    My guess is that most folks who are open carrying are doing so to promote / exercise their rights and are being responsible about it.

    From 4 Questions About Donald Trump's Potential Conflicts Of Interest If He's Elected

    "If I become president, I couldn't care less about my company. It's peanuts. I want to use that same — up here, whatever it may be — to make America rich again, and to make America great again. I have Ivanka and Eric and Don sitting there. Run the company, kids. Have a good time. I'm going to do it for America. ... I would put it in a blind trust. Well, I don't know if it's a blind trust if Ivanka, Don and Eric run it. But — is that a blind trust? I don't know. But I would probably have my children run it with my executives. And I wouldn't ever be involved, because I wouldn't care about anything but our country. Anything."

    Do you really believe that he may let go of his businesses? I don't, and having trust in the POTUS is rathe important.

    Will Trump being president be a disaster, probably.. but at least it would shake things up and make the elite take notice how easily they can be replaced by the unsatisfied masses when the option presents itself.

    I think that is a definitely, not a probably. For all his faults Trump is a business man first and foremost. And while there is nothing wrong with being a successful business man(1) the government can't be run as a business, and to me that's the biggest issue that Trump will face. His "My way or the highway" attitude will not endear him to anyone else in power and you can't be isolationist in todays world.

    One other thing that I can't see him doing is, if he becomes President then he will have to hand over controls to all his businesses to someone else (most likely in his family.) and not have anything to do with them during his term. I can't see him giving up that control.

    1. You can argue that Trump isn't a good business man based on the simple argument that if you invested his initial wealth in the market you would have ended up with about what his current wealth is now.

    Texas land owners as well as Texas businesses prefer to hire Mexicans--illegal or otherwise for work. Drive by any gas station on a weekday morning and there are dozens of Mexicans waiting around for the white man to come and collect them in pickup trucks to go and do their thing.

    There's your self entitlement for you. Thinking that you can hire illegals and day workers for the cheapest price so that you benefit the most, but screw what it does to your local economy.

    I was thinking of starting a lawn care business, but it's impossible because the Mexicans have driven down the prices to what a white guy cannot live on. It's easy for them to live compared to us because they are willing to live in shit conditions and 8-10 in an apartment or tiny house. Who the hell want to live with their extended family? I sure as hell don't.

    And it strikes again. You have this belief that you are above living with an extended family. No matter that for 99% of humanities existence, and for 99% of the rest of the world that's just the way it is. But no, your'e too good for that.

    I work in IT in Texas--Houston area--and IT sucks here. All of the oil and gas companies have laid off so many IT people, they are now competing for the crappy jobs that remain. IT pays little here compared to other places. Austin is an IT hub, but the traffic sucks worse than Houston, it's more expensive and it's a hipster enclave.

    More judgmental complaining. Don't people have a right to be a hipster if they wish?

    I've been in IT across 3 decades and I'm seriously considering getting out, but I have no damn clue what to do since IT is all I know.

    You have a connection to most fantastic library in the entire history of the world, a truly wondrous trove of information, yet you have no clue who you really are or what you want to do. And that is your fundamental problem. You have no idea who you are. Perhaps you should take time for some introspection.
