re: Southwest flight attendants union ratified contract making them highest paid in industry

Posted by Tony The Tiger on 5/1/24 at 10:05 am

I'm happy for them and all, but [i]these[/i] raises are mostly due to inflation running out of control. Increasing salaries to compensate for inflation will only drive inflation higher, which will mean more raises in the future—and it will become a game of dog chasing its tail. ...

re: Light attendance at Church the last several Sundays

Posted by Tony The Tiger on 4/28/24 at 8:35 pm

Everyone is entitled to their beliefs and how they choose to spend their Sundays. I am imperfect, but I do try to attend Mass each Sunday. Doesn't make me any better than the other guy.

[quote]It doesn’t make sense that a parish would have to “turn over” or surrender its assets to a new city that formed after the assets were established.

re: Jeff Landry Triple Dog Dare

Posted by Tony The Tiger on 4/5/24 at 3:56 am

As a conservative, I am so incredibly disappointed in Jeff Landry. He is either trying to hurt the LSU brand or score points with low-information voters outside Louisiana—or both. It is all terrible. He won the election w/out a runoff and with tremendous political capital. It is all in doubt ...
