Brett lives about 5 minutes from me. That property is well kept and the frontage area of the property along 98 probably cost more than most of our homes on here. It's pretty impressive. We are certainly not rural either. In fact, I wish we were further away from Hattiesburg. Seems Brett and I are getting out of here....we're gone next year. Headed south.

Side note, years ago (early-mid 1990s) Brett and I almost got in a fight in the Varsity in Baton Rouge. We were both drunk and his dumbass ran into me as he was coming down the stairs and I was headed up. We exchanged words but he thought better of it. He's not very big and I was pretty stout at that point. :lol: Probably would have been a good fight.

Why do you think Trump took all countries to task at once. So chini cant set up shop in other countries and bypass the tariffs like they did with steel to canada.

:lol: So, you don't think China companies are moving manufacturing to other countries? This has to be a joke. You're naive.

Short term = some prices increased offset by tax cuts.

Any tax cuts won’t fully cover the current tariff percentages on products from China. Products prices will jump 25% minimum….probably more.

Long term = equals more jobs and more competition within the ecosystem and thus prices drop.

---

Those jobs and competition won’t be located in the US for products made in China. Other countries will undercut US manufacturing costs just as China has.

We don’t win. We get price increases from China or another country that can’t manufacture as the same low costs. Anyone thinking our costs as consumers will come down at some point is foolish. Never happens…still waiting on those post-COVID prices to drop.

Are you scared or something??

Scared? Are you a 5 year old kid? I’m an adult that likes to keep the majority of my income not pass it on to product price increases.

BTW... China just rolled back tariffs.

BTW…see my previous post regarding a deal within days. I’m way ahead of you. More to come.

They're not negotiating because a deal is probably already done. Words folks. Deal coming in a matter of days....just watch. 10-15%

Nah…we love music. We especially love live music. I’ve seen several thousand bands. My wife has seen several hundred. I’ve seen everyone from the Sex Pistols, BB King, The Cure, James Brown, Hall and Oates, the Cult, Bad Brains and everything in between. Many of them I’ve seen a lot of times. I’ve seen super obscure bands such as the Bears. I have witnessed my share of shitty shows, too. The Smashing Pumpkins suck live. Heart rocks live. John Cougar sucks live. Duran Duran is spectacular live as is Muse. Depeche Mode is always great. At one point in my life I was seeing several shows a week and hundreds per year. Most were free entry for me. There’s nothing better than music and nothing better than a great live show. And yes, ticket prices have gotten pretty steep. Just paid over $900 for two NIN tickets. However, bands such as the Reverend Horton Heat can still be seen for less than $30. Both are great live.

I’ll take live music over live sports every day (love both though.) We’ll have music on at our house instead of crappy all day news stations but that’s our preference and how we approach life. Choose your own path.

ETA…another band that is really really good live is the FIXX. They’re still rocking the scene. If you get the chance to catch them touring, go see them. Inexpensive fantastic show. DO NOT go see Men at Work….horrible live show.

That clip is ancient.

Hey folks -- found the intern / nurse / doctor / pharm rep who is vaxxed and triple boosted. And who is still fooled by "The $cience," Big Pharm, muh-Radiology Reports, $urgeons, and the Ho$pitals that can't wait to remove body part$ and were injecting anything that moved while taking the $36k for each reported "Covid Death". Nearly everything "healthy" we've been told by these frauds is inverted. 2020-2021 proved who and what they are. Maybe you should look into "Rockefeller Medicine" and its agenda, and wake up to reality before Booster #4.

---

Nope…I’m an unvaxxed HVAC guy that’s unafraid of doctors. Nice try though moron. Your posts tells me everything I need to know about you. Stand up straight on that soapbox baw! Shout it to the sky! Next you’ll be complaining about your insurance not covering you for your new found medical condition that could have been prevented with regular doctor visits. I know guys like you. I had a friend die young from colon cancer. Totally preventable BUT THEM DAMN DOCTOR$ as you say. Wouldn’t go to the doctor because, well, you know…doctors is bad man. Keep screaming baw…keep screaming it!

Anybody still trust Big Pharm? Anybody still trust Hospitals & the Med industry? Anybody still trust "studies"? Anybody still kneel before "The Science"? The "Covid" and (not a) Vax debacle of 2020-2021 has managed to expose and demolish all trust in the entire fraudulent Rockefeller Medicine Complex for thinking people.

---

Found the guy that will die early because he doesn’t trust the medical folks. Won’t get a colonoscopy, won’t get a yearly physical, won’t get his broken down back examined, and on and on. If alive, he’ll be the guy hobbling around the office in his 60’s hating on the medical folks….even though he never visits them. Just their existence puts him in pain.

Wrong. One vehicle delivers multiple packages. If each of those households did not have delivery they would have to get in their vehicles and drive to the store to purchase the item. That would increase traffic.

---

Actually, I'm correct. Your single item purchase creates a delivery that wasn't on the road before. In the past, when you went to the store you'd buy multiple items on one trip...not just one item. However, you haven't stopped going to the local stores either. I still go to the store. I buy things online that I can't get locally or I find it less expensive....or just something I didn't need in the first place. But, we still go to local stores.
