Especially with single family homes having tripled in price in the last 10 years. [Vegas Inc.]
Gas prices are nearing all time highs having jumped 60 cents in the last week. [RJ]
With all this talk of inflation, how is it affecting your life? Have you changed what you are charging your clients? Are you discounting to help them out or bumping prices to keep up? Are you considering an electric car or scooter?
When I go to it, it starts a download of a page. If you save that page to your computer then rename it and add a ".txt" file extension to the end of it you get a WordPress PHP file that is supposed to kickstart loading the WordPress theme. So….. IT needs to step-up.
I'm really sick of the state bar. We pay huge fees, OBC treats us all like we're guilty until proven innocent, and the website continues to suck. Paying my bar dues and CLE dues this year was a nightmare. Every year we have to pay them…why isn't there a giant button that says "pay here"? Instead we have to hunt around that burning garbage heap of a website to find a link to a link to a payment link. WTF
@12:16p here – looks like they fixed the PHP non-execution error but now we're getting this error: "Error establishing a database connection". Yay……

I'm trying to drive less by combining trips and frequenting fewer drive thrus so as to reduce gas consumption. Maybe this increase in inflation with directly correlate to a reduction in my waistline.
Not gonna lie, at the moment I"m feeling pretty good about my decision to get an electric car last year. Not only gas prices, but I get a tax credit too.
… and the electricity you use to charge the vehicle probably comes from a coal fired plant. Not to mention the huge environmental mining costs to get the metals for the battery, and the non-eco friendly disposal of the battery.
Good job on saving the Earth.
Yeah, NV Energy uses mostly "clean-burning natural gas," in Clark County, not coal. At least, not since 2017. If you happen to live up by Winnemucca, you will get coal power until 2025. After that, coal-free.
1:14, our blog overlords literally asked if people were moving to electric cars. Dude said he's feeling good about it because of gas prices and tax credit. Why so butthurt?
12:38 didn't even mention the environment, he mentioned purely economic benefits of having an electric car. Some people on this blog love making up things to be mad at.

Filings for the JP races show that at this point only two races are contested with two or more candidates filing.
Judge Bonaventure has an opponent named Danielle Chio. Don't know her.
The Dept.6 vacancy has former Family Court Judge Bill Gonzalez, as well as Jessica Goody, and Tracey Hibbetts. Gonzalez could have a good shot. He very narrowly lost a Family Court race, for a newly created department, in 2020. Lost by less than 1%. However, he was never that highly rated as a judge(in the RJ survey) if that really makes any difference with the electorate(which I tend to doubt).
Max Berkley, son of Shelley Berkley and veteran attorney Fred Berkley, is uncontested in seeking one of the JP vacancies.

12:44, this is all real early so that could change.
That said, vacancies tend to attract their most serious candidates on Day #1, which means that the three who signed up for Dept.6 are probably the strongest and most serious candidates for that vacancy, and that if anyone else signs up it may just be a fringe candidate straggler or two. That would tend to be generally how these matters unfold, but for all I know there could still be a strong candidate or two who sign up.
The Berkley situation is interesting. As he has never held office before I doubt he would be perceived as so strong that no one else of any substance wishes to sign up. But, then again, look at who his mom is. A lot of juice there. The young man could prove hard to beat.
As far as Bonaventure, I don't know his opponent either, but, on the surface, it seems unrealistic to me that a challenger could realistically expect to knock Bonaventure off(unless this opponent is incredibly well-funded and is set up for a lot of major endorsements. But I have not heard anything like that).
So,if she is not well-known and well-funded, she could still do surprisingly well based on the gender advantage in local judicial races, but I still think Bonaventure should come through with room to spare.
And I agree about Bill Gonzalez. He has run a few times, and even when he loses he tends to run close races, so he could prove to be a strong candidate.
And, as 12:44 suggests, the electorate neither knows nor cares how he performed as a judge.
WTF is going on with with the SBN website today?

OP Here. Ditto.
Wait, should we be surprised the State Bar's website is built off of WordPress? They couldn't manage to have a proper website built?

Had to mail my payment, because website did not work.

A smug, self-congratulating electric car owner. How novel.

but at least I'm not paying for gas!
Coal? In Clark County? Not likely.
Keep scrolling, troll! Let it go.

Looks like Pieper Chio is from DA's office. maybe they're fielding their own candidates?
