Z = Russia

Elian Gonzalez notwithstanding, how many children did we steal in Cuba? How many Cuban churches destroyed? Rape camps? Torture? Conscripted criminals?

Dax, it’s my observation (and it’s fairly obvious so I don’t deserve any credit for this) that Maga does not care in the least about the cost of conflicts or anything like that, and instead is merely concerned with preventing the mixing of cultures (seal ourselves off from the world) and admires the bigotry of Russia.
So, let’s all just dispense with the rationalizations.

Both those and the three wheelers are very badass and I love them, but no dice with my wife. It's been a huge victory to get to the "two 4 wheelers" point.

« on: April 21, 2024, 07:34:57 PM »Ugh had to buy a new range. I'm excited about getting an induction one thoughWe just yanked the old school propane range out of our kitchen in MN and put a dish washer in its spot. Going to use a fancy counter top convection oven air fryer thing and a hot plate instead of the range. Good trade IMO.

Doesn’t it give you pause that so many from both sides supported this?
Pretty sad and pathetic

Need used ATV advice.
I am 100% purchasing TWO ATV’s later this spring to use in MN. The county just passed a new ordinance that extends the same road driving rights to ATV’s that UTV’s have….just have to move over to the side of the road. They already have trails next to the road almost everywhere due to everyone up there having ATV’s and snowmobiles.
These will be gateway ATV’s to hopefully a nice new(er) UTV in a couple years.
SD’s dad sounds like a Polaris man thru and thru, but for the older used purchases I see people saying get a Honda or Yamaha with a drive shaft instead of belt driven like Polaris and Artic Cat etc.
I am trying to not to go over $3K on each.

America’s allies and enemies have started to wonder if the U.S. is too consumed with infighting to defend itself and its interests. So put down a marker: Even a dysfunctional and narrowly divided Congress perceives the world’s dangers and has decided to meet the occasion.
The House of Representatives on Saturday passed separate bills to support Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. A fourth bill that cleared the House would seize frozen Russian sovereign assets and force a sale of the Chinese-controlled social media app TikTok, among other priorities.
All four bills cleared the House with more than 300 votes, albeit with shifting bipartisan coalitions. Support for partners in the Indo-Pacific attracted the highest tally at 385-34, a testament to the bipartisan consensus on the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party. Thirty-seven Democrats and 21 Republicans opposed weapons for Israel, and 112 Republicans voted against the Ukraine bill.

According to most reports that I have read, Israel’s big new supersonic air to ground missiles were not detected by Iran.
Iran decided not to retaliate, and I don’t think it was a coincidence.
Israel big dicked the crap out of Iran.

This one could get dicey for everyone. Iran isn’t going to like a direct attack on their own soil.

Also, in KS people can afford homes and cars. I realize that KS doesn’t represent the majority of the US tho.

« on: April 14, 2024, 07:02:43 PM »And what does military intervention and whatnot have to do with it? US companies can by TVs produced thru near slave labor (we shouldn’t), and sell them to americans either way.I’m not saying it’s right, but our standard of living (the prices we pay for things, the performance of our markets, etc.) depends upon our military power.
Also, the only reason we can spend on a deficit is because of our military might.
Anyone who wants to drastically slash our military and wall ourselves off from the world better not bitch when you cannot afford new cars and homes, and can’t retire before 70. Again, I’m not saying those things are required for a happy life, but I think loads of people on the left and libertarians are naive.
Most people can’t afford new cars or retire before 70 as it is my man. No one is suggesting walling the US off from the world. Buying and selling would be just fine without a massive worldwide military apparatus.
To answer the question, I think we need more info on how much trade prices (and tariffs) are impacted by our military protection or threat. Do we get better deals because we prevent piracy and quash rebellions against our favored provider of goods?
How much of our prices on shipping are inflicted by our military might? Do we get better prices?
If the above influenced prices and demand for goods purchased in dollars, and/or harmed our export ability, then would happen to the dollar if we had a 5% or 10% or 20% drop in global demand for dollars?
I suppose over time if the dollar was weak we’d build up our own manufacturing, but that might take a good chunk of years.
