I would estimate that 90% of the Russian people likely make less than $10,000 per year.

I think this is good estimate, but it has to be said IT IS: within average for eastern europe. My country included. Considering median 800 usd, I know my uncle, retired commercial navy deck officer, lives in a house (morgage paid off), has a car, pays the bills, with pension of about 400 USd per month. (decent living) But he does not have a rifle, nor he hunts, and he doesnt plan african safari.

(it would not be politcally correct from me to mention which countries are worse)

Considering the commercial rifle prices (from 1k upwards), safari costs, and our hobby, unfortunately this forum cannot be the measuring stick for the world.

We, the members of this forum, belong to maybe 1% of worlds population who can actually afford a commercial rifle (often more then one), and african safari, even if it is only a plains game safari in south africa, nothing more fancy then that.

How idiotic is our Senate that they have to make laws about the time.

We evidently aren't smart enough to change work hours on our own if we wanted to. Let the kids freeze in the dark waiting for a bus. etc.

i refuse to acknowledge Daylight Savings Time. I keep my watch set to Standard Time and figure that everyone else just wants to get up and go to bed an hour early.

What does that mean for Arizona? We are stuck on standard time?

That means you have a governor that had the guts to tell the Fed to GTH with their sun manipulation.

As a former Arizonan, I fking HATE time change. However, I despise Daylight “Savings” time. Why can’t we just stick with standard time.

Zulu time, no a.m., no p.m. just a number.

Whiskey time (Hawaii/Alaska) would work too.

I heard they had double daylight savings time during WW II. That probably threw the Axis side attacks off by two hours.

Becoming GMT -5 will make me feel like a Yankee.

Well there are Southern states that are GMT/UTC-5, but I feel you. I’ll be on Canuck (Labrador) time. SMH.
