If I were to do the van/RV life, I am now convinced that a tow vehicle and camper will be my choice.  I don’t need everything AND the kitchen sink coming at me in a crash.

Look up Dixiecrats.  It wasn’t until the 60's that the democrats got the moral high ground - LBJ signing the VRA and other things pissed off the white nationalist too much and slowly migrated to the Republicans.

Possibly, but that was also when Democrats were racist fcks.

It was never that.

winter tire = snow tire

edit

I think I agree. That is the way sipes were explained to me. Snow will actually stick to the tread where the sipes are as the wheel turns because they are filled with snow and snow falls off the tire where the “water” channels are in the tread because it is too wide.

You just did an article about snow tires and you completely ignore the benefits of the rubber compound in the winter tire. Winter tires are softer at the lower temps and keep traction better even on dry roads. The sipes and tread only work when it is wet or snowing. The softer rubber works all winter.

It is all about temperature. Winter tires stay soft in the cold and don’t skid as easily as hard rubber. The benefits improve when temp fall below 40F. The sipes and tread are for snow and ice but the rubber compound helps all winter.

The PA system has some benefits and laws have been changed so you can finally buy beer at gas stations and grocery stores and are open on Sunday. If there is a state store that has the last bottle of your favorite MD20/20 or 55 year old scotch, they have to ship it to you, across the state for free. Pa is the largest…

What about the environmental impact of resource extraction to create the _GASOLINE_? _CRUDE OIL_ and other elements that need to be _EXTRACTED_ from the Earth in (commonly) unstable (politically) countries? Is that included in the calculation? We need to change our lifestyle and car culture, but lubricants and other…

Well, driving an electric car powered by solar, as I am able to do in a de-regulated electricity state, I get rid of the the 81K Kg today, That is >95% of my CO2 from driving. It is the #1 thing that many can do now.

Here’s my math (now with better formatting):

Come out from behind the great firewall of china and see what the rest of the world sees.

There is definitely corruption, but people hardly get fuck you rich from it.

First off, Your entire first paragraph supports what I said. Personal wealth was gained from the government giving away its state owned properties. These people were either party elites or friends of them.

Yeah, I knew that. However, it wasn’t until the late 2000's when private entities even accounted for more than half of the GDP. Even then, private only means, owned by communist leaders. It was at that time that the concept of investment into private companies were allowed. Jack Ma and Alibaba didn’t start until…

Lol. You think there is any other way to get in excess of $1.4M without it being allowed by the Communist party.

There are way more poor people than rich you moron.  He probably has a corrupt job sanctioned by the gov rather than rich parents.  The accumulation of personal wealth has only been legal for less than a generation, meaning people with wealth hardly yet have an adult yet.
