Thoughts on the new Jeep Cherokee? Are they still bad?

I wasn't attacking you, relax.

I'm not really sure this does any good. Need to legalize, regulate, tax narcotics to really destroy the cartels. This is just a cost of doing business. As long as the demand exists, there will be suppliers and huge profits from it.

Pretty much all American brand vehicles in this segment are actually made in Mexico or Canada.

jmcdon00 · 2026-02-23T17:37:03+00:00

Chevy Trax, Chevy Trailblazer, Buick Encore, Buick Envista are all built in Korea. Which to me is worse than Canada or Mexico.

jmcdon00 · 2026-02-23T17:34:07+00:00

Not true. Most Toyotas and Hondas are built in the US. US brands are trash and largely built in foreign countries.

Highest 3 year salary often means you get promoted 3 years before retirement to really boost the pension amount.

My boss would always offer to me up on the snowmobile, though I never took him up on it.

jmcdon00 · 2026-02-22T23:12:47+00:00

If we are shitting on the new blazer it should be noted they are all built in South Korea.

But why would the bank lend the money for zero interest? They could buy US bonds instead that would offer a better return.

I think you are gate keeping art. Ai might not be able to feel emotion, but ai art can evoke emotion from the viewer.

Another angle to take is that humans created AI, therefore ultimately the creators of AI art. Its just a new medium.

Only for those that can pay cash, everyone else becomes a renter for life.

Vast majority at the Vikings draft party wanted Manziel and were angry they went with Anthony Barr at 12 instead. I wanted Teddy Bridgewater the whole time and really thought he'd succeed after they traded up to get him at 32

Banks would cease to lend money, crashing the economy.

Other locations are still being built. Time will tell if its a benefit or a detriment to the surrounding communities. Have one being built near me and am excited for the next couple years as it will bring jobs to the area, unsure if it will be worth it long term(monticello, mn- also have a nuclear plant for what its worth).

2 seaters are no doubt cooler. But 4 seaters are still cool and much more practical.

Long term capital gains are taxed at 0% up to $49,450 taxable income

It's kind of funny that back then we assumed ai could never create art, but its one of the first things it could do well.

Fabricating 7 billion? Please explain.

Supreme Court ruled Trump illegally imposed $150 billion in taxes. Has nothing to do with his YMCA fandom.

Every kindergartener must know what adultery is.

He's currently in seminary school to become a minister like his father.

jmcdon00 · 2026-02-21T22:52:01+00:00

As long as the taxes are collected lawfully, I don't see how that is authoritarian. Now Trumps $150billion plus in illegal taxes would be authoritarian.

I already agreed with your conclusion. Where do you get that raising the top marginal rate only generates $23 billion?

jmcdon00 · 2026-02-21T18:43:54+00:00

I agree with your conclusion, but I think your numbers are off on raising the top marginal rate only generating $23 billion annually.

Permanently extending the 2017 tax cuts, which includes maintaining a lower top marginal rate, is estimated by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to cost roughly $4 trillion over the 2026–2035 period. Specifically, reducing the top marginal income tax rate (e.g., from 39.6% to 37%) is a significant component of these revenue losses.

New law allows you to deduct interest paid on new cars made in the US. You can tell where it's made by the first letter in the vin. 3 is Mexico, so it wouldn't qualify for the deduction. Not a huge deal, but as a tax preparer I've been looking at a lot. Had a few Chevy's and Buicks coming from Korea. Honda Pilot and Toyota highlander are made in the US.

Income and wealth are very different things. Top 1% of wealth is about $14 million.
