Good luck with your eye brother!
It feels like they are like "Screw those working class idiots" all over the world
Everybody knows german taxes are outrageous. But here it's also the rich who don't pay that much taxes. Without any special tricks.
You have to pay 42% of your income as taxes if you earn 75.000$ or more per year.
On gains from investments in capital markets there is "only" 25% tax flat.
No matter how many millions you earn from that.
Then there is this thing called "Kurzarbeit" which is a temporary reduction in working hours due to a lack of orders. Tax payers will compensate the lesser income of these workers for a certain amount of time.
For example this happend at BMW in 2020.
After that year more than 1.200.000.000$ dividend was given to shareholders, of which 500.000.000$ went directly into the pocket of one of Germanys richest families.
Thanks to the great social state making sure those poor workers at BMW didn't get unemployed...
Well see, that's the thing, I wouldn't move to a big city especially one like Denver. I would do like you and move more out in the suburban or better yet rural areas where you're less likely to find crime. Red or Blue states with big cities all have higher crime rates in their big cities, so it's not so much due to politics usually as it is due to other factors. I'm not saying that the policies of political parties don't have an impact but they don't necessarily effect the entire state, in fact it seems more like they rarely do. Even in areas with high crime rates there are typically neighborhoods better then others. As the popular phrase in real estate goes "It's all about location, location, location."
The city I live in now, is a more sort of rural city. It's a fair size (population approx. 38,000) for the part of the state I live in but it feels kind rural once you get outside the downtown area. Anyway there are parts of the city with a persstently high crime rate but then other areas where it's consistent low to no crime. When I moved here I did my due diligence on what were the best neighborhoods to live in. The one I picked is a neighborhood of mostly older retired folks in my age range with a few young families sprinkled here and there. In the 23 years I lived here the only crime I personally experienced was one time an individual or small group of young people decided it would be great fun to vandalize several homes by breaking the lampost lights in the front yard and/or breaking any of those solar lights that people tend to line their walks with. That's it though, no shootiings, no burglaries, no muggings, no break ins , not even evidence of drug activity or homeless camps and no it's not one of those fancy gated communities with their own private security. In the bad parts of town there's all that stuff happening though, on a weekly if not a near nightly basis.
The part of the state I'm in is considered very conservative but the state overall is considered solidly blue. The liberal policies that contribute to the crime problem in the bad parts of town mainly has to do with law enforcement and the courts being too lienient with crime commited by juveniles. In my neighborhood there are very few juveniles or children so this neighborhood isn't really impacted by the soft on juvenile crime policies of the State.

Avoid the attic too.
What state?
A Benadryl tablet will help thatYes ! Every place I got stung is itching like crazy.
Cool, that's great of the store to take care of for you, sounds like they're almost offering a sort of warranty policy. That's pretty rare for those cheaper RC toys, at least here in the States. Wise move to test out whether it's worth it or not on the cheaper, smaller options, those 1/10 ones can be kind of pricey but they're also usually sturdier and a lot more fun too.

Yes, i only really called to see if they could suggest a servo not made of butter. But I'm real happy he couldn't and is getting me a new one sent.
I think I'm going to like the scale side of this hobby, I loved making and painting the airfix planes as a kid.
Did you guys in the Americas have Airfix?
I have discovered though that my eyesight is pretty piss poor even with my glasses fiddling around with these 1.5mm screws, so I need one of the magnifiers with a light.
My birthday on Sunday and I have been making noise to the wife about a 1/10 scale, I hope she's done the dirty with Santa.
Trimming again in the Cap Junky tent. These buds look pretty nice but there are some fluff left in the tent along with the lower buds that I plan to try out the bowl trimmer on. Couldn’t see putting these easy trimmers in the bud trimmer taking a chance on losing all the goodies from them. They are very sticky and pretty heavy unlike the larf left.
The mouse was probably a better choice, I hear that although they seem very similar to dogs, foxes can be quite difficult to domesticate and they require above average care for a household pet. I used to watch a YouTube channel that focused on this guy who had a pet fox and all the trials, tribulations and joys it was owning one. Now his he raised and kept mostly indoors which made it more challenging. His fox was always getting into mischief and had a fondness for stealing things and hiding them, like his owner's car keys. Since it's not like you can go to a Petsmart and buy bags of dried kibble or cans of wet food for foxes he had to go to a fair amount of trouble to provide his fox with a well rounded diet. One of the things that suprised me most was that his fox had a fondness for small fruits like grapes and various berries. He especially liked blueberries and reacted to them like they were a wonderful treat. His owner would stand on the other side of the room and toss him blueberries one at a time which the fox would happily catch. Watching him and the relationship he built with his fox it seemed like it would make a great pet but even his owner would regularly stress in his videos that owning a fox and especially keeping it indoors was not for the faint of heart and should probably be avoided. If one had an enclosed outdoor space that was set up properly he indicated was a better way to go but overall should still probably be avoided.

Never been there. Actually never been anywhere near the North East. In my business I traveled extensively. I was in a group where we shared our finical statements, Ideas and how to improve the profitability of our dealerships.
We got together 3 times a year for a long weekend. Every time we went to a different city. Mostly the west coast or Southern Florida. Sometimes we went to cold weather locations to ski. Colo and Utah as well.
Used to love San Fransisco plus it was where our National Headquarters was located. (Pleasanton) I hear now I hear it is a shit hole and not safe to go there.
Loved the North West as well. Portland, Seattle and Vancouver. Don't know about Vancouver but from what I hear from Gray Wolf they are now a mess as well.
Don't understand. Denver along with those cities are now not safe and people are leaving in droves.....Why was/is this allowed. Where is this going and what is the future of these once beautiful cities?
Great work as usual Subby. I am right behind you.....6 plants to harvest very soon. I spent time today up-potting my next run......a perpetual grow means there is never a day of rest.
I’m doing it one eye blind today. Trimmed about 15 colas. I’m done. Crosseyed. Gonna put it in the spare bath to dry.
Yup Zivi, been going on in Europe for a long time .....just started getting bad here. The gov't says they want to help the middle class but in reality the opposite it taking place. Reparations and illegal immigrants are screwing the middle class. Funny, without the middle class the county will collapse.It feels like they are like "Screw those working class idiots" all over the world

Me and my puppy sheepdog / werewolf do that, but with cashew nuts. If I give him a cashew nut, he will play with it for a good 20 minutes. Just throwing it around and pouncing and running away from it.
