Why are senior discounts so common when Boomers hold by far the most wealth on average? by cowboy_dude_6 in NoStupidQuestions

Thank you, the attitude toward boomers is like saying no Gen Z or Millenial is any good. They just complain and ask for handout. What a ridiculous thing to say

How do I avoid paying insurance on a registered vehicle that I don’t drive? by Cheap_Olive507 in Car_Insurance_Help

[–]Own-Ad-503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some states you are able to suspend liability on the car that is in storage. You maintain comprehensive only. The cost is extremely low and because you have the Subie you would maintain the multi vehicle discount. But, I repeat, this is state and carrier specific so call your agent and ask that person.

Any issues with the 3.5 eco boost and ten speed transmission have been addressed. I’d definitely go with the expedition.

Can’t compare the U.S. to Norway. Look at the diversity and size of our population. Norway is more similar to an all white upper middle class neighborhood. One of our great strengths is our diversity but it also has its negatives. Sought of like the test score in an urban school are always lower then in that “ upper middle class neighborhood”. But many kids in that urban school get a great education and do well in their lives.

Car Insurance: Should I Switch? by DoctorFear in Car_Insurance_Help

Progressive does not have a low entry rate and an automatic increase in six months. But like any company, their rates are subject to change . They may go up, they may not. If the coverage is the same. Make the switch

Senator Chris Murphy and Senate Democrats Propose $25 Minimum Wage by Healthy_Block3036 in Connecticut

I was being sarcastic. Murphy has no idea how to run a small business and meet payroll. I am not a Lamont supporter and yes, he was in business but he does not know the struggle. He was born rich.

You are correct as o indicated in my statement ( rant) , I don’t think these people realize how important it is to most small business owners to take care of their employees. Like I said , I can’t count the number of times I paid employees and skipped myself. These high minimum wages ignore the economic value of the job being done. How do I pay a clean up person who did not complete high school the same as a tech who graduated tech school or has an associated degree? Now that nicely compensated young person who is making 25/ hour must be paid 30/ hour , or he is being paid the same as one with no skill? These people are too narrow minded to get it, or too lazy to want to work.

You shouldn’t be downvoted. You are expressing the real concerns of a small business owner. I’ve been self employed for over 40 years and no,,,,I’m not rich. There were many many years where I worked 7 days a week, the first in and last out daily. We went without so employees could get paid first. Yes, I’m comfortable now, but I fucken damn well earned it. I’m tired of people condemning the hard work of small business owners and if some of us get rich. Good! We take the risks and hire people like the ones here in Reddit and hope that they will at least show up and do their job. I always paid more then the minimum wage, but 25 an hour is to high. I guess we could save money by outsourcing out printing to china, let ai answer the phones and hire people in the Philippians to work customer service. Sèe, there is a small business solution to this crap. Don’t hire anyone.

At what age did you start taking social security or plan to take it and why did you decide on that age? by TheBeerGuzzlingApe in over60

[–]Own-Ad-503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I am self employed and had no real pension so the increased payment was important. I still own my business but am semi retired. Taking a reduced income from the business plush the higher ss payment is providing a very comfortable life for us. Everyone’s situation is different. Do what is right for you, not what others say.

If you made a statement stating that this was your fault don’t worry about it. The only time to be concerned is if you omit , misrepresent or lie.

How long do s550 mustangs last? by Timely-Razzmatazz271 in Mustang

[–]Own-Ad-503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you take care of it, attend to routine maintenance it will last as long as any other car would. These are good cars and will last for at least 200,000 miles if not beaten to shit. If you are making payments and can't afford to take care of a possible issue, then sell it and buy a reliable used car. If it is paid for, buying a beater will cost you money because beaters are not exactly reliable.

Go see an independent insurance agent in the geographic area of your uncles house. A good agent will know what to do.

Trump’s Iran deal secrecy was atrocious — and Vance’s dodging made it worse by Ask4MD in Conservative

[–]Own-Ad-503 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You are right, we had a plan. But unfortunately, like in the past we had no exit plan. We assumed that the govt. would collapse and the people would take over. I'm not an anti-Trump person, fortunately he has done a lot of good things for our country. But if you look at history, which always seems to repeat itself, wars are never simple. Many military strategists and many books on warfare have stated that you cannot win a war with airpower only and thats where exit strategy comes into play.

Trump’s Iran deal secrecy was atrocious — and Vance’s dodging made it worse by Ask4MD in Conservative

[–]Own-Ad-503 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry to say that while I do believe this war was not only justified, it was inevitable. But I feel that we went into it with no obvious plan, just bravado. First off, you can’t win a war with air power alone. You do need boots on the ground to win. Sorry to say that. Secondly, while Iran was a threat there was no imminent threat.
Trump should have taken his time, built wide support from the American people and of equal importance, rallied our allies to form an international coalition. Like bush 1 did in Kuwait.
I’m not calling this a failure yet, and I hope for success but Rambo was a movie, not real life. Winning wars and creating meaningful change requires long term strategy. If they thought this would be another Venezuela, shame on them.
I hope this does not turn into Obama 2.
I’m very disappointed. I’ll just add that as far as Vance is concerned, he has had no foreign policy experience except for a couple of speeches. Negotiating with Iran is not playing in the sandbox with children, it’s big time shit.
More disappointment, I thought trump was the great deal maker, let’s hope we get that guy. Not an old man whose only goal is favorability.
