The new CAFE standards were unveiled today and highlights are that passenger cars and trucks are supposed to improve fuel efficiency by 2% and 4% respectively beginning in 2027 and pickup trucks and work vans have to boost fuel efficiency by 10% every year starting in 2030. This is insanity and the automakers have already told the politicians they will be forced to pay fines and raise prices so here we go!

Another money grab and distribution of $$$$$.

MTA ( Metropolitan Transportation Authority) is great at this, .375% of NYC tax (8.875%) goes to the MTA along with a batch of other hidden taxes.

Their latest grab is congestion pricing:

U.S. Senate Companion Bill Introduced to Stop California’s Car Ban​




contact your senator as this will affect other states
I get the SEMA Action emails, and send the emails on to my Michigan representatives, and every time the response is for the regulations to pass. All Democrats.

Won’t be long and trucks will be unaffordable for the average buyer. Better buy a couple at these low prices and store them for future use.😆
That's part of the high price already, and why they are eliminating the Hemi. The current standard is 54 MPG, and Stellantis paid $2 billion in fines last year.

They will be rescinded, just like the appliance regs. Because NCSWIC.

I just saw on the news a couple days ago, they want to go after water heaters. This time gas, and electric. The government is NUTS!

All of this crap is going towards one goal...communism.

Marxists often refer to socialism as the first, necessary phase on the way from capitalism to communism.​

Key Differences Between Communism and Socialism​

Under communism, there is no such thing as private property. All property is communally owned, and each person receives a portion based on what they need. A strong central government—the state—controls all aspects of economic production, and provides citizens with their basic necessities, including food, housing, medical care and education.

By contrast, under socialism, individuals can still own property. But industrial production, or the chief means of generating wealth, is communally owned and managed by a democratically elected government.

Another key difference in socialism versus communism is the means of achieving them. In communism, a violent revolution in which the workers rise up against the middle and upper classes is seen as an inevitable part of achieving a pure communist state. Socialism is a less rigid, more flexible ideology. Its adherents seek change and reform, but often insist on making these changes through democratic processes within the existing social and political structure, not overthrowing that structure.

In his 1875 writing, Critique of the Gotha Program, Marx summarized the communist philosophy in this way: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.” By contrast, socialism is based on the idea that people will be compensated based on their level of individual contribution to the economy.

Unlike in communism, a socialist economic system rewards individual effort and innovation. Social democracy, the most common form of modern socialism, focuses on achieving social reforms and redistribution of wealth through democratic processes, and can co-exist alongside a free-market capitalist economy.

Moved thread to off topic. If it keeps going off the rails, we will shut it down.
