If your taxes went up while your financial situation remained the same, then that almost certainly means you were having huge SALT deductions, in which case your taxes fixed an inequity, or you had kids old enough to not qualify for the tax credit when you could have claimed an exemption for them before, which either way is roughly equally defensible but certainly sucks personally if you came out on the wrong side of that.
For the vast majority of people, if Biden follows through on his promises to repeal the Trump tax cuts, their tax burden will go up. If breaks that promise and instead he follows his other, mutually exclusive promise to not raise taxes on people making less than $400k, then most people's tax burden will not go up, but our major donors will certainly be hit.
I don't think he'll be able to repeal the trump tax cuts even if he has the senate because a lot of democratic senators are not going to want to use their new majority to immediately raise taxes. I think it's much more likely that the rich will get a tax break by getting rid of the SALT cap and at worst he will raise the highest tax bracket or maybe highest two brackets up a few percent.
Survive, yes. Take some severe hits on engagement on all levels, no doubt that is going and already happening.
I bleed maroon and will always support my team but I ain't going to watch pathetic every year for every home game either. I'll watch from home and go to one or two. Just remember how bad attendance got with Croom. Those days will return if this goes on for too long like Croom did.
Next year Leach must show improvement, he doesn't have to win 7 games next year but year 3 he better win more than he loses or stick a fork in him.
Facilities is a funny topic. Bigger doesn't always mean better. Yes there are some bigger and better but there are several that are bigger but not better. At some point, living in a 10,000 sqft house or a 15,000sqft house doesn't really matter if it has all the necessary items. We have all those. If the bling is what makes the difference in us and somewhere else, he won't be happy here anyway.
The town of Starkville that everyone makes fun of ain't as bad as some think either. There are some big name football schools that are in towns that are a dump. I know people at or from those schools that hated it but from the outside everyone thinks they are grand. More media PR misdirection.
Yep. I guess certain fans prefer to watch the Dogs against the teams they have an 80 to 90 % chance of losing and skip the games where they have a 70-80% chance of winning. I guess being in the stadium when that 1 in 10 chance of winning actually happens is just to much to pass up.
i remember when Homecoming was the biggest crowd of the year and we usually beat VPI or Villanova by 40 in this games. Now we fill the stadium to watch Bama or LSU curbstomp us on the chance that we can say ?I was there when we beat the Bear!?
Survive was probably an overstatement but Starkville won't do just fine if it loses say 10,000 fans on average over 7 home games. Even if a lot of those fans don't spend much money other than on a hotel, that will still be a lot of money not pumped into the starkville economy. It will certainly survive and adjust, but there will be some short term pain adjusting to losing that much revenue on a yearly basis and of course it won't grow like it could if it still had that money coming in.
I see attendance of 35k more likely being the norm in Fall 2023 than 55K....if that?s the case, Starkville will be more like 1985 than 2019.
That may be but I wonder what the typical fan we lose looks like. Are the people we lose the ones that drive in, tailgate, and leave? Or the ones that drive in on Friday, eat out Friday night, grab either a quick breakfast or dinner out on saturday depending on the time of the game, and then eat brunch sunday morning on the way out of town. I assume the ones with condos or homes are still coming and that they are typically spending money. I assume will lose some of the ones driving in and driving out, but that they will be the ones to come to a game or two less, not just quit altogether.
I think the ones we're most likely to lose are the ones that are coming in and paying for two nights of hotel rooms at inflated prices and eat out and maybe even shop for their tailgate in starkville. I guess if we are losing those, maybe all that will happen is hotel prices will come down and somebody will replace them if hotel prices drop enough.
State has so many students now. I don't think a 10-20k swing in football attendance is as bad as people think. Sure it helps to have those fans but isn't detrimental to the town to not have them.
Having over 20k in enrollment will allow Starkville to maintain what it has now.
Trump says terrible things and then does perfectly normal, mainstream republican party things (except not starting wars and brokering MIddle East peace deals).
Biden says things that are perfectly normal, moderate democrat party things and then does terrible things. He also says things that are in line with the most extreme leftists and I don't think he'll follow through with them, although I guess.
They both say pie in teh sky ridiculous things about what they are going to do or have done that aren't remotely within their capability, but they're politicians so kind of have to give them a pass on that.
This is really ignorant. There are lots of retail businesses that can't make it if you take out say, 7 of their 14 biggest weekends. Even outside of retail, lots of businesses would be in trouble if you took away several of their biggest clients, or even just took 7 weeks of revenue away from them.
