@CyberPunkCortes $11k ranger. A base ranger now starts at $35k.

Vehicle prices and interest rates before the 2008 financial crash. America never recovered after that.

@uncledoomer I have driven by the Bethlehem steel plants years ago after it shut down. It is sad.

we shipped these jobs overseas so that baby boomers could buy cheaper plastic bullshit

@PioneerPaperTrl I get annoyed at this stuff too. I have to remind myself the Church of Jesus Christ does its best to help all Children of God regardless of circumstance, political leanings, or country.

Anyway, that's how I see things like this. Easy to get frustrated at real or imagined political grief. But regardless, there are people in need, and "we help where we can." "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these..." x.com/Ch_JesusChrist…

I had a summer sales guy spend just a few weeks in a ward where I was a bishop. He asked for a meeting. Before we met, I called the stake president for advice, given that the young man was going to be moving on within weeks. He told me, "We help where we can."

@JohnLeePettim13 The two best days of a boat owner is the day you buy it and the day you sell it.

@FastbreakHoops5 Modern shoes make the feet and ankle area weak.

This is actually crazy when you think about it.

@mhp_guy She is in violation of her contracts and maybe committing fraud. Her company as the prime has to provide 50% of the cost of the personnel. sba.gov/federal-contra…

Meet Natalie. She makes six figures a year working one to two hours a week. She has no experience in hazardous waste disposal. No experience in landscaping. No experience in catering. But she won contracts in all three industries. Her first deal netted her $800 profit per pickup over five years. That's $10,000 net profit every year for making a few phone calls and submitting one proposal. Her second contract paid her $11,000 profit in two weeks. Her largest contract was $962,000 over five years. Her subcontractor charged her $700,000. She pocketed $262,000 for work she doesn't even do. What is it? Government contracting. She bids on jobs on sam . gov, finds subcontractors to do the actual work, and captures the spread between what the government pays her and what she pays her subs. The government is legally required to spend money with small businesses. You don't need experience. You don't even need money. You just need an LLC and an internet connection. In this episode Natalie: - Breaks down how she won her first contract bidding on something she'd never heard of - Shows me the exact AI prompts she uses to analyze 20-page government solicitations - Tells me why contracts under $350K don't require any past performance - Gives me the playbook for finding hungry subcontractors who actually deliver Why aren't more people doing this?

@Joshstilldey Why are we recording everything and posting on social media. Especially our young children.

Parenting comes with surprises… like realizing your daughter might be smarter than you 🌝

@IsaiahLCarter I watched that show everyday.

I will never, EVER understand how this show ONLY got two seasons. Tale Spin arguably was one of the Disney Afternoon's best shows.

@TabbClements “Raise the bar”

Few people love Church talks more than I do. If you follow me at all, you know my Twitter/X brand is sharing Church quotes. So, What is ONE sentence from General Conference (or a fireside or devotional) that is so iconic, most Church members would immediately recognize who said it? No attribution allowed. 😄

@TabbClements “Good, Better, Best”.

@TheCinesthetic Usual suspects.

what’s a film that had the BIGGEST PLOT TWIST EVER and it still blows your mind just thinking about it ?

@DavidBCollum It is a wrap rate.

If my electrician charges $175 per hour, somebody is going to have to explain to me why you would spend four years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to go to college.

@nahumg_ld I hate driving through and around Dallas. Highways are always under construction and drivers are insane.

It's not that deep - DFW sucks. You can build a nice life there and there are some cool areas but the general surroundings are bland and when you come from the west coast (or the east coast) it becomes overbearingly bland

@jesse_k_fox @CurtisHallister LDS church the 5th highest land holder in the USA.

@CurtisHallister I believe they do own a ton of real estate. Probably more than most know.

Is the church preparing for something in Missouri?

@CurryHicksSage They make over $100k, which is much more than minor league baseball players.

What do you think the guys on the Savannah Bananas get paid? I feel like they’re probably criminally underpaid and all the money is going to that self promoting yellow suited impresario character.

@triiadxx Hello. This is fake. Are we now recording ourselves getting into the car????

Love how his wife didn’t argue, she just got down & took her own car. I wonder why mothers always want to drag the front seat with their sons wife.

@mhp_guy I use all Ryobi with the same battery. No problems.

Everyone says you should buy the best tools. No one mentions how often the “best” tools are just as bad as the cheap ones. I had a $100 Ryobi polesaw for ages. I know I know, sue me. It worked great. Swapped it for an $800 Milwaukee pole saw. Been nothing but problems. And before you say “it’s bEcAuSe it’s eLeCtrIc!!” No, the battery life and power are both insane. The stupid bar and chain is terrible. I’m forever adjusting it. Always stuck. Too tight. Too loose. Been using chainsaws for 20 years. This is the worst I’ve ever used. Taking it back to Home Depot after less than 2 months. Not about to throw good money after bad and start swapping parts. They couldn’t even bother to cover the oil tank. My Echo 18” is great.

@FiredUpCoug Throw the poop in her yard.

My neighbor’s two large dogs are pooping/peeing in my yard, and the urine is killing patches of our grass. We’ve already talked to their owner about it, but nothing has changed. Has anyone dealt with this successfully? Any advice to keep the dogs from doing this? Not trying to start a neighbor war, or do anything that will harm the dogs, I just trying to protect our lawn and stop cleaning up after dogs that aren’t ours.

@big_duca Recommend contacting your congressional rep. They usually have a IRS liaison on their staff that can assist.

Got an IRS notice in the mail. Says I owe a penalty for a form I e-filed already. > AI bot picks up phone > IRS: "Here are three options, which one do you want?" > Me: "None, can I talk to a person" > IRS: "Thank you for calling the IRS, goodbye" Hangs up. Absolutely insane.

@Ferries_Fredt He traveled after getting the ball. Took three steps before dribbling.

One of the coldest things ever done by a rookie🥶
