Content is ok.......i guess.
But Its got so I can't even watch this shit.
I guess I'm more a Roger Mudd or Walter Cronkite kinda guy.
Id even go as far as Dan Rather. I didn't realize they still had 'news' on t.v. They still have TV? Yeah, I watch it in the AM for the weather forecast..... 4 werk There are some dudes on there that have softer more feminine voices than the ladies. Too early in the morning for that shit.

Rivian is going to help convert people to electric vehicles. Their truck will go 0-60 in 3 sec, have a 400 mile range, 750 horsepower, 800 lbs torque, tow 10k lbs, 80% charge after 15 min, has a trunk where the motor would have been, and can go off road a bit. Not bogging or climbing, but on some rough terrain. Gotta say those specs are better than what stock combustion engines can do unless you get into the bigger diesel motors. Looks a bit goofy, but Ford though they were worth putting $500 million into.
If we went more EVs our dependence on foreign oil would be diminished. So trying to get in with their political regimes would be a thing of the past.

Because no petroleum products are used to build, maintain, or fuel them. No petroleum products used to ship them. Maintain the roads they will drive on. Etc....

With a base price of $69,000, or $72,500, it may be awhile.... That price will go down over time. Look at Tessla, their product prices are dropping. With more companies trying to go the EV route, even legacy companies, the tech will become cheaper. Besides with most legacy companies their base price is less than that, but you start upgrading and that price goes up quick. Yes states will need to find ways to gain revenue if there are more EV on the road not buying gas. Yes I know how many things are made with petroleum. However, you lessen that dependency, you lessen that need to hob knob with the Middle East.

I was at Honda the other day, and overheard a conversation between an old guy and the dealership. They said "The battery in your car is old and needs to be replaced. It costs more than your car is worth. Have you seen the new 2019 electric cars? They are awesome, you should buy one."
Find me a set of batteries that last 40 years, have a range of 400 miles, and can run for 400k miles before needing to be replaced. Then we can talk.

Private firearm sellers who decry the tyranny of 594, 1639, et al - but then refuse to complete the transfer without going through a FFL - are hypocrites...law-abiding hypocrites, but hypocrites nonetheless.

This whole situation really stinks... The anti-Liberty folks know that gun owners who are affected by this unConstitutional crap are by and large more law-abiding than any other segment of society. (I have no study to back that up.) Is any law that is clearly in violation of the highest law of the land a law? Isn't it a patently "illegal law" and therefore no law at all? So what is really happening is that good men and women are being threatened by a state government with being kidnapped and deprived of liberty, physical harm or death if they don't follow an illegal infringement on a Natural Right or God-given Right. Nothing strange about that opinion, so now I'll actually contribute to the thread with an unpopular or uncommon opinion. Fixing or restoring an old tool is way more satisfying than actually using that tool.

I love to use that old tool once its restored. Sometimes (most times) I spend longer restoring the tool than I end up using it for the job that I got it for. Sometimes just using it ONCE is enough for me to respect the tool and the FELLAS that used them everyday. Then I enjoy using my modern replacement tool even more! Sometimes the tool that needs restored is ME!
