That sounds like a HR issue. Who hires a person with no skills for that kind work unless you intend to provide intensive training as it seems your employer did. I’m not knocking having to work hard. The pandemic has shown that we need essential blue collar workers. My point is that things change, and not everyone has to break their back to be successful. Before I retired, I despised that mindset. There’s nothing wrong with giving 100% effort at your job ( that’s the contract that we enter into when we take a job), but insinuating that younger people are less than, because the world has changed and it hasn’t kicked them in the behind like it did some of us doesn’t mean that they aren’t capable producers. One thing about having a trade skill, most of the time the jobs pay well. My point is that some young people want no part of that, and it hasn’t turned them into slackers. I never want my kids to have to pick up anything heavier than a pen at work. I’ve already done the heavy lifting for them. My kids didn’t get off easy. They worked at restaurants, pushed baskets and cleaned toilets at Kroger. Those experiences taught them that they would rather smart as opposed to working hard. So far I’ve produced a journalist, an aspiring professor and a medical coder. I couldn’t be more proud that for the moment they won’t have to break themselves physically to be proven worthy and deserving providers of milk.

He bought that learning. F*cking bold or incredibly stupid individual.

I totally agree with you on #2 & #3. On #1 I feel that young people want to define a new path to their individual happiness. A path that doesn’t require them breaking their backs and body trying to achieve the American dream. There is no shame in the often times tough, but fun upbringing many of us older individuals enjoyed/endured. That being said, I admire the fact that many young people know that they can have enjoyable and fulfilling lives without enduring calloused hands and broken backs. Twenty or thirty years from now the same young people that we criticize will probably be talking about how easy the youth of that time have it. We’re just getting old and times change. That’s a good thing.

Good luck in your search. I’m currently driving a 2013 Ram Laramie 4x4 with only 87,000 miles on it. Collierville CDR hounds me weekly trying to buy it for just under $30k. I won’t be selling. The new trucks are nice, but not nice enough to pay current prices. Hell, it may take me another five years to hit 90k miles unless I take some short trips out of town. I wouldn’t want to be in the market for any large purchases at the moment. @Erik88my wife thinks she’s going to get a 460 so I can chauffeur her around while she works, but she’s sadly mistaken. Or maybe I am.

I hope it last forever. I’m not a biblical scholar, but wasn’t man initially put to work as punishment? If true, breaking your balls for forty years for someone else’s benefit is overrated.

I really wanted that setup, but all of my toy money keeps going into my sxs. It’s my new addiction.

Welcome to TGO!

I hate this! I was fortunate enough to meet Chip. R.I.P.

I’m ready to get a M4. I’m torn on whether or not I want one with the pistol grip or one without the pistol grip. Those who own or have shot M4’s what is your preference and why? Thanks!

Yep! I don’t have a problem with him having nice things, but this FRT thing is his fight. Like so many other wealthy people he’s riling up the blue collar working man to take up his fight.

Thanks. I’ll keep you in mind.

Where have you seen them online?

I can’t wait to get one.

Tennessee doesn’t require a tag so I don’t use one. I also don’t see an issue with the front tag on a vehicle. Cops know the tags aren’t required in every state.

Both good points. People are attempting to lay blame for the skyrocketing oil prices at the feet of crooked politicians. I don’t like the politicians either, I lay the blame for lack of U.S. oil production on the supposedly thousands of oil leases/permits that have already been granted, but are going unused. https://www.yahoo.com/now/biden-aide-says-energy-companies-163346195.html Big oil’s response https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-07/biden-administration-misusing-facts-on-oil-permits-api-says

I’ve been giggling like a twelve year old girl while reading the post since 23 February. I had Bob on ignore. It seemed that he felt compelled to comment on every post. In his short time here the guy racked up over a thousand post. He had an answer for everything. TGO David’s anus post knocked me out of my seat.

Indeed. I remember I showed up to the range on Walnut Grove with a single action pistol and was turned away. I had to reschedule my shooting test. I believe that was the weekend I purchased my first Glock from Guns and Ammo.

I got mine about a little before you. If I’m not mistaken they were issued by Sheriff Jack Owens. He was a kick ass sheriff. His “jump and grab” policy had all of the Memphis and Shelby County dope boys pissing their pants. Back to your question. I’m not aware of anything free.

Nice find

I just got my stamp in the mail for my HK SBR. It took three months and ten days from purchase to receiving the stamp.
