I saw the movie but it’s been a 100 years ago...I remember the Aretha Franklin scene the best
my buddy I used to work with always said he was going to open a scotch tape store...that was his favorite skit from the old snl
its hard to watch anymore
Honestly...I think you’re reading old news...and reading right out of the propaganda playbook.
who do you think owns all those containers? They just got tired of bringing them back empty so they buy commodities
The thing that I’m surprised the news media hasn’t picked up on...is that 10 days ago trump was pressuring gm to build more respirators and then gm relented and said they would help...two days later trump voided the higher mpg standards that obama signed into law
quid pro quo style
Us has a bunch of rare earth materials too...but to terriermans point...it costs a heck of a lot more to extract in us versus China and third world
epa...clean water act...and all the other environmental agencies...plus cost of labor...the us is priced out of the market
but we’re not left with our pants down...huge deposits in Nevada per 60 minutes about 6 months ago
I think it’s happening...China is pulling their money out of the us market...and we are scrambling to prop it back up
that’s what the stimulus package is about...government is trying to replace the Chinese investment.
Placate the little guy with a little walk around money...and prop up the market so the big money can cover some bets
itll get worse before it gets better...and Congress is standing by with stimulus package number xyz to rescue us poor citizens from the turmoil...but the rescue isn’t designed to help the little guy
itll result in hyper inflation...and then those free dollars will only be good to wipe your arse with...it’s ironic that the average us citizen sees this as a toilet paper shortage
Oil market is propped up too...that’s why Saudi’s and rooskies are racing to be the lowest bidder
us oil only viable option if price is propped up
but otherwise smell what you’re stepping in...and agree with it
To take it a step further...our leaders used the term war all the time when they initially were talking about it...don’t hear it much anymore
but to add-on to terriermans comment...if they shut down the economy...with it goes the consumerism...the majority of Americans aren’t out buying plastic gadgets of all sorts that were made in China...and fueling their economy...so we’re hitting them in the pocketbook
im not sure what the current trade gap with China...I could look it up but I’m tired...but I bet the gap is at least 5 to 1
really only thing China buys from us...is commodities...ie agricultural products...ie soybeans and grains...prices on that stuff is out of sight...way over what it would be without the China mandate to buy
China doesn’t need all that product...but was basically forced to buy something by us congress...so bought it because it’s a relatively safe investment and they control the market
I’m stopping before I get to wound up✌️
I agree with tjm...kinda similar to what happened with Japanese in the 80s...japan was buying everything in sight...we broke it off in them too
i think that’s what is happening now with China...japan didn’t have the resources that China has tho...human (military) or otherwise
I tilled in some peat moss and 13-13-13 this morning
tiller has smoothed out in forward spin...but definitely harder on the elbow...feel like I have tennis elbow
Hoping it starts raining pretty soon...so that will keep me from messing with it
That’s almost unbelievable if you didn’t have electricity til 2002...I thought that was just at the cabin
id sure like to hear the story...were you Amish or something? Some people were talking about Amish and mennonites a couple weeks ago...was that why?
On a lighter note...Its only been 3 weeks or so since I started this social distancing....but I need a haircut...so I’ve started doing a little research
heres some tips from This goofball for a diy haircut
pretty funny...swing
But...you didn’t have internet when you were a kid...not that it makes life better but to panfishers point...change is inevitable
just be glad you’ve lived long enough to see it
I don’t think I’m going to do the drip this year either...I got one of those music stand/tripod type sprinklers...and the set the hose down the row like mopanfisher said...should be good enuf
i got my planter today...wife didn’t seem impressed so that was probably a mistake...5 dollar corn style
but I did get my book...she reluctantly smiled when I showed it to her
I’ve made 3 passes tonight...going to Hit the watermelon patch before it gets dark....
I’ve started tilling with the blades going forward...My tiller jumps quite a bit when the tines are spinning forward but seems to be doing a good job...hopefully the more I do it...the less it will jump
dogs sure like running thru the fresh dirt
Makes you think about that video that wrench posted 3 weeks ago...China tanking the market for retaliation of the trade deal
i know seeing bill gates and other elites giving direction about how to proceed makes me nervous...super rich getting richer at the expense of others.
Old as time immemorial
Just saw on Kansas website that they’ve closed spring turkey hunting to out of state residents
If you already bought a tag...they will allow you to hunt...but says they encourage refunds
i wonder if they’ll do the same with fishing
