Corn ethanol is the boondoggle of all boondoggles, handing out our taxes to agribusinesses for something we don’t need or want, and actively HORRIBLE for the environment, soil, water use as they mine groundwater, and SO much more...
You might remember as a kid reading National Geographic and the like and seeing

Yes, the process is worse. Every piece of equipment that farms the corn runs on fossil fuels. Ethanol absorbs water like a sponge so if you want to transport it in a pipeline, it has to be an ethanol-only pipeline which means that real-world, most ethanol is shipped by fossil fuel-burning trucks and trains. Ethanol

You have to grind the corn before it’s fed to cattle or else they quite literally shit out the value.

Except the Japanese didn’t blatantly steal IP, didn’t use slave labor to make their cars, and as we saw- put a huge amount of emphasis in the long term durability of the cars themselves. There are many videos showing BYD’s randomly catching fire all over China so not sure we really “ need” these things.

They use literal slaves in the manufacturing of their EVs. You don’t think that’s a problem? Not buying a car because slaves built it is not the same as not buying a Japanese car because you fought a war against them. 

My god I HATE welfare farming. The farm subsidies unconscionable. Paying people to not farm or giving away money for relatives of corn farmers is horrid. I am so mad at maga farmers that would let poor children starve as long as they get their welfare farming check from the government they hate so bad they are trying

Do they actually want Chinese EVs or do they simply want more cheap EV offerings?

It’s probably better for you, and the glass bottle is nice. But I blind taste tested my brother when he wouldn’t shut up about it, and I promise you can’t taste the difference.

idk, planes keep flying over it like they already do? 

We are on our second Travel Trailer, Paid cash for both and bought both used.

Musk fired the product testing department.

An NX-F would be interesting.  

The content was more on the social structure of capitalism rather than the merits or faults. This structure, which was somewhat dismantled in the early-mid twentieth century through laws and trade unions, has rebuilt itself with a vengeance in the late twentieth century where so few (the 1 percenters) own the means of

Guilt by association is the shitty part of owning one of these, regardless of how much fun one would be. But buying a Maser is just self-inflicted abuse. 

Seriously. Trojans are cheap.

Somewhere an Arby’s is missing their meats.

Why do people buy them? Constantly it seems.

This MBA was required to read Marx in college.  I’m glad I did.  He explained the very foundation of capitalism.

Keeping as many people as possible in a poverty level that’s low enough for them to have to take out high-interest loans for everything, but not so low that they become a burden to the system, is the entire function of Capitalism.
