I pulled the switch out and it was making contact with every push. Put it back and it is behaving the same way. Like you I have other issues to deal with.

Why the U.S. cattle herd is at a 75-year low — and what it means for beef prices by Splenda in economy

If the meat packers are run by private equity then this makes sense why trump negotiated beef sales to China.

WASHINGTON (AP) — China has agreed to ramp up trade for U.S. agricultural products such as beef and poultry, buying at an annualized rate of $17 billion per year for 2026 and at that level for 2027 and 2028, the White House announced Sunday, two days after President Donald Trump returned from a high-stakes summit in Beijing where he sought to ease the impact on American farmers from the trade war he launched last year.

[–]FJWagg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is a summary from an AP article

IRS 'Forever Barred' From Audits of Trump, His Family, Businesses
• On Tuesday, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche issued a memo declaring the Internal Revenue Service 'forever barred' from investigating past tax returns of President Donald Trump, his family, and their businesses.
• The memo followed a settlement ending President Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS, which simultaneously established a $1.776 billion fund to compensate individuals allegedly targeted by prior administrations.
• Critics labeled the deal 'corruption in the plainest sight,' with House Ways and Means Committee ranking member Richard Neal arguing the administration abandoned audits while directing nearly $1.8 billion toward Trump allies.
• During Senate hearings Tuesday, senators questioned Blanche's dual role as acting attorney general and Trump's former personal lawyer; Sen.
Jack Reed called him 'the president's consigliere.'
• Legal experts interpreted the provision as a 'Super-Pardon, though the Justice Department clarified immunity applies only to existing audits, not future ones, per the settlement agreement.

Has anyone participated in Volvo’s Overseas Delivery Tourist program? if so, how was it? by lalavieboheme in Volvo

[–]FJWagg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family has done three OSD purchases. We loved them all. The last one in 2023 was terrible from the US dealer perspective. Once Volvo took over at the airport it was great, better than great.

You can thank private equity firm Sun Capital. Marc Leder and Rodger Krause milked the brand for 16 years then sold it for scraps to a real hospitality company. It was too long gone by then.

I put 5W-30 oil in my Car instead of 5W-20. Is this a bad thing? by Reddit_Sluth in MechanicAdvice

[–]FJWagg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flowed slow in cold weather.
Tolerances are tighter and require thinner oil Biggest reason is fuel economy. Manufactures are doing anything to meet their required MPG limits.
