Wrong. The country with the largest economy on the planet wins that game, period. Our GDP is twice that of China and then you have to add up the combined total of the next largest 10 countries' economies to equal that of the USA. The tariff war will end up leveling the playing field so that the US taxpayer is no longer subsidizing the economies of the rest of the world at our expense. First and foremost on my list would be the EU. They have fucked over America long enough. There is literally no way to eliminate our ridiculous debt without taking serious measures and there is also no way to achieve this without pain over the near term. American business is resilient and will always find a way to overcome short term challenges and ultimately succeed in the end.

As long as it takes, that's how long. The fucking party of woke that has been robbing American taxpayers for the last 4 years while calling everyone and everything they see as racist has zero percent chance of winning the next election if they continue to double down on their complete and total insanity. Nobody is listening to their absolute bullshit anymore. They have been caught and once fully exposed the party that has been reduced to a shit stain on the floor will likely never recover. The denial of any wrongdoing is absolute and now the lack of common sense is part of every leftists DNA. Just curious did MC's head explode after the election results or did he just takeover a couple of users accounts here to amp up the leftist nonsense?

No, we don't manufacture anything we install both glass only and full frame vinyl window replacements. At one point a couple of years ago we did look into manufacturing our own IGUs for glass only replacement but we decided that neither of us wanted to take on the massive daily grind of running a production manufacturing facility. We are good friends with our glass manufacturer and he has about 300 headaches (I mean employees) that give him daily fits of rage. His 12 car garage has some really nice toys in it but from my perspective just not a tradeoff I would ever personally make at this point in my life. My primary goal was to exit from the absolute bullshit of corporate America after 30 years and effectively semi-retire to something I could see myself doing for as long as I wanted. It has turned out to be the best decision I ever made as my brother and I get along really well due to the fact that we have different strengths. If the snow falls and we want to go sledding we just go and the business is just fine while we are away having a good time.

My brother had been running his residential window business in Texas for 25 years at the time. I left the rat race to bring his business into the modern era. He had no technology and had hit a wall where he could not grow without some automation and business process improvement. We have since doubled revenues and still growing at a nice pace. While there are headaches in every business these are far more manageable than those I faced working with the Fortune 500 in a Fortune 50 company. Initially I thought I would only work 10 years but I will be at 8 next year and can see myself doing this for many more years to come. Neither of us is ready to just sit on a beach somewhere.

My dad stopped dairy farming at the age of 55 and went back to concrete work in his 60's with a partner that was his same age. The entire business was just the two of them and they would only bring on another helper if they had a really big job. He hung it up at the age of 74 still shoveling and finishing concrete. He is about to turn 85 this year and still in very good health, likely because he stayed active for so long. He still drives his pickup on long road trips across the state, still mows his own yard and does all home maintenance including washing the windows up two stories on a ladder. The worst thing people can do is somehow feel like they reach some magical age when being productive is now somehow not important. I changed gears 7 years ago to get out of the Fortune 50 corporate rat race and partnered in my brothers' business. I plan to continue into my 70's even though I could have retired completely when I was 50. When you don't have to work for a paycheck it changes everything. As for Social Security. There are only two ways to fix the program. Limit benefits in one of many ways or increase revenues. Here is a calculator that anyone can play around with to see just how much time changes to in both of those areas makes. Raising the age does not even make a dent in solvency. They are going to have to increase revenues in order to solve for the insolvency problem. https://www.crfb.org/socialsecurityreformer/

Everything is going to be different in 10 years and of course battery technology will continue to get better but here is where EVs have to get to for the average American to get on board, including myself. 1. Purchase prices less than ICE equivalents. That means starting at $20K in todays prices and cheap Chinese made EV shit-boxes that self combust do not count. 2. Better range than ICE equivalents which means at least 450 ACTUAL miles of 75MPH highway driving even in our cold weather. 3. Charging ports as readily available as gas pumps are today with zero waiting and availability so that there is no waiting in line and reliable enough that they are not constantly down. 4. Charge times of less than 10 minutes. 5. Ability to have a damaged or defective battery pack replaced for less than $5K. If all of these things are a reality in 10 years that would be super. If not, ICE engines are going to be around for many decades to come.

Most informational part of that vid was the critical discussion of what setting should the heated gloves be on.

He has already done more for this country BEFORE being sworn in than the entire last four years administration did focused on driving it into the shitter. The recently passed big gubment funding bill is just the tip of the iceberg but the progressive leftist shitbags still complain that cutting over a thousand pages of total fucking waste was still not good enough and bitch to their ignorant base about how he's falling short without even pointing out the most basic of facts - he is not even the president yet. All while the current brain-dead for years POTUS is completely MIA running the country and busy pardoning every criminal bastard he can. Fuck every anti-American leftist shitbird that even thinks the last four years was remotely good for the majority of citizens of this country. Here's my prediction for the next four years. He will assemble the absolute best cabinet he can muster even with the establishment fighting him every step of the way. He will do everything possible to get this country back on track economically and militarily and being a leader on the global stage - just being elected has already impacted countries positively across the globe in setting the stage to get rid of entrenched progressive leftist regimes. He will try to help Americans of all races, colors and financial status while the swamp and what's left of the main stream media does everything they possibly can to stop it.

Not happening. Mary B made this statement a couple years ago when the gropey, dopey, joe administration was pushing an all EV MANDATE for all Americans. Trump has already said he is going to shitcan all if not most those mandates and will likely push that 2035 date out into the future. If Barra does not get on board with the fact the majority of Americans are not in favor of any all electric mandate to include hardworking Americans tax dollar subsidies she will be shitcanned as well.

This song has never been so relevant....

Did the fucking leftist media already convince the libtards that the potato head has already done more than trump to secure the border??

Awesome. By getting to business she must mean the same business that fucking lame old bat focused on which was trying to impeach the president multiple times based on complete bullshit.

Love it when they predict low snow, usually ends up being an above average riding season here. Last season, record snow total but two weeks we had planned one in January and one in February both had to be moved a couple of weeks because of great trails and then suddenly melted to shit right before the week was about to start. Trails closed in March and then banner fucking snow in April. Bottom line is they cannot forecast shit.

Stupid fuck committed a felony but will get a slap on the wrist because he's part of the protected group. He should get 10-20 years.

Lions looked good in the first half. The defense was either gassed at the end of the first half or just decided to take the second half off. Stay healthy and the team should have a good run this season. There were some highlights for Packer fans that want to see the rookies continue to improve. The bitch Packer fans in the stands that want to boo just because they don't have a HOF QB and a veteran roster to back him up after all these decades of having one should just stay home.....
