I think it depends on the grandparents immune system. Mom worked at a school...immunity. Pops was only sick a handful of times...ever. Some people can lick doorknobs and be fine. Some hear a sneeze and have a cold the next day. If you get sick more often, probably best to at least keep some...

Ok, kind of makes sense. The "globalists" I see as a threat here seem to be the banker types I guess. We don't enslave people by the traditional standards, we have people volunteer for it. People become slaves to debt. Not just the flashy lifestyle folks, the ones who need a credit card to cover...

Unfortunately, that is what I see from my very small view of the world. I only work with completed items, machined parts and the like. I just see it hitting the retail purchaser very hard.

If my situation were different, I wouldn't mind it at all. I love driving, well, through flyover states. I'm usually ok with not being a trust fund baby. Learned a lot more I think. At times though, the money does seem like a fair trade 🤔

Ever since having kids, always made sure I kept at least enough to feed them for a month or so. As I was able to afford more, grow more and can more, that has become less of a worry. The problem, as I see it, isn't one or two households or towns. Our system relies on the machinery and technology...

They hit cars and posts in the city, and run people off the roads on the highways. It's a lack of skills and class, not the location. I know the mechanic at the yard. Small Town advantage. Going to have him check the guys truck that has this route. Guessing it will have a dent in the fuel or...

"China has always believed that only when China is good can the world be good. Only when the world is good can China be better,” Replace "China" with most any economic or nuclear power, and that really is how a leader should lead his country. To some extent, I think Putin, Modi and Trump...

Get home from taking a kid into town for an appointment. Neighbor calls me up, "What happened to the fence on your southeast corner?" Uhh, excuse me? So, I wander out to the corner. Someone with a 10 wheeler clipped my fence making the turn onto the dirt road beside my house. More than clipped...

I really want to see Prague...any time of the year! Looks like it has amazing architecture spanning different periods (and rulers). Closest I've come is watching XXX and some random WWII videos.

Yes they do...they have to figure out their cut.

He went from being an optometrist to a king/dictator. Probably stuff everywhere in that country.

Pretty sure trusses would be fine. Unfortunately, that looked to be a 2000sqft shear wall sail. Wind from the wrong angle and the strain gets massive. A single sheet of plywood or ISO board has near shoved me off a roof, with a breeze :oops:

Shit, people are tired of me, and I'm not a billionaire. I guess I'm halfway to success 🤣

I'm glad you are doing well Chris. We are getting by ok out here, even getting the Christmas Tree up this week.

Sorry to hear that. Setbacks suck, but as you said, nobody was hurt. See, this wouldn't have happened if you built out here 🤣 (Probably because you'd still be waiting on permits :oops:)

Obviously, no labor, no production. Limit the labor pool and there will be limited production. In my tiny view of the world, the construction industry here in town is an example. (I use the term industry loosely) There are fewer people willing to do laborious jobs. There are contractors charging...

Your place, or a project? Either way sucks :(

I think he may have been more on the side of needed upgrades than complaining about the actual situations as they arise. I meant to ask last night, is there a rough number of how many miles of transmission line is strung in California? The number has to be massive.

The tariffs proposed by Trump are hopefully used more as threats and bargaining chips. I'm pretty sure China needs our dollars as income. I don't know if they could stay afloat without it. That said though, we've become really dependent on them. Of course, bringing manufacturing (and jobs)...

So, blame Trump for winning, Harris for losing....but no blame for the one who actually committed the crimes that needed to be pardoned. (Most of them we don't know)
