back to Rants... I will never, ever vote R again in a national election unless the wall gets built. Ever. Why should I? And I could not give two $&*^$ who writes the check. 50k illegals are being apprehended by Border Patrol at the southwest border EVERY MONTH. That's likely less than 1/3 of the total illegal border crossers. The vast majority of those are being released into the interior with NTAs (for which they will never appear.) That means something like 150k illegals per month are entering the country. 1.8 million illegals entering via the US/MX border PER YEAR. This does not count illegals entering from Canada (much larger problem than anyone knows) and also doesn't count visa overstays. So closer to 4 million illegals per year. Illegals.* Not total immigrants; total ILLEGAL immigrants. This is insane. (all stats from cbp.gov, 2018) and for those who do care how the Wall gets funded, I have been advocating for this for years: just a 2% tax/fee whatever on person-person wire transfers out of the US would generate $2.7 billion/year. That's only .02 on every dollar. ($500+ million per year just from transfers to MX) 10 years later- $27 billion wall paid for/by foreigners. https://cis.org/North/Remittance-Fee-Oklahoma-Georgia-and-US-Congress https://money.cnn.com/2018/01/02/news/economy/mexico-remittances/index.html http://www.pewglobal.org/interactives/remittance-map/
can you all just quit Facebook and be done with it? https://www.politico.com/story/2018/12/19/democrats-facebook-privacy-rules-1039884 Every single thing you say and do on FB is tracked, archived, and sold. Everything. Even your PMs. In live time. Even when hidden. I would argue that there has been no single more destructive force on the planet in the past decade than FB. Worse than ISIS.
It ain't just FB... If you give up the illusion that you actually have any privacy, life is easier. Mobile phones; every free app on your phone; Digital beacons; connected devices (ring, nest, TVs, power meters, vehicles, etc); digital assistants (google assistant, Alexa, dot, bixby); every company you transact with, the govt and companies you dont even know of; the list goes on...Oh and your data is bought and sold by everyone (credit bureaus, axiom, google and a ton of others).
Idiots that post spam on discussion forums, you know it is not allowed, you know it will be removed why do it?
Most people who have facebook are so addicted (yes, actually addicted) to it that they couldn't care less that literally everything they post, like, comment on gets analyzed and sold. People were outraged with the Patriot Act saying it was a violation of privacy but don't give two sh*ts when all their info is being used right in front of their faces. I've never had facebook so I don't really understand how people are so addicted to it, but it's really sad .
Been done with FB for a couple of years now. The Onion did an article once about the CIA giving Zuckerberg an award for getting people to post their location, personal details, political and religious beliefs. It was probably the only real article The Onion ever did.
There is lots to rant about. Dow is at a low for 2018 Debt(budget year) was at it's highest level since 2012, despite a booming economy and low unemployment. Job Market is showing signs of slowing down Interest rates are ticking up. Ford and GM are closing plants. We still have no wall(Yes, I support a border wall) We were promised Healthcare that covered everyone and was cheap, we still have broke ass obama care
I think this is the first time Germ and I have ever 100% agreed on any set of political issues. The Swamp ought to be wetting their pants if 2 guys from completely different camps are in lockstep about so many issues.
Stocks are on sale Cut some entitlement programs Slowing down good, anyone who is not currently employed can not pass a drug test or has zero skills Low interest rates encourage people to take on more debt, pay as you go Ford and GM are going to stop making cars that nobody wants to buy I am pissed about the wall but the troops coming home from Syria can shore up border security I have excellent health insurance have never not had health insurance in my entire working career.
the co-founder of FB admitted in testimony that they intentionally constructed FB to basically be digital crack. True, but you can mitigate it. I'm done w/ Google and Amazon now as well. Waze, too.
the stock/interest thing- we still have entirely too much debt already; and it's harder to pay down with higher rates. And the FED raising rates is by far the driving force behind the NYSE freefall. Troops coming home from Syria are mostly SF/higher level operators and are not going to be sitting in the AZ desert handing out water jugs to a bunch of Hondos as they call BP to come get them. They'll be home for a couple months before we have to go send them to Yemen or some other s-hole to fight another proxy war against Iran. Not to say I am not happy we are pulling out of Syria.
I am having an issue so I can not post the link but the effort is well worth it to Youtube Norman Reedus First Ever Crossbow Training.
me or Sota? Sota's already 75% there. If me, no not yet. But I did catch myself lingering over pitchforks at Lowes the other day.

I hate Fed Ex will not use them, their ground service has to have the highest freight damage claim in the industry so I am not Ted like.
don't have the time right now, but I do watch the show and his handling of said crossbow is cringe-inducing.
