As I've already said, in their race to out liberal the other candidates and set themselves apart from the other 147 candidates, they're just setting Trump up for another four years. Biden is their best shot at winning, and he won't make it to the end. And the mainstream media will once again blindly aid the D's in electing Trump.

The Case for Capitalism
Impartial_Observer replied to Muda69's topic in Gridiron Out of Bounds's Out of Bound Forum
I understand the argument. However, AOC is now a congressman, Bernie Sanders has been in congress for nearly 30 years, Joe Biden save the last two years has been in the federal level of government for almost 45 years, the whole lot of them that are railing against corporate taxes are the ones who created the system by which these corporations don't pay taxes. It's the system they built. And now they want to bitch because corporations don't pay any taxes. They're all long on soundbites for the folks, but they're short on actions to back it up. Case in point AOC just this week with her concentration camp vid. She's a member of congress, perhaps she could point us to the legislation she's drafted to solve the problem at the border? The bottom line is R and D alike have no interest in solving any problems. Look at the posts on this forum, it's ping pong. More to your point I think we've reached a point in our society where the perception is, I'll vote for you based on the promise of what you'll give me. That's a scary proposition in my opinion. -
Perhaps Wolves should be reintroduced to Indiana? 😉

Honestly, the flooding in Jackson County is pretty normal. The river crested yesterday at 18.2', it's been higher this year. The farm ground that's flooded is the farm ground that's flooded every year. We probably dodged a bullet in the fact the river was just above the normal summer pool before this last series of rain began, it was at 5.8' on Saturday. Normal summer pool is 3.5'-4'. The record flooding we had in 2013 began with the river already just below flood stage, which is 12'. The news clip talks about water rescues, which seem to be a growing problem. I just don't understand people. If the water is across the road, it's not safe, turn around. There is a road not far from my house that gets under water. There is a dip in the road, where if you were to drive thru, you might go from 6" of water to suddenly being in about 5' of swift moving water. There have been countless water rescues at the bottom of the hill from my house. Again, if you get pushed off the road, you go from maybe a foot of water across the road to suddenly being in about 4's of swift moving river. I've seen semi's swept off the road there. https://www.wave3.com/2019/06/19/flood-covered-roads-lead-dozens-water-rescues-june-jackson-county/ .

@DanteEstonia I continually get the "kill me now" tick from you, what is it that's so offensive about my post? Is it the working for what you want or the responsibility thing? -

Currently the median income in the US is 59K and some change. According to the chart linked 10% of our population is living in deep poverty that is defined as less than 40% of the national median income, 23,6ish. Or roughly an $11 buck an hour job. You can probably survive in rural Indiana on that income but you're going to be in a lot of trouble in a metro area or on the coasts. My salary is above the median income, yet I still spend time doing other stuff to make additional money. I like toys, I spend money on stupid stuff at times. My point being while I don't necessarily have two or three jobs, I do stuff for pay in my spare time to earn more money. I'm responsible, I show up when I'm suppose to, I do what I'm suppose to, I don't require supervision, I am at times required to handle fairly large sums of money, and it all makes it where it's suppose to. When our kids were younger, my wife and I both worked 2nd jobs to provide for our family. In many cases our kids had, and we went without. This is the problem as I see it in today's world, people aren't willing to take responsibility for themselves and their families. It's easier to blame the system, the government, the man, whatever for your lack of success. -

Nothing against hunting, I'm all for it, just not my thang. The insurance industry is the one pushing the agenda for more and more deer being harvested. The insurance industry, as Muda alluded to wants the deer gone. I believe we harvest too many deer in Indiana. I am vehemently opposed to the late bow/doe season. If you look at data on deer harvest between Indiana and surrounding states, our harvest are smaller and lower quality. I listen to Jim Strader quite a bit, https://www.jimstrader.com/index.htm , and he's of the opinion our management system is flawed as well. We have a customer who literally feeds his family with what he catches and kills, he often brings me stuff, the venison summer sausage is KILLER! At any rate, he was in a couple of weeks ago and this subject came up, obviously he has no data just his opinion, but he maintains his kills aren't the quality and the size they were, 10-12-15 years ago. One thing to keep in mind we live in different areas, and I'm sure you're not hunting in your back yard. In this area, there are MANY special programs for day/weekend deer harvest. Brown County State Park has/had one, Jeff Proving Grounds has/had one, there are several state and federal lands that had lotteries for non-standard deer stamps. We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

***I'm not a hunter, nor do I care to be*** I whole heatedly agree with proper game management. That being said, Indiana's deer program is pretty much completely run by the insurance industry and is a detriment to the species in my opinion. We harvest too many deer. And the late season doe season, many of which have already been bred greatly exacerbates the situation. I think the American Alligator is a prime example of proper management. While I don't have first hand knowledge, from what I've read and seen, it's a healthy mix of conserving the resource and maintaining healthy levels of animals in the wild. With gator leather goods being readily available commercially. I think even a bigger issue looming on the horizon is invasive species. This applies across the board, flora and fauna.

Brownsburg new WR?

I have been told dad got a new job, and no I'm not making that insinuation.
