\u201cWorld treating you well, young fellow?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cgood and bad\u2026up and down\u2026hot and cold”<\/div>\n
\u201cCome over here\u2026something for you to see.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
I had a job for Bill Brooks to do\u2026to make a special sunflower\u2026but<\/div>\n
he got me distracted right away.  Bill is a mechanic who likes<\/div>\n
to be challenged.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cTake a look at those gears\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cLook good to me\u2026what are they worth?\u2019<\/div>\n
\u201cCan you spare $3,000?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cYou mean those gears are worth $3,000?  what\u2019s wrong with them?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cLook closer\u2026.gears have been stripped\u2026\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cI have to find new or used gears like this\u2026to fit the front end of a<\/div>\n
four wheel drive Ford tractor built in the 1960\u2019s.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cAny luck?\u201d\u2019:<\/div>\n
\u201cWe can get new gears from a factory in Italy for $3,000\u2026right now we are<\/div>\n
asking around scrap yards for a used set but no luck.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cStripping the gears\u2026jamming a gear change without using the clutch\u2026that\u2019ll<\/div>\n
start the stripping\u2026.eventually the gears just will not work together any more.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
“You know something Bill\u2026\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cKnow some things.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cThe term \u2018stripping the gears\u2019 could be applied to the current big<\/div>\n
problems below the border in the United States.   A lot of gear <\/div>\n
stripping going on down there\u2026eventually the government could <\/div>\n
just not work any more.  Trump stripped the gears a lot when he <\/div>\n
was president\u2026.\u201d<\/div>\n
