I don't even think it would be that difficult. The middle majority is tired of the chaos. The first party to give us a charismatic candidate who appeals to the middle majority will win. The Democrats are a bunch of disparate groups who generally hate each other. The republicans have a chance...

They do the same thing in Europe. It's because the state pays them to not work and pays them for every kid they have. Stop giving them money. Stop feeding the cancer.

Agreed. High oil prices help the oil companies. Low oil prices help pretty much everyone else.

How donyou like Braeburn for eating? It used to be a favorite of mine, but it's hard to find ripe ones these days.

Yes, we do, and Denmark has historically let us do whatever we want there. My guess is Trump wants to put in missile defense systems without the Danes being able to peek into what we're doing. There's a fair bit of resources there, too. Seafood and minerals mostly. I just did a quick Google...

You can access a foreign account from an American ATM. If two languages on an ATM bother you, European ATMs would blow your mind. They often have several European languages, and sometimes even a couple Asian languages for the tourists.

I'm in full support of AI. What I meant was it's unfortunate the economic growth seems to be limited to tech and AI as manufacturing growth in most sectors has been slowing down. Something like 75% of new investment is going into tech, with most of the rest in pharmaceuticals. I'm not opposed...

For th last few years, every coyote I got had a problem with it's fur right on top of the shoulders. It looked like it was rubbed off and started to grow back again. Very weird. And it made the pelts essentially worthless.

I disagree. It looks bad for the woman who tried to resist arrest and run over a police officer in doing so. It's standard for any law enforcement agency and considered a reasonable threat in the CCW class I took.

I heard that as well. They also toned down a lot of the doses because they killed off half a million of their customers.

Again, I think we have a fundamental difference of opinion regarding taxes. I don't consider living a privilege. I consider it a fundamental human right, along with liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Taxes are necessary to pay for services we receive, like military, police, fire...

It's unlikely those boats were carrying fentanyl. They probably carried cocaine. Fentanyl is generally produced in Mexico in small-ish batches and smuggled across the border. The reduction in fentanyl overdoses is mostly due to Trump stepping up security on the border and giving Border Patrol...

That's not what is happening. If you look at Colombia, for example, we already had a free trade agreement. We didn't tariff their goods coming to us, and they didn't tariff our goods going to them. Now Trump has put a 10% tariff on Colombia. And then he's talking about giving everyone a...

Ah, 4.3% GDP growth? Unfortunately most of that activity seems to be in tech, fuelled by massive spending on things like AI, which means it might be a bubble. The bottom two thirds of Americans by income are spending less, and spending on new industry is down. I wouldn't be surprised if we...

I fundamentally disagree with your entire attitude toward taxation in the United States. It is my opinion that taxes should be minimal. I also don't understand how you can possibly believe that tariffs or any other tax will encourage saving and working.

I explained this weeks ago. The "drug boat" excuse was a red herring for the sake of creating a pretense so they could bring a carrier battle group into the area.

That sounds like Trump's understanding of tariffs. Let me ask you this: if the US produces less than 1% of the coffee and chocolate that it consumes, what is the point of a tariff on coffee and chocolate imports? It will never shift production to the US. All it does is make those products...

Good luck with it. Choke tubes always make me nervous. The amount of pressure they are subjected to is incredible, and I am truly surprised there aren't more failures. I recently started shooting lead-free shot exclusively, so I'm especially cautious about my choke tubes.

Not sure what 4.3GDP means, but happy to have a discussion about tariffs.

Most of the tariffs are bad for the US. You can see that in the new inflation numbers. Otherwise yeah, starting off the year pretty strong.
