Who’d need that fucktard? Nobody takes him seriously anymore, after him and Putin gave each other a blow job.
Reminds me that “landing under sniper fire in Bosnia” Hillary’s bullshit.

Anyone else notice how precooked gas station food has exploded in price since 2O2O? Stuff like burritos, roller stuff or corn dogs. Not that i eat it a lot, but I do when i have a rushed morning on the weekend or if my metabolism crashes hard while i'm on the run.

I ashamedly consumed more than my fair share of microwave burritos as a teen and into college. They used to be 33c each, and on sale for 25c each. I mean, 99 cents for a filling meal you couldn't really beat.
They're now pushing a buck a piece in the grocery stores, and over $2 in Stop n Rob's... and they're half the size.

We are lucky they’re still under $5.95. Which, coincidentally is what I paid for a bacon egg n cheese sammich at a quickie mart in Alberta a month or so ago.

Yeah definitely a WA thing, probably CA too. Minimum wage laws. If your cashier can also be your cook, easy money. Restaurants here can't maintain a full staff and produce cheap food.
Restaurants were doing just fine down in GA when I was there a while ago.

Ukraine is joining NATO - which Russia says is a line in the sand. White House spokesperson said they don't support Taiwanese independence. Basically telling China to invade.
Fuck.

China and Russia concern me less than Love's truck stop toilet seats. They're both paper tigers, all hat, no cattle, we could squeeze them if necessary but don't because they make certain Americans a LOT of money. They won't shit where they eat and we won't kill off income generators willy nilly.
It's the great game, learn to love it!

Not sure I'm as optimistic as you two gents. Too many moving parts.
Canadian Prepper gives his take:
_________________ “Finding ‘common ground’ with the thinking of evil men is a fool’s errand” ~ Herschel Smith
"The said Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms." ~ Samuel Adams

Canadian Prepper gives his take:
First, that shit was broadcast by the mainstream media back in 2015. Propaganda: noun....you fill in the rest
He's a great salesman for chaos...while wearing his hat that you can buy, and stopping part way thru to hock his own company's "emergency preparedness and survival gear" inventory.
For someone so worried about China taking over the world he sure sells a lot of Made in China shit on his website....Click here to save 10%....

Canadian Prepper and Full Spectrum Survival both post imminent worldwide apocalyptic programs every day. The scared shirtless part kind of wears down on me to where I largely ignore them. They say some key points that need to be emphasized, but they drumbeat the world is going to end tonight, which it's not. There will certainly be some interesting times, like the COVID scamdemic, in the days ahead, but daily hysteria gets old.

A private equaty company bought out starrett tools a month ago, and i just found out..... Bad news for manufacturing
Why is this bad news?
I cant name a single time a company getting bought out by one of these huge conglomerates actually is a good thing. They will probably move mfg overseas and the quality will suffer. In the world of machining, starrett is still considered one of the best quality brands

Starrett is outsourcing at least since 2008. There is a shitpile of Chinese, Indian, etc. Starrett tools on the market. And whenever it still says “Made in the USA” means “with global materials”.
