The best way I can describe early Fatherhood is that your kid could be 15 feet away from you eating pancakes at 7am and somehow you’ll get hit in the balls by some random object’s weird unexpected rebound effect.

Peaceful protest is a right. Blocking people from going to work or going anywhere is not right and doesn’t help anything for the cause.

It’s 3 months - I mistyped. And no, I don’t. One good example is traveling nurses. The healthcare industry is HUGE in Tennessee - it’s a big part of Williamson County’s economy. The traveling nurse industry is also massive. Traveling nurses need short-term leases - often 1-3

You apparently don’t understand that AMERICANS pay the the tariffs. So every purchase at Walmart or Home Depot would get an additional tax. I hate taxes but this ain’t the way.

Back in 2000, I lived in a house in Raleigh with two Marines, a Navy Seal and our neighbors were three COR firemen. So you might say we had a lotta people over. Public street, public parking, there was no way around it. But this older redneck guy across the street just thought

In Raleigh yrs ago I looked at a 3-story townhouse on a hill that had serious settling. Agent told me $2000 fix. Got my buddy who’s a structural PE to inspect it; his estimate was $45K; did further research & the orgl GC had multiple lawsuits against him for shotty construction.

Apparently people don’t understand that WE (the tax payers) pay the tariffs. Think about every product you purchase at Walmart or Home Depot or Lowe’s or even Publix having 10% added to the already existing sales tax. I’m all for tax reform but we will end up paying MORE.

It is coming and one thing a lot are overlooking is some of the land, especially farmland and family homes in smaller towns and rural areas that none of the kids (even their millennial and GenX kids) simply don’t want.

Agree with you but what choices do people have? My 7yo had an ear infection. It was a holiday weekend so we took him to urgent care. There are only a handful of options in TN for urgent cares - most if not all are owned by big hospital companies. It was $416 for him to goto

Not just NYC, it’s all cities, even smaller towns. Lost office rent & ancillary biz rev. Remote workers don’t spend $ on parking, commuting, restaurants, happy hour, golf, etc. The trade off is flexibility & more family time; cities & the corp office sector will have to evolve.

We need both. Not sure how much Duke costs but an accounting degree from UNC or NC State definitely isn’t anywhere close to $50K much less $150K.

Dichotomy in Nashville - $400K homes selling in a day, $1MM properties on the market for weeks or months. There’s a $1.3M new luxury build down the street from our rental that’s been on the market for 7 months now. But a $475K 1980s house literally on the same street sold in

I’d be out. Spent years at corporate, staring into a cubicle from 7:30am - 5:30pm w/ a crazy commute plus spending 20+ hours on nights & weekends to actually do the job b/c work hours were filled with endless meetings, checklists and wasteful crap. Live to work, no thanks.

Of course. Always tip well for good service. I went to breakfast last week, my tab was $14 and some change - I tipped $50. Stayed there over 2.5 hours, did a bunch of work, closed a deal, server kept my coffee full and provided impeccable service. Didn’t even think twice about

You’re missing the point. The problem is over-reaching HOAs and government groups like Williamson County. That limits what people can do with their own property which in turn limits options for renters and traveling workers which in turn adversely affects businesses, both big

Didn’t work last time. When Trump passed the tariffs in 2017 or 18, a table saw at Lowe’s made in China went from $325 to $390. Years later, them table saws are still made in China. The only result is that me, the contractor buying the table saw, pays that tariff.
