The Downfall of America........

Hobo Hilton
A "tariff" on goods is nothing more than an additional tax on "We the People". No good then, no good now.

The act granted the EIC a monopoly on the sale of tea that was cheaper than smuggled tea; its hidden purpose was to force the colonists to pay a tax of 3 pennies on every pound of tea. The Tea Act thus retained the three pence Townshend duty on tea imported to the colonies.

Straight Jacket may make a good product, but you have a serious customer service issue. This is not the only issue that I know of where you left a customer high and dry, and made promises that you could not deliver on.

The gun industry is very unique in that there are several variables that can affect the performance of the final product. Building customer confidence in your product should be your highest priority. That includes making a quality product that meets the customer's expectations in a timely manner.

You may make the best barrel/product in the world, but if your service is lacking, you will spend most of your energy defending your reputation.

Locally I am seeing some small scale commercial buildings going up. Obviously setting up the valley to become a "service economy".
Large scale farming and industrial is saying "we will get by with what we have".
America has entered the "wait and see" mindset.
The financial world is acknowledging these conditions are unsustainable.
The world is watching.

Well, good on you. I think it’s best for the owner to always blame himself. Use this as a learning opportunity.

I cant help but wonder how the person who bought it screwed it on…

When we sent them both back out the second time they were torqued on to the barrel by one of the guys in the shop. When they hit the shipping table there was no way to see which one had bad threads. The only way was to check the serial numbers which she did

You're the new owner of SJA? A few prolific members here made comments in that thread that gave me the false impression you were the longtime owner and had a history of issues. I wish I'd have ignored that thread. Fuck.
Click to expand...
Yes my name is Cole Quarnberg. I bought SJA a little less than a year ago. I also own and run Long Range Tactics and do marketing for companies within the industry. I have been doing this for almost 14 years.

This is all hitting me not knowing what most of these guys are talking about but I’m willing to listen if they want to talk.

LOL... Worries about the "Golden Goose"

IMF worried about global spillovers from loose U.S. fiscal policy​


The International Monetary Fund on Wednesday turned its spotlight on the growing U.S. fiscal deficit, warning that it is now a risk to both the domestic economy and global economy.
Loose U.S. fiscal policy could be a factor in making it “harder to achieve” the “last mile” of progress on bringing domestic inflation back to the Fed’s 2% target, the IMF said, in its latest report on global fiscal policy.
At the same time,, “high and volatile” government bond yields in the United States could spillover and lead to tighter financing conditions in the rest of the world, the agency warned.
The IMF said that the U.S. experienced remarkably large fiscal slippage in 2023, with the general government fiscal deficit rising to 8.8% of GDP from 4.1% of GDP in 2022, despite unexpectedly strong growth in the economy.Income tax revenue plummeted by 3.1 percentage points of GDP, owing to lower capital gains taxes and delayed tax payment deadlines.At the same time, spending increased by 1.3 percentage points of GDP.

I think at a minimum id make the shipper girl cry for her mistakes 😂

What kind of action was it for? I read that you said you don’t usually sell that action or make money on it. Just curious.

Sad thing is she has after seeing what happened on here. It wasn’t her fault she did her job. It was on me for not being more thorough and just expecting the right one to go out

Its over 9.8 I believe that they gave "court dates" (in 2030's) for. If you ask them, they say they are here legally. They believe they have the right to vote. If you can't those without court dates as well, probably closer to 12M.

Go back even further than that, right after Reagan gave amnesty to less than a million illegals. The number of illegals in this country could be as high as 40-50 million. Remember, that they are not going to remain celibate.

J.B. Hunt Transport Services’ profit and revenue fell in the first quarter as demand for its domestic intermodal service softened more than expected and trucking volumes fell in a weak U.S. freight market.
The trucking and logistics company, a bellwether for the domestic shipping market, posted a profit of $127.5 million, down from $197.8 million in the same quarter a year ago.
Quarterly earnings fell to $1.22 a share from $1.89 a share last year. Analysts had been looking for $1.50 a share in earnings.
Overall revenue slid 9% to $2.94 billion, missing analyst forecasts for $3.11 billion, according to FactSet.

A few gunsmiths have posted that this is a common thing, when they have the barrel in the lathe and and are test fitting the action on new cut threads it will get stuck and gall the threads. One smith posted not if but when.
Click to expand...
We have seen galling yes, this was welded. To the point it wouldn’t spin and when we cut it out threads were missing. At some point it twisted threads out of the action. Never seen it like this, that’s all we are saying. We still said yup we will fix it and screwed the pooch there
