  1. Only way to do that is by penalizing companies from moving their production plants overseas. Otherwise, what incentive do they have when profit rules the day? Now...add in automation on top of it and it’s lights out. New slogan ‘Made in America...by Machines.’
  2. Apparently that is very difficult for our some of politicians to understand and implement.
  3. Have we? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2019/10/21/world/middleeast/us-troops-deployments.amp.html But I agree with the theory (I’ve been pounding the table to stop wasting tax payer money overseas)...I just don’t trust our government to reduce military spending and re-investing domestically instead. We love to dictate to the world how they should operate but fail take care of our own issues. Big corps, government...it’s the all the same greedy corrupt people.
  4. This decade is going to be a huge stress on our economy, post pandemic, as automation becomes a bigger factor...vaporizing a good chunk of low wage jobs and accelerating our wealth inequality.
  5. Which is why I recommend saving early and often to retire as early as possible...to anyone who has that capability. My plan is to retire at 55 but I know it will probably be closer to 60. Setting the bar high.
  6. I think their building codes were slightly different back then.
  7. Many older homes in the region don’t have the proper R Value.
  8. Sick final round and especially the finish.
  9. He used to travel often for ‘work’ too and now he ‘works from home’. I know a few people like that... he fits the profile.
  10. Pouring...this batch will head NE along 84. Congrats.
  11. The wells will fill up in winter. Don’t worry.
  12. Yup. That would be the winter climax. Doesn’t get any better.
  13. It is. I’ve done it twice but the last time was in 92 in my dad’s Ford Thunderbird lol. I remember being fairly anxious on the way up but the summit was euphoric. On the way down...hard braking in a heavy Ford wasn’t the most pleasant experience but my dad, as usual, wasn’t phased. I think he enjoyed the rush back then, secretly, as my mom was having a nervous meltdown thinking we would fall off the side of the mountain. The ‘this car climbed mount washington’ bumper sticker stayed on until the car crapped out on him in 96/97. RIP pops.
  14. Can’t recover from that, can you? Looks like instant paralysis.
  15. Your prayers will be answered by god himself:
  16. Loving the BMW. Course and conditions demanded the best from the best yesterday. Very US Open-esque. The player who has everything clicking will win it.
  17. Not 100% sure but it sure looked siggy:
