“People are worried, even some people who voted for you, saying ‘I didn’t sign up for this.’ So how do you address those concerns?” ABC host Terry Moran asked Trump.

“They did sign up for it, actually, and this is what I campaigned on,” Trump replied. He added, when questioned about price increases on electronics, clothing and homebuilding, that “China probably will eat those tariffs.”

Man I hope democrats use that ammunition he left sitting there for the next 80 years.

I’m not sure if it’s plastics alone or if there’s also something with the pesticides or some other contaminant, I generally cook everything from scratch here and still felt like a million bucks eating like shit in the UK…

That is already a rule on the books. This EO is just a dog whistle for racist idiots.

From my personal experience the bigotry towards non white non male folks in the industry can be pretty extreme, so off the very top of my head I can think of several ways a bombastic EO could inflame that worse. Not to mention I’d like my government to focus on fixing shit instead of meaningless performative bullshit

It’s already part of the federal commercial driver regulations too… so no. No they have not. The most they’ve seen is someone with a heavy accent and maybe broken English.

From what I’ve found reading terms on some of these it’s fees baked into them that are pretty dang steep compared to interest if you pay them off immediately. Many then balloon once you get past some arbitrary point between 30-90 days. Might take a look at this to get an idea. I’ve seen these guys recently at a mattress store and googled a cost estimator to see how they worked.

Oh I know! I about have everything diagnosed and despite the rabbit trails the fixes are all pretty cheap. Smoke was 2 separate issues: clogged pcv hose, and dying cdi boxes causing incomplete ignition. The check engine light is the upstream O2 sensor, so now I’m just waiting on parts.

With the amount of fucking stupid going on you never know anymore lol. I mean only 38% of people are current on their federal loans apparently so it’ll be fine…….

Hold up private collections? Sorry I missed that one. Do you have a link on that? I haven’t seen that stated yet

That sounds about right! And about average for every older vehicle I’ve had once they start causing these rabbit holes type issues

Yes but it almost never does anything

They can not only garnish your paycheck but also your social security aka retirement money…

The fact they still say they have faith in the dipshit is astounding

They do, though admittedly I’d steer anyone towards Honda over anyone else for price and longevity. We have a 1978 Honda in the garage that runs almost like new still!

Now I won’t say motorcycles are as safe as cars (statistically they’re not), but I will say it is less risky than many people think. The majority of fatal crashes involve no helmet and a very large portion involve alcohol unfortunately. The average commuter who gear up is fairly safe if they’re conscious of the weather and road. Plus they make vest worn airbags now that are showing incredibly promising things if you do know someone who rides. Something like a 89% reduction in spinal injuries. (YouTube link)

No clue. Swore I’d never buy another Yamaha…but I failed and have another one. This one I’ve had to do nothing but normal maintenance on and it looks like the same thing. 2 sizes of Allen keys and a socket wrench to remove the plastic fairings just to get to the oil filter for an oil change.

I’ve just started to budget for a mechanic doing all the larger maintenance on it this time!

So there is an exception to my past statement. Yamahas. The last one I took the engine apart on every bolt was a different damn socket size!

Usually yes. The bike I work on the most the whole motor falls out the bottom if you remove five bolts so even large overhauls are manageable. Other routine maintenance things are also placed in convenient places.

The clutch is on the side of the motor (usually the bottom left) and come out with just that cover removed.

The suspension I replaced without any tools besides a socket wrench as I could put them on the wheel and just lift the wheel by hand to place it correctly onto the other side of the frame.

It hasn’t been consuming oil or misfiring, so I don’t think it’s that, it is showing more signs of an air leak from what I can tell

Definitely a learning lesson! I really don’t care for any vehicle work larger/more complicated than my old motorcycles but I also prefer to not pay a mechanic to fix this stuff as often as possible.
