@Streetfight983 Well, using their playbook “words are violence” would excuse this… I’m honestly conflicted. This girl has lived with ZERO consequences until now.
@cavannastan Definitely cool and a step in the right direction… now just need to figure how to spread and mitigate that MASSIVE inertia of impact over a 13”x16” area without rupturing internal organs and shattering the ribs and spine. 🤣🫡
I'm hearing that Marc Krebs passed away this weekend. If you don't know who Marc was, he was one of the OG's in the US AK modification world. He did some really cool stuff and I'm proud to own some of his rifles. He will be missed. God speed, Marc.
To anyone considering helping President Trump interfere with our election or our count:
You will be prosecuted.
That’s why I’m moving forward with new legislation that would make it a FELONY to seize ballots before the vote has been certified by state and county officials.
@TrueFactsStated Yes, this is wonderful! You should actively recruit like-minded individuals to join you as well! That would create more affordable living here as well as make additional space for those that love this nation! Bravo to you folks!
@amerpipedream Additionally the dollar is very soft and that means that individuals have a lower level of discretionary funds to purchase these sort of items after paying for their actual cost of living.
I’d say that you’re about as competitive as you can be currently. My 2 cents.
@amerpipedream The depletion of existing stocks (especially the surplus) coupled with the increasing demand for these items is clearly driving market values up and therefore the price for consumers. It looks like Amazon and OpticsPlanet beat APD in a few areas like Mil-Tec products…
Married former Monroe County FL deputy, Lamar Roman, worked security on a TV series (Bad Monkey) that was filmed in the Florida Keys.
He took a fancy to one of the women in the show and used Flock/ALPR cameras & their AI database to locate her address and her vehicle as she was going down the road. If you go to the county's website (separate video) you can see the dash cam footage of him passing two vehicles in a double yellow at 70+ MPH to speed up and pull her over. One of the vehicles had to swerve off the road (seriously...) to avoid his cop car when he was speeding up to pull her over.
He then pulled her over with no legal pretext. Bodycam footage then shows him saying "I told you I'd find you" and laughing during the illegal stop.
He THEN added her vehicle to a "hot list" in the database that would alert him every time her car passed a privately owned surveillance camera in his county.
After being arrested his criminal case was moved to a "diversionary" program where his charges will be dropped when/if he a completes court mandated program.
He will never spend a day in prison for criminally stalking her nor for the BLATANT violation of her 4th & 14th Amendment rights.
I hope she sues the county and bankrupts them for ever deciding to infringe on the county citizens rights like this. This was a conscious decision made by county leadership that was 100% predictable at the time.

Really? Your lot didn’t show up to help until 1942, when we’d already repelled German efforts to invade in 1940. Maybe you should stick to the local politics of your own Florida backyard. You’re clearly out of your depth on historic and geopolitical matters.
What about all the entrepreneurs that risked everything and failed ?
Or the ones that are grinding it out, trying to build a business ? You know, the ones that create more than 60 pct of the new jobs in this country.
The more successful they are, the more you hate them?
Take their money so they can't invest in other founders? Or invest in causes they believe in ?
And the ones that fail and get to deduct 3k a year of their losses ? Or went for it and are broke and might never see enough income to offset those losses ? You don't care if they go broke ?
10 pct of the people in this country are entrepreneurs that have started a business.
You ever try to help them ?
There are plenty of discussions to be had about income inequality. About helping people who are struggling economically.
I've talked about a lot of them in my timeline.
But in reality, saying "Eat the rich" will end up helping no one except maybe politicians trying to raise money. And probably hurt those in need, as more money is spent playing politics then helping
Wealth tax. Unearned income tax. Show me the multi year behavioral analysis, as opposed to simple models, that show more jobs, higher wages and personal wealth will be created for those who need it. I'd love to read them
Ideology is not a strategy. Nor is it a plan that has lasting impact on people who need help
And so you know.
I'm not a believer in trickle down. It's a joke.
I am a believer in trickle up. Where we do all we can get to get appreciable assets and higher wages into the hands of people who have to live paycheck to paycheck. I've said before I think raising the federal minimum wage to $20 is smart. When I heard people who worked for a company I invested in (but didn't run) needed government assistance, I made sure they all got raises. It was embarrassing to me that we didn't pay enough. I've made, or helped make, at least a thousand millionaires. And I'll keep working to increase that number
And that's the point.
The best path to help more people is to work with the people that can help more people.
If you demonize business people , you just make it harder for them to help anyone.
I'm not saying there aren't greedy, blood sucking business people that will do anything for a dollar.
But they are a small minority. Most entrepreneurs realize they are blessed. They want to find ways to help. They think they can use the same skills that built their business to help people.
And they can. They can hire more. They can give raises. They can educate. And they do all these things to help.
I've sat with Democrats and Republicans, incumbents and candidates,and asked them why they aren't meeting with businesses that make and sell the products that have become unaffordable, and asking them what can be done to reduce prices.
I do this continuously regarding healthcare. It's easy to see where the friction and increased pricing is coming from. Why (the politicians ) aren't you meeting with them and asking them to change ? Offering to support those that do raise wages, lower prices , improve benefits. Politicians just won't do it. They prefer the donations.
I did shark tank for 15 years purely to show people they can start small, grow their businesses, and help not only themselves, but their employees and their communities as well. And thats exactly what has happened.
Demonizing those that have success is counterproductive to every benefit you want to help bring to people.
