    You sound like a dolt.  There are obviously differences in process, justification, etc.  But at the end of the day, do they not both result in money being somewhat forced to change hands from an individual to the government.  At least that's how I take Anler's analogy.

    You and poop shoot are the dolts, Highmark is making perfect sense.

    Same here, I've consumed a ton of Kodiak in my day and not proud to admit it. I have switched to this in the last 10 years.

    Yeah I know as you bring it up all the time and frankly it doesn't bother me but it does put you on a level with the likes of Zoso and Creeper.....you should be proud Chad. BTW I may be all those things you say but I do have compassion for my fellow man and know that we all haven't succeeded in a vacuum like you seem to think.

    You came out of no where and called me a short sighted rock headed dumbfuck just because you disagreed with my opinion. Are you that fucking bored? It was like you were looking for a fight, get a life dude. Now, if you don't want me bringing up the fact that you're a college educated painter (the real meaning of a short sighted rock headed dumb fuck) don't be a fucking cunt in the first place, deal?

    Is it necessary for you to white knight for Snoputz not to mention you bitch and moan about Dave........ read a few threads and see how many times the dipshit Creeper brings my name up when I'm not even in the thread. Beside Snoputz and I have a little history and he is a shortsighted rockheaded dumbfuck.....anything else Sheriff?

    You're just a low life, ankle biting, bi-polar loser. Just remember dummy, somebody such as yourself who went to college and then became a painter shouldn't be calling somebody else a dumbfuck because quite frankly it doesn't get any dumber than that.

    Jim, why don't you just shut the fuck up, you are the dumb cocksucker. Explain to me in your never ending stupidity why somebody should be covered for a choice they made to abuse a substance? Listen you ankle biting little bitch, try to seek a life outside of the internet. Now go fuck yourself.

    They rocked. The  only 700's that could give them a race were polaris's 1998 700xc and yammies 700 triple. With a good clutch setup and some porting you could even fuck up a F7

    My '99 XC SP 700 would stomp those mustard bucket 700's like clockwork.

    Youre crying about rust....thats your fault....Thats a fact.

    I don't think so, newer vehicles from what I've observed in the last 10 years rust alot more prematurely than they used to, especially domestics. My son drives a 1997 Camry college beater with 160k on it, zero rust on that car. Might be time to consider foreign vehicles over junk domestics.

    Cat is not going out of business silly. They are doing what everyone else is doing, moving out!

    I didn't say they were poop shoot, but they had a major revenue drop and the fact that they're located in the Chicago area where you claim the economy is booming is a bit telling.

    Caterpillar to close Aurora plant, cutting 800 jobs

    Caterpillar is closing its plant in Aurora, moving the machinery made there to other sites and laying off 800 workers.

    The company, which has been weighing this move since January, will continue to have an office in Aurora for engineers and product support employees, says Cat spokeswoman Lisa Miller. Caterpillar's workforce in Aurora currently totals about 2,000.

    The plant closure is expected to be completed by the end of 2018. Workers will have the opportunity to apply to work at other facilities, Miller said.

    About 500 jobs and the work making large wheel loaders and compactors will move to Decatur. Production of medium wheel loaders and 150 jobs will go to North Little Rock, Ark.

    The move is part of the company's effort to slash production capacity in the face of dropping sales. Caterpillar revenue peaked at $66 billion in 2012 and has been sliding ever since. 2016 revenue was $38.54 billion.

    The company has been cutting employees since 2015, with the goal to reach 10,000 layoffs by 2018. The Aurora closure comes on top of those cuts.

    “Moving production from Aurora to other existing facilities allows Caterpillar to efficiently leverage manufacturing space while still preserving capacity for an upturn,” Denise Johnson, Cat's group president of resource industries said in a statement. “Supporting impacted employees through this transition is a top priority.”

    Though the company earlier said a decision on the plant's fate would come by the end of the quarter, the move comes four days after a new, six-year contract was ratified by Caterpillar's union workers. The contract with 5,000 workers represented by United Auto Workers anticipated the closure with special measures aimed at Aurora. Workers will receive a lump-sum payment equal to 40 hours multiplied by their hourly wage, multiplied by each year of seniority. For example, a worker who has logged five years and makes $22 per hour will receive $4,400.

    But Aurora workers were specifically excluded from taking a $10,000 bonus offered to men and women retiring before Jan. 2, 2019.

    Who did?

    IMO, our messed up trade policies started getting bad in the early 90's and it has gotten worse since. I like to believe our leaders have the power to change that but when they're dealing with lobbyists from big corps. in the name of greedy greasiness, it has to be difficult. At least back in the 70's and 80's there was still a lot of products that were made in the USA. Maybe the puppet masters don't care as long as the puppets are powerless.
