  1. 🙂  Sure the government could.help supply issues + prices.

    1.)  Open pipe lines.

    2.) Accelerated permits to build.a new refinery.on the.East coast.

    3 ) Tax Credits for a new refinery.

    4.)  Arctic oil drilling permits.

    5.) Loosen emission requirements.

    6.)  Permits for.exploration any where.

    7.) Tax incentives for exploration.

    8.) Tax incentives for alternate fuels.

    The list is long for ways to encourage the energy producers.

    Could go a step further for energy conservation.  In Jimmy Carters era, the feds allowed High MPG Cars into the country that weren't  federalised. . . 

    Conservation....

    Europe / Italy mandates new furnaces / boilers every twenty years with BAT for hi efficiency.

    Feds are JUST starting to talk mandating super hi efficiency boilers, sometime around 2029...  This has been used in Europe for 20 years....  So. we play catch up.

     

    Want a Real Solution ..  Let the professionals do their job!  .. Adopt a Laissez  Faire attitude..... Free Enterprise with free reins  will flourish and amaze you with new solutions . . . . Less Government, more solutions. . .:)

    I,m ready to buy a lot of different stuff at a fair and reasonable price. Anyone know where I can buy a like new, low mileage truck, in Ontario, Canada, at a repo price ? i see all the scam adds, but where can you actally buy a real one ? I talked to my local bank manager, but he says that is all handled by Toronto, which is a PITA to deal with. The vehicles all go off to auction.

    That's the problem, few Banks sell repo vehicles by sealed bids.  Try all the smaller banks.

    Most go to auction houses, where only licensed dealers can bid.  Possibly you could buy a dealers plate for entrance?

    Yeah but that would never happen today. The government is here to help us and give us free tuition, monthly paychecks, and free health care. All we have to do is give up some freedom. It won't hurt much

    Sounds like an exam by your local  Proctologist using a post hole auger.   Ouch!

  4. YES, let's abolish the whole Constitution while we're at it!

    And fabricate  more modern camps than Dachau and Auscheitz

    And more tanks to run over political dissidents . . .

    Wow . .  we could build a darker world than my grandparents fought to escape from.. 

    Gifted Fools   :finger:

    The founders fought to protect us from fools + Tyranny.

    Music from my age group was always about the young and in love, it was based on Romance, intimacy and even marriage and having kids, what ever happened?

    Easy ...  we crap talk the cops, shoot people, talk violence ,  cry its unfair, blame someone else . . .

    Disco + easy loving  were easier on the ears

  6. Rising Interest Rates  . . How will it affect your Real Estate purchases?

    1.)  Will you shop / buy a new home?

    2.)  Will you put your home on the market?

    Mine's going on the market Monday... Curious, how cash v. Conventional buyers will be affected, if at all.

    Realtors keep telling me there is little or no inventory.

    Unfortunately, I find nothing exciting on the market....Still, time to move.

    If SHE'S doing the detailing at home, I might suggest a product that has a shorter life span. . .

    Wouldn’t easy access to counterfeit money help poor people live and help women afford abortions?

     

    Wouldn't  a  GOLD card be easier. . 

    Why not throw in a Ferrari for every school kid ,  or maybe a bargain basement Aston Martin . . .

    I occasionally light firecrackers one at a time to scare em. It dupes the neighbors when I use the 22.

     Excellent  defense/ screen from neighborhood rats 

  10. Roe v. Wade may not have the same implications it had in the 1960's + early 1970's, . . .  

    Back then there were botched up back room abortions, . .  Coat hangers . . .and the well too do. Leaving the area.

    Hell, with UTube instructions and a  home procedure kit from an online vendor, almost anyone could do a home abortion in the comforts of their home.  Probably be quicker and cheaper!

    Maybe people are missing the silver lining.

  11. It certainly would be at our interests to Federalize the nuclear reactors, and let The Department of the NAVY, run them in the same manor as they operate their boats...  Atomic boats are used with out incident.

    Next, time to start designing the next generation of power plants.

    France has a very interesting nuclear power program . . .

    We're going to need more electricity to charge the yuppies Porsche and Range Rovers . . .

  12. Maybe over kill....  But I followed Polaris's recommendations. since my first new Indy 400 . . 

    1.  Treat fuel.

    2. Run to get treated fuel in carbs.

    3.  Fog engine ..

    4.  Pull spark plugs + 1 Oz oil per cylinder.   Slowly turn over by hand to distribute oil.

    Reinstall spark plugs. 

    5.  Drain carburetors 

    6. Drain fuel tank / seal inlets.

    7.  Steel wool in exhaust tail pipe.  

    Cover exhaust discharge with small can.

    Cover / seal Airbox to keep mice out.

    8. Silicone spray engine compartment.

    9.  Silicone spray undercarriage.

    10.  Wax hood.

    11.  303 / protector on seat.

    12.  Cover with clean sheets.

    13.  Start by washing sled

  13. Leak or not, it's intent is to sway the court with public outcry and pressure.

    Bernie Sanders is right on, wanting immediate  federal laws passed to protect abortion rights.

    The Constitution was written to protect citizens from big government, not to have it infringe on personal liberty.  

    Reality Check . . . Put the issue to ballot!  Let the women vote 🗳 on the policies affecting them.

    It makes sense that the next chassis would just get into the ballpark. This was the chassis that should have come out a few years ago. It's been rumored to be in development for so long, and so many of the engineers were sent packing since textron so graciously "saved" the brand, that it may be like the new 800 when it came out - a step up for Cat but late to the game and behind.

    But given who is calling the shots I'm not expecting too much.

    Good that there are now reports of people seeing this chassis and riding it instead of just rumors. Still no one is really talking - it's all I know someone who has seen it. Hope textron proves us all wrong.

    Sure would be encouraging too see some dash cam / helmet cam images.

    Was hoping to see some WOW Prototype on the 19th...  but that materialize after the big wait.
