  1. Joe will do ANYTHING to protect Hunter. ANYTHING.....including siding with the Chinese to make Hunter's deal seem harmless.
  2. What about the other 896 genders that are available to him? Seems he left a few out.
  3. Brady's not dumb. He will only go somewhere with a good offensive line and other offensive weapons. If its not there he will retire. He'd be retarded to have his last few years be sub .500 ball raising questions even more if it was him or Bill that deserves the credit for the 6 titles. Few competitors like him in the history of sports. Jordan was in the same book and going away from the Bulls hurt his rep a little bit.
  4. China doesn't want to destroy us yet....they still need us. 10-20 years from now might be a different story. Not saying they wouldn't like to see us knocked down a few levels.
  5. Bernie wants a chance to win he needs to call out Joe on this right now. Last week, Biden raised eyebrows when he shrugged off concerns over the China threat. “Come on, man,” Biden said. “I mean, you know, they’re not bad folks, folks. But guess what, they’re not competition for us.” In 2013, then-Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden flew aboard Air Force Two to China. Less than two weeks later, Hunter Biden’s firm inked a $1 billion private equity deal with a subsidiary of the Chinese government’s Bank of China. The deal was later expanded to $1.5 billion. In short, the Chinese government funded a business that it co-owned along with the son of a sitting vice president. https://nypost.com/2019/05/11/the-troubling-reason-why-biden-is-so-soft-on-china/
  6. I don't think we get much food from them besides fish. We need to stop allowing them to buy our companies. They do own some food producers here.
  7. Reality is this. We can't bring back everything. The focus should be on necessities like meds and med ingredients as fast as we can. Beyond that we need to work with Canada and Mexico to ramp up on other products that we can't make and rid ourselves of China once and for all. I see a huge positive in putting some stuff in Mexico and Canada over China. I can tell you this would be meet with great hesitation from corp America. Not just from a cheap mfg source but the worlds larges potential market. It would have other financial impacts. In my own personal experience my company and one of my customers jump thru all kinds of hoops to sell there and historically it has not paid off one fucking bit.
  8. Bernie's been pretty anti-China trade wise from the get go. Old Joe's and fam got DEEP connections in China.
  9. No surprise. We buy oil and sell arms to people that hate us too. I'm all for using up their oil. Its the arms I have an issue with.
  10. That would have been some cleansing. Likely nothing but bacteria would survive.
  11. I remember we were racing around on the backwaters of the Mississippi late that winter and had an old radar gun we were messing around with. Buddy showed up with one. It was putting up some damn fast numbers and giving some bigger sleds fits that day. Don't recall what year but my brother had a ZRT 600. Those were fun/fast little sleds as well. Oh man those were the days. I was running a 95 Mach Z then. Clutched right with 240 studs. Damn that sled was fun.
  12. In 1933 FDR under the guise of a never expired war statute and anti hording sentiment of the great depression ordered almost all gold turned in or "sold" to the US govt. Owners were reimbursed at a rate of about $20 an ounce. Not long after FDR or the FED artificially set the new gold price of $35 ounce making it wildly profitable for the US Govt. It was all melted down into bars and Fort Knox was turned into a garrison to hold it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_6102
  13. The half year release (95 1/2) Formula III 600 (Triple w/triple pipes) was a rocket in the 600 class for a few years. I recall DTR getting it into the mid 120's with the proper jetting. It was 8 HP stronger than the ZRT and about almost 20 over the poo.
  14. How am I a rookie? Been on Snowest since 2001 and HCS in about the first few weeks Rob started it.
  15. Dude.....do I even need to say it?
  16. I was on Snowest a bunch starting in 2001. Was an early member in HCS. Top 200 I believe.
  17. Just listen to the press conferences. The liberal media is more worried about catching Trump in some type of slip than informing America. It truly shows the level they are on.
  18. Never gave that a thought. Good info. I really don't think cash is critical. If things are really bad inflation would reach levels where you would need millions. Cash will not be a necessity in my book.
  19. The media will never give up their hatred for the other side narrative. Couple of the recent press conferences I watched on CNN and MSNBC to hear the comments after and it was truly disgusting. Immediate slamming of the President while hardly talking about the information presented at all. You have to remember.....the media and left doesn't just hate Trump. They hate anyone who thinks like him in any way. 60+ million American's.
  20. Proper reaction or overreaction to this it doesn't matter. This one should be a hard lesson for everyone. Unless we come up with antivirals or vaccine's that cover the majority of deadly virus' (vaccine of that nature is HIGHLY unlikely probably impossible)...if one hits with a 10%+ mortality rate in healthy people things will be 1000x's worse than they are now. Even a 2-3% mortality rate in the healthy could be exponentially worse with how people react.
  21. I'm contacting my local food bank and meals on wheels to make sure they have what they need. I would even be willing to let workers deliver while being paid if the need comes to make sure those quarantined have what they need. If you have the means this type of donation is far better than to national organizations that spend too much on administrative costs.
  22. Always have some cash in the safe. If it gets to that ammo/food will be more important than cash. I will increase my prepping. Hardly anything right now but gonna consider a backup generator and good supply of LP. Gonna do some dried food storage when this settles. Its not the fear of this its the fear of how people react. Without question a virus is the largest threat to our existing way of life. It can cause a financial/world collapse in a very, very short amount of time.
  23. Makes one wonder what the next 12 years will bring. Man I hope this is the worst of it.
  24. It shouldn't. People need to learn to cut back on things and get a safety net in place. Is it hard to do....absolutely. It takes sacrifice however all you have to do is listen to Dave Ramsey a few times to realize it can be done. I'm not saying employers, charities and even govt can't be a part of the help but we as citizens have to do our part to prepare ourselves for the unforeseen.
