Buydem Admin. Just Outlawed Trucks - D.C. NIFO

Excerpt:
"The federal regulatory apparat – which has become an unelected legislature – has just decreed that there will be no new trucks by less than a decade from now.

“Decreed” in italics because that is precisely what has just happened.

No law was passed, but last week, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (note the blasé bureaucratic terminology; it is just an “administration,” ands yet it does a great deal more than merely administering) decreed that by 2032, new vehicles must average at least 58 miles-per-gallon.

As of today, there isn’t single new car available that can comply with this decree. “Comply” in italics to mark the outrageousness of the “administration” of such decrees, which no one in this “democracy” of ours ever had a chance to vote for – or against."
-------------------------------------------------------
58 mpg DEMANDED by a bureaucracy that has no power to do so.
But the FAKE accepted mpg of a TINY electric vehicle might achieve 58mpgE because the unelected tyrannical bureaucrats say it does.
And IF WE, the People don't resist, THAT is the end of gasoline vehicles and the end of free travel in America for We, the People.
These are unconstitutional actions by traitors who want tyrannical powers over all of US.
I will NOT comply. I will NOT consent.
D.C. is a corrupt tyranny that can't be peacefully reformed.
NIFO

    One of my F-250s is for sale right now. Maybe it’s time to mothball it so 10 years from now I can point and laugh.
    The Big Rig guys figured out how to get around stuff like this. Called GLIDERS. You southern truck owners need to start striking deals with us northerners. You got good chassis. We got good drivetrains. Let’s make a deal.

    A coal or natural gas powered automobile is still using hydrocarbon fuels. Emitting beautiful CO 2 our plants and trees love and need to flourish. That said, all the Deep State criminality in the world is not going to steal our beloved pickups from the hands of honest hardworking patriots that allow this country function at its most fundamental level.
    The criminal retard who stole the 2020 election must go. Don’t care how. Our survival as a people and a nation depends on his immediate removal.

    Cancer must be cauterized. Political surgery is a waste of time. As one of us says, NIFO!

    Really, really, good diesel engines!!! not so crazy about the trucks (at least the new ones, the old square ones were cool). People put them in Fords and call them Frummins.

    My only diesel is a Kubota 3-cyl in my Walker Mower. Indestructible! Sometimes I run it on vegetable oil I get from people here and there. Smells like french fries while mowing.

    Rudolph Diesel was quite an inventor. He proposed farmers operate his engines from vegetable oil they grow, His first demonstrations in Paris were with peanut oil. Had financial issues, and disappeared crossing the English Channel in a boat. No one knows what happened.

    We have a couple of first-generation Dodge Cummins pickups. At Walmart a fellow said to me, "That's a 92, right? I had one of those, but like an idiot i sold it. Wanna sell me yours?"

    My answer: "Do I look like an idiot?"

    That getting a tail wheel sign off is interesting. I learned to fly in a 1940 Cub while stationed in Okinawa in 1965. We call that 'conventional gear' as opposed to the 'tricycle gear' on more modern a/c. It did not occur to me until years later that people who learned in a tricycle would have a problem transitioning to conventional gear and have to have a sign off to fly one.

    Well, being someone who has kept 3 vehicles for 20+yrs after the date they were made (bought 2 used)... And I hope to keep this one (9yrs old, for the rest of my life)...

    I could see them hanging onto those trucks from their 40s - 60s.

    Unlike EVs, and ICE can be well-maintained for a long time.

    Also, the incompetence of our government, and any reasonable Texas governor... Will likely find a way around it... Including making quadruple the inventory in the last year... And then just selling them as new...

    But we should be fighting this. But it's almost as if the people pushing insanity are purposefully having the media IGNORE IT, to scream at the top of their lungs about "distractions" like Tucker alluded to... (Strange.... Or... Planned...)

    E. P. nails it again. Unelected bureaucrats mantra: Politicians come and go but we are here forever.

    This is why it's so hard to identify who's in charge in the WH. It's a hydra of bureaucrats.

    The game is “Whack a Mole”. It will not stop, but we can try to reduce the magnitude each cycle in the US or Gulch

    My dad's first airplane was a Champ. Then went to a Citaboria. I soloed in a 150 Areobat but got my tailwheel sign off in a 42 Cub.

    Oh, yes, the reason NZ gets inexpensive Japanese used cars for import is the Japanese government
    has high taxes on Japan residents keeping older cars (to 'encourage' buying new Japanese cars.)

    Well who would advocate to fix a rule in their favor? No business person is that “virtuous”.

    The Japs are just as bad, limiting food imports.

    16th Amendment was put in place 100% by republicans. I still vote that way most of the time because it is the best answer for most of what I support.

    Anything electric won't work after the EMP then the basic stuff will work like a lawnmower. But there won't be any grass to mow.

    He is highly skilled at using the very "obscenity" that Liberals hate against them to purge their pent up rage and anger over their own self-restriction. They have contempt and hatred for the Rrrrrrracists, yet Tarantino makes films peppered with racial slurs which makes them laugh. He's a psychotherapist of film for Libtards.

    Looks like a decent engine. Call these guys:

    Toyota irritatingly got behind hydrogen, which makes absolutely no sense. This really irritated me. They have had to eat those words, along with BMW and Mercedes. Back to physics and reality. Separately people's ridiculous claims about their reliability drive me nuts. My sister in laws stupid boring Camry died with a failed water pump, and then cracked head. That statistic will never get recorded by bought-and-paid Consumer Reports.

    They are fine, nothing special. Last company to get rid of carburetors, with their "awesome" Japanese technology. I like that they held on to inline six's and independent rear wheel drive longer than others (exc. BMW), and their torsion bar suspensions on small trucks.

    My brother's wife drive a lot. 350K miles on her Chrysler 300C. Replaced because it was old, ran fine. My 1990 Mustang ran perfectly with 270K miles. Absolutely, no problems. Cars fail these days because you don't take care of them or you buy a stupid model. Modern engines run longer than you want the unmaintainable interior and body, if you take care of them.
