Yeah Ive seen 20-25% range loss written in articles but Im curious to read a "real use" opinion too.

Rear wheel drive! Whoa. Never owned one since I moved to a ice/snow area. Im going to try to remember to circle back to this in the winter to ask you about battery performance.

Same. I click on every single free game I see, often with no intent to ever install it. I just cant resist "FREE" and adding them to my library.

Brilliant! To piggyback on that idea maybe the US could make something like 100 year loans. When you die, the property and loan balance go to your heirs to finish paying off, thereby providing a generational uplift at a low monthly cost. And if you dont have any heirs, the property is reclaimed and sold to the next person on the list. Win/win/win (homeowner/heirs/banks).

AND those sonsabitches expect people to repay the loan within 30 years! Thats completely unreasonable and should be at least doubled. Until we get some sweet UFH, my proposal would HALVE the monthly mortgage costs allowing more Americans to become homebuyers.

An 80's movie is full of 80's schlock? I never saw that coming. Iirc, the Navy immediately experienced a recruiting boost when the Top Gun was released.

My wife makes sausage gravy too; ground sausage, flour and milk, iirc. Salt and pepper to taste.

True that, the fatcats get you coming and going. Homes, medicine and some walking around cash are a lot more important. We need to focus on government/fatcat funded versions of those first, imo.

As Im sure youve deduced, two of the main ingredients of a Reuben are corned beef and sauerkraut, and your post reminded me of the coincidence of having just eaten one. If you ever cross paths with one I highly recommend it.

Luckily, since most of our posters will never own a home, they will never have to feel the indignant SLAP TO THEIR FACE when learning that the bank charges them interest on mortgages. Bullet dodged there but it doesnt solve the problem of our lack of UFH.

See! This is what Ive been saying. Poor and sick slaves have diminishing returns. If we had UBI, UHC, UFE and UFH we would be living in nirvana. Make it happen, captain.

Huh, I just had a Reuben last night for the first time in YEARS. It was delicious.

I jokingly asked if I could join the shop as the new runner, with intent to work my way into the union. But Im too old for that, its seriously a labor intensive job that requires a young and spry physique, but they are well compensated. I wish I would have thought of it 30 years ago.

Never took a single course, but the process was; start out as a "runner" aka tool monkey. Any jobsite needs anything? They deliver it. In doing so they learn some stuff via osmosis. The actual union test can be prepared for by purchasing the $15.00 pdf study guide. Then theres a physical test that aint no joke thats administered by some union approved medical facilities. Now heres where the "its not what you know, its who you know" comes in. In addition to the written/physical tests, it behooves you to have a "letter of intent to hire". It further behooves you if this letter is furnished by a union shop. But to be completely honest, they are begging for union plumbers in these parts. Normally, 200 new hires are accepted out of a pool of over 1000 applicants. But this year they actually had a commercial on tv advertising for applicants. And I was wrong, I asked them, and in 5 years they will be making more than me, on a per hour basis. Guess Ill score a good retirement home after all.

Thats how I remember the GI Bill working too. I think in 7 years my union plumber kid will be making more than me.

That sent me on a little bit of a search, and I dont even remember Fletch Lives. The reboot looks good though! 👍

Youre preaching to the choir here. We need UBI, UHC, UFE and UFH like yesterday!
