Did I Just Hear That Correctly?

The EPA has mandated that long haul trucks must be electric by 2027?

 

Yep. While China and India are building coal power plants and every oil producing country in the world is drilling and raising the price of the oil we need to buy from them because our Red Chinese COMPRIMISED POTUS and the enemies of our Capitalist System seek to turn us into a second rate country by forcing electrical energy on us while killing the killing fossil industry. All we have to look forward to is a bankrupt country with blackouts, food shortages, riots, and defeat in another war if we don't choose to take the cowardly choice and look the other way.

Our money is going to the Ukraine to protect Joe's crimes from being exposed faster, help them fight Russia, and DEPLETE OUR ABILITY TO FIGHT A WAR to protect South Korea and Taiwan!

 

Well then by golly…. I insist that the EPA implement this deal now. That way the consuming public can feel the full impact of this economic disaster PRIOR to the next election.

 

I can’t think of a polite way to truthfully express how I feel, so I’ll just come out and say it . . .

These people are plumb stupid.

 

Wish you were right but Too many Democrats are fundamentals and think of the political party as their religion so they believe what they told and not what is in front of their eyes.

 

You DON'T fix things buy letting it happen. This country has gone down the drain since COVID. We lost the ONLY chance to come out of it with Biden's election. NO ONE ON EARTH CAN SAVE THIS COUNTRY! The truth will become very clear in the next election when China takes over Taiwan.

 

America citizens who consider themselves Democrats are not the problem. Plenty of them have become informed. It is the IGNORANT AMERICANS who have no idea what is going on all around them that are the problem. I'll defend any INFORMED DEMOCRAT who likes what Biden has done and votes for it to continue. If you believe that after a baby is born it can be put on a table and left to die I have no right to stop you from killing it when your state passes a law that allows it. If you believe that anyone can walk into a store and take under $1000 worth of merchandise with no repercussions because a democrat run state allows it, my hands are tied. If you believe the corrupt democrat POTUS is doing what he has done to protect America's workers, our borders, your safety, and your financial future, THEN YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!

...and that possibly applies to very many of the "snowflake-lurkers" reading this who do not care to comment or engage.

 

I respectfully disagree with you WUI
Publix food chain. At cash out register. Two bags of small potato chips for a dollar when Trump was President.
Last week I noticed it was two bags for three dollars and eight cents.
Democrats I believe are blinded to the truth that is in front of them. Crime/drug usage/Homelessness/ all up in their cities which means quality of life down,
The Democrats vote as if they are DWI.

 

Democrates are responsible for higher food and gas prices. Democrats along with the corrupt, old, mentally compromised "Turtle Face" Republican and his clutch of Rinos gave us the pre-election, debt-crushing, stimulus package. The voting system in this country has been corrupted by progressive liberal democrats.

As for democrats...
I have friends who are democrats. My family was democrat except for my mother. Democrats are normal Americans and many of them disavow that party when they become INFORMED. I've converted many of my acquainces; HOWEVER - and this is big- there are some lost souls who are so brainwashed like the ignorant old atheist plumber that no matter the truth you put in front of them they stay stupid.
They are under the control of fake media. Besides, if I were in their shoes and virtually everything that made me become as they are were pulled out from under me, I probably would refuse to believe it also.

 

These people who? What do they think of you?

 

These pig-headed "intellectuals" who think it's their right to mainstream their ideals, especially without first demonstrating that their proposed changes work in smaller trials, later growing the change incrementally to uncover scaling issues, so as not to drive clear off the cliff with Thelma & Louise.

Who, indeed . . . I couldn't care less what such impetuous geniuses think of me. They cannot see the errors in their ways because they're too damned self-confident to question themselves.

And NO, I'm not sorry I hurt your feelings!

Say it and UNFORTUNATELY these people will come: freshmeat, posted: "These people who?"

 

got names? or are you making this up?

got proof, and besides what is wrong with it? How does it differ from the others trying to influence the people?

they who?

My feelings are fine, don't worry your pretty lil head about my feelings.

 

And the arrogance of the economically ignorant continues to flow unabated…. Mom must have taken on a third job to keep the cable bill paid…. Sheesh.

 

When one’s experience shipping is Amazon delivering the latest thumb drive to your doorstep, your mouth exceeds your brainpan. If you have never spent your weekends studying P&L’s and cash flow reports, do yourself a favor and just stop before you show that your lack of economic know how is on par with those currently making economic decisions for this nation. If you have never asked your family to do without so you can make payroll…. Then just shut up, you are playing way out of your league.

 

I don't recall what the rules are on this place. Are you trying to insult another member? You are lying and making false attributions.

economically ignorant ??? where do you get that from? Quite the trick for dear ole mom having been dead for over 3 decades. But I appreciate her efforts!

 

P&L LOL my corporation never showed a loss. So I never had to ask the kids to suck it up. I guess that means you have more biz savvy. I have no idea what you are on about with the thumb drive and Amazon thing. Care to explain it to this poor wretched soul?

They do deliver here couple times a week. As do other vendors. Why does that have your panty bunched today?

What are you so angry about?

 

Because when a man makes a mistake, he should own up to it. Like this….. I should not have responded in anger and I apologize.

Here were are almost three years into this progressive experiment in economics and the results are mind bogglingly anemic. Yet our POTUS will tell you his plan to battle inflation is working. But he fails to use the Trump era economic metric. We are drowning in rising costs while he caters to what the low information voter will hear in a five second soundbite.

The shipping industry was turned on its ear at Covid and has still not recovered and now we want to shackle them with battery powered big rigs? Shipping costs are already hammering the cost of everything we consume in this nation and now we choose to kick this industry while it is on the ropes? What kind of folly was at the root of this decision? It was pandering to an ideology. Nothing more.

When a man fails, he owns up to it and moves on. This POTUS’ failures are hurting every American and he will not own this economic disaster. Instead, he doubles down. Yes, that does make me angry.

 

MD, everything you wrote is true, and there's a lot more detail about electrifying big rigs that's even more disheartening, but we should save that detail for another discussion.

I completely share your frustration, but we must remember . . . Joe Biden is a guy who doesn't know he's lost his balance until he hits the ground.

Our problem is not Joe Biden. Our problem is the man / woman behind the curtain. Strong-arming a feeble president into forcing change upon The People is as un-American as can be.

Our biggest issue is making sure that, in what little time remains, we identify, prosecute and imprison / exile the puppetmaster . . . he / she is the most malignant of cancers.

 

Mr. Mopar,

There You Go Again(see what I did there? Group Hug Time).

There is no need to tout your economic superiority and caustically club a Seal without considering the Seal side.

We were all young, once. Sometimes as youngsters we received an allowance from our parent(s), sometimes we didn't. Either way, kids in general didn't care about adult stuff like running a household or paying for healthcare because the kid took the allowance and spent it all on candy and got sick and kept vomiting and had continuous pooping and had to go to the Dr. because the adult was worried the kid had Flu, because the kid didn't tell the parent(s) what they did with the allowance.

Just because the person ages, and is still receiving an allowance from their parent(s), and still living with the parent(s) and still supported by the parent(s), and now has Type II Diabetes, HBP, Government economic assistance, etc., does not mean the kid is a bad kid. The kid just likes candy.

Wadayagonnado?

Have some compassion, and stop being a curmudgeon.
