Irish, yeah they are nice when they are young - and affordable. I had friends on the East coast who raise calves until their first or second birthday and then the butcher picks 'em up and two days later you get your meat.

However, the cost isn't a problem until after the third year or so - then you can expect it to eat north of 100lbs in food and about 23 gallons of water in a single DAY.

Some folks think violence will solve all of our problems, for them, lead and copper are fundamental commodities, -what they make bullets out of- you get it now?

If it comes to that, we're all screwed even worse than we are now, because the government has and will always have bigger and badder weapons than any of us can get.

everyone calm down...

that was the reason the original stock market crash in 1929 happened. people panicked.

the country will be messy for a while, but eventually, it will right itself up.

just hang in there...

in the meantime, stop spreading rumors, spend your money wisely and best of all... calm down.

for a while, everyone was jumping for joy when dow shot over 10k. and it kept rising and people were stunned...

think in cycles.

Nice work! BTW I used to work on a dairy farm and it's no picknick. Of course we were milking more than one cow, but DAYAM.

You're right, some people do think violence will solve anything, that is why people like me invest in defensive solutions that just happen to use the same method of neutralizing a problem.

When there's a shortage of money and food, there will be violence, that's a FACT. It's just a question of how far will you go to protect your wife, your mother, father, sister, brother and other loved ones.

I think the economy will get worse after the election (no matter who wins). Financials will continue to struggle and a new administration will only cause more unrest.
