Helping the common people

[Slyhunter]

That was what I was thinking also. But there is a push in congress to make us buy only Parts by the big auto and have repairs made by big auto only at their prices. I am not sure if it is still being considered. I found both Republicans and Democrats are for it and against it.

Let's make all games playable by computer. It's unfair we have to buy a console for each set of games to play.

Wrong

entiitlements have EVERYTHING To do witht he working people being robbed to support others.

Thet is precisely how they fund themselves

No they don't, but if it makes you feel better to believe that nonsense, go right ahead. The US Federal Government is the exclusive issuer of the USD, hence it never runs out of dollars. It doesn't rely on anyone to provide it with dollars, it creates dollars ex-nihilo. The reason you and I have to work and pay into Social Security, is because when we are working, we're producing goods and services, and that is what allows those who are retired to purchase stuff, with the money they get from the goverment. We produce goods and services, and the elderly who get a pension, are able to spend that money on the products they consume.

Our GDP is over 24 trillion dollars, so we're way ahead of the federal budget, there's no danger of having too much money chasing after too few goods and services. Your silly fearmongering stems from your willful ignorance and disregard for the facts. The US will never go insolvent. Watch Greenspan school Paul Ryan on the issue of Social Security solvency:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I get the feeling that you don't care about anyone but yourself. I like you have no problem with affording car repairs; I'm fortunate enough to have enough money that's not a big deal, but they're members of my family and clan that struggle to make ends meet from day-to-day month to month. I would like to see things be better for them.

Also, standardization of auto parts would not necessarily reduce the quality of cars; why would you think it would? And you could still buy luxury cars that the system did not apply to, or you could travel to a foreign country and buy a car there and ship it to the US, It sounds like to me that price is no obstacle for you.

Instead of creating another giant government bureaucracy how about your clan just gets better jobs?

Get a better master and work hard to make him richer? Your master has his own government, and he doesn't hold elections. Employers run the workplace like totalitarian regimes and you're OK with that, because you're either a brainwashed working-class person, groveling at the feet of his capitalist master, or a capitalist employer (i.e. exploiter), clutching his pearls. If I can choose my boss, it would be one who holds elections, allowing me to elect my managers/leaders. Only accountable leaders, elected by workers, should lead/govern.

Capitalism is mass production for a profit, at the cost of human labor. For example, you produce $500 daily for your employer i.e. exploiter/master, and he or she gives you $150, minus taxes, social security, medical insurance..etc. You end up bringing home $95 per shift. Capitalism is production for a profit at the expense of human labor.

Property rights aren't equivalent or synonymous with capitalism, because in socialism people also have property rights. The question is, what type of property are you referring to? There's private property vs personal property. Private property is that which is used to exploit others for a profit. Personal property is for personal use, in other words, it's not to exploit anyone else for monetary gain, i.e. profit. Your house, your plot of land where you grow your vegetables and raise chickens, personal computer, vehicle, gun collection, smartphone, toothbrush, that's personal property. In socialism, you have more of a right to your personal property, than under capitalism. What you don't have a right to in socialism, is private property. Get it?

In socialism, you don't pay property taxes, and have a human right (you were born with the right) to housing and your personal property in general. Notice how corporations now make you "log in" to use their product, or they force you to buy all of the coffee cartridges from them, or they don't allow you to repair your tractor, you're forced to hire an "approved", certified mechanic within their network or you lose certain valuable features in your tractor and all warranties and your ability to get full coverage for your equipment. You buy the product with your hard-earned money, but you don't own it. The company still has control over the damn product you bought and is monitoring you 24/7, sending usage data to the company.

No it is not,

Capitalism is simply private property, Many capitalist ventures do not involve mass production. Not all forms of economic activity involves employees.

Under socialism people have no property rights. The state may now own ALL property under socialism but it does sieze and take any private property which is ARBITRARILY deemed valuable.

Personal property IS private property. Any private property which is capable of making profit for the owner is considered illegal under soclialism. That includes cars bicycles computers cameras and anything that someone can make a profit with. Which is virtually EVERYTHING. Since any land or privately owned real estate is illegal under socialsm all indiduals have to be FORCIBLY relocated into state owned communes where NO personal property of any kind is permitted.

That is the truth of socialism and you are clearly ignorant about the system you defend. Under socialism you do not pay taxes because you are property of the state and your labor is taken by force or coercion by the state and you have no money to pay with. In other words you are a slave.

You have no right to housing or food or anything else under socialism you are issued such things UNLESS you refuse to act , work think and behave as the state demands.

These are all facts which is why every socialist nationis a failure and comunist states are worse with genocide and poverty worse than any nation in history

Socialism is ROOTED in evil by design

Employers are not masters. MAsters by definition OWN people

Employees and employers have a voluuntary agreement.

You are the brainwashed idiot, the average emoloyee is not.

Yes they do no matter how much you deny that simple fact


Your absolute denial of fact is beyond shocking it is gross.

The government creates no dollars it creates wealth which taxes are about

Further thoughts: What if the government decreed that all new vehicles would be EVs? Do you support that kind of power in our government?

Government and mandate are two terms that should give great pause whenever they're invoked together.

Better public transit.

eeyew...

Anyway. Here's a question for the group. Who here has ever had to fabricate their own unobtanium parts? I've had to do it at least a few times.

I have had to go to junk yards to find used parts for old cars. There are plenty of wrecks with the way people drive today.

Most people would not work if we provided them everything you people think should be Human Rights. I, myself, would've spent my life playing RPG games had my Student Loan and Grants not run out. I find my next job because I am terrified of being homeless, and later in life because I was terrified of not supporting my family.

I miss doing that. For any cars I'd need a junkyard for, there's none around with those cars. Now there are salvage yards who do, but they're specialized salvage yards largely dealing with specific cars. And they're scattered about the country and just nothing really local.

So I lose out on getting to go to the junkyard and have to order online where some other cat pulls the part and ships it to me.

Only thing about the junkyards is you have to watch out for spiders and snakes and whatever other critters are tucked up in there some place. Black widows and recluse spiders especially.

Other than that, it's a good afternoon tinkering around.

I had a Ford Mustang 67 or 69 that I couldn't find a Manifold for.

Ecklers makes it their business to sell to customers with suppliers all over the country, including fabricators. If there is a demand, they have it.

Yeah, I know about Ecklers. And all of the other ones like em.

I like Zip Corvette for aftermarket parts. Even though most of em are still imported and half the quality of used OEM. Especially sensors, switches and anything with solder.

I did buy weatherstrip from Ecklers but it was Chinese trash. Wasn't even real rubber. And it didn't fit right and leaked.

A lot of those popular vendors are just like Walmart.

So I found an American company who specializes in specific cars and who makes it right and from real rubber that doesn't spit everywhere.

It was perfect.


From their web site..

American Made, and it Shows!​

Before investing in weatherstripping for your American Classic, take the time to ensure it is being manufactured in the U.S.A.

Other companies are marketing "OEM compliant" latex weatherstripping, manufactured over-seas. It may look good at first glance, but the quality and durability are not up to the standard of EPDM sponge.

We are proud of our "Made in Michigan" brand
