re: Post your most recent miles per gallon (mpg) on your primary vehicle
Posted by Tarps99 on 4/20/26 at 6:48 am to Everyday Is Saturday
37.2 MPG on a 2024 Ford Escape
Rented at Kia K4 over the weekend, got 44 MPG driving around Vegas. Burned about a half a tank of gas for 300 miles, and it cost 29 dollars to fill up at 4.34 a gallon. I would not own it, I think some recent models of Kia’s have become oil burners or the tranny goes out way too soon.
Knock on wood, my Escape has been trouble free at two years old and nearing 42k miles.

Nothing like running for President and you wouldn't even win your home state.
You have to admit that he would take the Primary unlike Bobby Jindal who dropped out before the votes were cast in Iowa.
Maybe Landrieu is looking at it as a litmus test for 2030 and the Senate race against Kennedy or he retires. Then you have age. He is not getting any younger. So it is probably now or never to run for president.
If there is a surplus, it likely be less than anticipated. Not enough on shore activity to matter, and you have always the threat of litigation which could be lessened with Friday’s Supreme Court announcement.

Valid question, guess if someone like Jeb Bush or Mitt Romney was suddenly pushing psychedelics, I'd be a little surprised, like I am with Rick Perry.
Just follow the money and or if they helped with his life. Some people learn to live with the pain instead of dealing with addiction to pharmaceuticals or reach out to other means.

Never know. Things may change all depends on the Republican nominee and if the Republicans frick it up with some rubber stamp candidate that doesn’t have enough coat tails.
President Mitch Landrieu? in 2028 Elections
Posted by Tarps99 on 4/20/26 at 12:15 am
quote:
Mitch Landrieu, the former mayor of New Orleans and a central figure in recent federal infrastructure efforts, has quietly begun exploring a potential run for the presidency in 2028. During a recent gathering of Democratic activists and the Young Democrats of America in his hometown, Landrieu delivered an unscripted and impassioned speech that many observers categorized as the opening notes of a future campaign.
Drawing on his extensive experience leading New Orleans through its recovery after Hurricane Katrina, Landrieu spoke to the crowd about the necessity of dreaming about what America "should be." He emphasized that the country cannot simply return to the status quo but must instead look forward to a new day. His message centered on the idea of constructing a future that corrects the mistakes of the past, a theme he applied to both his local governance and the national political landscape.

4th of July
Anyone know of any local America 250 celebrations.
I know there is the usual 4th of July celebration on the river in NOLA, not sure if they are going to make more special for America 250. I think St. Charles Parish is hosting their own.

In some places, it will be hard to get under 4 dollars because of local taxes and problems with refineries out west.
In Vegas, gas was anywhere from 4.34 a gallon at Sam’s to 5.29 at places near the airport.

There is a scene in an old made for TV movie called Eunice based on the Mama series in the Carol Burnett variety show, it is after mama dies and Eunice finds out from Ellen (Played by Betty White) that Mama killed her rabbit to cook. It is part comedy and tragic at the same time.

Night 1 was mediocre at best.
Good so I didn’t miss anything.
I went visiting Vegas’s top spots like Hoover Dam. I took the whole Dam tour and went into ventilation shaft in the middle of the dam yesterday.
Anyone crazy to climb these stairs?

I went to one north side casino billed as one of the best by YouTube Creators, and it felt as sad and depressing as the Silver Slippa.

re: Data center tax abatements losing states billions

This x1000. Governments not collecting money because of tax breaks is like losing money to them. No, they aren’t really losing money. Just the potential. It’s BS.
You could think of it another way, if the data center is never built would they have even realized an increase in tax revenue anyway.
Yes there is loss on future or potential taxes but is temporary and some companies will reinvest and add to their facilities to extend them.
Some of these tax rebates are in lieu of investments. Think of the other billions in revenue these projects are delivering in increased sales tax and income tax from new workers working on the project. All that revenue would not materialize if the project was never built.
