First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

If the government was just worried with breaking up the protest and getting supply lines moving again, they would tow vehicles to an impound lot and arrest the drivers. Hold them for 30 days and the owner can get them out by paying a hefty fine.

Maybe a fine paid to get your vehicle out of an impound lot? 

1. Tow all of the protesting vehicles
2. Impound them for a month
3. Release from impound after paying a hefty fine

But you would choose this route over just towing the vehicles away, and they can get them back by paying a fine?

Man, if only we had clear cut case studies of emergency authorizations being used to take civil liberties away permanently...

Oh so protesting is a crime now? Are you only allowed to protest when the government says it’s okay?

You have two options:

Whether you agree with the reasons, it seems like a massive overstep to permanently seize personal vehicles of people protesting.

You better be careful bringing up gun legislation around here:

Hell, I hadn’t even looked. That is frightening. 

You’re leaving out one critical variable: Loan Length.

I picked up a 2002 Insight this weekend! It should help me to save on my commute, which is 120m/day. Between the gas costs and depreciation on our other vehicles, it think it was an all around good purchase for a whopping $3k. Impeccably maintained and tracks straight as an arrow.

That’s how it took me years before I even noticed it!

My 2004 Mustang GT has mismatched quarter panel brake duct faux-grating. One is honeycomb pattern, the other is horizontal bar pattern.

She was stunning in Uncut Jems, big yikes now. 

Well hell, I look like that about every day. 

Call me smooth brained, but I just don’t understand crypto enough to buy in.

Same, I’m in industrial systems sales. The real curveball was aluminum pipe. Holy hell has aluminum pipe taken a hit. Take 4" Sch.10 6061-T6 pipe for example. In the past, this was an item there were miles of pipe in stock at every supplier. It was dirt cheap too.
