too bad civil forfeiture is only used against poor people.

The Keystone-XL was less than 8% complete and would have carried oil that was unsuitable for use as gasoline... turn off the Fox “news” opinion shows and read something objective about the pipeline. On a larger note, no president has the ability to single handedly impact fuel prices. Bush didn’t towards the end of his…

And if he didn’t plan on tapping into the reserves you’d complain then, too.

The unfinished pipeline is to take contaminated sandy garbage crude from Canada to have the contaminants removed and dumped in Texas before the product is shipped to China. If the Canadians want to sell it so badly - build a pipeline west in Canada and build Canadian refineries to deal with it. Hint - the investors…

At this point I am fine with it. Reagan burned the government to the ground to get re-elected and T#### did the same. Most didn’t notice that the “good times” were from cutting taxes and ramping up spending to crank the deficit and the national debt.

Why will electricity costs become as volatile as oil prices? Will battery-backed solar and wind become as subject to the whims of autocrats as fossil fuels are?

Wow insightful stuff as always Guy. 

It’s no different than Republican governors having a gas tax holiday that conveniently starts the month before the elections and ends just after elections.

I’m not assuming that at all. While switching to EVs would help the environment for sure, that’s not the point I’m making.

Found the person who buys the new iPhone right after they get done checking their apple stock value.

They’ll be driven once by the 20 year old son the oil baron bought it for and driven at top speed until it runs out of fuel, whereupon it’s abandoned in the desert.

This can also be experienced in California’s San Joaquin Valley in tule fog or a dust storm. My first thought on reading that a big rig was on fire: Good Lord, I hope nobody’s trapped in a squashed car underneath it.

Video guy is stupid, drivers are stupid. People standing on the road when cars can’t see are stupid. It’s a whole ball of stupid I can’t wrap my mind around.

Since all the tectonic plates float on magma, we all live on boats too and are not subject property tax.

not to mention actual good vehicle control. I think there should be a mandatory government-funded (i.e. free to the public) drivers’ course that teaches all drivers the limits of their vehicle as part of drivers’ ed so they understand the basics of how to react when things go south. Driving a few blocks in a circle…

For EVs, I don’t think the Postal Service has the infrastructure to support the majority of their vehicles being electric only, even half or a 3rd maybe too much right now.

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that a few people in this convoy aren’t supposed to be within 100 yards of a school.

What annoys me is how completely unoriginal, boring and lame these people tend to be. They all look the fucking same. Some middle aged pudgy white guy with a scraggly, bird’s nest looking beard, some sort of hunting or camo outfit ( Mossy oak ) a pair of Raybans, some sort of small penis compensating oversized jacked…

They really should consider renaming themselves to “The biggest bunch of losers on the planet”.
