    "No big deer in Florida". The hunt is on...

    Florida makes public land hunting complicated. I’ve quit hunting Florida for the most part and just drive to Georgia. I’d feel different if I lived in the panhandle like the OP but I don’t. The panhandle of Florida is referred to as LA for good reason. It’s not really like the rest of Florida in...

    Thoughts on clothes from China

    The Japanese certainly had that cultural attitude and it’s still lurking but their society was almost completely destroyed in WWII and has been reconstructed. The Chinese cultural attitudes towards others goes back a long way. At one point the Chinese were trading down the east afirican coast...

    Thoughts on clothes from China

    I think I need to clarify my post. I’m talking about Chinese culture and its racism and bigotry towards all others. I’m not talking about someone like boom who is American and appears or is of Chinese genetic origin. I’m talking about the societal beliefs of the Chinese people. Of course there...

    Thoughts on clothes from China

    You have obviously not dealt with many Chinese. They’re culturally supremest. They see themselves as the master race and all others as lessor people to be enslaved or made to pay tribute. They’re evil people and you should feel no sympathy for them or ever trust them. Think Nazis. They may be...

    Thoughts on clothes from China

    There is also going to be losers who will never benefit. They’re just too genetically disadvantaged to be educated enough for the jobs that will exist for humans. “the world needs ditch diggers too”...but it won’t !

    Thoughts on clothes from China

    Another thing that will drive down costs is automation. If you can use dirt cheap foreign labor there’s little incentive to invest in technology but if you can’t avoid higher labor costs the best way forward is to use less labor. Agriculture is one area that’s ripe for automation. Just a decade...

    Thoughts on clothes from China

    Except that the money would not leave the country and circulate here increasing wealth and buying power and the cost difference would fall dramatically as the manufacturing scale efficiencies would kick in as more factories are here. As the manufacturing has left the infrastructure costs are...

    Thoughts on clothes from China

    I believe that Kenton explored making First Lite in the USA and found there wasn’t the capacity available to have his stuff made here. It would take a company with deep pockets to build the factory and train the people. Then they have to compete with third world labor costs and safety standards...

    Thoughts on clothes from China

    I already do pay more and buy USA made clothes whenever there’s a viable choice. Darn Tough socks , Round House jeans I’m wearing. Some TShirts I bought not too long ago. I’d buy Sitka or First Lite more happily if it were made in the USA. So few choices left sadly.

    I’m in ! If there’s a silver lining with the Chinese virus it’s that I probably have a much better chance of drawing.

    We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem

    I wonder how many seniors will commit suicide because they’re now destitute from the collapsed stock market and are going to have to move of out their lifetime home and move to .gov housing and try to survive on SS ? My parents have bought into a lifetime estate assisted living community. It is...

    We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem

    The supply chains are breaking down. The Chinese restaurant I get takeout from is closing in the next day or two. It has been slow but she was staying open. Now she’s going to have to close because both of the Chinese restaurant supply houses are shutting down. There’s so few restaurants still...

    Naked hiker

    Is there a clear picture of his face ? If so post up a cropped picture of his face and I’m betting someone here has access to facial recognition software to run it through. It would be fun to trace him down and mail a photo along with a creepy message like “I’m watching you”.

    Fortunately or not I was born with nothing and still have almost all of it left. I don’t have near as far to fall as many here.

    Them Californians are going irrevocably change Montana very soon. Between the small native born Montana population and the large influx of wealthy Californian retirees the balance of power will shift before you know what happened. Laugh now but a similar issue is coming to your home.

    The assimilate and not try and change where you have moved to is the key. I’ve met few Yankees retired here that are humble and gracious enough to assimilate.
