Because no one single party is capable of doing so. That's why Americans will always be angry - and that's why the balance of power keeps going back and forth every 2-8 years.

I think if depends on what you think the majority of your use will be. I have the Dewalt 18/20V system and Milwaukee's M12 system. If you think your work will be more automotive, I would go with Milwaukee. If you think it will be more housework/constructor, I prefer Dewalt. The reality is...

There's a lot of debate of whether these prospective tariffs have/will/should work or not. One part of the the answer is no one knows for sure until they actually happen. The other part is that they probably need to yield a net positive observable effect (to the majority of Americans) within...

So hybrid powertrains (to include the ICE part) should be more reliable than powertrains that just have the ICE portion?

@10:00 "... build quality here is moderate/average at best. These trucks are not meant to last 20 years, but for the time they are meant to last, they are meant to do their job and do it exceedingly well. That's what this system does. Don't expect this to last 20 years without having issues...

I watch his Youtube channel. His videos are usually pretty good and informative.

Practically speaking, each new administration only has 2 years to deliver on their promises before voters have an opportunity of a "check in" at the mid cycle elections. In order to actually execute and implement the promises, you actually need competent and experienced people at the helm of...

Costco pizza and hotdogs.

I don't even blame the banks for it. If the average American makes $85,000/year and real estate is so expensive, they are just 1 lay off away from not being able to afford the mortgage. There's no way I'd lend to the average American these days - they're way too stretched.

The other part of the problem is that if the Fed is trying to target 2% over the long term and you had a year where inflation was 10%, then you would need to target 0% for a very LONG time to get the long run inflation at 2%. The way they do it now is, "Oh, we f'd up for a year, just forget...

I think the bolded part is what the average American would disagree on in exit polling. Americans feel that the turnaround was only observed by the upper middle and wealth Americans. It's a bifurcated economy. The lived experience of the average American is quite different and they were angry...

Anything worth doing is worth over-doing. We should definitely implement tariffs. I don't think the tariffs are enough, we should at least double or triple what we are proposing. Then get the Fed to raise interest rates another 300-1000 basis points so we can keep the price under control...

I think the problem is that there's still a lot of variation for tires that have the 3PMSF rating. But when Michelin does rate a tire as 3PMSF, it means something. I no longer run winter tires on my cars where I can run the CrossClimate 2 tire. A lot of reviews has that all-weather tire...

I think the tariffs will definitely increase new vehicle pricing. I also don't think the American public has enough disposable income to afford more expensive vehicles. If the tariffs increase prices to the point where OEMs produce significantly less volume, it could actually lead to a loss in...

It depends on what someone gets their degree in. One perspective is that educational loans should have an interest rate that reflects what the market expects the risk/ROI to be on that specific degree. I would imagine an educational loan for electrical engineering, mechanical engineering...

Agreed. I'm waiting for a snow/ice performance comparison. I know you can't judge a book by its cover, but I suspect the Defender LTX M/S2 will perform better in snow/ice based on its tread pattern. It seems to have more siping than the TerrainContact H/T.

The price will likely increase but there are ways to counteract that. The Fed raise the Fed funds rate significantly to fight inflation. Of course that means higher unemployment but lower prices are what the American people wanted...

There's actually a more recent review comparing those tires: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/testDisplay.jsp?ttid=335

It's like that Tundra vs. F150 thread on the Tundra forums.

If you installed this: https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-6066-F150SCA ... you could probably just make a 90 degree right turn from a near dead stop and still blow past both @Samson16 and me in half a mile.
