Nice rig, should survive the EMP. It's too wet here to mow right now so I think I'll do nothing - I did nothing yesterday but didn't finish.

I have the EMP covered. The Case, a Farmall Super M, and a 66 Ford Falcon that just needs a carb rebuild, and a Piper PA-12 I can get ahold of in a pinch.

If you can convert the Piper engine to run on biodiesel you'll own the post-apocalypse transportation sector.

He's right - same principle as Dobro/dobro - while Dobro is a specific brand of resonator guitar, the brand name has come to be recognized as a term for resonator guitars in general even yhough not all resonator guitars have square necks

Tell me you inherited it from your uncle or something. Everybody knows that when you really must buy a PTO attachment you go with the cheapest thing you can find. Unless it is one of those complex hay balers that runs on the PTO

The Committee to Save the World! Part deux

:lol:
Finally, an anecdote that connected Neumann both to Kushner and the Saudi prince involved a claim by Neumann that three people were going to save the world: Crown Prince Mohammed, Jared Kushner and Neumann himself.

Then, after October 18, 2018, when it came to light that “Saudi agents tortured dissident and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi and carved his body with a bone saw, likely on order from the crown prince himself, Neumann told George W. Bush’s former national security adviser Stephen Hadley that everything could be worked out if bin Salman had the right mentor. Confused, Hadley asked who that person might be, according to a source familiar with the meeting. Neumann paused for a moment and said: ‘Me.’”

I don't know why you guys persist with this one. It's obvious that a trend towards lowering unemployment was well in place before he took office.

Image

Giving Trump credit for unemployment being as low as it is now is just ridiculous. There is absolutely no suggestion of a change in the trend associated with him being elected or taking office.
* Lowest black unemployment ever
Same thing as above. Same thing. Absolutely no indication of a change in the trend associated with Trump getting elected or taking office (this one shows "since Trump" in red):

Image

* lowest Hispanic unemployment ever
One more time:

Image

Again, absolutely no suggestion of a change in the trend associated with Trump.
* 27 stock market records in 2017 (largest one-year % increase since Roosevelt)
As the market moves up over time it hits record highs. The difference between Trump and Obama is that Obama took over after the market took a big plunge and Trump took over when it was near a previous record high. The Dow hit an all time high of 14,164.43 in October, 2007. When Obama took office on January 20, 2009 it was at 7,949.09. So even though a bull market started in March of that year, there was a lot of climbing that had to happen before record highs could be reached.

When Trump was elected the market was in an upward trend. The record high was 18,636.52 and the Dow closed at 18,332.74 on November 8, 2016. So it didn't take much from that point in terms of continued upward movement to continue to set record highs.

I think the thing about the highest one year increase since Roosevelt is just false. At least it appears to be in terms of percent increase (which is the measure of convention). If you look at the history of annual returns at http://www.1stock1.com/1stock1_139.htm you can see that the Dow increased by 25.08% in 2017. But it increased by 26.50% in 2013, 25.32% in 2003, 25.22% in 1999, 22.64% in 1997, 26.01% in 1996, and 33.45% in 1995. If you keep going backwards in time you can find a number of other years during which the return was higher than it as in 2017.
* First close over 27,000
* First close over 28,000
I probably shouldn't have to say this but if a guy takes the office when the stock market is near its historical high and in an upward trend that is going to happen unless something bad happens.
* Highest business confidence reading ever
That appears to be true. But that is not a measure of the economy. It is a measure of perception.
* longest economic expansion ever
And why does Trump get credit for that when most of it happened before he took office?
* Highest black business startup rate ever
https://www.politifact.com/punditfact/s ... 00-percen/
* 15,000,000 people off food stamps
Well, if there are positive economic trends we can expect fewer people to need food stamps. Doesn't mean the positive economic trends weren't in place before Trump.

* Renegotiation of NAFTA
That's a show. Minor tweaks to NAFTA and Trump branding it so he can pretend he did something big. Also we don't know about its economic impacts since it's not in place yet.
* Winning against China
That is a highly questionable assertion.
* Tax reform for middle class
Very small increases in take home income for the middle class at the expense of significantly increasing the deficit problem. Also associated with lying to the US citizenry with respect to the impacts. Telling them that it would result in consistent +3% economic growth when all credible analyses said that wouldn't happen. And it hasn't happened.
* Oh, and what CID said....THE JUDGES
That's not the economy.
