Aggressive price offers are a hostile take over. That's been the definition for well over 100 years. It isn't Liberal reporting, it's been in the Wall Street Journal since the early 1900's. WSJ is definitely NOT liberal.

I worked as a campaign volunteer for the Trump organization. He isn't what he seems. I still have an unpaid voucher from the 2016 run. The account is closed. He doesn't pay his bills. I am no longer a Republican. I am though, still an American. As such, I support the office of the President...

Actually, I have enough friends over seas who live in places like England and Australia that you may think YOU pay high taxes, you don't really. I get plenty for my taxes, National Defense, good roads, public services and so on. I do resent the really rich who skate on taxes altogether through...

I finally got my taxes done. Between retiring, working part of last year, drawing out of my 401K for medical expenses, this was the most complex tax return I've ever done. I'm not overjoyed to be paying taxes, but like Socrates said, "if you want to live in a society, you have to live by the...

Fuel prices are starting to drop, in some places around here. I drove by one place with $4.19, but 3 miles down the road, it was $3.82.

I hope you realize you don't "buy" beer. You rent it. :geek:

The Musk purchase got a little more involved today. Libertarians believe in NO regulation as much as possible. When Elon Musk purchased 9.5% stock in Twitter, he had 10 days to release it as information. The SEC s talking of reducing that to 5 days from the current regulation of 10 days as it...

I believe Musk is bipolar. I've dealt with people like that over the years. They tend to be very smart, often genius level smart, but erratic. I'm not saying Musk would do it, but a bipolar person would encourage Biden to run for re-election and have Donald Trump as his vice presidential...

Have you looked at Elon Musks past? You're not going to be happy with what he does. Don't fall into the trap of prejudicial bias. He may not do what you expect.

Production cut backs started in 2019. Between that and the oil companies not increasing production now, it's why the prices have gone up so much. This happened back in the early 2000's. Everybody driving big vehicles cut back due to high prices. Then production caught up. I'm just wondering...

Most of the Russian "Grunts" are just draftees that didn't know they were doing anything except military training, until they got sent into Ukraine. They are mostly poorly educated cannon fodder who are trusting. A lot of the atrocities we are seeing are from mercenaries, the Wagner Division...

The Ukrainians are getting really nasty. Add that to the Russian high command not having a clue, and a lot of soldiers will go home in bags. 2 are dead and many are ill after eating pies given to them by Ukrainian civilians that were poisoned. Many Russian soldiers are starting to have radiation...

I missed the draft by 10 weeks. When I tried to enlist, they were in a draw down mode and not really recruiting like they did previously and later. I found another way to serve and did it for nearly 10 years.

I got to talk to some former associates of mine today. A couple still are involved actively in what I know them from. The talk got around to the Paper Bear of the Russian Army. The draftees were told they were going into Ukraine, the ones that were told in advance, that they were going to run...

The way I was raised, if it's not mine, I don't want it. It's paid off numerous times through the years. There have been times I could have profited short term, but I sleep good at night.

Nope. I refuse to profit from someone else's mistake, if I can correct it. If I notice it later, well, there's not much I can do then.

I had one recently where all I needed for change was a quarter. I was given 70 cents. The girl behind the counter was SURE that was correct.

If there are several check out lines and they are fairly long, I will go through the self check out if I only need a couple of things. It's when they REQUIRE you to check yourself out, and won't take cash, that I have my main issue. Several years ago, I had a motorhome and it didn't have a TV...

Toyota invested in chip production a while back. There is a move towards onshore production of components over the last couple of years. I think Ford is moving towards less stuff sent from overseas. GM and FCA may also be going that route. Henry Ford had it right when he made as much in house...
