Lest We Forget This Election Year -- August 25, 2024

Locator: 48453TAXES.

This seems to be one of the most egregious Federal taxes out there.

**************************
NDSU and the NFL 

NDSU quarterback vs NDSU quarterback. 

Think about that. There must be a gazillion college football programs, and this weekend, two NDSU quarterbacks, back-ups on major NFL teams, squared off against each other. Just for the fun of the game.

Link here

Tonight, watching the game, pre-season, Los Angeles Rams at Dallas, taped game, yesterday, August 24, 2024.

At the moment, first half, for the LA Rams: quarterback Easton Stick, former NDSU quarterback.

Now, Trey Lance getting some good comments from the commentators. 

Also from NDSU during "their recent dynasty": Trey Lance and Carson Wentz.

Price Gouging -- Uncle Ben's Rice -- Lundberg Rice -- Iberia Jasmine Rice -- August 25, 2024

Locator: 48452PRICEGOUGING. 

Rice is a staple. I would assume the Democratic presidential candidate would be concerned about price gouging a staple. She has said that if elected president she would go after price gouging.

Speaking of gouging, is Uncle Ben's gouging on the price of rice? Is Lundberg gouging on the price of rice?

Uncle Ben's rice at 20 cents / ounce. At 20 cents / ounce, 3.3x that of Iberia (see below)

Lundberg rice at 23 cents / ounce. At 23 cents / ounce, almost 4x that of Iberia jasmine rice.

Iberia jasmine rice at 6 cents / ounce.  At six cents ounce, about one-fourth the cost of Lundberg rice.

Six Of The Ten Fastest Growing Cities Are In Texas; Five Of Them On I-35, San Antonio To Dallas -- August 25, 2024

Locator: 48451TEXAS.

Six of the ten fastest growing cities in the US last year (2023) were in Texas. All of them, except Conroe, Texas, were along the I-35 corridor from San Antonio in the south to Dallas in the north. Conroe, TX, is on the north side of Houston.

Kyle, TX: is the second-fastest growing city iin the US, on I-35, about midway between San Antonio and Austin. This is really quite incredible. Soon, perhaps very soon, the two cities will become one big metropolis. It's really quite fascinating. I saw it coming twenty years ago -- similar to the Boston - NYC - DC corridor? 

Politics: the entire stretch, at one time was solid red; now it's dark purple, and could easily be blue this next time around. 

Link to The Wall Street Journal:  

From the linked article:

KYLE, Texas—People and businesses have flooded into Kyle, Texas, since the pandemic, making it the second-fastest-growing city in the U.S. The influx is creating wealth but also contributing to a big problem: Kyle is getting hotter and running low on water.

Housing developments pop up seemingly overnight on this patch of hills and prairie between Austin and San Antonio.  

Amazon.com recently opened a 308,000-square-foot sorting center in town.  

Tesla built a megafactory nearby

But climate change can make living here brutal. Underground, the aquifer that Kyle relied on is shrinking. The city for three years now has had to buy water rights from nearby San Marcos to satisfy its growing population. Temperatures hit nearly 100 degrees before this summer even started, and drought conditions persist. People wear neck fans, limit outdoor time to early morning and nighttime, and keep their children inside.

San Antonio is the first major city those coming from Mexico will see coming north. For Mexicans, San Antonio is the #1 US destination for Christmas shopping, at this longitude
