Mercury Racing Pitching In To Support Hurricane Ian Recovery
 
The high-performance marine industry is stepping up for Hurricane Ian relief. https://www.speedonthewater.com/merc...-ian-recovery/

How generous
 
Mercury Racing is pitching in up to $25,000.

That's one seventh of the price of one QC4V 1550 engine.

How generous.

That's the thing about socialists. They never come across that first dollar they don't want to plunder.

This guy points out how minuscule a amount that is in the big picture and then he is called a socialist?

Geeze, there is white, black and a whole lot of shades in between.

I think it’s fantastic that Mercury donated money to Florida for hurricane relief. With that being said I’ve donated more than that in the last 2 years to the Florida economy. Sad but true.

Also i don’t think his comment came off as socialist…I think it came off as a Mercury customer who has been screwed for decades like myself over paying for parts. With a $5 billion dollar valuation…$25k seems not so news worthy.

Notice who I replied to. My comment wasn't necessarily aimed at Marcus. It certainly was "aimed" at Cheech, either, but more in agreement. But I have seen comments like his from a CRAP ton of socialists, either self- admitted or in denial. It's what they do. They always have better plans for your money than you do.

I donated $100 to the Florida effort. That is considerably less than what Marcus pointed out, percentagewise, in regard to what I very often charge on a per-piece price for the custom machined parts I make. You know what my reply back along with the receipt was? "Thank You".

Thanks. Brad.
