The Democrat Socialist elites are glad Oscar learned his place. Now he won't mind being old HOW to vote in such places as so-called banana republics.
Yes, Rod Serling, we here in an all too real really real zone can imagine what you are imagining all too well.
Frustrated for really real women can always tell when a male with mental problems has used their rest rooms.
Have you folks ever noticed that Candace Owens ALWAYS knows what she is talking about?
That should add up to 12 years I should really enjoy in my old age.
Except the car battery / 8 yr thing. That one is wrong, and we shouldn’t wave it around and expose ourselves.

I'll have to do some more study to demonstrate the 8-yr value. The burden of proof really ought to be with the assertion, but I'll get some references. You can just use $ for the battery to prove it isn't 8-yrs of gas.
People shouldn't be compelled to drive EVs or pay for other people's EVs, but EVs are not evil, and everything about EVs is not evil or bad.
Just a tool like firearms that are used sometimes for evil purposes by people.
The free market, when allowed to operate, would define the most efficient result - EV, ICE, or a combination.
Government can mess up anything, and usually does - to enrich and empower themselves.
https://www.ev-battery-recycling.com/ This one is a forum/initiative - not an existing solution.
https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/ev-b... This is another one which discusses need, but gives no mention of any implementation of such recycling.

From the article: "The recycling process is also incredibly energy intensive and quite expensive.
Because of these factors and the high cost of mining lithium, recycling isn’t yet an economical option to handle electric car batteries."
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/0...
From the article: "While EVs emit less CO2, their batteries are tough to recycle."
"Creating a circular supply chain by recycling the batteries’ raw materials will be vital in reducing their environmental impact."
In its description of the companies, it notes such future looking words/phrases as "aims", "hopes to create", "estimates", etc.
There are no recyclers in my state or any neighboring state. You can drop off your batteries - including EV batteries - at any number of locations. Those batteries then just end up in landfills or specialized disposal sites, however, they never actually make it to any facility which actually recycles the batteries for reclamation/re-use.
I'm not telling someone NOT to get an EV. I just tell them to go in with all information and not to delude themselves as to the "green" nature of these solutions.
...but, comparing co2 outputs is, in it self, the Real Conundrum...has no barring on anything except the concept of co2 being harmful in the first place which it is not. It's Plant Food and the Earth handles the management of it very well.
I am kind of tired of these arguments. I love all the other stuff, but caution against such pithy statements that are wrong. There is so much that is right, we don't need these. If people want feel all warm about them, or continue in ignorance, go ahead. I will point them out, but will not spend time constructing a defense for an unwilling audience in a technical area I work day as the CTO for a world-class leading technology company.
I should spend the hour constructing a clear explanation for my own guys why 4-pole generators are lighter and cheaper than 2-pole generators, and why DC distribution can be protected and coordinated in some applications.
I can’t tell you how many leftists tell me my world view is wrong. But, then when you closely examine their personal lives, they’re walking train wrecks.
Yeah....me sitting on almost a million dollars in paid off assets with no college education, 5 Kids that were never in serious trouble. And only suffering from depression on the rare occasion that something happened like death or sickness in the family. To be sure I have my problems. But, overall I’m doing quite well. According to Maslow’s pyramid I’m crushing it.
So tell me again how I’m “doing it all wrong.” XD.
I did do some college night school, but never got a degree.
I hope we get more non-groveling Trump in the future!
If he gets back in....day one should be known as Clean House day.
And it doesn’t matter what the media says.
They just make up stuff anyway. Might as well give them something real to complain about. Control the narrative.
Yes, we are living in the Twilight Zone.
Would you fill me in on that one?
