The Harris plan to punish big business for price gouging.

Once again, those who broke it have the solution to fix it.

It’s mind-boggling how people don’t tie these things together


They created the housing bubble and the market collapse.

They create the Covid inflation and where we’re at now, and their answer is to punish the victims who are dealing with high prices of materials.

This could be the most damaging example of government incompetence and meddling that I’ve seen yet in my life. if they’re able to pull this off, it will wreck the economy for decades. Or forever.

For a long time, I was a strict adherent to Hanlon's Razor. No more.

I love adages like that. We used to have one that read.

“There are very few problems that can’t be solved with a suitable application of high explosives “

Looking at price gouging. If that is not the case, then why are we paying $99.99 for a box of 1000 primers when they were $15-19 a box. A pound a powder is what $50-60, when it was less than $20. Oh, and let's not forget the prices of 22LR.

All still cheap compared to here..

Another update from Ukraine - or Russia, I should more properly say. After attempting to drop it with a HIMARS rocket strike (four rockets), the Ukrainians rather decisively took out the Glushkovsky Bridge over the Seym River in Kursk. This is a significant river barrier and will make it very difficult, perhaps impossible for the Russian Army to maintain forces south of it. It is the first clear indication that I have seen, that the UA intends to potentially hold this territory for some period of time.

Secondly, it looks like it was taken out by a aircraft delivered JDAM. The clip below shows the the damage caused by the earlier HIMARS strike (they aren't really intended for dropping bridges, but bloody accurate aren't they), and then the typically precise hit by the JDAM. Interesting point about the JDAM is that a UA fighter bomber was able to successfully operate at altitude at the Russian border.

From a purely military perspective, this whole incursion, however successful, would be deemed inconsequential. But wars are as much about political consequence as military ones.

Butler County Coroner never got a chance to see the body and do his own autopsy. Not the way it should be. If the Feds want the public to trust them, they should let the locals do their job.

Wow...just...wow...

I'll defer to the veterans in this community to weigh in on this one.
