Do not need to understand. It is real with real ability to build brands, sway opinions and make lots of money for a few in the same way a small percent of actors/musicians/athletes earn millions of dollars a year.
You can personally ignore social media and dislike its impact but you can’t wish...
If I wanted to go buy big in Space X or OpenAI or Anthropic but the big ol’ buckets of stocks (VTI, VOO, VT, … ) are not having to blindly pay “market” to scoop up shares from a small float on Day 1 of “shiny new” IPO then I am having to sell existing holdings that are no shinier and special...
Welcome from Arizona and Colorado. I am retired and split time between two states.
I would suggest you look into hunting pronghorn in Wyoming. Pronghorn are quite striking if were successful on a hunt and decided to shoulder mount the buck. As with many of the states that have several varieties...
Indeed, Joe Sixpack had better live in a state with everything he intends to ever hunt or will have a rough time playing the $1000 and up non-resident bull elk tag game plus play the points game and all the fees to enter those draws.
Non-resident big game hunting is not really for the person...
The beauty of a President handing out pardons and other "get out of jail" cards is this only covers Federal matters. If a state, say New York, brings state charges against someone, even someone proudly holding up a purty piece of paper with DJT scribbled EKG-style on it, then that court case can...
Turned 60 as Covid shut down gyms in my state. Have an inherited chronic disease that usually ends badly in your 50s but have had over 500 blood draws so mostly deal with constant anemia which is not good for thin air hunts.
A mountain goat hunt during Covid wiped me out including my minimal...
$5 gas is hitting a lot of blue collar types, workers and employers, that are driving those big ol’ vehicles around to spin wrenches and fix things. Farmers use a lot of diesel and fertilizer.
I rarely see huge flags flapping from the back of lifted trucks honking their horns and rolling coal...
Sounds like Dan’s pops lived a big life where traveled afar, had experiences near and far, plus spent time with his children and their friends. That should be celebrated. Hurts to see the end game play out. Prayers for peace and comfort for everyone.
I watched my father ebb into being...
When Dear Leader looked us in the eye he promised $2 gas. He delivered 3x the promise in less than half his term!!! $6 for the win. Whiners gonna whine.
No new wars and delivered on that promise, obviously. Now there are now only peace-keeping missions such as the minor Iran saber rattling...
The ballroom was to be paid for privately and be Trump's "gift" (well,...donors paid but whatevs, slap a gold-leaf name on the ballroom and Arc de Whatevs and some plane and a caberet hall, go for it) to America and Liberace's ghost with all the gold leaf never gathered in one spot previously...
Here is my farm boy take. I would say coyotes adapt to enough types of habitat including suburban areas that no amount of hunting will cause the population to collapse.
Coyotes can have large litters only if females are healthy. Big litters can only survive if plenty of prey, habitat and...
I support donating a tag to be reassigned to a terminal youth, a vet or disabled person. Obviously, all persons with those classifications can also apply in the same general draw I do and draw a tag that I am also trying to draw.
I support in-season accommodations for disabled such as a...
Growing up in a small town int he 1960s, You Never Even Called Me By My Name rang of truth rather than parody. I must have been about 14 when first heard this song. Became a favorite song to erupt at drinking parties beyond where the blacktop ended just over the flood levee along the river's...
E-Plus strips out tags for landowners from the approved total tags for a species before the remaining tags are then split into resident, non-resident and guided buckets, yes? That implies the potential 10% allotment for non-residents is actually less than 10% of total approved tags. Any idea...
Daycare might erase much of the second wage earner but taxes will never on its own.
Buddy of mine had his wife stay at home with first kid then the second kid arrived before spouse returned to work. Okay, once the second kid hits school age will go back to work. Buddy drops and flops at family...
I have a theory on why the market since 2010 has not seen a 10% pullback which stagnated for a year or more before reaching a new high.
My grandfather bought stocks starting just after WW2. He bought stocks for the next 55 years before he died. I think he had to buy in 100 share blocks until...
Cutting the Fed rate during this inflationary cycle is a novel approach that goes against what adults do when in charge.
The U.S. dollars has lost 9% of value since Trump took the oath of office in January 2025. Inflation combined with our rising deficit will erode the USD value more against a...
Arizona allows a former resident already holding a Lifetime AZ hunting license to apply in the AZ Resident tag pool in the draw. You pay non-resident fees and tag costs. You are not claiming to still be a resident of AZ. So, not a Lacey violation.
In fact, I moved to Arizona from another state...
NM allows multiple choices per species when you apply. If your application is drawn for consideration then your 1st choice is considered then your 2nd, etc, until you are awarded a tag or all your choices had zero tags to award to you.
This allows you to put your first choice as a very...
I grew up in a mostly lower middle class to poor portion of rural Midwest in the 1960s/70s. Lots of old vehicles driven by those families when I was a kid. Most kids wore hand-me-downs. Over half were on subsidized school lunches. A handful of town folk had a very nice sedan in the garage but...
