As a scan the news from California, I can't definitively discern which wage paying entities and worker classifications are included or excluded under the plan. Here's the game as I see it. They are trying to redefine and increase the poverty line to the much palatable and tug on your heart strings, alms to the less fortunate "living wage" using a new baseline of $31,200 for "subsides" 40 hours x $15 × 52 weeks = the MINIMUM living wage of $31,200 They know those workers currently do not get 40 hours and this will not entice business to offer 40 hours. Business can either reduce staff and further sacrifice service or suck it up, pass along the cost or operate for very little reward vs. risk (for the small business owner) Guv'mint get to hands out more stuff to the mob to make up the difference between wages earned vs. the minimum living wage. National production goes down as workers don't have to produce as much because they have less need and they're making the same money more folks become dependent upon guv'mint and like the lifestyle and production goes down some more Value for value has long since been dead. All of a sudden there is no one left to pay for all that stuff...read history if you want to know what follows, but hey, it will NEVER happen to the good old USA! Tin foil hat brigade, front and center.

"Perfect crime" and "technology has outpaced" legislation...to the first - someone has watched way too many spy - action flicks.... To the second - guv'mint should now regulate innovation, imagination, vision, what the mind of man can believe and achieve? Eff every one of you hypocritical, selfish, lusting for power, influence and money to assuage your bloated gluttonous egos "faithful to the people" public servants who believe in the God of guv'mint.

Could they turn off your power at the box from a remote operations center? In CZ9's jeep thread it showed how they were able to hack into a vehicle and take control of the electronic/mechanical systems. As wireless communication becomes faster, more infrastructure is developed and more info can be carried, the meter reader could be conceivably be replaced by technology...right? Could happen...science fiction and tin foil hat conspiracies can come true... Turn off the power in a major metro area for 30 days...wonder what would happen...

91% with my vote

Air marshal drill on the table?

Lmao

I am about done with being a law abiding citizen unless I have to walk through a metal detector...

No Rover! You might buy one for 20, but you are repairing a 60k -80k+ high line import.

ah, the good old smoke and mirrors...80% of the folks I've met in auto retail since 1992 suck. Makes it sooooo hard for the true ethical professionals and the car biz the rep it enjoys today. Not sure I'd even go back...the base will be so stripped with the pizza cutter wheels and all they're hoping you will up sell yourself to the nicer model. At this point, back away and let your emotions settle...best time to buy is when you don't need a car (which you don't) and take the time to get what you want at the deal you want. The 16s are on the way so the leftover 15s and slightly used 14s will have pretty attractive pricing.

30k, btw if they'll print you out a deal sheet and you post it, I could probably figger if you are getting fair pricing...

Wife has a 14 latitude 4 cylinder awd...no problems with it; very comfortable and driveable vehicle. We work in auto retail so she got a great pricing. The 9 speed transmission is smooth. No experience with Crown, has never been in my sales territory. Corporate coming in for a sale to me means an outside sales company - we call them gangster sales, traveling gypsies and really slick mailers to get you in. Be careful on pricing...are they working from sales price or trade difference? Looks good in your driveway doesn't it...it's called the puppy dog close..

No big deal, all these folks need to do is take responsibility and be willing to accept the consequences for their actions. Here's a novel idea...get divorced before you hook up with the next Mr. or Mrs. Rightnow... To be caught...that is American https://youtu.be/Mjyh2tgTjrQ

Kinda like the cz52 I bought last month at smkw...impulse but no buyers remorse!

I am wondering about the end result...closed down due to cost of lawsuits or wide open for any minority to legally buy a gun. This should make a liberal or two lose some sleep.

Care to share your home address and work schedule. ..lol

Be prepared to walk away from the sale...buyer or seller...getting a bad vibe, not getting that warm and fuzzy, last minute angst...walk away

What is official policy for the flag to be flown at half staff? Does the death of these servicemen qualify? They were on the job...

A white person shoots a minority = racism and a hate crime. LEO shoots a minority = profiling and use of excessive force. Minority shoots a white person or LEO = an underprivileged and troubled youth. Note the absence of facts of WHY the shooting occurred.

We are told do not judge all muslims based on the acts of the few. Why are gun owners not afforded the same courtesy...we are certainly judged based on the acts of the few deranged and criminal.

G, don't forget the money follows shortly they have control, power and influence.

It wasn't God who sent that man to kill Marines...it was the influence of Satan...I am sure these folks can pick and choose Scripture to illustrate their point of view. We're in a bad place when both believers and non-believers twist Scripture and take bits and pieces to justify their actions.

Love my 52...it's CZexy...

Buy a base model Ruger or Smith and send it to Marc at Gemini Customs...he transformed my 3" SP into a modern "heirloom"

5%-15% is a small percentage; when applied to one billion Muslims we get 50 - 150 MILLION committed to ending our way of life. Thank goodness for the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans...
