It’s all because of this plus a whole bunch of other headaches. ☕

The idiots over at the European Union have basically tied a noose around their own necks and jumped off the ledge, racing toward the ground... just waiting for that sickening CRACK of a spine snapping.
When that finally happens... I’m firing up the grill for a lamb roast. 🎉

The way we used to know Spain is officially a thing of the past. 🤣
Everything in the European Union is just going to collapse like a house of cards.🎉

Kenneth Cruz67 said:I really don't think those two things are even in the same ballpark. You see, Spain is a kingdom—it's unified and indivisible—whereas the South was a federation of republics that actually held the right to self-determination, right up to the point of secession. If you're truly looking for a fair comparison, I suppose you should probably be comparing California to the Republic of Srpska Appalachia instead.

I don't see how that's relevant here. We were essentially dismantling a single, sovereign nation that was recognized by the entire international community.
The federal government had every legal right to come after us and bring us all in, one by one. ☕

Kenneth Cruz67 said:I mean, when you have thousands of protesters completely surrounding a tiny handful of police officers, it’s almost inevitable that things might get a bit physical, isn't it? I guess any police force, regardless of where they are stationed, would likely resort to using batons in a situation like that. Honestly, it might actually be better if the officers were allowed to tactically compress the crowd into an even smaller area just to maintain some semblance of control. 🤷

Well, I suppose in situations like this, the standard playbook usually involves deploying the military and rolling tanks onto the streets, followed by slapping a curfew on everyone and rounding up any politicians who dared to support the referendum.

I suppose this is all just a bit of a nothingburger for now. If you look at how those Hajduk Split fans reacted when they were up in Zilina, it seems like there's absolutely no tension at all—which might suggest that the federal government’s response is being incredibly mild, if anything. 🤷

So, what you're saying is the American People's Army had a completely legitimate right to level Chicago with FAE bombs and napalm? 👏

What’s the word from that mess of an EU regarding the photos and videos showing all that violence happening over in California? 🍿

I'm not looking for people to just guess or give me their opinions—like, "oh, you probably need this" or "maybe that." I want official confirmation from someone who actually knows.

Welcome to the grind of running a private business here in this failed state.🤣

Jessica Murphy61 said:So, I’m looking at starting a small LLC—mostly sandblasting and some polishing stuff... skipping the lacquering for now because the equipment costs would totally blow my budget.

My goal is just to pull in maybe $300-$400 a month in profit, nothing crazy.

I've already got the gear, and I think I have a handle on the paperwork to get the business registered.

But I'm stuck on one thing—the workspace. How does anyone view a setup like this with basically zero technical requirements?

See, I’ve got this old workshop on my property—it's basically an oversized shed. It’s about 11x9 meters, with 13-foot ceilings hitting up to 20 feet at the peak. Huge space. Most of it is Zidati, with just a little bit of siding. It’s on the county tax maps, but I don't have the official Certificate of Occupancy or whatever you call it. The structure was built back in '59 along with the house, but the paperwork is a mess. We managed to sort out the papers for the main house, though.
Someone offered to help me fix it for $100 by drafting a project plan, plus maybe $83 some fees to get everything legalized. Apparently, they had all the records once, but they lost them 🤦

Anyway, let's just pretend that part is handled for now.

What's next? I could probably just draw up a tiny lease agreement between myself and my LLC so the business has an official address to use.

The real headache is the zoning and building codes—does the city or the SBA care about stuff like that? Especially for a niche business like mine. I can easily install ventilation (like a dust collection system) and add a bathroom if I really need to.

Thanks, guys!

Don't do it. If you can stay off the radar for as long as possible, you should.

Steven Perez60 said:Regarding everything you mentioned, it's pretty worrying how nobody seems to be looking at the global economic and political landscape as a major factor affecting us—especially when it comes to things like the exchange rate, labor costs, and workforce mobility.

Without looking at the big picture in political discourse, you're seeing an almost unimaginable level of political naivety and shortsightedness. Not to mention, it's just plain foolish.

When you claim people don't want to work hard as an investment in the future, I have to ask: what kind of "hard work" are you actually talking about?
Is there even a single item in Tim Tim's platform that touches on a vision for development? Is there one solitary point specifying future revenue sources or investments in manufacturing, agriculture, tech... anything at all?

Nothing, right? It's just cuts, misery, bankers, and selling off whatever scraps are left.

It's shameful, if you ask me. Such a "genius" financial expert.
Man, even the most amateur entrepreneur knows what a business plan is.

And liquidating assets? That's a move for junkies and losers.

Spot on, my friend! Absolutely spot on! 👍
