So what we supposed to do? The middle and lower class can't afford gas at $7/gallon much less an EV car! Is there anybody in this administration who has a brain?

    You are so right. No one is listening to us. They just ignore everything we say. But, if we all say it together and ignore them, maybe they will catch on. Refuse the masks. Refuse the mandates. Keep saying no -- until they listen. I can see no other way. THEY won't do it.

    Yeah, go ahead and tell them. As a matter fact, go ahead and tell all the members of Congress they are in fact traitors to the Constitution . Why you at it walk up to the state department. You will be a one-man insurrection. I will believe in your tenacity. You will be right, you will be true. But just saying no does not lead to change

    The biggest problem is the Eco-Freaks are putting the cart before the horse. Trying to ram something into existence that there is insufficient infrastructure for.
    We need a Nuke Plant in every State before this BullShit has a prayer of actually being economically feasible.

    OMFG... EV will never bring cost savings.
    It will, however drive home electricity bills up.
    In FL, we have two rates. Below 750kwh at the "cheap rate", and a more expensive rate above that. This is to let our retirees be able to have lights, etc...

    Personally, I manage my electric bill pretty tightly, I can go over the 750, but I also work out of the house, and like the A/C... That said, I am confident I have some of the lowest bills on the block. [FPL refused to install an A/C shutoff for the extra savings monthly, because my monthly bill was too low... LOL]

    Anyways, Vehicles will be like everything else in the future. Too expensive to own.
    But those Johnny Cabs (Self Driving) will replace all of the Ubers. And when this happens, FLEET vehicles, like AVIS, will have cars that pick you up at the airport, and drop you off at the hotel.

    But when not rented, they can serve as self-driving Uber type vehicles.
    Of course, this just destroys another low-level (entry-level) profession...

    The upside... It will destroy Auto Insurance Companies (who needs them if the AI has to be insured). Then, because of the lack of fender benders from car to car communication. The body shops will go away (also completing our progression to a use and refuse society that never fixes anything).

    Once Auto Insurance goes away, I fear home owners insurance will no longer be affordable.
    No worries, because homes wont be too affordable.

    Hmmm... I think I will re-watch that movie In Time... (Justin Timberlake and House's #13)...

    Just tell them no. They do not have the power to change it without the Congress. Don't believe or abide by what they say.

    Yes and no..
    The constant (Constitution) is in fact unchanging. But when you have one set of Justices interpreting it (Constitution) allowing say, abortion rights, one way, then a different set of justices not allowing it, then what was considered unchangeable is now changeable.
    By the way, this is how the priests of Christianity in the first 2000 years post-Christ, instituted altruism as an expected given. Power over the "uneducated". They interpreted, the masses swallowed.

    I think that is what the politicians want us to believe. The Constitution does not change by the Supreme Court's interpretation; they want us to think that it does. They are only supposed to say whether or not something is Constitutional -- not to interpret the Constitution.

    I've been listening to the radio in the car and the workshop all day yesterday and Biden's speech regarding Russian oil has been played or quoted all day. I've seen much as you have in writing and on the news this morning.

    I will be happy to cite, but now, after biden's speech yesterday, citing is a moot point. I read a number of pieces from The Blaze, Newsmax, Epoch Times, PJ Media, The Western Journal, to name a very few. Some are more left, some are more right, but most have very individual takes on many subjects, and articles that cover subjects considered untouchable by msm.

    And the entire power of 'interpretation' is not a power granted in the Constitution.
    It was 'interpreted' itself by the very people who derive their power from their own interpretation.
    The SCOTUS has been corrupt for more than 2 centuries.
    The power to declare laws unconstitutional has destroyed the balance of power between states
    and the federal government that was a vital and primary part of the design of the constitution.

    Slight disagreement. The SCOTUS interprets a law in relation to the Constitution. So the SCOTUS indirectly interprets the Constitution as their philosophy mandates. The Constitution is nuanced from generation to generation thru interpretation. In reality, how many of the post Bill of Rights Amendments could have easily be fit into one of the initial ten? Congress passes the law, but if challenged, the SCOTUS interprets as it currently sees fit. One misinterpretation influences future references thus poisoning the original intent.

    Before arrests all the $ laundering and their source of funding must be cut off , irrefutable evidence gathered and a fair and balance trial. The enemy is the eQuivelent of the Hydra.. the whole body must be destroyed all at the same time. Certainly a task that needs to be executed with special operations precision. ThanQ Chris Miller.

    FLASHBACK: Trump predicted Biden victory means higher prices for gas at the pump

    In a Simpsons-did-it moment the former president predicted higher fuel prices should Biden be elected.

    “If Biden got in, you'd be paying $7, $8, $9, then they'll say, 'Get rid of your car.’” Trump said during a rally on the campaign trail.

    How about if we have Russia president and the Ukraine president fight MMA style. That would be a blast to watch.

    Actually, they still do not have the power. That would require a change in the Constitution. All we have to do is to say "No."
