Lol yea the economy was in such shambles before Trump came along idk how he does it!

Obama NEVER had annual GDP growth of 3% in eight years! The first president in modern history to not reach that number. The economy under Trump achieved that in his first year.

Haha, god you're a tard. Not saying Obama was any good but what were his numbers when he left office? Your chart shows the year after obama took office and was in the thick of the global housing collapse for his performance. You trump lovers are a real one sided bunch

Yeah, there is. I wish they would so we could discuss this bonus we are getting.

The bonus is a scam. Company pays new reduced tax rate on that money, then they stroke you a check and you pay your 23%+ taxes and the gubmint laughs all the way to the bank.;)

Oh god yes, this is so true. I really pity those poor fools who got an extra bonus check. We're so much better off not getting extra money.

I bet we can get an ideal 0% tax rate if we get paid nothing... Maybe you should make that suggestion to your NC.
:rolleyes:

I did, and I was dismissed as a crank. As was my suggestion we be paid in gold bullion and .22 long rifles as a hedge against the next inevitable financial/societal collapse. :D

20,000 rounds of LR? I'll take that option.

It's because .22LR isn't a serious survival round, at least not by itself. Fine for rabbits and other small game but you're gonna need something a bit heavier for bigger game, including marauding humans showing up from time to time to kill you and take your stuff. .223 is ok especially if you have some steel core to help punch through lightweight armor, but you really ought to have something that can reach out and touch someone. 7mm Rem Mag shoots flat but it's not popular enough to have a lot of options. Think on it a while, see what the experts say.

Don't forget a handgun for close-in work too. .45 is a perennial favorite but .40 S&W packs a great punch (far better than 9mm) and almost anyone can shoot it since it has a nice short casing meaning grips that are easier for a wider variety of people to hang on to.

Plus... Gold? That's for amateurs. What you really need is a dozen or more miles of copper wire in various gauges. The guy who can wind generators and electric motors is going to be able to set his own price when combining efforts with other enclaves.

I think you just didn't research your proposal enough. Spend a month or three updating your suggestion and let us know how it goes.
