    SSO hybrid bumper, Warn winch, RCI skid trilogy, RRW sliders, everything in the cheap/free mods thread, and of course the frame recall work.
    This is our world now. The world of the electron and the switch; the beauty of the baud. We exist without nationality, skin color, or religious bias. You wage wars, murder, cheat, lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals. Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop me, but you can't stop us all.

    Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri representing! Love that video. Those types of deuchebags would run down fishing boats and folks in small sailboats and canoes regularly out there.

    Not really true. He waived the Jone's Act, which prohibits foreign ships from carrying goods between the United States and Puerto Rico. There is absolutely nothing stopping a foreign ship from bringing goods into PR so long as they come from outside the US. The problem has been getting the goods off the dock and to the people. The Jone's Act has been a red herring. Since the waiver has gone into effect there hasn't been a single foreign flagged ship that has taken advantage of it and the aid continues to pile up on the dock. There's a lot of misinformation on the Jone's Act, if you have specific questions (or just feel like arguing) shoot me a PM :)

    Seeing allot of that in many motorized recreational hobbies. People buy the "Pro" packages and assume that they have just purchased skill.

    The news I've seen is the problem is in Puerto Rico. The place was in bad shape before the hurricane. The mayor is trying to take advantage of the disaster and her fellow citizens in need to make the president look bad.
    There is no ban on foreign countries shipping goods to Puerto Rico. The Jones act bans non-US vessels from carrying cargo between US ports, this it what the president waived.
    The Jones act was passed to help the US shipping industry, instead it's killed it. There are now 93 US cargo ships. The Jones act costs Puerto Rico $1 billion a year in increased shipping costs so it's making them poorer. In Europe about 40% of cargo is moved by sea, in the US 4%.
    It's a classic example of government "help" doing far more harm than good.

    Likely there are no ships available, they don't sit around waiting for something to do.

    I thought the Jones Act made anyone born in Puerto Rico automatically a U.S.citizen, for the purpose of drafting more men to fight in WWI.

    My b-inlaw is a sailor with a big, ocean going sail boat. He swears like a sailor at power boat owners. The bigger and more powerful the boat the more he hates them, because they universally seemed to act like this dick. Oh and full disclosure, some might jump to the conclusion he's a liberal because of the "sail" boat. And they would be wrong, in his opinion Rush Limbaugh is too liberal.

    I don't know any liberals who own a large sailboat; they're all conservatives. The smaller boats seem to be split about 50-50. Most of the people I've met who own sailboats larger than 20 feet are preppers like myself, actually, with the intention of 'bugging out' in their boat if things went sideways.

    :notsure:
