Rich Boy Toy. Fun to have the option to spend your money on if you win the lottery or sell your App for millions of dollars or can hit a 95 mph fastball. Like a Rolex or a yacht or a trophy wife - mostly useless for society as a whole.

Well, are EV sales soaring (see my post above on Rolls Royce) or plummeting? The Automotive News does not seem to be able to make up its mind. The self-induced manmade disaster of the EU economy over energy and automotive propulsion laws is leading to quite a bit of human misery. Elections matter. Start deciding better, EU. https://www.autonews.com/manufacturing/suppliers/ane-record-supplier-job-cuts-clepa/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Newsletter-ANEDaily-20250117 The link is probably firewalled but maybe someone can get in to the article.

Simple, the same way the Nazis and the Japanese Imperialists were defeated politically. Via very nicely written Thank You notes written on linen paper and delivered by doves.

I know this is an editorial cartoon that is supposed to be funny and it is a little bit funny on the level of "no real progress has been made yet". However, I was really struck by the term "hostage swap". There is no possible way that the Palestinians incarcerated in Israel for criminal acts can be considered as "detained equally unreasonably and deserving of release" on par with the hostages taken by Hamas on Oct 7th. This is no way equivalent to a prisoner of war exchange and the press should not treat it as such.

And fewer grandmothers.

We need only 3 or 4 years. Just ask Al Gore and Greta Thuneberg.

Government competence restored!! Newsom solves the problem! Just like he and all the California politicians and CARB (California Air Resources Board) solved global warming via mandate: https://babylonbee.com/news/problem-solved-newsom-announces-plan-to-make-fire-illegal

I accept your feedback and acknowledge the frustration these habits of mine might cause. Many of the headlines are from a trade periodical called Automotive News - written by a bunch of journalists who have trouble with how conservative the sports media, college administrators, and DNC have become - which is a subscription only service. I actually don't get many of the full articles myself but I keep the email notifications coming to see the headlines. Sometimes I do contact others I know who have company subscriptions to get access to the body of the articles. When I refer to articles that are available to all I will be much more mindful to include links as a common courtesy. Here is the next link I was going to send to emphasize my EVs are RIch Boy Toys theme: https://www.autonews.com/bmw/rolls-royce/ane-rolls-royce-ev-expansion/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Newsletter-ANEDontMiss-20250109

Tesla learned to play the climate hoax game the best. Can't make money on cars but can certainly make money on credits made up by pencil neck geek bureaucrats that have zero impact (rounded to the 10th digit beyond the decimal) on anything to do with real physics. On this side of the ocean the climate hoax game is getting tougher for the hoaxsters. Remove the subsidies/credits/mandates/etc. and let the electric cars find their niche in the rich boy toy universe where they belong.

Nope. I was at more "horrible" high school parties and college sports victory celebrations than what happened on Jan 6th in terms of violence, destruction, police stand offs, etc. Certainly no security people waving in crowds of grandmothers who walked calmly between the velvet ropes were involved in those events.

500 cop smackings!!! This is the biggest case of police brutality brutalization in history!!! Jan 6th, 2021. The Most Deadliest Day. EVERRRRRRR.

Not new. Article from one of the leading democrats of his time over 30 years ago: https://nation.time.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2012/03/defining-deviancy-down-amereducator.pdf

EV leaders and at-risk automakers rapidly create alliances to avoid EU CO2 fines These fines are IMMENSE. Well over $1,000 per vehicle sold in the EU. Which will drive up vehicle costs, further decrease ability to pay (i.e. demand), lead to more job cuts, resulting in fewer people able to afford a car, etc. etc. This on top of the manmade climate hoax disasters driving up EU electricity costs to unimaginable rates and the recession Germany is mired in right now. There is no "normal business cycle" way out of this ideologically mandated calamity brewing. Some EU political peeps have to lose their jobs and fantasy policies rescinded very soon for further tragedy to be averted.

Don’t they need ID to deal Blackjack at the casino?

I wondered whatever happened to Pippi Longstocking.

A democratic election process to select a candidate to run for office which is ignored with impunity by democrats.

Haven’t been to jail. Thank you for the insider knowledge.

Right! Where do these geniuses think Barney the T-Rex got the carbon? Did he have a carbon generator hidden under his really short arms? The carbon was already here! Barney was simply recycling: taking carbon lying - or floating - around and using it then putting it back. Carbon fuel is organic for goodness sake.

"Much of this money can be saved simply by not being spent", Fisher said. “The Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office is sitting on big piles of money,” “The government is throwing massive sums around, but the devil is in the details,” he said . . . "believed the purpose of these programs was more about rewarding friends than solar panels or high-speed internet or EV charging.” More Hoaxing with our tax dollars. Climateers, you can believe what you want to believe, make up fake science, drive what you want to drive, and do whatever you want WITH YOUR OWN SELF AND OWN MONEY. However, to use the power of the government to declare, force, mandate, regulate, spend MY GRANDCHILDREN'S MONEY, etc. is the hoax. The EPA, DOE(nergy), DOT, DOI(nterior), etc should not be used to bludgeon Americans and be crony reward systems.

Hoaxsters gonna hoax: "Biden officials have insisted there is “no turning back” on EPA-funded programs such as the $27 billion it dished out to nonprofits via the new Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund . . . has reported that much of this money has been awarded to outfits with strong ties to the Democratic party. “The situation at the EPA is troubling – it’s not an agency that is supposed to be in the spending, or giving out money business at all,” Bakst said. “It’s not like this is a small amount of money that the EPA is doling out, and much of the money is going to the creation of what amount to slush funds for nonprofits.”

Mark Mills, the Executive Director of the National Center on Energy Analytics (NCEA). “To pull this off, you would need something like $4 trillion worth of hardware, and that’s not counting additional power plants you’d need and the national grid to handle the expected growth in power demand. You’ve also got land issues – where are you going to put all this?” In other words, the national infrastructure plan rests on an “if we build it, they will come” dream, according to auto market experts and economists. Even the people at Climate Crisis acknowledged in November that “the dream of the $25,000 EV is dead.” Physics does not abide by mandates very well. Stoopid physics.

Maybe he is deporting all of the illegal aliens from the west coast to Greenland (they have environmental there, dontchaknow? It’s right in the name) and needs to send ‘em via the canal. Then, the next batch that comes along at the border he will just put ‘em on a train to Canada who seems to love denigrating America whenever possible, you know, like allies do. But first Canada must declare itself a sanctuary state and hate America even more than California does. It’s all basic logic.

I think it is more of don’t than can’t.

Call me Psycho. Nice Stripes movie speak drop. I actually have Sawyer cousins from Rhode Island. Absolute psychos.
