Only rock Makita hail Nippon. Had a Makita drill I abused installing vinyl siding, windows etc. then left in storage for years. Found it moving one day an it was still charged and worked flawlessly. Since then I’m sure I’ve dumped 10k or more on all matching Makita and a motherload of the 18v batteries.

Imagine an atmosphere so statist that "crossed state lines" (with a tone of outrage) is a repeated mantra. A collective justification, regardless of actual guilt. Bias needs little reassurance. Slaves don't like master, slaves protest their masters brutality, but slaves also love the order brought by the unspoken rule: master is the only one allowed to defend themselves. Regardless if master actually gave us that rule, someone crossed an imaginary line, in our collective imagination, and he has to pay for that. Imagine that shit. -
Lego bikini girl - poster created by Lego's graphics agency in 1981 as an in-house joke and printed up in in very limited numbers for staff. Apparently only one copy is known to have survived.

He get's it entirely wrong at 1:05: "our supply went up, so we have to charge you more". He literally has supply/demand backwards. Less supply of a good, or service and the price goes up[. The supply of goods and services was interrupted by the lockdowns when people had to stop working. The supply of goods and services (like lumber for example) went down, not "up". Naturally if demand for lumber stays the same, or increases the price rises. The government mandated that businesses shut down, and less "non-essential" goods and services were rendered. So the price of these goods, and services went up with decreased supply, economics 101. That's how supply and demand works, not this made up shit he's saying. The only thing that increased in availability was money, the money supply increased 40% since March 2020. I might not have a fancy degree, or suit & glasses like this credible looking dude in the video, but I'm going to say that increasing money supply also pushes prices upwards. The government flanked the economy on both sides, by both decreasing the supply of goods & services, while also increasing the supply of money used to purchase said goods & services. This is pretty basic shit to me.

Direct action > Everything else. UAW at John Deer turned down 2 contracts, and ended up doubling their raises, and improving their pensions, etc. just by sacrificing a couple of paychecks, and waiting it out. Pretty much same thing for anyone who invested in Gamestop during the short squeeze. It's almost as if this simulation we're all living in is telling even the most humble among us, to sacrificed in the present, to enjoy a bigger returns in the future, AKA invest. Most people end up paying an investor interest on their credit card because the default software they're operating on fails to sacrifice present consumption. Some individuals actually crack the code, and can at least break even *golf clap*. Some people see that next flex, that next round of consumption, that urge to relax and procrastinate and resist it. These are the people that actually create the surplus we all enjoy. Some of investors are so productive, and create so much wealth they make way more than can be consumed in an entire lifetime by themselves. Everyone else ends up benefitting from their investments either directly, or indirectly since we're all economically connected. Direct, and indirect beneficiaries of this sacrifice, or for this investment another individual made literally hate the person who sacrificed for it. Default software evolved under centuries of abject neolithic poverty, and dictates if you know someone else in your tribe/family is benefitting from something more than you are, it's not fair, even if you never sacrificed (invested) anything yourself.

Being pulled over and further sniffed out for any possible violation (when I'm obviously in a huge fucking hurry) is way less convenient for me, than just getting my ticket in the mail. I don't see any constitutional benefits to having a chance to suck a "hero officer's" dick in person when I'm being fined "hands on", but that's just me. Just so we're clear, I'm also not for the "blissful economic equality" of mass poverty either like when Marxists want to try socialism again (but this next time it will work, trust me).

Statistically speaking, speeding enforcement does save a significant number of lives. Even if highways are finally privatized, there will still be traffic enforcement of some sort on most roads, although I'd imagine speed limits would just be for smaller 2 lane highways, or highways with too many exits that can't be engineered for high speed. Fines will most likely be automated, and tied to a toll account. To me it's antiquated watching these police today still using highway bandit tactics. Nobody want to go to work and ruin someone's day, all shift long acting as a predatory revenue generator. Lying in wait in the bushes to ambush people like they were prey. Ideally, you should just be fined through an automated camera/toll system on a privatized highway system. At least just get a government issued fine mailed to you if you're the government is the only solution for this type of person. In Iceland, instead of forcing their cops to be assholes for a full shift, they have a camera system for most traffic enforcement. Studies show the likelihood of getting caught (as opposed to the severity of punishment if you get caught) is more effective at changing behaviors. Like if drivers think there's a 25% chance of a cop waiting in ambush, they'll tend to follow the rules, even if the fine is next to nothing.On the other hand, if people think think there's a small chance of gettin caught like 5%, but the fine is huge, people will tend to break the rule more often. That's why most people in Iceland don't speed, but most people here in the U.S. do.
