    Fixing social security

    Thank you for your kind wishes. I agree with all three of those things being issues, but it does not negate the fact that if the money the boomers paid in had been invested rather than spent, the uphill battle would be a lot less uphill. Was the original rationale not that lots of people were...

    Thank you very much. It’s greatly appreciated.

    Fixing social security

    I’m talking about implementing a system that was supposed to be voluntary and never used for identification purposes, with a trust fund whose money does not belong in the general fund turning into a mandatory program whose trust fund has been pilfered in a very questionable way resulting in what...

    Fixing social security

    I’m in and out of wakefulness currently. Been in bed with fever and chills most of the day.

    Fixing social security

    There’s definitely good reason to have some sort of social safety net, but that’s not excuse for corruption, mismanagement and illegal or near illegal use of funds, which are he reason that SS is where it is today. Eliminating it without a replacement that takes care of those who actually need...

    Fixing social security

    I’m just saying that you should start lower and go up. I guess it might not matter if they were always over the cutoff, and you compare that to a personal investment that is the same amount as whatever the cutoff was for all of the prior years.

    Converting 22-250 brass

    The dents are from too much lube. Try even less if you’re getting dents. It’s crazy how little it takes. I use a case in a socket with a low speed drill and a basic propane torch. I’ve read that you need MAP gas, but I had a propane torch, and it worked fine. Later I bought a MAP torch and...

    Converting 22-250 brass

    Check the length. If it’s too long, you’ll crimp the case mouth onto the bullet when you chamber it and pressures will skyrocket. The dents are called “lube dents”. You need to use less case lube. Some case lubes either dent or cause a stuck case when forming one cartridge to another. I’ve...

    2024 New Mexico Draw Results

    I agree. I’m not in favor of eliminating e-plus at all. AZ is demolishing elk herds because landowners do not benefit from having elk on their land.

    Fixing social security

    im pointing out that income 40 years ago would be dramatically less than income today. You cannot use a flat income for all forty years. You need to depreciate past year’s income for both inflation and the fact that the employee likely started at something resembling an entry level for their...

    NM Elk Draw

    If the outfitter and nonresident pools were combined, overall odds for deer for NRs would be about 1/5 vs 1/2.5 for residents. For elk overall NR odds would be about 1/12 vs 1/3.5 for residents. Of course that includes cow tags that are reserves for residents only, so overall resident odds for...

    Colorado Draw Changes

    Thank you for the correction. I wonder if it changed, or if I was simply bassackwards on that. Either way, that unit is likely to have a lot more tags make it to the secondary draw.

    Fixing social security

    But you based that on making the same $100k 40 years ago that you do the day you retire. That’s not even close to accurate for most people. Gonna have to do something. I don’t see any of it as good. I wish we could prosecute the people who squandered all of the money they took from us without...

    GunBroker sales tax

    You know him and believe him to be honest. It sounds like he realized his mistake but was too embarrassed to admit it. Poor guy lost a customer even after turning the money because he let his price get in the way. That’s an EASY thing to do. I hate eating my words. Hate, hate, hate it. Sometimes...

    Colorado Draw Changes

    It’s a draw hunt, and some of the resident tags appear to spill into the NR quota as second choice, but it appears that whatever makes it to the secondary draw gets snapped up by youth. I have run into multiple groups of youths being escorted by parents and grandparents who have told me that...

    2024 New Mexico Draw Results

    I think you should absolutely take advantage of whatever NMGF allows you to do, but this brushes up against an issue that could improve draw odds. It would be quite easy for NMGF to make applying in the draw make you ineligible to purchase a landowner tag, and visa-versa. If you had to pick your...

    CO Estimated Harvest Stats are up

    Another thing to remember is that harvest stats can be correct while painting an inaccurate picture. Smaller numbers of tag holders not only require a higher percentage of the tag holders to be sampled, perhaps 100%, but the actual harvest can also swing wildly year to year. 3-4 guys with access...

    Points systems - when is it fraud

    Work on your reading comprehension then. He said they forced you to buy a point “to apply”. Basic grammar indicates that “to apply” was a condition. And yes, in order to apply, you’re “forced” to purchase a point. Otherwise you cannot apply. Either you failed to understand, or you just wanted to...

    Points systems - when is it fraud

    I don’t know if it could really be considered false advertising as they’re not claiming anything that isn’t explained. Buy it if you want. What are they selling? Most likely they’re selling an eventual switch to some sort of bonus point scheme rather than pure preference, as once people figure...
