This. We can't rely on oil forever but for fuck's sake it's what powers everything right now. I swear to Baby Jeebus that some of my Liberal friends have no clue how food gets to the supermarket. Do they think we have teleportation hubs? Trucks deliver it. They sneer at the truck drivers out of one side of their mouths, telling them to go back to school and then bitch out the other side about the price of Hummus. Naive dummies.

You want solar cells and electric cars? Of course you can have them one day. But get your heads out of your asses and accept it can't happen overnight.

Before cars etc. we had an very extensive train system. Where I live there are remnants of train tracks and bridges which are systematically being removed anddiscarded. Correct me if I am wrong, a train gallon of fuel is used way more effectively than a semi truck. 

On that matter, every major and many less major street where I live had trolley systems in place. Way more energy effective and cheap to run from what I have read. Every time they do some major work I see the workers either cutting the tracks or digging them out completely. The latter if it is a major project.

Electric cars use energy. Depending on what is being used to supply that energy. Most times it is coal in my area, some nucular power plants as well. Not very energy efficient. Just deferring the polution elsewhere. I for one don't like the electric cars. Hybrids are ok and pretty good solution. I don't like electric cars, wait for a couple of hours to fill it up? People unpluggin it while you aren't there. Lots of bullshit going on with the way they have it setup. Also all the resources needed (often rare) requiring major mining of the components to create these cars. Not sure if they can recycle it properly and safely with minimum pollution when done.

Just trying to virtue signal that is all they are doing.

Thanks.  I've been bedridden for 3 weeks because of the spider bites.  Normally it wouldn't be a big deal but I had rheumatic fever when I was a kid and it fucked up my heart.  Stack being poisoned on

Not TD Bank? Back when travel to Ukraine was possible, and we had TD Bank, we gave them our itinerary, and they still blocked our card! Something like 3rd time they did that. So much fun on a prepaid cell phone calling a bank from Eastern Europe.

Nope. Citi Bank. But now I'm getting that the problem isn't them but Boost Mobile. I talked to a sales rep at a store and he says that's been happening since he worked there. It's a problem with the mailing and shipping address and it only works if I use a card with one that doesn't match the same mailing and shipping address. Has to do with the insurance of the company who handles the transactions for credit card/debit purchasing for them.

These are the same exact errors I'm getting.

Lets go green and use electric vehicles for everyone, but let's also noot charge them because the energy grid can't take everyone charging their cars.🤪

I can't see why they can't hvae the power they need. Just link with another state and buy their excess. There are grids that expand many states in the US, why can't they? Are they too good for power from elsewhere. Sure it will costs (and likely cost more) but if they want their zero emissions dream, I can't see another way. I don't see the current tech being able to keep up with the demands that are being placed on it. Can it, sure. how to? stop using electricity like they currently are using it. Personal solar panels powering your house, (everybody including those that are poor) More energy efficient devices (move Hollywood as they need powerful computers to make all the special effects and edit and work movies. ) Hell their lights take more than most homes use. I know someone that went to school for that shit. he had the equipment and needed to make a small movie (think 20 minutes or so) The lights and equipment blew the circuit breakers (of a house that has recently been properly upgraded) so many times. He finally went and got a generator to help supplement the power needed. Them thar lights are very bright!

who doesn't know this?  OH, yes. I see. I understand... lol 

Another celebrity sticking their nose into shit they don't even take time to fact check. 

 

To be honest.... I would be happy to get a 70's super beetle. Might need some TLC to keep going but... keep going it will!  I've seen some pretty bad ones and they start up and run. split frame, runs, engine mount missing, runs doesn't run, clean the gas line.. turn key, watch it run. Doors rusted out and tied off, runs. You practically can't kill that dam car.

(wouldn't want to get a car collision into the side though ;)  however, after they pick your body parts out... yep , still runs... lol)

My Mom had a late 60s Beetle she drove through most of the 1970s. It had almost 200K miles on it when she finally got rid of it and only because she stepped into it and her foot went through the floor!

Called it. \o/

Rebuild the Polish Empire? Possibly, as the west won't do much if they did, but might not be a good economic move. Already, many migrant workers in Poland from western Ukraine. Cheap labor for Poland, but better wages for Ukrainians. It would be like US actually annexing Mexico or half of Central America. If done, ALL in the territory would be eligible to suck the socialist benefits teat, which gets pretty expensive. US already suffers from socialists giving tax money to support illegals. Imagine the burden of taking in a whole country of poor. Similar with Poland and Ukraine.

Ukraine Nazis simply want weapons, but more for NATO to enter the fight. This is why they fired missles into Belarus, hoping they would enter the war, and so NATO... FAILED! Then, they fired missiles into Poland and blamed Russia. Notice nothing done about it? Because missiles were traced back to Ukraine, not Russia, so the story was dropped. Just as Russia DID fire on Zaporizhye nuclear plant, and took control quickly. Not good, but since then, it is Ukrainians firing on the plant, trying to take it back, but Russia is still blamed.

Then, talk from IAEA about Russia messing with reactors will cause meltdown? How many know of near meltdown in 2014 or perhaps 15??? When stupid Nazis installed fuel rods from US into Soviet reactor! No... 1/2" is not the same as 13mm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙄

Woke movies suck?!  I'm shocked.

Isn't the new Black Panther a woman? I have not seen it, and probably will not even buy on dvd. Wokers will starve. They could have done as the movie Creed, and his long lost son returns to tke the mantle, and if written well, could have been a good story.

BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leaving this here, they are using time machines! (This was recently pointed out to me by a family member) This didn't surprise me, but soon it will be everywhere. Lincoln is no longer a "Republican" because it "triggers" people. 

Abraham Lincoln was an American lawyer, politician, and statesman who served as the 16th president of the United States from 1861 until his assassination in 1865. Wikipedia
Born: February 12, 1809, Larue County, KY
Assassinated: April 15, 1865, Petersen House, Washington, D.C.
Height: 6′ 4″
Spouse: Mary Todd Lincoln (m. 1842–1865)
Presidential term: March 4, 1861 – April 15, 1865
