re: Trump: “I’m creating jobs in Iran too.”
Posted by hghlndk on 3/3/26 at 4:56 am to Laugh More
Someone commented on a weak jobs report, I was merely pointing out an unmentioned factor.
It would appear that Millions of jobs will be lost to AI in the next 10’years
Which means that no matter who is in charge or what we do, future job reports will be dismal.

How many jobs have been lost to AI?
1987 Eagle Scout here. I created some of my best memories camping out with my buddies and enjoying the outdoors. Learned leadership skills. Assistant patrol leader, patrol leader. Quartermaster,
Asst senior patrol leader,
Senior patrol leader was my order of ascension. My troop had 50 active members broken up into 6 patrols. I went to Philmont twice. 1 world jamboree and 1 national jamboree.
It made me sad when I read that they were forcing boys and girls in there together. I knew it would bring about the downfall of scouting.
There were 2 separate entities for a reason

Hopefully hes at least been chemically castrated. Molested 16 children (that they know of), that leaves dozens of pissed off Dads and Uncles.
One of them is glad he got released. Chance to Give him what he deserves

I remember a bunch of hysterical hypocrites screaming at him no matter what he did!?
Telling him all his policies were wrong, only to embrace the same policies later as he realized he had been lied to and tried to change course…
Sadly, The same discourse continues.
No matter what President Trump says or does the media howls in agony.
Disgustingly predictable
You have to be covering your eyes and ears not to realize it

re: Obamacare failure
Posted by hghlndk on 2/23/26 at 6:22 am to CamdenTiger
I signed up for Obamacare in 2013 or 14. I bought the most expensive plan blue cross blue shield platinum plan because I needed some surgery and I wanted the lowest deductible and best care. I had also heard that most doctors didn’t accept the standard lower form of Obamacare because it didn’t pay enough.
I made too much money to get any subsidies and I was single
The first year I paid $400 a month second year 600 a month 3rd 900 4th 1150 a month for a single man in his 40’s. It seems like it went up to 1300 and then back down to 1200 after that. Of course these numbers didn’t all end in 00, it’s been awhile so getting close.
Eventually I bought insurance through a broker. Started a group plan at my small business, only had one employee agree to join and he quit after 2 years. By now my son was living with me. I still have blue cross: Pay $1200 a month for my son and I. The deductible is higher than it was with Obamacare. Equal plans other than that
Single payer is expensive.

re: LSU offers 8th grader
Posted by hghlndk on 2/23/26 at 5:50 am to LeviGarrett
My son is 14 and in 9th grade. Will turn 15 in April. Luckily he has grown rapidly over the last year 6’ 195. I was 5’6” 135 when I was his age.
The biggest difference is that we would probably run 15.5 100’s with some wind at our backs

He couldn’t say Hard Work…. That would alienate his voters
You are fairly spot on, of course there are outliers. Like in anything
Ive regularly employed a Hispanic contractor since 2009. He came here as a teenager and managed to gain American citizenship. Has a state contractors license, social security number and insurance, extremely intelligent and hard working.
He has told me several times that once his employs have been here 8-10 years they become Americanized. Show up late, want to leave early, complain all the time etc.
He said he prefers men that just came across the border. All they want to do is work.
I’ve employed several Hispanic crews and witnessed most of the ups and downs myself. Many people believe that Hispanics work cheap.
They are not cheap! they charge the same or more than the average American crew. (If you can even find one)
They are worth it because they show up on time, stay late, don’t complain and do a better job.
You get a bunch of white guys out there and all they do is complain, argue with each other, and whine about how hard the job is,
They leave cigarette butts all over the yard, cuss at each other LOUDLY, are either high on drugs or smell like booze, need to borrow money every day cause “baby needs diapers.” Or they are turning my electricity off today.
The Hispanic crews show up on time, stay until the job is done, ask where the next job is and like to be paid on Friday.
You don’t have to babysit them.

re: Baltimore HS Senior with 0.13 GPA, in top half of his class, sent back to 9th grade

You can definitely miss too many days and fail automatically. It was called F-6 when I was in high school. I was extremely rebellious. Skipped school, ran away etc. I think it was 10 days a semester
. I showed up one day and was called to the principals office and told to leave and come back next semester because I’d missed too many days and unless I could come up with a doctors excuse, I was going to fail every class even though I was passing every class.

My far left Poli Sci professor at LSU-S loved to quote John Jay. I always respected how hard he tried to be fair and have open discussions about politics. He didn’t judge or get angry. So in turn, I actually listened and moved more towards the center.

Call TAF. They will tell you. I called them when I was going to an away football game.
They did bring them back, but they changed the band. The cloth strap locks in tight.They can only be removed with scissors,knife etc.
Reminds me of when Cecilia beat Evangel 31-28 in the 95 quarter finals.
My youngest brother played for Evangel back then. The game was a back and forth war all night. It really came down to one player. Y’all had a big fast middle linebacker that Wrecked Shop!!! He was a man amongst boys as they say. I bet he had 20 tackles that night.

I guess I just have a bony arse, the metal bleachers kill me. Not that I sit much.
I also have rods and screws in my lower back. I enjoy leaning back against a backrest rather than just sitting straight up

I would imagine that being a recent grad your financial situation is a little tight. So it may take awhile.
I bought season tickets, Joe Burrow‘s first season. Started out in the north end zone, they were surprisingly inexpensive.
I stayed there a few years and then moved over to the east side and now I’m in section 106 by the students. Every year I apply to upgrade.
I started out by making thousand dollar donations here and there to get priority points and eventually joined the Oaks foundation at the lowest level which is 5000 a year for five years. That moves you up pretty quickly. When I first signed up, I think I was like number 11,623 on the priority rankings. That’s just spit balling of course. I could actually go on the app and look now but I think I’m up around 1750 now.
Season ticket holders and being an Oaks supporter comes with Perks. You can buy tickets at face value to all the away games and get good seats.
You will be assigned a TAF contact who can get you free tickets to all other sporting events (within reason) and you have access to private tailgates and free tickets to just about any other thing you wanna go to. For example, they gave me 4 free tickets to the Zach Bryan concert coming up in Tiger Stadium.
Good luck
If you really are on a tight budget then just buy online for now
Wait and buy 30 minutes before kickoff and prices will drop fast…
Once you get season tickets BUY THE SEATBACKS. So much more comfortable and your space is defined.
They are only $75 per seat per season

I don’t normally weigh in on things like this, but I was talking to a friend yesterday and this topic came up. So many headlines are fraudulent. The headline makes you click, you read the article and realize that it doesn’t say what the headline implied. Or near the end of the article, there is a line that completely contradicts what the headline stated.
In my opinion the average citizen believes very little of what the media presents. And rightly so…

Posted by hghlndk on 1/13/26 at 4:42 pm to Jack Crevalle
Sitting amongst the players parents, around the corner from the band. I took my 8 year old son. Bought 2 seats on the end of rows 1 row apart. He ended up standing in front of me or in the aisle for the whole game.
I almost paid $2500 a seat to be on the 40 together. I think I paid around $500 a ticket. Amazing game. I have tons of pics but I haven’t logged into this site in years. Dont remember how to share.
It was glorious
