Supposedly British tariffs on exiting the EU will be devastating. 

BTW, the DOW hit a new high today.

Yeah, Brexit will cause the end of the world, LMAO..

Not that the market reflects anything based in reality...

The mandated "minimum wage" is as anachronistic as trade unions.

I've heard more than one pilot say "you should get your last airplane first, and your last airplane will be a Bonanza".  But be warned, you'll pay.  You either pay out the nose for a new one or pay to fix and old one.  But you pay.

Buy an old one that someone else already paid to fix.

I wonder if our admin can tell us if these two accounts are using the same IP.

Look who's talking about sock puppets!

That happened to me on Wednesday. My daughter and I had driven 800+ miles from NM Wisconsin to western Nebraska. 8 miles from our destination, Barney Fife was traveling in the opposite direction, pulled over, did a U turn, and pulled me over. I had my wallet with my license and insurance card in my hands, with both hands on the wheel. He also asked for the registration, and my daughter pulled it out of the glove box.

I asked what he had me at, and he said "a little over 70."  The speed limit was 65. He gave me a warning.

Holy crap, risking life for a couple over the speed limit.  Cop's gotta ask himself one question: "Do I feel lucky?"

The officer screwed up too.

Right, but he'll get a pension and the other guy gets flowers.

I suspect that the training is putting too much emphasis on protecting the officer...

100% correct. They are "going home tonight" and they don't give a rip what they have to do to make that happen, up to and including blowing someone away. For the most part they face zero consequences, especially if there's no video. Even if found in the wrong, their employer pays the settlement, they have no skin in the game.

Because in the balance, LEOs usually don't kill white people because they're white.  They kill them because they believe they are an immediate danger.  There have been a string of killings of black men who were clearly not a danger to anyone.

It is difficult to get outraged when criminals act like criminals.  It is easy to become outraged with the State acts like a criminal.

FTFY

and IF you had the power to vaporize all of ISIS you would. Those are two very big ifs and neither is realistic or going to happen. ISIS members are also very strict Muslims, so there is no "Miller time" for them.

During WWI and WWII, there were American volunteers that traveled to Europe and Asia to fight in those wars and help other nations. There are other nations actively fighting ISIS right now over there. I suggest all the people that feel so strongly about ISIS volunteer and go over there and fight them. You first.

I find your moral equivalence disturbing.

What constitutes a successful business is at its heart really, really simple.  You wind up with more capital than you started with.  How you get there can bet a bit complicated.

Yes, it's simple:

True, but the results are real. The businesses and jobs created are real.

No we are not and in the 1960s we were not at war with Protestants.  But this president refuses to name radical Islamic terrorists for what they are, as if it will either appease them or make them go away by sticking his head in the sand.

Surely you recognize that radical fundamentalist Muslims want to do us harm?  That their long term goal is an Islamic kingdom which covers the entire world?

Racist!

Even if the guy was a Muslim (which he isn't),

How do you KNOW?
