  1. “In a Democratic National Committee press call on Tuesday night, several party surrogates called Kennedy's presidential bid "disgusting" and a ploy to reelect Trump. "All he can do is take away votes from President Biden and make it easier for Donald Trump to win. And we simply can't afford to let that happen," said Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. Austin Davis.” https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/democrats-sound-alarm-rfk-jr-new-running-mate/story?id=108543625 Sound like they are craping their collective pants Fact enough for you?
  2. I tried to warn folks, I hope they heeded my counsel.
  3. So why are the Ds so afraid? https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/4550916-why-are-the-democrats-suddenly-so-petrified-of-rfk-jr/
  4. 180.79 USD-67.63 (-27.22%)year to date ouch!
  5. Looks like he is polling around ten percent, drawing largely from left leaning voters. Could RFJ Jr. be Biden’s Ross Perot?
  6. Just like that yacht tax https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/business/1993/07/16/how-to-sink-an-industry-and-not-soak-the-rich/08ea5310-4a4b-4674-ab88-fad8c42cf55b/
  7. Joe, “greedy free market capitalism dominated by pseudo monopolies that aren’t restrained from raising prices” existed long before the inflation we are experiencing today. The variable is the giant money party the Ds threw via the American Rescue Plan and the ironically named Inflation Reduction Act.
  8. An Inconvenient Truth didn’t age so well Wendy, now did it? More facts: https://capitalresearch.org/article/al-gores-30-years-of-climate-errors-part-2/
  9. I’ll take the word of a Nobel Prize laureate over a “funny or die” video any day, but that’s just me.
  10. This encapsulates what I have been saying for the last decade + Please watch and comment
  11. Except electric car technology is more than a century old.
  12. You’ve probably never heard of David Beckham either. You need to get out more.
  13. No lamentations here, just reporting on the mood of the country. The damage done by inflation to one’s personal finances is much more tangible than GDP and the polls reflect this reality. “A recent CBS News poll found that 65% of Americans remember the economy under former President Donald Trump as being good, compared with 38% giving the current economy under President Joe Biden the same positive assessment.”
  14. Oh I have benefited handsomely as the cost of rental housing has significantly outpaced overall inflation and I just happen to own a few rental properties.
  15. “An electric vehicle business backed by David Beckham and championed by Sir Keir Starmer has put its commercial arm into administration after production setbacks, the Standard can reveal. Silverstone-based Lunaz, which installs electric engines into commercial vehicles such as lorries as well as into classic cars like Aston Martin and Rolls Royce models, today said it had ceased operations of its commercial unit” https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/david-beckham-backed-ev-firm-172426782.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAHZwoRGKxP7-z04DYw68b0Uj684zMBnKml-orrtul3gnQjp-6x0gFRkGUgnvfKGISikqwedakv9YfDcmHrWuRYerJlfkUh69HU8xaYg18MDpKCLtyFGAj8Amfx4jKacthSBF1WTQrTvJiMNuypdpYSeQqm1FqMixkp1SW1876n6k Another one bites the dust
  16. As long as inflation outpaces GDP growth, there is nothing to brag about
  17. It’s just a simple matter of supply and demand. Rental companies are liquidating their inventory at the same time demand is drying up. The result is a plunge in value.
  18. Price drop? How about price collapse?
  19. EVs produce about 20% more pollution than ICE vehicles according to science.
  20. How about actual evidence? One’s reasoning can be clouded by emotion.
  21. Did a 14 miles of single track yesterday (mountain biking) and for the life of me I couldn’t see the evidence of global calamity. Clear blue skies, temperatures in the lower 40 and just enough breeze to stay comfortable. No hellscape of coal mines and fracking (even though I’m in the middle of the Marcellus shale formation) sorry but you are going to have to give me actual evidence of this climate cataclysm before I reconsider my position. (You guys need to lay off the NPR an MSBC and trust your own eyes)
  22. Honda Accord coup: 3500 lbs Tesla model 3 3800 lbs My wife’s GLS 450 weighs about the same as a Tesla X (5489 respectively 5390) and the GLS is more capable. For the sake of the planet I will keep my Honda and Mercedes.
  23. “Used electric vehicles are depreciating 10 times faster than their gas-powered counterparts, according to a new study from iSeeCars.com. The average price of a used electric vehicle plummeted 31.8% over the last 12 months, compared with a 3.6% decline overall.” Not only are EVs worthless they are also worth less.
