ApplesauceBandit reacted to Donward in Post Election Thread: Democracy Dies In Darkness And You Can Help
You know, there used to be a time when the Soviets decided to influence an election, it meant an entire government would fall to the red banner of revolution; another domino having fallen.
Today the Russkies can barely scrape together the wherewithal to buy a few Facebook ads while trolling normies on Twitter.
Sad!

I seem to have come into ownership of another gun. I'll need to temporarily steal a camera from a certain someone here so I can get some better pics of my stuff sometime.

I think that's a galil in 7.62 NATO that's been tinkered with some

Looks like lots of stuff is happening, I'm stuck doing a report though. This at least seems like a decent enough summary in video form

ApplesauceBandit reacted to Collimatrix in Deceive the Credulous; Become Fabulously Wealthy
I saw the bitching about Trump's tarriff on solar panels, and it immediately set my fake news alarm off. Something about how it was being reported seemed off. So I did some digging, and found this article.
So here's the first thing that the bitching over the past couple of days has completely failed to mention; the US solar panel manufacturing industry are the ones who agitated for this tarriff in the first place! This is pretty straightforward trade protectionism; Trump is trying to keep US PV manufacturers (what few are left after the Obama Administration bloodbath) from getting annihilated by cheap Chinese imports. Whether this will work and whether this is a desirable thing to do at all are definitely debatable points, but what is not debatable is why Trump is doing this. A lot of outlets implied or outright claimed that Trump has an enormous hate-boner for green energy because he hates the environment or something equally stupid. This is a case of Trump following through on the protectionist platform he was elected on.
But wait, if US PV panel manufacturers are the ones who wanted this tariff in the first place, then why are people bitching about it?
Because only 3.2% of all US "solar jobs" involve actually making solar panels! The other people with "solar jobs" are installers or wholesalers or middle men or advocacy groups or... actually, who the hell knows how they're bulking those numbers out, but it's very clear that this "industries association" represents interests that are decidedly not industrial if they are net hurt by trade protectionism.

I actually own one, part of the reason I was curious in the first place. I've not really got any good pics of mine on hand, but it's in the low 4 digit SN range. They're well built little things, I could tell where the money went when I picked one up my first time.

Since I can't really find anything about this and a lot of you all here tend to be a bit more in the know than I am, would anyone here know if Magnum Research discontinued the Micro Desert Eagle? It first showed up in 2007 and was talked about for a few years, but seems to have disappeared by 2012. Magnum Research no longer lists the gun itself on their site, but beyond those two facts, I've got nothing else to really go off of.
