[quote]Once they get to booster seat age, you can get a couple of no back boosters and it becomes much easier.[/quote] Inflatable booster seat is the way to go. You can even throw that bitch in an Uber to go to a restaurant. To the OP, get car seat bags with backpack straps on it. Reminder, ca...
[quote]Because of all of the illegals. Last few time I've been I think I was the only person that spoke English in there. Creap food places, and places like Walmart are surviving off of the illegals. They are given a shite ton of taxpayer money and to them prices aren't bad as it's high in their ...

[quote]Pearl Jam set up their own thing for one or more of their tours a while back.[/quote] Live Nation owns the lion's share of decently sized venues - which means any artist that wants to not find "alternative venues" is forced to deal with Live Nation / Ticketmaster. [quote]That's a seriou...
[quote]It seems like we still haven't found the breaking point yet. You and your friend, apparently, still purchased the tickets. Shows and concerts are still selling out across the country. People have to eventually understand that they have all of the power in the equation.[/quote] "If someone ...
[quote]I tend to be of the mindset of "if it's more than you want to spend then don't go". No one is forcing you to buy those tickets and pay those fees.[/quote] If I want to go to New York City, I'm not forced to do business with Delta.

[quote]The problem is, it's not the market dictating labor costs, you have governments supporting and mandating inflated labor wages.[/quote] In some places, sure - but not most labor markets, right? I mean, the cost of fast food labor in San Francisco doesn't really impact what it's like to w...
[quote]I think the biggest problem is labor. Unskilled and low skilled labor demanding middle class wages have thrown things seriously out of whack.[/quote] But that's as much an outcome of low unemployment for a long time, no? Aside from the 2020 blip, we've been sub 5% for most of the last 1...
[quote]The " doom and gloom " types have been warning of an impending economic recession/depression...and it is coming[/quote] They've also been warning of a recession / trying to wish one into existence for years now. Reminds me of the OT hurricane threads. Don't get me wrong - just about eve...

[quote]June/July is their winter - Belo Horizonte will be cool, the others warmer. Be careful where you go in Sao Paulo and RDJ and watch your six. Sao Paulo is enormous, the city seemed to go by forever when we landed. Another place I never want to drive again. Tentatively I'll be in the northea...
