Again - hope all who wanted this admin is having “voters remorse”.

June/July of 08 National average for reg was just over $4 a gallon, right before the crash. Diesel around us was running right at $5 then, and my wife's AMG SLK took 93 that was also at that price. It was crazy then to, remember going to work for about 6 hours one day and coming back, went up 0.6 in that time!

Not that i'm complaining cause i love speed and have a lead foot most times LOL I think in the last month I've hit the speed limiter on my Avalanche 3-4 times getting to work
About 6 years ago on the same road DrFeelGood is talking about I had a Prious pass me, used to every day. One day I thought I would catch up with him, he was running right at 105, didn't even know those things could go that fast.

Then when it gets some miles on it, maintenance cost will be high and I will not be able to work on it. Local garages won’t be able to work on it either. The trucks that haul our supplies and food 500+ miles a day going to be electric also?

I’m not against electric cars. I try to be open minded. The idea will work well in some areas and for some people. Not so good where I live.
The power grid isn't ready for the mass-charging of electric vehicles. Hell, look at California... the state can't even handle its power needs on a good day! Can you imagine what it will be like when a quarter of the state population moves to electric vehicles? And that's just California.

Keys to sustainable usage of electric vehicle adoption:

1. Wide-scale/massive scale adoption of nuclear power.
2. Massive upgrades to the transmission infrastructure.
3. A real, workable solution for recycling batteries to keep from depleting resources and reduce hazardous waste.

Even with the above, fossil fuels will be required for the long term. The upgrades needed will take years upon years to build into what's needed for mass-scale adoption. This is a conversation for 50-75 years from now. We are not ready now and will not be ready in our lifetimes. These idiots thinking otherwise need to get their heads out of their collective asses. And I'm a fan of electric vehicles.

People are suffering, right now, for an agenda that is a complete political sham and for things that are just not possible.

Come to Virginia Beach - they're busy here. The Virginia State Police was out in force Monday morning running a collective effort to make one part with their money while trying to get to work. All right around the main work hub for many in the city (near VB Town Center).

Fake an invasion and offer free bus tickets to the great white north?

Guess they could stay put and call 911😂

Angry

Democrats have and always will be a bunch of pu$$ies.
Just go outside, they`re the one scared of the sniffle virus, still wearing useless masks when they don`t have to , still driving around or walking outside with masks on... mostly paper pushers, no democrats do things like military, police , fireman, logger, any manual work unless they`ve been brainwashed by some union organizer , they drive lame a$$ cars like toyotas and minivans.
Only thing they`re good at is ruining everything for the hard working , tough people of the USA.
Spend their time trying to come up with new things that offend them, telling everyone there`s more than 2 sexes, they burn and destroy cities, cause most of the crime, live off the rest of us hard working americans and now because of them this entire country is going down the $hitter.
Liberalism is a disease and most of the problem is they`re fuc king dumb!
No smart person would get rid of Trump and replace him with this imbecile.

rant over .
