Sure, I guess my point is that if you want to avoid a certain conglomerate it isn’t always particularly easy to do. Take sunglasses/glasses for example and look at Luxxotica. The second part of your post isn’t quite a good comparison IMO, while the Patriots and Steelers are both part of the...

Fair; 5 supermassive beer conglomerates and whatever local breweries have on offering.

Yes, you get to choose between 5 brands of beer.

I think that was a demonstration of the power of not knowing their demographic. The people who they were pandering to don’t drink Bud Light. People who sit in their trucks and make angry videos do. There is no overlap between the two groups.

Well it certainly makes it easy to identify people whose choice aroma is their own flatulence.

Yep. We were somewhere around $10/box for 9mm. Now it’s $19/box.

Or perhaps the point is to illustrate the “free market” concept is simply a general falsehood.

Ah yes, market competition. What a fine concept.

The secret is companies are just charging more money because they can and then blaming it on inflation.

Hard to believe anything can be that scary in something with a yeet seat. We had a company plane get turned upside-down from wake turbulence at about 3000’, courtesy of a bad vector under a 747. The pilot “completed the roll” to recover.

The P226 X-FIVE Legion just came out a couple weeks ago. I got to shoot it, it was a fantastic pistol. Buyer beware though, I’ve had several QC issues with Sig guns in the last couple years. The Barrel bolts on my MPX snapped when I tried to torque them to book spec after disassembly and...

The 2011 style pistols are very competitive and very nice. A couple of the guys I shoot USPSA with have them, and they love them.

Nice to see alumnus of the Cessna 207 moving on to bigger and better things.

In that case I am very surprised how inexpensive it is. IIRC the billing rate when I was doing medevac full-time was $100 per patient statute mile flown.

That’s a very reasonable price for the ask imo. Most light jets are going to be in the $3800-$5k/hr range.

Yep. I prefer the PMC X-Tac 55gr which normally is about $550/1000rds. The Wolf Gold is fine in a pinch too and thats usually $530. I try to buy by the case, seems to save right about 10% over buying boxes individually. My guns REALLY seem to like the X-Tac 62gr green tip but I shoot a lot of...

I buy about 1000rds of 5.56 and 1000rds of 9mm every 3-4 months, because that’s about how much I shoot. Rarely do I keep more than whatever is in my case + a couple hundred rounds on hand. I went to the ammo store a few days ago and the only cases of 5.56 they had were S&B 77gr, $950/case. Ouch...

Yep, if they think you are doing it they can test for it.

That’s more or less how most pilots view the current system, whether its correct or not.

Why would you decide to take mushrooms right before you commute to work? WTF?
