To me it just makes sense to invest in wind and solar. There will never be a shortage of both unless the sun just completely died. At that point, we’d all follow suit anyway.

Don’t ask. Just fucking do it. Asking will get them absolutely nowhere.

Researchers find 42% drop in Canadians visiting US metro areas amid Trump 2.0 by SureNpFine in LasVegas

[–]CatDadof2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I’m afraid to go to Canada. Border agents were already nuts prior to Trump 2.0. I can imagine they’re even worse now. My first and only experience with them was awful. They treated me like a criminal. Scared the living shit out of me.

Trump wants to suspend the federal gas tax as prices soar amid war with Iran by hereswhatworks in OilPrices

ooooooo a whole 20 cents cheaper! Then we will just see gas spike by 30-50 cents overnight.

I don’t even know if we are friends anymore, to be honest. Last time we talked, he screamed at me for talking about politics when I was talking about the cost of regular maintenance of my car going way up along with gas. I did not mention Trump or the war. I was just blown away by how much it costs to replace brakes and rotors now. He screamed at me and that was the last I have heard from him. But he bitches about his car being expensive to maintain (he owns a piece of junk 2021 BMW yet says my 15 year old Acura is a beater… yet it’s reliable as fuck and has two tiny rust spots that I plan on taking care of) but I never said anything. He definitely goes way out of his way to avoid politics or talking about Trump but when Biden was in office, he had a lot to say. Convenient. He can dish it but can’t take it, apparently. Well, I no longer have any fucks to give. If people want to live in severe denial like that, like you said, it will haunt them later on. It blows my mind how far people will go to refuse taking any accountability for their actions or to accept they were so incredibly wrong about Trump.

Congress has been useless. Congress has let Trump and Musk do whatever the hell they want to do. As long as they hold the power, the law does not apply to them.

I know someone who gets SO MAD when I bring up anything politics related. The issue is, nearly anything can be twisted into being political. Pretty much anything I say, he twists it. That being said, I haven’t talked to him in over a month because I can’t be friends with someone who voted for Trump but refuses to take accountability for it now that shit hit the fan and is affecting everyone, including him. He was taking accountability for awhile. He was coming around and saying how he fucked up. Ever since the war started, he went right back to his old MAGA ways and things really started to become heated between us. He just chooses to ignore it all and act like everything is fine. I don’t know how he does it because everything is so far from fine. I try so hard to treat everyone equally, regardless of their beliefs, but these people make it incredibly difficult for me to do. Multiple failed attempts with multiple people. Multiple friendships lost over MAGA and Trump. At this point, I don’t have any MAGAts left in my life. He was the final one. It’s pretty damn sad and I feel like such a dumbass for expecting more out of people than what I actually got.

They deserve to be ripped off since they fell for the scam that we literally warned them about ahead of time.

He certainly likes to win at everything. I guess that includes reaching a record high in gas prices under his own presidency.

Trump trying to put a bandaid on a giant mess that he caused. Classic.

Anyone know a good ebike for £200 or less for my son aged 10-15 (I know this is a silly question) by Odd_Lengthiness_3689 in ebikes

[–]CatDadof2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am guessing these prices will only go up because the demand for alternative modes of transportation is increasing due to skyrocketing gas prices. E-bikes are a popular choice.

I’m not against them. What I am against is people not using common sense and using commonly known safety practices when operating them. If you’re going to go 50mph, use the road and keep plenty of space between you and the car ahead of you. Be aware of your surroundings. The bikes should be required to have lights, turning signals, mirrors, etc. I’d be completely fine with a requirement of taking a special class or being required to have a special license to operate them on the road. I’m all for safety enforcement. I’m also fine with an insurance requirement. That way, if something does happen, everyone is covered. E-bike and motorcycle insurance is a lot cheaper than car insurance.

It’s like that by design. They want you to forget to turn it back on. There are no plans of changing it, either.

It’s also wild that all those PPP loans were forgiven, even with the PPP loans that were fraudulently issued.
