Has Rig Talk become The Gear Page ?

I couldn't tell you what that was without looking it up.

I mostly like olive oil on my salads but will do a quality greek or caesar dressing. I use some steak sauce now and again since we can't afford real steaks so we just slice up roasts. I hate ranch with a passion. I hate blue cheese. I hate italian dressing. Now gravy, that's similar in consistency, but a whole other topic.

This stuff is 91% X Peppers. The world's hottest pepper. I put on everything for awhile. Then the entire digestive system said that's enough.

I would think it's illegal not to have hot sauce in TX. Maybe your Minnesota roots 🤣

We eat hot stuff but it's usually like salsa or adding hot peppers to tacos. I'm just not into slathering a bunch of stuff on my food. It should taste good without the need for that and is basically how fat pigs make salad into hog feed.

I don't like super hot sauce. I just like some nice shakes of tabasco or the hotter version, the Scorpion version. It enhances burritos but it is quite hot.View attachment 384413

Salsa marked "mild" down here would be marked "hot" up north, it's funny. If it gets hotter than a good hot jalapeno that just seems kinda like stupidity to me. Like buying one of those disgusting 12 percent triple bocks. Just give me a normal beer.

We'll see how it plays out. In the meantime, US customers suffer.

Well you would think that leftist, pro union people would be more than happy to pay more for products actually made in the US. I spent a good deal of my life as a union carpenter and I know that was the way back then. I clearly remember bumper stickers on union guys cars saying things like " Hungry, eat your import". So I guess liberals have flipped. Kinda like they did on the 1st amendment and you know, freedom to not have the government dictate your entire life, what you can ingest, what you can say or believe, what you can drive or buy, etc..
 
The left is the party of globalism. They are the elites. They are the reason there is a massive wealth divide and shrinking number of well paying jobs for the average American.

The left is composed of very poor (who need welfare), people employed by the government in some fashion (better paid welfare recipients), the ultra rich, and the retarded.

Well, I think you'll find plenty of support for that position on the actual non neo-liberal left.

Nobody supports me in totality so looking for the actual non neo liberal left seems like a waste of time. And what is the actual non neo liberal left? It doesn't seem like anything tangible politically so even if it was what you say it is you're talking about Canada not here and there are other inherent problems with that. I'd put more faith in them if I was getting a cut of the syrup. :LOL:

Their thinking is, rightfully so, that once US businesses see the bill with tariffs included, they will cancel their orders, which is very expensive for the seller (increased inventory storage, cancellation processing and stock rerouting, etc). Their logic is that it's better to sell to other countries that are not as profitable but much more stable.

I'm willing to see how these tariffs play out. I just know that the US has reciprocal trade agreements with several countries; including Canada and Mexico, which haven't held up their end of the bargain.

I don't think the purpose is all about generating revenue from the tariffs themselves. It's about making a play to force these countries back to the negotiation table to rework those 30-40 year old trade agreements. The long game is to negotiate the US into a better position where goods are being bought from us. This is what ultimately will generate revenue and create jobs. If that what we get in long term gains, I'm willing to put up with some short term discomfort.

I do hope they're a successful negotiation tool as well, absolutely, but I'm concerned US businesses won't be able to find new sources without massive price hikes in the meantime and afterward. I'm with you though that I hope the long game plan works out.
