Democrats’ all-electric USPS fleet sees each truck come with a $6.8 million price tag, yes, $6.8 Million EACH. **D.C. NIFO**

Excerpt:
"A Biden administration plan to create a ‘green’ fleet of postal vehicles has churned out a mere 250 electric mail trucks in just over two years — after shelling out taxpayer funds meant to build thousands…
The nearly $10 billion project — which called for more than 35,000 battery-powered US Postal Service (USPS) vehicles to be completed by September 2028 — was funded in part by $3 billion in funding from former President Joe Biden’s 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.
(I suspect the Post item has a typo, because as you see above, the number from the USPS is 45,000, not 35,000.)
So far, the disbursed IRA funds are around $1.7 billion, which means that if Congress is able to claw back the $1.3 billion still allocated for the project, each of these 250 trucks have cost U.S. taxpayers a minimum of $6.8 million a piece—
...
The biggest issue with the program? The lucky contractor doesn’t even know what they’re doing:
‘This is the bottom line: We don’t know how to make a damn truck,’ one person involved with the manufacturing process told the Washington Post."
=================================
Your tax dollars at work ... making your enemies in D.C. wealthier while you eat dog food.

Clearly before the ROT set in!
This is what Trump is trying to give us, I know, he knows.
The rest is up to us
Maybe another Gulcher who has better recall than me can help us out here.
1. Railroad cars were diverted for Kip Chalmers 'mother's' harvest of spoiled soybeans in Louisiana while farmers in MN lost their crop pf wheat.
2. A coal train was cancelled (by The Director of Unification) to provide train cars for the Smather Bros. AZ grapefruit harvest,
and the Comet was to be cancelled so the engines could pull the 'grapefruit express.'
From AS:
"The Smather brothers bought a fruit ranch in Arizona a year ago, from a man who went bankrupt
under the Equalization of Opportunity Bill. He had owned the ranch for thirty years.
The Smather brothers were in the punchboard business the year before.
They bought the ranch by means of a loan from Washington under a project for
the reclamation of distressed areas, such as Arizona. The Smather brothers have friends in Washington."
I got to be the up hill, both ways, old dad, and loved it!
One was uprooted and took down the top 40 ft of the second one.
Go where you are treated best. Right now, that isn't the USA.
CO wants to be CA.
I wish Americans would realize they are getting the short straw all the time and act accordingly, as they do when shopping.
