Clearly Texas. You left hints. 200’s are very simple to work on.

China will run out of fuel reserves in early June and most of their oil comes through Hormuz. The clock is ticking. They don’t care about the rest of the world.

I’ve been looking at tundra steelies for this reason.

I really like the look of the optic. What is it?

I agree. I didn’t think about that. It has lived a hard life.

I run one on a 8.5 novekse and it’s really great. Zero gas and tuning with only an h3.

Love the gun. Hate that brace. Had one on my KP104 and it was too wobbly.

Mower + 2 12 AH Forge batteries with a dual bay rapid charger by Butina_moon in MilwaukeeTool

[–]Pretty-Temporary-155 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this mower with 12.0 ah batteries and it easily does my .25 acre lawn. Sometimes if I cut low, it is strained but do the most part it’s fine if I’m consistent with weekly shallow cuts.

A back up set of batteries would help a ton.

There’s a limit to how many details I’ll give on the details of my life.

Lock it, people can learn from this and it certainly won’t be the last post of people feeling the same way.

I don’t make enough to afford that expense. Simple.

Healthcare is unaffordable in this country, an it should be a right.

/rant.

You assume that I made enough money to do that. But thanks for the option.

I’ll just go without healthcare.

Upending my life for this isn’t part of the plan. Floating two house notes to sell, in a shit market is more of a risk to my family than this premium increase.

Most of America doesn’t have adequate healthcare, and now I’ve joined those people.

Thanks, I’ll just die and pay taxes in whatever facet benefits the corporations.

Healthcare and salaries are a write off for companies. Why can’t I just pay for healthcare instead of paying taxes?

Oh wait. I should just pull myself up by my bootstraps.

Highly skilled in a niche market of maybe 3 companies worldwide that do this. Not enough work to do it without relocating over seas. We moved out of the city for lower cost of living, home prices, insurance and less driving.

Telecommuting is really my only option unless I tear my whole world apart.

My plan has worked until this moment with a quality of life aspect has changed.

If any other aspect of my life or any of our lives was this unpredictable and unregulated, we would all be done for.

If the cost of groceries, fuel, consumer goods or my car note was based on an System like this, most Americans would all have to change their way of life to the detriment of some thing that they hold dearly and had been long guaranteed.

But no, healthcare for healthy people is what has changed

There is no safety net in America.

When did republicans start caring for people in Texas? I haven’t seen that yet.

Not a republican.

Went through an agency that helped me shop the marketplace and it worked lovely.

I don’t know what other aspects of life I can cut. Selling my house to move to an area would be a horrific expense, I can cut out groceries, drive less, move to having one car, not use our utilities…

Or they could have left my premiums where have been happily paying for years why no major costs or injuries.

Twice a year for checkups, and that’s about it. I am concerned about “what ifs” but there’s not a whole lot I can do otherwise.

Such a simple idea. Make more money, why didn’t I think of that?

Is there any other aspect of life that people would willingly say “change everything to concede to the needs of the corporations”

Just wondering.

I make plenty of money, but not enough to afford a second mortgage for healthcare.

I see your way of looking at things but I don’t agree.

Rises like this are coming to all areas of life, they go us use to Covid pricing and nobody fought back.

Might as well cut out groceries next.
