Almost Every turbo has a wastegate and most are operated on pressure not vacuum. There’s no such thing as negative pressure  that’s an oxymoron , moron 

Variable Geometry Turbos do not have waste gates...

Used in Duramax since 2004.5 LLY, Cummins, & Powerstroke since mid 2000s.

Buying votes.   Nothing more...nothing less.  Could cost taxpayers $300,000,000,000.  

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-announces-student-loan-handout-national-debt-soars

College grads earn 2-3 times more over their lifetime yet we are handing them money at the partial expense to those that never went.

Colleges will just increase their cost.

Shameful.   Hopefully this is taken to court and found unconstitutional. 

And college students are still signing up for these "predatory lending practices" as we speak. Why would we want to fix the root problem when we can just put a band aid on it on the back end? Disgusting.

Went to college twice. Took student loans out twice. Paid the first one off in 2010 and the second one off 2 months ago.

If student loan forgiveness is such a good thing, why are they still giving huge loans to students while talking about forgiveness? Because they don't want to fix the problem, they just want to pander for votes and get people riled up about how they're victims of the the student loan industry (government).

If you're in the Northwoods of WI, check out the Leinie's Special Ale.  Certain bars have it on tap and it's a good beer.  Some bars call it something different but it's worth checking out.

It's just another way to avoid taking responsibility and promoting victimhood for fat people. It's not their fault they're fat!

What the fuck ever.

I can't name one good reason.

 

No good reason at all.

It would be nice to have a balanced centrist that doesn't cater to the extreme/fringe of either side. Maybe someone that actually represents people in flyover country instead of the coastal and urban elitists. Certainly not holding my breath though. 

Maybe someone that will actually TRY and bring people together instead of just blustering about it.

It's fun to dream sometimes...

And the GOP’ers are convinced it’s a hit job against trump. Amiright? 

And the lefties "know" he's guilty, no question about it.

If you put aside the left vs. right, just on this forum alone, and step back and look at the posts and rhetoric. It's a bunch of people from various parts of the country arguing about people they don't even know, to people they don't know. Most of the statements made on this forum wouldn't be made if the person you were making the statement to was right in front of you.

The federal government has never raided a former president's private residence before.  That means that either 

A) There's evidence he's guilty of something and they had a reasonable cause for conducting the raid.  

B) He's such a threat in the current political environment that the FBI has been weaponized to deal with him.  If he's not guilty, then we have much bigger problems at hand.

Where's the center?

If he did something wrong, try him and punish him.  But also, indict the others who have evidence against them, Hillary, Hunter, Pelosi, Gaetz, Cawthorn, and all the other assholes. 

It's no wonder people hate the current political climate, they're a bunch of fucktards.

Quit with the double standard already.

oh, failed to mention that it's obvious he needs an assault rifle... because 2nd, well armed militia and such.  wonder how many more socially conflicted zombie cult45'ers are about to go off. 

it's sad really....

It actually is sad that this person thought this was a viable option.  It's also sad that you can sit (wherever you are) and judge someone from afar who was clearly broken and whittle everything down to "Trumper, assault rifle, and socially conflicted zombie cult45'ers".

Ok man... I'll take that as a big nothing burger response to a fear-mongering, name-calling video that's just like all the other fear-mongering name-calling videos on YouTube.

I did watch the video. Thoughts on my rebuttal?

Ok, I'll bite...  

Show me ANY mainstream news source that tells reports the whole truth and doesn't try and manipulate its viewers...  

Labor costs:  Remember when the democratic talking points included an across the board, national minimum wage of $15/hr?  Well, we're pretty much there now, at least unofficially, and in many areas, we've surpassed that and it's now on the low side.  But does it contribute to inflation?

Labor force projections:  https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2015/article/labor-force-projections-to-2024.htm

WHAT is the democrats' immigration plan?

Democrats have control of the house.  There is 50/50 in the senate with VP Harris as the tie-breaker.  How are republicans blocking fixing the illegal immigration problem?  Obama had both the house and senate, yet he didn't do anything about it either.  The opinion that the border should be secure and that illegal immigration laws should be enforced, doesn't equate to hate and the lack of "acceptability" of people of different races and cultures.  Shouldn't the people coming into this country be screened?

WHY should anyone believe government talking heads about getting vaccinated when a) It doesn't prevent infection like a "classic" vaccination, b) It has shown to have no affect agains Omicron BA.5?  Why shouldn't people critically think for themselves when it comes to their own healthcare?  

This is all fear-mongering and posturing, and both sides do it.

And for the record, I'm not a republican or a democrat.

Poor comparisons. You know for a fact the US military is going to shit all over you , abuse you ...send you to play blown up meat sack for no reason and then abandon you. I have no sympathy for someone who chooses that path. 

Agreed, poor examples, but clearly you lack sympathy for people that have bad things happen to them because they made a choice.  In some cases, I agree.  In the case of serving in the military, I disagree, but it seems that you're oversimplifying things but I guess that works for you. 

Can we start a go fund me for missile costs?  ...asking for a friend...

That's a pretty awful thing to say!  "You deserve to get cancer because you were around people that smoked!" "You deserve to die after being hit by a drunk drive because you chose to drive!"

That’s fine but this same bill passed an earlier Senate vote and let’s be honest and admit that neither side gives a fuck about veterans…this is about sticking it to each other.

Why don't we expand on this and admit that neither side gives a fuck about ANY of us until it's election time?!  Let's face it, the only ones looking out for the general populace are, wait for it, the people themselves.  They pretend to just enough to divide people and point one of their fingers at someone else while they hold out the other hand for $$.  The sooner people admit this, the better off we'll all be.
