mowerman Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 All right our Fedex insurance was fabulous a few years back but now it’s the same old thing pay a lot more premiums and get a lot less…. Not sure what’s up with that but just another reason I say the system doesn’t care about you . Period. Then after retirement they’re hoping you just croak . Glad you’re happy with your policy that’s excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davehummell Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 About 20 years ago I competed in BR-50 and a box of 50 twenty two shells cost me about 14.00. It was rather expensive shooting my custom made 308 Bear that used 340 Weatherby casings that was for 1,000 yard competition my loads were 3,600 fps with a 240 grain boat tail. I also competed in black powder 300 yard bench rest using a Shilow open sight 45/70 I molded my own tips and used black powder. We also competed with standing shot at a small running metal target with small bore rifles and large bore rifles great fun and once a year I went with my friend and we shot at a van with our automatic weapons we had 30 cal. belt feeds I shot over 5,000 rounds at that shoot you should of seen that van when about 50 guys got done with shooting at it. My best shot was .046 off dead center at 1,000 yards and the best target was .200 of dead center and a 5 inch 10 shot group. I did some 50 yard off hand bullseye using my S&W model 41 and I did some 100 yard bullseye with a 22 cal. rifle was great fun now I can't see the sights. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember .79c 50 rd. boxes of .22 LR, Federal ammo,, .99c for Winchester x... at Trust Worthy hardware store in Gray Maine, ,,,, now, almost $7.00/box and it's CCI at best.. crazy... jojo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tenfive0 Posted March 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2022 No one should be surprised. At least I'm not. I knew what we were getting with Obama and sleepy Joe. They can't get away with taking away our guns. You just won't be able to afford ammunition. They can't ban internal combustion engines. You just won't be able to afford to buy fuel. A direct quote from Joe Biden: "The only thing worse than a poorly planned intentional war is an unplanned unintentional war." WAKE UP. It is all part of the plan. The globalist new world order. It is all a diversion. The dumbing down of the American society. They want everyone living in fear, taking away our liberties and freedoms. They are making housing and food unaffordable. They don't want any independent thinking. They want total control of our lives and people 100% dependent on a government subsistence. They'll give you just enough to survive. If you descent they'll take away the handouts and leave you to die. Russia and China are the model societies. WAKE UP. It's all part of the plan hoping no one in this country notices what they're up to. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is our government making it hard for us to be "Independent" but since Obama, if not since the mid '60's, they have been building a 'race war' pitting black against white... when all hell breaks loose, how will we know who is our side? just one of my crazy thoughts... jojo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 67RModel Posted March 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2022 The United States is following the same trajectory as the previous two world orders have: the British Empire and Dutch Empire respectively. We are now on the downward spiral to whatever catalyzing event will allow a new world order (China) to take over. For the US it was World War Two. Prior to WWII the dominant global power was the British Empire. They were very imperialistic and had colonies all over the world. The reserve currency for international trade was the British Pound and for many years had the most powerful army and naval fleet. Before them it was the Dutch Empire for the same reasons. The United States came out of WWII unscathed domestically with massive manufacturing capabilities ramped up from wartime production. The rest of the developed world was destroyed and we were here to supply everything to everyone. The US negotiated very favorable post war treaties and extracted an enormous amount of wealth from Europe when we left. We snatched the world power "title" from the British and the world's reserve currency has been the US Dollar ever since. We quickly became the most powerful and wealth country in the history of humanity. Unfortunately we have rested on our laurels and have been slowly but surely giving up our status ever since. The US Dollar has been a fiat currency for decades and the only reason it is still the World's reserve currency is because the US Military is powerful enough to keep it that way. Foreign investors are also comfortable with the political reliability and stableness the US enjoys too. I don't see it as some big government conspiracy stripping us of our rights per se. That is just a symptom of the real problem. The real problem is your average "Johnny lunch bucket" American voting this way (from town mayors to The President) and being OK with the outcome, giving his money to the wrong interests, and not being educated enough in history, finance, economics, and science to a degree. Life has become too easy, too comfortable, and too detached from reality in this country. Too many people over the years were/are willing to give up long term stability and prosperity for short term profits. Too much FYIGM (f**k you I got mine) mentality, and too much resentment for neighbors and fellow mankind. The onus is on the citizens. The poor quality politicians are just a product of the people who elect them. Unfavorable policies follow in the wake of poor quality politicians. Everything being complained about in this forum thread could be reversed but sadly will not because Americans are too self absorbed to pull their heads out of the sand and do anything meaningful because it might disrupt their cushy and comfortable lives. Right now China is on the rise and making the correct decisions to become the next global order but it is not certain to happen that way though. It will probably take a war to happen as the previous three iterations of this process happened because of wars so there is a pattern there. China has a lot of internal problems though to overcome. For instance their years of the one child policy has left a big gap in their ability to continue the path they are on. On the other hand I don't see any way for the US to get out from under the amount of debt its in with China without fighting and winning a war against them........ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 a bank teller when asked of coin shortage , stated " there is none, the government started it". so many are in debt with plastic and when the paper dollar is worthless (like now ). no one will have coin to survive. ever stop and think of the motive behind things like james bond movies? NOT money the bad guy wants world power. check the details of the terminator movie. two came back in time because the world was a cluster f mess . sounds a little extreme (maybe ). for my grand children i feel sorry. notice how the virus is slowly coming back in the news! physer wants more of the billions of $$$ . now their saying a second dose is needed. if (when) the end shows up ; i want to be sitting in a beautiful (green dash) DM800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, people vote for "what is good for ME, right NOW" and not what is best for the country. They vote for whoever is promising them the most free stuff at the moment, never thinking of the consequences of "free stuff", that's not really free at all.

Joey Mack Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 so true OD.. I didnt agree with President Trump on everything, nor did I like his Nasty ways towards some people, even some Democrats, but in my mind, He had the interest of the country in his heart and mind. That is what I liked.. I just spent $60.00 for diesel since yesterday. I only grossed about $350.00 due to parts issues and bad weather.. the extra $25.00 I spent isn't much, but it is still not in my pocket.. I cry inside for the guys that have (2) 100+ gallon fuel tanks to fill every few days. I guess I dont really have a point, other than, the effects of our current issue is relative to each of us, weather I spend 35 percent more for fuel, to fill my Isuzu, or you guys fill youre Macks..
