When I was in Destin in January you couldn't go anywhere without tripping over a for sale sign.  Lots of stuff for sale, people just don't like the price.  Housing prices along with insurance costs have gone way up in Florida.  That's if you can even get insurance. 

I hope prices go down a bit in st. Pete’s area!!

I know someone looking!!

I may have to pitch in!!😁

under river over to Brooklyn!!

seemed pretty safe at least during the day!!seems like it turned into a shit hole!!

was hoping to get back to see few things we missed but maybe not!been through that mall!

Sounds like reasonable deal that should of been done weeks ago.

You must not spend much time in the FB Cat race sled group... highly regarded and lots of $$$ gets exchanged to keep BM sleds and engines alive.  I think it's cool though because I'm weird and have disposable income not wasted on a new sled... or other things 

just had to throw that in!!back in early 90's black magic was what everyone was running on the 580's.

@hayward disagrees... 

 

Black Magic, Speedwerx, D&D all made some cool Cat enhancers, didn't they?

I wouldn't ever do it to a brand new sled, but an older sled with some miles you enjoy or love in need of a top end refresh owned or bought reasonably... then maybe¿? 

The biggest shortcoming with the aftermarket kits is support after the sale years down the road.  Example, I almost bought a D&D 602 SP two summers ago for a good price but after doing my rEsEArch to freshen it with 'stock' 600 pistons requires machining to the bottom of the piston which the average guy isn't going to do in his garage and sending the jugs to my friend in PA.  So I walked on that one as I already have one of those 'on occasion' sleds but put 5x more miles on the uber reliable stocker as engine parts for that are still readily available and I have a complete spare top end for it (or the m0d) on the shelf... thanks again for that@krom

 

 

 

Black magic!!😂

I though our court system was full of fuckery.

The Karen's of Ottawa have a 300 million dollar lawsuit against the anti lockdown protestors.

No lawsuits have gone forward for native blockades, church burnings, BLM shutting down roads or pro Hamas maggots closing bridges.

Just peaceful, mostly the white working class getting sued.

 

 

Mostly white male working class!!!

Last couple years service from most really sucks!!

im not tipping fast food joints or takeout!!

So we’ve been pushed to not carry cash and now want us to pay 3% charge to use my debit!!

like stated give 3% discount for cash not charge for it if I use card!!

unfortunately for those restaurants that charge me 3% I take that off my tip percentage!!

Turbo!!

Dozens of big U.S. companies paid top executives more than they paid in federal taxes, report says

Source: CBS News

March 13, 2024 / 12:01 AM EDT

Top executives of dozens of major U.S. companies received more in their compensation packages from 2018 to 2022 than the businesses paid in federal taxes, according to a new analysis of financial data from the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) and Americans for Tax Fairness (ATF). 

The report highlights the issue of whether some America's biggest and most profitable companies are carrying their weight, and comes as President Joe Biden is proposing to boost the corporate tax rate to 28%, up from the 21% rate set under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA).

The analysis, which examined tax and compensation data for the first five years after the TCJA went into effect, seeks to link generous pay packages for top executives with the lower tax rates that corporations have enjoyed since 2018. Pay for corporate leaders has been on the rise for decades, with CEOs in 2022 earning about 344 times more than the typical worker, up from a ratio of 21-to-1 in 1965, according to the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute.

"We have these never-ending fights in Congress over our fiscal situation, one crisis after another, and one reason why we're facing fiscal challenges is because corporations have not been paying their fair share of taxes," said Sarah Anderson, a lead author of the report and director of the global economy project at IPS, a progressive think tank. She added, "The executive compensation system is really set up to incentivize executives to push for corporate tax cuts and take other measures that will boost the value of their shares in the short term and the value of their paychecks."

No doubt this needs to be straightened out but those making the rules are same ones benefiting from them!!

too bad they can’t figure out if everyone paid fair share we’d all be paying less!

but then again they would just spend more!!look at how wasteful state and federal government is!!!!

look at some of these jobs and made up jobs !!

most private companies would go broke!!

Yep cut all the foreign aid and war shit wouldn’t take long to get back to somewhat balanced budget!!!

How about prosecute the he'll out of those that make straw purchases!!

Maybe make those trying or doing it think about it for a second!!

they will get guns one way or another!!
