ~100 varieties in all sizes. Really amazing place.
