It is a bit regressive, you could also say it is fair since both the 70k and 700k person are paying the same amount. But it is also consumption based tax rather than production based tax, which to me is a step in the right direction. Will be interesting to see how this impacts the used car...

He has MS-13 tattooed across his knuckles. The restraining orders were released, and signed by his wife. Not sure what else you need. However, if I ever commit a crime, I hope you are in the jury.

This is pure fear mongering and speculation. Here is proof that there is precedent that it isnt true. RFK Jr was suing Trump, Trump let him ride in his private plane to take a vacation. Trump has said if he took everything that somebody did or said about him he wouldn't have any friends.

I think they were once upon a time, and the gangs ran the prisons. Before the new El Salvadoran president, the gangs did their own policing, had TVs, Cell phones and even prostitutes in the jail. Essentially the gangs were contained but not exactly a prison. But if you read about CECOT, it is...

Let's be clear on what willingly is. If you plead guilty you will do 1 to 3 months, if you go to trial and found guilty you will do 10 to 20 years. Also to fight it with a lawyer will cost you between 250k to 500k. And the trial will be in DC, with a jury from DC, who voted 90% democrat the...

This is who I hunted with. Amazing outfitter!

This is the best comment I have read on the internet in a long time. Well done.

Really sorry to hear that. That is complete B.S.

Unbelievable place, I have been fortunate to have been invited there 3 times. Took their long range shooting school. I believe you have to be invited or have a member vouch for you to get in as a member. Not sure if that has change or not. The service you get there is 2nd to none.

AH will now be charging the Chinese spammers a 104% tariff on every post, unless they agree to our exceptional offer of spamming anti hunting forums.

The issue is I have with this argument or discussion point is that he does have all the leverage in the world. The foundation of any business deal or any negotiation is basically understanding who has the leverage and if they know they have the leverage. To try to make a point otherwise is a...

I didn't even look at your user name, lol, yeah I understand why you are urging caution and thank you for not rehashing it here.

I was being a bit of a smart ass, sorry I couldn't resist.

Sounds very isolationist.

Waiting to see if Eth goes down to 3 digits. But XRP and SOL seem ridiculously cheap.

Brother, every country is like that.

In short, it doesn't. And if I am being honest, I don't think the administration considered this level of correction. I think what you have is a bit of conflicting data points messaging as well as timing concerns. I will try to articulate this as best as possible while typing on my phone...

When thinking about the tariff discussion, I am reminded of a saying, "For every beautiful woman, there is a man out there who is sick of her shit". I can't decide if USA and companies like Walmart are the beautiful woman or the man in this scenario.

1.3 Trillion was liquidated from the crypto markets over the last week.

Well I was feeling optimistic Jim Cramer was calling for an 8000 point drop and saying "Black Monday", but now he said to not panic. Needless to say, I'm extremely concerned now.

That buffalo is a tank!!! Congratulations!!

Its hard to argue with you when you don't realize rapid increase of interest rates can cause a recession because it limits business investment and impact liquidity in the markets. But yes let's go with COVID.

We arent in a recession yet, so I can't tell you why till we get there. The 2022 recession was not due to COVID, 2 years and full year after Biden is elected you are blaming COVID. It was rapid inflation with the rapid increase of interest rates. You also realize that almost every year the...

Technically we arent yet. It is coming. I dont know, but we have a recession with similar unemployment in Q1 and Q2 in 2022. How we always come out of it, lower interest rates, add liquidity, tax incentives, etc. Can you show me a recession that never ended?

You do realize that is a pretty doom and gloom statement.

Brother, you have been way too doom and gloom, might be good to step back. We are going to have a recession, we will come out of a recession. We will still be arguing numbers, policies, and their impact.

I have heard different things so hopefully someone with better knowledge on this can shed some insight. What was said was that the tariffs are suppose to bring in an additional 600B dollars. This money can give congress the ability to pass bigger tax cuts through reconciliation because the tax...

My first trip to Europe as a 16 year old, the dollar was actually worth 1.08 Euros, you can imagine how great that was and I could buy beer at a bar. It was at this moment I fell in love with Europe, lol. But I remember the 1.25 and 1.3 trips as well, which wasn't as great, lol.

For what it is worth, I was unhappy about it then too.

With all the focus on that, I am almost wondering if it was intentional. As you directly state we are all talking about that rather than the core issue. Normally, I would say it is a stupid mistake but there is a pattern (51st state nonsense, 3rd term nonsense) where there is something...

Sorry for the large reply instead of point by point, the thread is getting replies quicker than I can read. You original point was that a person could walk into a Gun Show and buy guns in bulk and walk out and drive to Canada. That is not the case, guns shows you have to go through a...

You know nothing of American guns laws, so please don't lecture us on what guns laws are. You are literally making my point. Canada isn't protecting its borders from guns being illegally imported. Because it is too hard! You are literally describing Canadian citizens breaking US and...

No way, anyone who hunts Liberia and hunts with Crocs in Cameroon is a much tougher person than me!

I think that is a fair point, and I don't think when Trump ran on securing the border it wasn't Canada that the American people voted to secure and were fed up with. But it would be fun to see Canadians chanting Build the Wall.

A bit of sarcasm here but why did Canada start charging a 5% GST on my guided hunts! Proof Canada started this trade war!

Not picking on you, but have heard about how US guns enter illegally, as well people and guns. I guess my question is why is this acceptable to the Canadian people, if you are identifying that as an area of concern why aren't the people demanding more border control at their Southern border? I...

For what it is worth the last administration changed the definition of a recession. I guessing Trump will say something similar. "Many economist, Nobel winners, very smart people, say that this isn't a recession, there are numbers and then there are other numbers, and the other numbers say...

I agree with this 100% and don't think I could have said it better. We already seeing prices in real estate drop, good locations are still hot, but those just outside the circle of good locations which were over inflated due to low inventory are getting crushed. I have already seen a 10% to...

But the problem you run into and your issue with the slippery slope is Canada has shown to be a slippery slope, if you are a trucker and you are exercising your freedom of speech and the government works with private industry to freeze your bank account you aren't free. Also, you are confusing...

I would have to argue with their math a bit, the DJT tax cuts didn't lead to the massive increase in the deficit many of the policy experts/economist said it would (we can blame COVID for that) so saying keep them in place would add over 4.5T to the deficit makes me skeptical. Though not...

This is an interesting statement. If the government is the one applying the consequences is freedom of expression truly protected?

Super cool!!! Congratulations!!! I will reach out to you when I am ready to do another Dart hunt! Also crazy jealous!

Just to let everyone know, the books came in about 3 days from payment which is about the fastest USPS has done anything. These are pretty hefty books and came in excellent condition. Overall it was an excellent experience.

I think this is the heart of the matter. It might be in our national interest, and we did make commitments but it seems to me honoring of those commitments has been one sided. Most NATO nations didn't honor their commitment to defense spending, they have unfair trade practices and the moment...

Hell of a trip and I am working on the write up. Ultimately unsuccessful but that was due to terrible and I can't emphasis this enough terrible weather. Saw Ibex everyday, and loved the experience..

I know there was guidance sent out a few years ago during COVID times that all work related texts were to be sent via Signal and not through standard messaging apps. So the fact Signal was used doesn't surprise me, though I am not sure why anyone would share what they did via text. Also a...

Thats a fair assessment, but governments move much slower than business. I just find it short sighted and reactionary given Trump's short time in office. I think there is something to be said about doing it within the EU, but I also feel there is a lot of posturing going on.

I can't think of a truly plausible scenario at least in the next decade. However, I can't think of a truly plausible scenario where the US would ever invade Canada. However, some have voice the US as more of a concern than China. I would also say that China is much more of a risk than South...

I'm pretty sure his entire post was mostly sarcastic. But your point about Trudeau did with the Truckers is spot on.

I might be naive but I don't see that scenario at all. I would be much more concerned about China as being a threat to Canada. But I am not Canadian and not sure what information you guys get. I did read an article sometime ago, that Canada in their war game planning considered a US Civil War...
