Just watch out for the 5 year rule, otherwise it's a good way to go, for an extended time period.

Are you questioning that?

I'll second that about the cool breed of dog, she has great taste in 4 legged creatures, wonder what color it is, same as mine, hopefully! As long as she stays away from the culinary and kitchen appliance suggestions, she should be fine!

That's called Incrementalism.... some here seem to be OK with that..... until they aren't,..... but at that point, it's too late.

CNBC the same thing. Notice how it's just the Liberal media? Fox News still allows comments on their articles...

It's something else, I'll let you scroll the content of the thread to figure it out...

GUN BILLS STALL IN SENATE COMMITTEE At today's meeting of the NJ Senate Law and Public Safety Committee, S120 (increases penalties for leaving firearms within access of a minor) was not heard and the bill was "held." Our sources indicate it was held because anti-gun lawmakers intend to pursue more aggressive legislation on the subject instead in the future. Also, a hearing began on S746 (prohibits firearms ownership for mere "disorderly persons" offenses toward animals), but after fundamental questions were raised about the scope of the bill, the legislation was also "held" and the bill sponsor agreed to go back to the drawing board on it.

In all honesty, you need MORE than just "simple and basic", otherwise you might walk out missing your pants. Also, it looks like it's a great day to buy the dip!

You see @fishnut, voyager gets it, it's all about the interpretation. But, you decided just to jump to conclusions, and didn't understand the point of my post.... typical... I was pointing to how different everyday activities can be considered abuse by some, and how this law could be misused. But, you decided to go on the personal attack, anyway. (want to remind me who was crying a few months ago about personal attacks???) Maybe you should go cry to a certain someone again, that your feelings are hurt, because I posted a comment in a thread.

I've had dogs longer than you've been on the planet. Want to try again?

When did you guys get the email link?

So, if you go out jogging with your dog, will that be considered inhumane? Better be careful how may times you throw the frisbee for him at the park. How about making him run hard through the woods bird hunting? Some would consider that abuse. How about participation in Agility or K9 obstacle course competitions, where the dog is pushed to perform? Take your dog for a walk on a hot day, and his tongue is hanging out and he's panting heavy.... GUILTY!!!!! Lots of possibilities for Red Flag dog complaints.

How do you actually know this? Do you measure exactly how many gallons go into your tank versus what's being shown on the pump?

That's been my experience too. We've run WaWa gas in all our vehicles, like forever, with no issues.

Tell your next door neighbors to stop crapping in their backyard.

You didn't mention ETFs. ETFs are also a pool of stocks versus individual stocks, so they reduce risk, but they trade like individual stocks immediately, not waiting for the close of the market for the day. Many can be bought for zero commission, and have low fees or expense ratios. The ETFs can be structured around a industry (utilities, technology, financials, etc.) or structured around themes (pot stocks, retail, medical, auto industry, pets, etc.), or even around market indexes. I have a couple built around the defense industry that are kicking butt.

Never underestimate the power of the Rednecks! KBDaBear @kbdabear 3m "Uneducated Southern rubes" designed and built the frame and roll cage that enabled Ryan Newman to walk out of the hospital 2 days after that horrific crash "Educated urban elites" designed the app that couldn't count votes in Iowa.

Where ya getting 7%?

So, you'll stay away from their gas, but eat their unknown sourced tuna?????

Here's an article that goes over a bunch of info on them: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/20/the-biggest-things-you-probably-dont-know-about-roth-iras.html

Oh my, your assertion is wrong again... ...." Debt from credit cards hit a record high in 2019, driven by young borrowers and aggressive spending, according to The Wall Street Journal. Despite a healthy economy and robust job market, the number of people who fell behind on payments increased. Serious delinquent credit card debt is classified as payments that are late by 90 days or more. That number went up to 5.32 percent in Q4, the highest it has been in about eight years — it was 5.16 percent in Q3. The rate for serious delinquency among borrowers aged 18 to 29 years went up almost 10 percent to its highest level since Q4 of 2010 at 8.91 percent." Really, you got that from the record level of delinquencies? The topic wasn't the "majority", please keep focused and don't pull a Greenday Straw man. In your "Best Economy Ever", most benchmarks of economic stability in families have been heading SOUTH, in some cases, approaching levels close to the previous recession. Somehow, you still think people are in the best economic shape ever. Funny, I'm STILL waiting for you to post the FIRST chart or data link to support your hyperbole and narrative. All I've seen is the Greenday shuffle, all assertion and no data.... just null posts... that just confirms to me, you got nothin... Sad...

So...... ....."As of the first quarter of 2019, there are an estimated 5.2 million federal student loan borrowers in default. By contrast, 18.6 million borrowers are current on their federal loan payments." That's 28%, is that considered good in a "great" economy? How about the delinquency rates: ......"Delinquent U.S. student loans reached a record $166 billion in the fourth quarter. But since “delinquency rates for student loans are likely to understate effective delinquency rates” by about half, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the figure is probably a far cry from reality. Factoring for understatement would imply that about $333 billion in student debt has not been serviced in at least three months." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-02-22/u-s-student-loan-delinquencies-hit-record I'm sure those kids are just investing their money in the stock market instead, right? Lets look at those numbers: ......"Serious auto-loan delinquencies – 90 days or more past due – in the second quarter, 2019, jumped 47 basis points year-over-year to 4.64% of all outstanding auto loans and leases, according to New York Fed data released today. This is about the same delinquency rate as in Q3 2009, just months after GM and Chrysler had filed for bankruptcy." It's a good thing nobody needs a car in a "great" economy.... they can just use Uber, because everyone knows, a car is a luxury, right? ......"Some 7 million Americans are 90 days or more behind on their auto loan payments, new data released by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York shows. The number of delinquent loans follows a trend of steady increases since 2011 and has risen to the highest level in the 19-year history of the bank’s loan origination data. " https://www.bankrate.com/loans/auto-loans/auto-loan-delinquencies-rise/ Even when a lot of it is unaffordable and not being paid back by the borrowers? Just because banks GIVE loans doesn't mean the borrower can afford to pay them. @Mrs. Peel, what color blue do you like? Maybe you should call it hyperbole, devoid of data but FULL of opinion, by some.. That would be more accurate. You should go stroll over to this site, it's very educational. Here's a snapshot... It will change (by a lot) by the time you get there: https://www.usdebtclock.org/

Sure... but I'm still waiting for one of you guys to actually post true data, besides just hyperbole, showing proof the economy is strong. Lots of talk/bloviating, but ZERO verifiable proof so far.. Why is that? And, for the bonus question, if the econony is so great, and everyone is making money, how come the government is running a $1.3 TRILLION deficit? Last time that happened was Obama's first year, when the country was trying to climb out of the recession.

Lowering interest rates and printing money (which has been going on since last Fall). I'm still waiting for you to tell me the financial theory that supports this action during a "great" economy.

It does? With the GDP running at between 2% - 3%, these record levels of debt don't seem to be helping. No, I said the high debts levels are a symptom of a not good economy. People are using their credit cards (and increasing their balances) just to pay for their everyday stuff. MOST aren't using debt in a strategic way to MAKE money. You think taking out a new car loan for 7 or 8 years is a sign that people are doing great in this economy? It's an indication, depending on what type of debt, is their economic health. If they're taking on new debt, just to get through the month, then it's a big indication. Relatively healthy? First, the stock market has ZERO connection the real world. 60% of the population doesn't even participate in it. Like I said above, if debt grows the economy, how come GDP is flat, just abut even with inflation? Jobs? Just because people are working doesn't mean they're doing OK and making money. Real median disposable income is up like $100 a month, YOY. Does having an extra $100 a month in your pocket make you want to add thousands to your credit card bill or buy a car? Only if you believe what the media "is selling you" that things are good. Interest Rates? Since last Fall, FED rates are dropping, does that happen during a great economy or down times? How about the Fed balance sheet? They've been printing money since last September? Is that a sign of a great economy? Go look again at the two charts I posted above. Exactly, and I just gave you a bunch of FACTUAL economic data points. You can either believe the print media that everything is great in MAGA Land, or you can look at actual economic data points. Your choice.
