It amazes me how a sports drink company can bring to the table the talent to dominate motorsports.

I'm still waiting for people to call attention to all the countries that have no or very low tariffs on goods imported from the US. Why are they quite? A) if those tariffs are high, it's anti-Trump politics or B) if those fariffs are low, they would crucify Trump with the facts Assuming the media would crucify Trump at every opportunity, the only conclusion is other countries have high tariffs on goods imported from US. If that is true, I say screw them with like tariffs OR negotiate and get them to lower their tariffs. In its benign form, a tariff is only as onerous as a Sales Tax. (Makes me wonder if a country imports, do they have to pay sales tax to the state of origin?)

TARIFFS: The real question which no one talks about is what are other country's tariffs on our exports. No one is talking about Trump's Chart showing the 90% tariff Vietnam has on our goods - only the 46% he just imposed on them.

Here in PA, the interstates have Mile Markers perfect for check odometer. To get more accuracy, can see odo error each mile, if it's off, the error will accumulate. A watch with a Chronograph is a ring of #'s that you use to calculate speed over a measured mile. You use the stop watch to time your mile and then read the speed off the chronograph ring. It was an Omega Speedmaster, the actual sub-model that went to the moon. I sold it for $3000 on CL - they were getting $5 on eBay mostly in Mexico !!! It's bringing over $12k now. I'd love to buy one of those high-end knockoffs of it as a memento but don't know how to find since illegal.

The problem with Trans is it's monetized.

Word This is just the beginning as the world transitions into "VR" where you can live your.... "dream," i.e. delusion. The birth rate is plummeting and people wonder why? Think Talos IV

Update on my 185r14's: I totally love them and can't wait to replace my rear 205/75r14's. Still need a 4.5" rim... NOTE: FYI: the wider 5.0" rim w/205's does not clear in the front. Rubs somewhere... have forgotten. I have 3 4.5s and 2 5.0s - want 4 4.5s so I can rotate.

That is some bad ass positive G's over a ridge!

Yep, Pratt & Whitney, formerly Pratt & Whitney Aircraft (they decided to change their name). Was sub sid of UTC which was bought out by Raytheon (at least P&W was, don't know about the rest of UTC which included Otis Elevator.) "Corporate" does not apply to P&W, Raytheon, etc. They are Defense Contractors which have different rules. That phone call may have come from Raytheon. But then, how in the world did a woman become head of P&W. That didn't work so well with HP. WTF. I'm showing my age. The older I get, the more I think this country needs a dose of "Taliban." You cannot let people "run wild."

Increased Volatility always precedes a stock reversal. I'd say political volatility just spiked, big time. I'm gonna sit back and watch the pendulum swing with a big bucket of popcorn. A TIDBIT: The president/CEO/whatever of Pratt & Whitney is a woman. I ran across one of her posts on LinkedIn and she used the woke trans mob suggestion that to support their pronoun quest, all people, especially straights (is that phobic nowadays, IDGAF) should put their pronouns in parenthesis after their name, e.g. Jane Doe (she/her) and so did she. Then something happened and she no longer did that. I suppose she got a phone call. What a fool.

These discussions are too cerebral for me. I'm going to make some wheelbarrow handles...

Who pays depends on the trade agreement. Anyone saying the importer always pays is biased.

It's like you get this old car where you can see cool it could be - first you have to unfuck everything.

I'd like anyone to come up with a good pick for President. I can't think of anyone. I once thought maybe it was time for another military man, a General: Colin Powell but eventually found out he was a puppet. Would Stormin' Norman have been a good one? Maybe since never heard from him again. I admit I'm crushin on Tulsi
