Long time lurker, first time poster
« on: Tue, 24 July 2012, 15:11:07 »
Hey,

I guess I've been lurking for a little while, and I've finally been able to get off my butt and post.

I'm a mail sorter on graveyard shift here in Canberra, Australia. While I haven't got a mechanical keyboard at the moment (confined to a laptop for now, but will be getting a desktop once I start university (which is in a few weeks).

I'm probably going to start with Cherry switches, then go looking for a BS or ALPS board when I'm a bit more experienced.

Thank you

Any Australian GHer. Great. Welcome. So you are looking into cherrys first?
Funny thing is, I have BS and ALPS boards but no cherrys! apart from a MY.
What particular cherry switch were you looking for?

Thank you guys and girls!

I would probably get some sort of board with MX Browns - I've got flatmates, and I don't wanna wake them up with clicky Blues.

Girls?

Wow, what a concept!

Hey, with that misogynist Ripster out of the way, maybe we can get some estrogen into this man-cave once again.

Women - WE LOVE YOU! - Come on over!

We sincerely want to hear your opinions concerning keyboards and other things!

"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.
