    Presidential Elections

    Kamala is more of the same as the past 4 years, and perhaps taxes on rich people. Trump is gonna fuck shit up with his tariffs...but I'm kinda interested to see what happens when China gets 60%. If that is even do able. And everyother country gets 10-20%. Although I'm not fond of trump letting...

    We're talking about hoses on the presidential election thread. It's FRIDAY so just fucking around. LOL I just put one of the many heads I own on the teemu hose....cause I bought so many hoses that sprung a leak in the past. Anyway $42.99 for the costco pocket hose 50FT. The TEEMU hose is...

    Teemu selling 75 ft hose for $17...while Home Depot sells 50ft hose for $36. Same quality....are you still gonna buy it from HD? The HD hose also made in China...but atleast HD gets a cut. I really should use 50ft hose from Teemu as comparison, but I recently bought the $17 one...and it's...

    Presidential Elections

    Back in 2018, I was buying product from China before the 25% steel tariff. After the Trump Tariff, my customer took my 25% price increase for 2 years...before they cancelled orders and moved it all away. Moving production is not easy and it took them 2 years to do it. Perhaps they thought Biden...

    If China gets the 60% tariff, I will increase my prices by 50% because I know my competition has to increase it by 60%. Why would I leave money on the table? This will inflate everyones prices...but I'll be richer..

    Another interesting thing about tariffs is a company can apply for exemptions. Say elon wants to sell his China made Tesla Y in USA. He can ask the US government for exemption from the 100% tariff. I'm not sure if Trump can just give it to him, but I'm sure it would make it easier.

    Tariffs cause inflation. I use to buy $500,000 of parts from China. After the 25% tariff Trump installed in 2018, my customer found a new supplier not in China, however, the part is now more expensive. China is the cheapest and most reliable manufacturer in the world. Putting a 60% tariff on...

    The Meadows, Lake Forest by Toll Brothers

    I like reading about racism and white flight and why there are too many asians in irvine. I think it should be discussed more...even if it blows up on the "meadows" thread. You don't know what will trigger a discussion. It's very "organic" "grassroots"...etc.

    I wonder why Fox disclosed the settlement amount when newsmax and CNN did not have to.

    FOX news having to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to Dominion due to FOX NEWS lies is factual. https://apnews.com/article/fox-news-dominion-lawsuit-trial-trump-2020-0ac71f75acfacc52ea80b3e747fb0afe The news you posted above is fake made up by a pillow guy and a conman. How do I know...

    Presidential Elections

    My biggest problem with the Repubs is they have to suck Donald's dick or they can get the fuck out. It's why Kizinger and Cheney left. I believe trump did some good things and some bad things while president, but I absolutely cannot vote for someone who requires 100% loyalty, and think he is...

    What do you think about Mark Gaetz voting against FEMA funding right before his constituents needed FEMA funding? https://www.newsweek.com/matt-gaetz-voted-against-fema-funding-before-hurricane-helene-hit-1961501

    Toyota moving to Texas

    I sent a bunch of work to Asia this year that use to be done here in California. Employees are expensive in the USA, and even more so in CA as it's one of the highest cost of living regions in the world. To live in CA takes a lot of money, and I suppose it's why Newsom signed into law the...

    CIELO VISTA @ YORBA LINDA

    Someone who was building an exposed wood patio in Yorba Linda told me the fire department made him pickle the exposed wooden beams in some fire resistant chemical before they would sign off. The wooden beams had to rest inside the pickle for a few months. It made the patio way more expensive.

    CIELO VISTA @ YORBA LINDA

    Yorba Linda has a hard time getting insurance because it's burned before. If you buy a house here, expect to pay $5,000 - $10,000/year for home owners insurance. Looking @ the development, it looks like it's in a burn zone.

    Economy and Climate Change

    I use to have a lawn and broken sprinklers that would cause all kinds of flying bugs in and around that area. After changing it to the fake grass and capping the water, I'm really happy with it. I thought the 110 degree weather we had 2 weeks ago may damage it, but it's still the same. If you...

    ICE or EV?

    I bought this hose for $17 off teemu it's 75 feet. The 50 feet one @ homedepot is $36. So far the teemu one is as good as the HD one....which means it'll probably develop a hole after about a year of use.
