Inflation sucks, but given your job. I would say in many ways just having something coming in is a win because the Fed literally tried to kneecap the construction space and it kept churning along. Hopefully there is some catchup for you now. We are starting to see real results in measurements...
Yeah. It’s complex for sure. For every guy making $50/hr, there is a client think he is way overpaying for that guy. I’m not sure who is correct. Capitalism works, but it is messy. Some people will learn Spanish and become a GC. Lol.
And that is the problem. We already know what we want to believe, so we look for conclusions that support that. It’s like getting the Cliffs Notes on opinions without even reading the Notes. People start believing things without data or facts. Then throw in a survey or two to gauge opinions and...
You ever been on a jury? Lady-in-red is why people avoid jury duty. No one is changing her mind on ANYTHING. She will debate with herself on having the jelly-filled donut vs the cinnamon twist donut for 20 minutes until the judge tells her to hurry up. Unfortunately, people like that are more...
Yeah! My lady in red wanted to know what her made-up rash was and what was in the made-up cream make a more informed conclusion on the made-up numbers. Truly an independent and objective thinker.
The lady at the 3min mark is clearly a Hunttalker.
"I don't think the numbers mean anything to me. I would need to know what's the rash and what's the cream you're giving me."
Oh you and optimism of the human race. I'm not sure how people "should look upon" something is an adequate argument to kill it (sure, it's dead IRL, but this is the internet). While I agree with the general view, people don't think that way. This is why economics is called the Dismal Science...
This is a point I was thinking about. The idea of "well, it was the last day so I killed the first thing that walked by". Even if we haven't done it, I think we have all heard it at some point. I think it is easy to understand when you charge $700 for the permit. Crazy idea...could you change to...
Are you talking about choosing that name, or the ideals? A lot of them chose a different name, and then we all just agree they are Nazi-like, so if the shoe fits, I guess. I’m also not sure they view being hated by others as a bad thing. When your views are based on hate, the opposition hating...
I thought this was about helping the resource, not helping hunters kill the resource more easily. I generally agree with your thought, just don't think "hunter effort" is useful to the discussion. It reframes the problem back to a scarcity mindset that seems too common these days in a variety of...
I get the complexity and interconnectedness of the problems, but I will add that it is this way a lot because Montanans' chooses to make them interconnected by the way they run the system. This isn't really about the group's work. It's about the intellectually lazy conclusions being drawn on...
I think we may be talking about two different things. You and @Flatbrimmer seem to be talking about hunting pressure. I thought this idea was about helping mule deer, not mule deer hunters. If populations drop by 40-50%, no B tags should be available anywhere and little time should be given to...
Agreed and it would make complete sense. But I think it is a mistake to focus on public deer vs private deer. Deer don’t understand boundaries. It is directly related to pressure and to feed on a pivot.
The main point is to limit B licenses is a step in helping deer rebound and that is why FWP...
You got those restriction in 2023, but R harvest of MD does in R7 was 250% of the NR MD doe harvest, and 280% on the Statewide estimates. Sure, the move was a step in the right direction, but how much of a step? I tend to doubt that gives you the warm and fuzzies you were looking for. I think it...
One thing I noted in the reviews is that the iPhone tells you it can’t get a signal and to reposition. Garmin doesn’t do this until the message isn’t able to be sent 20min later. This is what I mean when I say the garmin device user interface is horrible. I view it as the equivalent of working...
Had to look it up. I am 100% sure it wouldn't make me a better fisherman. The smart watches aren't cheap either. All I can say is why would anyone buy one of those?
