The idiotic implication was that it should have taken a year to turn the depression around...and yet it took five years for Reagan to turn a recession around that had less than 1/3rd the unemployment impact. If FDR was an economic basket case how would you classify Reagan making things worse in his first two years? Reagan had been president from January 1981 to November 1982...and the unemployment rate went up by about 50%...
The one that is well protected has bars on the windows and doors...the one that is not is not even on the main street, it is facing a section of the parking lot that would make it easy to hide a vehicle while breaking in. No bars on the window or glass door. It also has a range downstairs.Theft is always the thief's fault; you don't get to lay blame for their bad acts at the feet of the victim. And "reasonable" actions to protect themselves, starts to sound like those "reasonable" gun laws.... you know the ones that aren't a damn bit reasonable?No thanks, they can run their business as they please; you disapprove? Shop somewhere else.
Now, as to those 2 gun shops you referred to, do you know if the one with no visible security leaves their merchandise on display overnight? Because what I have seen a few shops do, is spend their security budgets on a couple large gun safes bolted to the floor in the back room, and a serious alarm and camera set-up. And every night at closing, they move all the merchandise back in there. Safes can be broken into easier than most folks think, (see link in earlier post) but they won't have time during a smash-and-grab burglary.
one can get food poisoned with expensive food
By the way...be sure to talk to Constitutional Sheepdog about going back to 1929....
I'm in favor of protecting your stuff, I'm just really not in favor of anyone mandating how or how much protecting you do. Not governments, or insurance companies, or anyone else.
I like trying new food trucks all over Houston; I've gotten the shits a couple times but I've also found some really good tortas and tacos.... I ain't scared.
Hey, every once in awhile we need get the shits just to clean the system out..........MV just like to remind readers he has a Fast Food Joint...I mean RestaurantI like trying new food trucks all over Houston; I've gotten the shits a couple times but I've also found some really good tortas and tacos.... I ain't scared.
So insurance companies should not be able to mandate a driver's license before they'll let you have car insurance? I should tell my insurance company that they are out of bounds mandating a fire suppression system in my kitchen? No fair telling me I have to have a security system, alarm system and cameras?
I see your point, but all of that can be taken too far, especially for small businesses, and especially for businesses which are politically or socially unpopular, such as gun shops in very liberal areas and pot dispensaries in very conservative ones (to cite a Colorado example
).Harding cut the top tax rate from 75% to 25% and slashed government spending by 50%. The economy snapped back and ushered in "The Roaring Twenties." Reagan was less aggressive and so the economy took longer to come back.
Trust me...My insurance costs for the restaurant are so high that when we've had a theft or a car accident we don't report it.I see your point, but all of that can be taken too far, especially for small businesses, and especially for businesses which are politically or socially unpopular, such as gun shops in very liberal areas and pot dispensaries in very conservative ones (to cite a Colorado example
If you have to have insurance, and yet that insurance is prohibitively expensive, then small businesses are pretty well screwed, aren't they?
I don't doubt you. Restaurants are a tough business; more than half fail.
What in the fu ck are you talking about *edited*?
Why...I'm talking about you, Lambchop.
Again....recessions and depressions are not all the same...the causes are not the same, the impact is not the same...the solutions are not the same.
Yeah. And the Dow jumped thousand points a week after the election two months before Trump takes the oath! Ever hear of a thing called "anticipation?"
I've posted facts...feel free to disagree, as long as you have facts to back you up....Harding didn't cut the budget by 50% and his tax cuts didn't end the recession...it was already over.
1. The national debt increased substantially because we were at war. What would President Thinker have done?
Which doesn't prove my response to you is wrong. Harding did not cut spending by 50%. The unemployment rate at it's worst was just above 10%...not the 25% that Roosevelt inherited from Hoover. The drop in GNP in 1922 was neglible when compared to how far we'd dropped from 1929 to 1933...
