  1. Good job. LP has to regroup. They had some uncharacteristic errors that hurt.
  2. LP outhit Lake Creek 10-4. LOB hurt them.
  3. Ryker Reynolds (TE) committed to Pitt. He’ll be the second player from LP to go to Pitt after Curvin Richards. Curvin finished second behind Tony Dorsett in rushing yards at Pitt. Hopefully, Ryker will have similar success.
  4. Lake Creek 4 La Porte 0 Game 1 Final
  5. Looks like more tariffs (10% global tariffs) were struck down today. I assume an appeal is on the way.
  6. Game 1: Hendrickson 3 La Porte 0 Final
  7. They're only there to surrender for the IRGC since they have more practice.
  8. The numbers I've researched show that 40% of them are owned by hospital conglomerates, and are being used as low overhead practices to help the hospital system's profit margin. 35% are owned by major insurance companies like United Healthcare, etc. where care an be rationed and controlled. The rest are either private or private equity/corporation owned, and are just in it for the profit period. Last I read, they're saying certain markets are becoming saturated with them, and the profit margin is no longer feasible for opening new ones. That should tell us all we need to know about their real purpose, and care isn't it.
  9. We are moving forward. Straight towards full-blown Socialism. Every time people want the Federal Government to do anything besides leave us alone, we get closer and closer.
  10. Gotta' love the Frenchies. They'll move in as soon as it's safe.
  11. That's a good one right there. I don't care who you are...lol
  12. Again, no hospitals have been closed. This is conjecture and speculation at this time. How the States implement work requirements will have the biggest bearing on who remains on Medicaid. States control who is on Medicaid. My healthcare costs are directly affected because I'm forced to pay for Obamacare if I want medical insurance. Obama has EVERYTHING to do with it. I do agree that no Administration has fixed it yet. Obamacare was enacted in March 2010. I am a male. But, I'm forced to pay for birth control--as is my wife, who is well past child-bearing age--because the ACA plans must include it. My recommendation: Research. Become an educated voter. Or, become like me. Research, decide both sides are going to screw you over anyway, just don't vote, and figure out how best to deal with the crap. Do this while smiling, and maintaining a positive attitude of course. Personally, I'm positive we'll get screwed either way. That's my attitude.
  13. Looking into the history of the cost increases in residential a/c units takes one back to 2016 and the Obama Administration. In 2016, Obama signed on to a Global Greenhouse Gas Treaty that required the phase-out of 410-A refrigerants. This change meant total redesign of all HVAC units to accept the new refrigerant which is considered mildly flammable. It required all new safety regulations, testing, and training as well. The regulation was hanging around while firms redesigned and retrained. Biden implemented the policy ahead of schedule to take effect in January 2025. It would be too late to void the new regulations now as every manufacturer has already changed their designs, training, and cities have updated their required safety codes, etc. We're stuck with it. No more units with the older refrigerants can be sold. Although, current units can be serviced as long as parts remain available. Obviously, prices will increase as part stock diminishes, and--eventually--repair parts will probably cease being manufactured. This is a perfect example of Federal Regulations costing the public major dollars that may never be recouped by the individual. The two Bills discussed in the above post are an attempt to keep the Feds from regulating any more of our home appliances by fiat.
  14. I'd have to check the status of these Bills. Chances are--with all the other fighting--they're still sitting around somewhere. (EDIT: Congressional Record shows both Bills discussed have passed the House. It doesn't say where they're at in the Senate.) [Hidden Content]
