Worldwide Les :wow:

I would hope so. I was going to include this in a future post.

The donation amounts I've seen coming from athletes and sports organizations have been insulting.

Let me help you guys understand how much these teams/players care about the people:
- the NFL minimum salary is 465,000
- the nba minimum salary is 562,000
- the mlb minimum salary is 535,000

JJ Wat raised 1.5 million for Hurricane relief. That's the salary cap of punter Chris Jones on the Cowboys. That's 200k more than Chasson Randle's (nyk bench player) contract.

If I sat here and included anyone of these players in a trade with you, you'd laugh and tell me to get the fukk out.

The Texans will probably throw away $1.5 million worth of uneaten hot dogs this season alone.

I truly believe if you compare investments/donations to athlete contracts, you'll truly see what your value is worth to them.

There will be no Brock Osweiler checks cut bro. :hhh:

‘Mattress Mack’ Opens Gallery Furniture Locations As Shelters For Hurricane Harvey Victims - Horse Racing News | Paulick Report

As part of the massive effort to help aid families displaced by Hurricane Harvey, longtime Houston businessman Jim ‘Mattress Mack' McIngvale has opened up two of his Gallery Furniture locations for residents needing shelter.

Time.com reports that McIngvale, who has been known for his charitable work over the years, announced on the Gallery Furniture Facebook page on Sunday that two of its locations – one just north of downtown Houston and the other near Richmond, Texas, would have “food, beds and restrooms available for anyone in need — including kenneled pets.”

Gallery Furniture is also using its largest truck to help rescue people displaced by flooding.

Very important article that folks with time should read.

Environmental regulation is important.


No no no! Your governor and your so called president and every repubs in the country will tell you those are "job killing small business raping put (white) people in slavery regulations"
They don't need no regulations.
Stop oppressing them.
Hand of free market blah blah blah

Houston seems like a place where people from Cali would def move to considering all the opportunity out there, I know I considered it before all this went down. Is the city ever gonna be the same again? News making it seem like this is worse than Katrina in terms of damage

As a Katrina survivor and avid hurricane watcher, this IS worse.

Houston Brehs. My thoughts and concerns are with you, your families and loved ones.

My understanding is that after Katrina, the city of Houston has had an influx of new residents swelling the population. Places that used to be fields and natural land have been paved over with concrete. With much of the city being pretty flat in combination with all the concrete in place of natural land, the water does not have anywhere to go. is this true?

Unfortunately, yes. Just like the New Orleans area...the water in the Houston area has nowhere to go.
