"Jeep in a Box"
by Reddit User @Proteon https://www.reddit.com/user/Proteon
Top Comment by [–]BigODetroit 770 points 5 hours ago*
"There are so many scams involving this that go back to post WWII. Jeeps were sent Europe in crates like this. After the war there were surplus Jeeps available, but the demand was huge. A lot of the soldiers returning home wanted one. This gave birth to the CJ2.
You would find ads on the back of Popular Mechanics or a local newspaper advertising crate Jeeps for $50. They were surplus and all you had to do was assemble it using common household tools, but it was all fake. You'd go down to the local port or a warehouse where these crate Jeeps were being advertised. The would be a plant in the crowd who would yell out, "but how do we know there's a Jeep in there?" To which the seller would tell the guy to pick out any crate and it'll be opened. Lo and behold, the crate would be opened and this beautiful new Jeep would be inside.
So all the people there would plunk down $50. These sales we're usually held on Sundays when the warehouses and the docks would be closed. The buyers were told to come back tomorrow and the stevedores would load it up for you. Monday came around and the crates would be loaded up. When opened, the crate usually contained a couple of boulders. I'm really into old classic Jeeps and have a CJ5 of my own. It's not uncommon for classic Jeep message boards to get a post every so often about WWII crate jeeps. Somebody posts about a newly rediscovered a stock of surplus Jeeps at a warehouse in Arizona. I've seen prices as low as $50 and some as high as $500. Even still, $500 for a NOS Willys is a hell of a deal. Too good to be true, and it really is.
Today, there is something similar involving Humvees. The best place to get one is planetgov. Most start at $5k, but these have the 6.2 litre diesel that has an engine block prone to cracks and failure."

"Men who signed the Declaration of Independence / Their descendants 241 years later"
(Disclaimer: Not EXACT descendents and its an Ancestry.com ad and they dont match the exact person but they are alll descendants of founding fathers!)

When I did research I felt kind of bamboozled. The people in the picture are not the direct descendants of the person they're replacing in the picture painting. For example there are several descendants of Jefferson in the photo and well as several Livingstons. It's also an ad for ancestry.com. But despite all of this it's still very interesting. Here's an article about the ad.
"When you see the new picture, the new image, it's a picture of diverse people. Black, white, Hispanic, Native American -- a little bit of everything -- Asian, and that's more of a representation of this country," said Shannon Lanier, the sixth great-grandson of President Thomas Jefferson.
Andrea Livingston is half Filipino. She recently learned she's the eighth great granddaughter of Philip Livingston.
"It is a point of pride, but I think we have a long way to go. The ideas that they were creating, the ideas that they were putting into words, we still need to strive to make those ideas real," Livingston said.

"This was posted about a week ago, and it was agreed that the artist uses photoshop and other computer tools to get the effect. So, still cool, but they didn't exactly do this with just pen and paper."

Stay strong venezuela! http://www.steemit.com/trending/venezuela We should alll go upvote all the posts there and help all the new venezuelans on steemit! Steem will be their new national currency! See how reddit doesn't help anyone but actually makes MONEY OFF the misery of venezuelans WITHOUT sharing any of the ad revenue reddit.com generates While with Steemit this person could have been from venezuela and actually post this image and get rewarded with steem that they could use to feed themselves! STeemit is the real answer and we can't fuk around with shit like Reddit and their systemof theft of user submitted content without sharing ANY of the revenue! Steemit can create REAL solutions to the worlds problems while reddit simply greedily takes all the money they make from their users content and doesnt share 1 dime with them!
I didn't mean to have such a serious political anti socialism message at the end here but Socialism and the leftist cultural marxists (who also live on reddit) who promote welfare and state run bullshit are what leads to food shrotages in Venezuela...These people think Bernie Sander's massive government work programs with fifteen dollar an hour jobs is better than free market and actual high paying job....they REFUSE to see Venezuela as the RESULT of their own policies! they REFUSE to accept the fundamental flaw of people on the left who honestly believe in socialism and that noone deserves to make over $100,000 a year...crazy people who want to destroy any incentive to build a business, who don't understand that a billionaire like Trump or Bezos or Elon Musk CREATED the wealth they have now! trmp built buildings and created spaces to rent out that didnt exist before! Jeff Bezos built a 400 billion dollar company Amazon.com and created a trillion dollar online market that didnt even exist before! Factories like Tesla Motors and SpaceX CREATE BILLIONS of dollars worth of electric luxury cars and rocket motors and spaceships! Those cars and rockets didnt exist before Tesla built them! Elon Musk didnt STEAL those billions he made...he didnt screw anyone over....Billionaires CREATE wealth! they dont STEAL it from others! Sure some are bankers who do steal and use derivatives or straight up print money and use inflation as a secret tax on everyone...but those are the ones pushing centralized communist/socialist contrl systems to begin with!
To address this simple point bout WHY "socialism" or ANy sort is pure evil, good intentions or not, @policyed on Youtube made an amazing Animation called "It's a Wonderful Loaf" EXACTLY aboutthe problems Venezuela faces and how you CANT set prices and run bakeries froom a central planing committee, you have to let the free market just happen and the more you try to run peoples lives the worse their lives become! I really don't care if your "intentions" are to help people, because you end up KILLING MILLIONS and you MUST accept that socialism just leads to venezuela style chaos and I'm not going to let people risk bringing that shit into ANY more countries! I try to not be political on steemit but people are DYING and crypto currency is the answer! We should also be flying drones into venezuela full of food, using the same drone submarines drug dealers use to go from south america north we can send stuff from the north down to venezuela! We can use technology to send food to venezuela and allow venezuelans to pay us via bitcoin and steem to fly ddrones and deliver food!
If you have questions about bitcoin steemit crypto or making money mining like this email [email protected] or text/call me (619) 302 0398 and....

also we can do this with blackjack!

White Pawn h2->h4

did u know that when Pizaro conqeuerd the Inca he had the inca king play him a game of chess and inca king already knew the game! How could they BOOTH know chesss How OLD is chess>
"The history of chess can be traced back nearly 1500 years, although the earliest origins are uncertain. The earliest predecessor of the game probably originated in India, before the 6th century AD; a minority of historians believe the game originated in China. From India, the game spread to Persia."
maybe we should play chess 4 !!!
we can do FOUR player chess!!!!!
Wht Knt g1->e2
Good stuff! Agree with you entirely. Let the people be truly free to pursue their goals without having to carry the bureaucracy on their backs. Upvoted 100%.
Get rid of the socialist pigs amen!
They will have no support when there are no more poor people in thee world! Once everyone is in the middle class only the very mentally ill and entitled people will be asking for handouts and wealth redistribution haha tthey have a problem with ALL of civilization! they think we should all go back to living in mud huts OH WAIt no thats too much technology for them! they honestly want to abolish all symbolic thought.....they believe all of language is evil and capitalism is their word to describe the entire free market...they seem to have NO problem condensing THOUSANDS of years of human history and labor and pasion into just one fucking label "capitalism" as if that makes it evil...as if China and India didnt bring 2 billion human beings out of misery and poverty into the modern world with dreams nd hopes and jesus christ its jst so sad...people with real compassion are the ones who create Jobs for humanity.....
@dan and @jesta and @cryptoctopus and @thejohalfiles and all the whales and developers and early investors into this platform are on par withthe FOunding Fathers of the United States and the SIgners of the decelarion of Indepnedence! I knoww we have had a Deceleration of independence of cyber space since the 90s but steemit.com has fulfillied this ream of a fully decentralized internet! steemit net can be a reality! We can also bbe using TOR and other tools to connect to steemit through! steem blockchain should br run on eevery toaster and microwave we can get our hands on! witness nodes everywhre! i want snapshots of the entire bockchain every week or month so incase anythig ever happened we could resurect the entire system redistribute all the steem based on what everyone had before a possible catapshooy...
well i guess we dont have to worry about that....But I just feel like we can REALLY develop steemit if we all contribute to a new Developer Fund where we can seek out EXPERIENCED Programmers and web dveelopers who can learn Graphene and grasp the bigger picture of Bitshares and EOS and they will ned to be paid alot of money but we shoul convince them that steemit will pay them!
OR we just pay them a paycheck and we make money of their work bby posting it ourselves! i think thats fair, i rather the developers naturally work for steemBUT i cant expect a developer to work without a STEADY paycheck
so lets donate to a pool and pay for a TOP developer maybe like in India or Philippines who can be paid like $40,000 which would be equivalent if like $200,000 n the US and lets get a developer to do upgrades to steemit or create upgardes for busy.org or for chainBB i want all sorts of upgrades and bells and whistles for steemit! i want a ebay style marketplaces , i want a CRM and i want a CMS (content management system) and i want new ways to chat in real time with steemit users, i want an option to send a message for a micropayment! I think you can already send 0.001 Steem as the smallest amount and u can use it as a message system when u add the message as a emo! ucan FORCE someone to see ur message that way! ppeopel pay attenton when u send em money! an micrppayments ad up!
anyway i have big plans and i want to raise money to pay developers to increase the amount of features on steemit like stack exge style answering of support tickets from ANy website ! We could allow customer support to be a freemarket ! wwhere anyone can answer support tickets and get paid for it! the company just buys steempower and upvotes the best answers and peopel who seem to have a knack for their products!
"See how reddit doesn't help anyone but actually makes MONEY OFF the misery of venezuelans" wow, never thought of it that way. That's really fucked up.
