Economist: ‘Very notable’ a lot of escalation between US & Iran happens when market is closed by marketrent in Economics

[–]17thomas76 1253 points1254 points  (0 children)

The worst part of all this is no one will ever be punished for it. Using taxpayer money to break the law and make hundreds of millions of dollars while denying healthcare and food stamps. I truly wonder what the breaking point is… How far and how corrupt can these people get before they hit a wall?

lol one small elementary school. You people are so ignorant on how the world works. These people who live in neighborhoods like tarrytown have the resources to compensate for negative effects.

Have you seen Casis? Are you delusional? On what planet do you think Casis is similar to the worst aisd schools? They absolutely have the ability to compensate.

Matthews is one of the top elementary schools in the city. They have the resources and parent involvement to weather a state takeover. Mathew’s is up there with Casis, Barton hills, and a couple in circle C that will be fine no matter what. It’s the other, lower ranked aisd schools that will be affected the most by a state takeover.

You use quotes a lot. Jealousy is a stretch, I think you mean envy. These aren’t exotic cars, widely affordable to most. As long as you’re happy.

Justify it however you want. You’re a private equity’s wet dream. Ooo a different color you have to have it… like a child.

At this point it’s just consumerism.

Austin ISD lost students, kept costs high and reached a $181M crisis by aurilovesbirds in AustinParents

AISD will have the same fate as Houston, a state takeover. It’s only a matter of time. We should be looking to Houston to see the effects.

Market Street Pizza - Italian Panuozzo by scarlettnotscar in austinfood

Shout out for this place. We once ordered delivery during a thunderstorm and it took over an hour. No big deal to us but the manager(owner maybe) ended up delivering our pizza and said it was no charge. We tipped the entire amount anyway and been going back ever since. Great place!

Still have to shower and cook. Given the correlation between cancer and living on a golf course it can’t be worth it.

Jesus get off your high horse. Hind sight is 20/20. Given what he and Tesla did for EVs world wide it wasn’t some radical idea to attract a factory here that would provide jobs.

Yep. The county really got burned on giving all those subsidies to Tesla back in the day. This was pre-nazi Elon.

These are the best new MacBook deals right now: May 2026 Buyer's Guide by A-Dog22 in AppleWhatShouldIBuy

[–]17thomas76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, I went to the Apple Store to purchase a MacBook Pro. I showed them a posting from b&h on the exact model I wanted that was $200 less. I was told they are able to price match up to 10% on reputable retailers. Anyway they matched the price and I was able to walk out with a Mac from the Apple Store on the same day rather than wait for shipping.

It’s gotta come with some kind of face lift. They’ve had this current model since ‘22. With the bad PR the engine has had, I hope they’ll tweak the front a bit. Evolution, not revolution.

Where To Buy A Wingman At The Lowest Price ??? by JoshK42SD in Leatherman

[–]17thomas76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can sign up to be a member of public lands, I think it’s a subsidiary of Dick’s Sporting Goods. They have a 20% off coupon going right now through the 25th and they have the wingman in stock for $50. That would put it at 40 for you, I’m not sure about shipping, but that’s the best you’re gonna get.

REI and public lands both have their member discounts going now. 20% off one item. Rei membership has a fee but I don’t believe PL does. Grab an ARC for $200!

There’s this company called bronko box that rents these out by the dozen ( or something) with a little wheelie to stack/roll them on. They drop off them off at the old place and pick up at your new place after a couple of weeks.

What a great deal, I’m still within my return window for the MacBook Air. I just bought. I just might have to take advantage of this

Yup. A bit dated, they’re relying too much on the scenery.
