This feels like trains but with more work.

And it will be the Democrats fault!  Because facts.

“Sob! Weep! We have to make EVs for our biggest sales markets where buyers are looking for smaller and more economical cars! Sob! Weep!”

Trump is of the school of thought that says that the only way the U.S. becomes competitive with China in the world export market is if we turn the entire country into a toxic dump. If people’s fingernails start peeling off 10 years from now, and their hair comes out in big clumps, and their children are born with…

Is that why BYD is now the #9 car manufacturer worldwide by units sold and is closing in on Ford at #8?

Nah, fuck that. This is entirely Toyota’s fault.

Facts, shmacts. You can use facts to prove anything that’s remotely true.

The US throws tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber just about every other year despite NAFTA and the WTO ruling in Canada’s favour every time.

“We will restore US energy dominance”

Seems like they should at least use the same container format used in every other form of freight transport.

the next 4 years will be awesome, I can already tell!

I guess if there's one country that can make this work... But maybe could try running light cars over rails at night when trains are not running 

Yeah, obviously you wouldn’t use the same lines (or technology) for freight and high speed rail — it would have to be a separate, parallel network. I guess I’m surprised to hear that most of their freight goes by road, when trains are such an iconic part of Japan’s image. (As you say, though, passenger trains may just…

Yeah, it blows my mind.  Even full size pickups and SUVs should require advanced licensing but apparently the country is more worried about kids drinking Bud Light and becoming Trans.

What about retirees hopping into a 60,000lb RV coach with zero training?

Can we all get on the same page that drivers should have some large truck training before being allowed to rent a full-size box truck? These things take significantly more effort, attention, and anticipation to drive than passenger vehicles and it blows my mind that some random average (moron) driver can hop from…
