Carnival sails under the Panamanian flag and RC sails under the Bahamian flag.
Whatever flags they sail under should bail them out if they want to get money from gov

They sail under those flags to avoid paying Murican taxes. If they aren't paying in to the system, why should the system bail them out.

It’s also not “free market capitalism” if corps operate at the lowest margins because they know they’ll get bailed out by gov

We actually did take a FRZ in on trade here. I seriously considered it, but the color was wrong, and the timing was off, and it wasn't clean enough for ol' [user not found].

Had a header, exhaust, and too, and was a performance trim car with waxable calipers.

What color was it? Sounds like it would have been a :neat:

It's happening.

Cruise companies are laying off massive numbers of people. They were one of the first industries to be directly affected.

Trickle down economics works both ways.
Yup. Cruise companies operate at almost paper thin margins. I have a few acquaintances that work on global security stuff for the cruises (RC and Carnival) and they tell me any Ship NEEDS to be occupied and moving or else it loses money (kinda like airlines but worse because cruises are more niche.

Anywho, If the government does any sort of bailouts they should only bailout the cruise lines that register their ships in the United States... let Bermuda, Panama, etc bail out the rest

Hilarious. Panama ain't gonna bail nobody out.

16F this morning and the stupid centering rings and center caps I ordered don't really fit. No summers anytime soon.

How come? Did someone send the wrong part or is a quality issue ?

Detailed measurements weren't available so I took a guess on stuff that seemed close. They technically fit but they'll rattle around. The centering rings, for example, have the right ID and OD but they're not thick enough to take up the full distance between the hub and the chamfered face of the wheel.

Same kind of deal with the center caps, though I might be able to make them work if I can find some big O-rings to take up the slack and prevent rattles.

Interesting, yes makes sense. I am really wary of aftermarket issues...
