Yup and the ones that hate to see how "woke" people suddenly are, are probably the ones with their hands in the cookie jar(s). It's pretty obvious what New (already plead guilty), Favre, the Governor and others were doing. With New and her son Zach, willing to testify against others involved, I would be very uneasy if I was one of those people.
Yeah there's a history with him of strange things happening, starting with the retire/unretire saga in GB.
Didn't know you are in Texas V. Is that by choice or for work? I've been there on business a few times. I liked it and the Tex-Mex. Like most places, it's not nearly as bad as its reputation (for being a state full of rednecks). If anything, the state is moving toward being blue, or at least purple. They haven't exactly had a lot of great governors......
it's not just rednecks that partake, it's alive and well all over this country.
This is my third time down here. First, in the Air Force, San Antonio area, second was working in the oil industry designing testing equipment, lived in New Braunfels, North of San Antonio, and the last time, as a "Winter Texan," retiree, spending summers in Wisconsin. Then, 5 years ago, selling our summer place, and making Texas our permanent home. Dead of winter in South Texas, between Harlingen and McAllen, 7 miles from the border, and off and on the rest of the year in the Austin area, where our two sons moved to, after having lived here part of their childhood. It figures out to about 7 months golf cart community in the RGV, and 5 months in the Austin area, which I also love.
Your point about dedication to family is well taken and in my limited experience, seen a lot more in the South than in the North. It's one of the nice features of Southern living as I see it. We're from WI, but spent 18 years in CA before moving back to retire. Almost went to Austin, but as you know, it's become very expensive relative to the rest of Texas.
Takes you by the hand, opens the window to the rest of the world and points to all the things even "smart humans" are doing, that make Brett Favre look like an alter boy.
Austin is expensive, and getting worse every day. The new Tesla plant is going to jack prices up further. The new plant $17 billion plant by Samsung in Taylor. All pushing the housing market prices higher, and creating huge needs. Also, the wages are going up. They're trying to get dispatchers for 911 in this area and starting them at $38k plus benefits, and are striking out. They think it will need to be somewhere in the $50k and up range to really getting what they want.
The whole track his flight back in 08? Was spear headed by the business partner I helped on bretts farve4ever web site.
He refused to be a make a wish person...he didnt want to deal with sick kids
Maybe. Favre's not the brightest guy in the world and there were others involved. I hate to think that anyone, anywhere would take millions intended for kids or the poor and divert it to themselves. I'm also not naive and know that this happens far too often. Well, once is far too often.
It's really pretty sad if Favre knew what was going on, and signs are pointing to that. Taking money intended for the poor and for kids is subhuman. And does Favre need the money? I'm sure he could have built a new volleyball stadium for his daughter by himself. It's sad, all the way around.
So he's a thief, and a stupid thief at that - putting something incriminating in a text while worrying if the "media" will find out. Texting is part of social media Brett.......
Which is, in and of itself because I recall reading somewhere that Favre did actually earn a degree at Southern Mississippi in "Education" with an emphasis in Special Education. Could it be that before he became a "brand", he had something of a social conscience? Wanted to do "good"? It takes a special breed of person, with cups of compassion running over to even aspire to such a field.
Hey, just print more. That's the way they do it, right?
That's the way the government does it. That's also why inflation is at 8-9%.
That, I'm afraid, is the mentality of way too many people. No values, nor understanding of money.
You're probably right. I'm guessing that in Mississippi Favre is treated like the governor, or the king, or someone famous. Kind of ridiculous after what we've learned about him (or not learned). Even so, I can almost understand (understand, not condone) wanting to take other people's money if it was so easy. But to take money intended for the poor, for kids - and there's a lot of poverty in the South - well that's deplorable.
