Of course its just speculation, I have no proof. But ya never know... like I said, greed is a MF'r.

Hell, my brother and I were watching Fox News earlier and we noticing all these BLM hats, shirts and flags. Someone is making these thing and most likely selling them. My money is on a Capitalist and not a BLM supporter.

Probably. They're available all over the place, if people are looking for the cheapest price that money certainly isn't going to the cause. Official BLM shirts are $25 I believe, but I don't trust a lot of these companies that literally sprout up out of nowhere to scam you and then disappear.

Facebook is riddled with too good to be true deals for example. They require payment by credit card, bank transfer, or wire, and then never ship.

It seems that greed follows trends as well as movements. SMH.

Greed permeates all, it's human.

Have you ever seen the study where bonobos were put in cages next to each other. They didn't know each other at all, total strangers and there was a slot between them that would allow them to exchange items with each other but not fight and at first there was an opaque barrier between them. One of them was given a vine of grapes which is one of their favorite snacks and it ate a few of them. After this happened the researchers pulled up the opaque barrier so that they could see each other. The other one was hungry and was reaching through the cage signalling that to the other one. Almost without hesitation the one with the grapes divided them in two and gave the other one the grapes. What's craziest to me at least about this is that the grapes that it had eaten already were counted as theirs, so it actually gave the other one more than what it had.

It's odd to think there's an entire species that's in some respects more empathetic than we are.

Never saw that study. The animal world is pretty cut and dry. ***, Food, Family, Survival.

This isn't the same video, but I watch so many different science channels I can't remember which the one I referenced was.



I just thought this video was entertaining, completely unrelated lol.

A customer at my old workplace had a 1955 ford F-100 with a corvette engine in it. I asked him how he was able to get it so new looking when the salt around here is so bad and he said the way they do it is to buy an old F-100, take the VIN#, and then fabricate all new parts for it, so almost every piece on the car was less than 2 years old made by some CNC company in Indiana. I can't imagine how much money went into that project, but he's doing well for himself for sure. That thing idles lower RPM than an average Harley lol.

If you can do a lot of the work yourself you can make some money at it. Generally if you pay someone to do most of the work it’s a loss.
My dad was forced into early retirement in the 90s (factory moved to Mexico, could be some politics in that) he does ok with it. Mostly done out of passion but it adds to the retirement funds and being able to go on to the next project. He finds cars ( mostly 30s 40s) that have salvageable body parts and restores them with more modern parts.

Not a lot of original parts left on this one mechanically anyway.He usually has two. One that’s drivable and one he is working on. He’s in his 80’s now so he’s slowed down a lot he’s had this one a couple years.
it can be a rabbit hole much like any hobby but like I said you can make money at it. Depends on the car of course and making the right decision on the restoration and being able to do a lot of the work. The early cars have went down a little (20s 40s etc)Muscle cars are really popular. The old trucks for the most part are still popular though.

I'd vote for a free college education. Pretty sure none of my ancestors ever owned slaves but I wouldn't feel bad helping them get an education if it is deemed doable.

EVERYONE should be entitled to a free education.

I look at it this way, it doesn't hurt anyone to be smarter. So making sure EVERYONE can be educated benefits the US as a whole. Free healthcare means one less worry and healthier Americans can focus on growing be it at work or in school.

I think AOC has hijacked @ThxOne's account.

Hmmm seems like I was RIGHT. The Federal Judge says these Federal officers in Portland can stay and the lawsuit brought to the courts didn't prove anything. Restraining order DENIED.

Oregon AG sues federal agencies over Portland arrests, says tactics are similar to kidnapping

The lawsuit comes after federal authorities allegedly injured and threatened peaceful protesters in Portland.

Is this what you think justice looks like? And antifa groups are the ones acting like facists?

I'd say it's a fair bet that if the ACLU is against you, you've got like a 2% chance to be remotely correct.

I guess the ACLU needs to brush up on the law.

I think so long as you post a picture of baby hands with each post about cars it's still relevant.

I'll allow it for the lulz, try to keep it on topic though. I have no interest in trying to censor opposing view points, that'd be hypocritical.
