Astros beat the Dodgers 2-1. Both runs were solo HRs. Should have been a shutout, but I’ll take it.

I was reading a story in the business pages yesterday about drones beginning to be used in rural hospital/doctor settings for testing, meds, and other things where timely results and needs were a big issue. Not sure how I feel about drones flying everywhere all the time with little regs and oversight right now. But, I could see them being a very big benefit in the rural medical settings. I’d think they could be a big lifesaver for things like transplant organs as well where time is critical.

I don’t know… but at least Congress subpoenaed him to come talk about it.

La Porte will need to rebuild their lines. They have the skill players. Not sure if I'll attend Orange & White game as it will be missing some key players that are still in baseball playoffs, and the Area PO's are this week--same time as the Spring game. I’m cautiously optimistic they’ll have the lines rebuilt. I’d love to see the QB more involved in the O. He’s too skilled to just hand off with an occasional throw.

Again with the "y'all". smh Show some worth for once and say "we".

So Clinton’s visits to the Island were just business?

Lufkin will have a truckload of sophomores and juniors playing this year. The Panthers get back the bulk of their defense from 2025, however just two or three starters return on offense, two on the OL and at TE. I honestly can't evaluate much from the three partial Spring practices I've looked in on. Lot of young guys and raw talent that needs to get a bunch of experience. If Abseck wasn't the coach I might look at this as a retooling year, we'll see. He is all about building and sure has them working hard.

This administration was meant for the 1%. Pee on the elderly and the poor. Rural hospitals have closed and people must travel for medical services add on top of that the price of everyday goods and gas.

BINGO! Say it one more time for the people in the back. Everybody would like to see cuts, but not to the programs from which they benefit. Defense? Off limits according to the flag wavers. SS? Not gonna happen if you want the entitled elderly to vote for you. Debt spending? That can’t be cut. Medicare/Medicaid? Those recipients will lose their minds. The problem isn’t Washington, it’s the yayhoos across the country that keep electing morons to go to Washington. Y’all literally elected a self-professed tax cheat and expected him to somehow right the ship? It’s sheer stupidity.

The public didn’t want anything cut, threw a hissy, and their representatives listened.

Say what you will, companies are fairing pretty well in the 1st Quarter. 84% have beaten their earnings estimates. [Hidden Content]

Whatever happened to DOGE?

Get off the gas man everyone has acknowledged the job he’s done!

They receive multiple tax breaks & investment guarantees. No different than ‘green energy’ companies. Although, wind, solar, and biofuels receive more direct subsidies. Renewable energy accounts for about 67% of federal energy spending. [Hidden Content] I wouldn’t say it’s a wash. But, it’s not a hand out. They have to invest to receive the benefits. The government has always (for around 100 years at least) felt that energy security was national security. So, they provided investment ‘breaks’ to help stabilize the oil market and encourage investment. That’s one of the main reasons US energy companies are the technological envy of the world. The government helps them invest in new tech when the firms are willing to take a chance on very expensive projects by providing said tax breaks, technology grants, and other incentives.

Congrats Coach!

So it’s a wash? They don’t receive subsidies? Interesting

To the dismay of WOS little league coaches and fans.

Info on the energy sector so-called subsidies. May provide a different take. What Jon Stewart And Others Get Wrong About Big Oil Subsidies

Thanks I didn't look today so for a day we were outa last place/

Houston is 5 back. Athletics are 18-16. Houston is 14-22. Down 4 in win column, down 6 in loss column. That makes you 5 games back.

Looky there we agree on something! Lol
