This was a post by Shipwreckedcrew from X that made some great points. There are a few things that stood out that I bolded, the truck rang a bell..... Republican or Democrat, we can't hold the Government responsible for our own bad decisions. A person buying an 80K truck at 6% interest will pay 98K over the 84 months with a $1168 monthly note, then likely trade it in or get another truck once paid off. Ironic that this same person would probably complain about gas prices, when he could of purchased a 45K truck and put the other 45K in a savings account. Thoughts? The problem is there is nothing "wrong" with the "economy." Economic growth is rising and unemployment is falling. Prices remaining high because of PAST INFLATION isn't an "economy" thing. Home prices being high because of a shortage of affordable inventory for first or second time homebuyers isn't an "economy" thing. Buyers taking out car loans for 84 months at 15% interest rates, and being upside down in their equity for 36-48 months isn't an "economy" thing. Having a large portion of the college educated workforce emerge from academia with worthless degrees that employers place no value in for hiring purposes isn't an "economy" thing. Trump and the GOP are going to pay the price for an "economy" when the problems are not a feature of the "economy." They are a product of choices made by voters in their own lives. Gas prices have been expensive before. Interest rates have been high before. But I've never seen so many $60,000 pickup trucks and $85,000 SUVs being driven down the road ever in my life.

I agree that plenty of those complainers are exactly what u call out but not all. most people make some dumb financial decisions all so they can be on the up and up with everyone for myself and family we don’t have any such vehicles (4). 2 that are 2001 models, one 2011 and one 2020. All have been paid off for some time now. Mortgage is lower than most peoples car payment and it’s at a 2.95 interest….beat that 😁 1 job with two side jobs father to 5 kids youngest child is 8 grandfather to 2 I garden I hunt and I raise meat My wife for most our marriage didn’t not collect a paycheck because she stayed home with kids. And we were able to make it work financially. She is now having to work. Petroleum prices, grocery prices, taxes, insurance, electricity prices, etc we ve done away with health insurance(legal fraud) and just pay cash….as long as nothing major happens we are better off. Yes we re making it but wife had to go to work…. And therefore there s the most damage in my opinion….im old school because im a product of it and it worked perfectly……. i trust only my wife to bring up our kids…..especially in this day of age many of the issues we deal with world wide wouldn’t exist if the family structure was still in place……. High prices and continually raising prices causes more issues….capitalism is good until greed comes in. though I do believe that peoples poor choices have contributed like you said but also there are many others it doesn’t.

Longtime rivalry taking place this Friday night. Massey projections has this one 35-28 Deweyville I'll be on the sidelines for this one. Thoughts

You keep telling yourself that. Lol

I’ll be there, may be the Horns best chance to win this year.

Paxton’ll say it’s a deepfake. Has he ever done anything other than deny?

HIS policies? Those are National Republican Party agenda policies. He hasn’t had an original idea I’ve ever heard.

If you were in Texas, which one would you vote for?

taking advantage of the bye week to go do some quick work at the deer lease and then a 24-hour turnaround to be back to watch my youngest show her rabbit at the rice festival.

BC @ Vidor! Big game for both teams!

sure is! I don't know the lake that well, but I know of a Shawnee Shores. We hammered the bass there this summer.

Supreme Court Allows Rapid Third-Country Deportations to Continue! [Hidden Content] Trump!

When you clear the noise, and all the fake outrage......I like his policies. There may be one or two I don't agree with, but all the major ones I agree with. End catch and release Secure Border Get rid of illegals with deport orders Reciprocal Tariff's and America First trade agenda No tax on tips - no tax on SS Expand oil and gas Get ahead of AI or SI (lol) - if we don't China will, and that is not a good thing Tough on drug smuggler policy.... VOTER ID Protect woman's sports Why would anyone disagree with the above? So, I think majority of Republicans respect the fact that he does not apologize on doing things he ran on.

Rather have Prime Rib.

Not so sure about that…. I’m skeptical on that poll….

Boy the tides have turned. Bc goes from not making the playoffs at all to this week beating last weeks district favorites 🤦‍♂️ we really are special

Nederland vs Lee Homecoming Game pregame meal Sombrero's Saturday Tailgate for Lamar game, doing a big chicken and sausage Jambalaya and buddies wife is bringing her crawfish queso dip and lots of cold beer. Should be a fun time I believe we have roughly 30 people commited to the tailgate and game

You still have not said which policies are not like other Republicans….. we know Democrats don’t like him::.. but since you want to talk about polls…… Trump Crushes Reagan, Lincoln as Republicans’ Most Admired President: Poll [Hidden Content]

They don't play this week. Shepherd is play Katy Harmony. HJ is off.

If the final score isn't somewhere around say um 55-7 or better I'll have some questions for you @BMTSoulja1 especially seeing that this is yet another homecoming game for Ball High in the Golden Triangle. ☕

I’ll be keeping an eye on that one too, curious to see if Shepherd is up to the hype. District play hasn’t been good to them.

6 runs is difficult to overcome and 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position isn't helpful. Long ball from an unlikely source gave hope, but it wasn't to be today.

No HS games this week. Possibly HCU hosting Nicholls on Saturday or LU game, or taking daugher to the Rice Festival. Early and undecided.

Truth be told I'll be more focused on the Shepherd/HJ game as I'll watch that at work and will try to provide updates.

Could be the case except Coldspring doesn't have a kicking game whatsoever so I'll spot them 2 2pt conversions based on your score to give them 35-16.

I'm looking forward to it as well.

Tarkington 35 Coldspring 14

I get all the NFL games thru the local channels and ESPN that's on YouTube TV. I get ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox. I have Prime as well.

Be curious to see the projection by DCTF when it comes out tomorrow.

Did some work for a doctor who owned a small peninsula directly across the lake from Many Louisiana. I believe you could see Pendleton bridge when you got out into the main part of the lake. Seems like it was called Shamrock Shores. It’s been years so I could be wrong. Went through Hemphill to get there. Ain’t it funny how most of the time when you’re bank fishing, you cast out as far as you can, and when you’re in a boat, you cast towards the bank?

what has lane done wrong? 3 td against westbrook 2 passing, 1 rushing.

Massey projections has this one 46-7 Nederland

It would not be a debate, it would be your opinion..... It is obvious to me you didn't think out your comment or you realize there are none or very little differences.

Tarkington at Coldspring

Yet another example of diehard Trumpers doing what Trump tells them and selecting awful candidates to run in these races. It's crazy that the right nominated someone so bad that a leftwing nutter has a very realistic chance of beating him, in Texas of all places.

Nothing says American strength quite like our U.S. troops on their knees preparing the red carpet for communist leader Xi. The leader that released Covid on the US and the world killing millions of people and destroying millions of businesses. And now he gets the red carpet treatment by Trump. Where’s the accountability for the biggest crime against humanity?!

Total team loss. Just played bad in all aspects. Got to be better tomorrow
