So that explains a great deal about your confusion on this issue of automobile inventories. Edited August 29, 2023 by Ecocharger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Answer the question instead of illogically attacking me. Even if you were more educated than me, which you are obviously not, that would still be an appeal to authority logic failure.  Edited August 29, 2023 by TailingsPond Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess we will just have to wait. You need not apologize for not having studied economics, only a select few of university students have scaled those heights.

Michael Sanches + 187 August 29, 2023 Follow the money: Global Fossil Fuel Subsidies Skyrocket To $7 Trillion What a scam. Push EV's and the free money subsidies. Produce less fossil fuels and get subsides for getting back to previous level. Free money at both ends! The greenies, climate hoaxers, and progressives idealize the term, "Useful Idiot."

Rob Plant + 2,756 RP August 29, 2023 Bottom line for ALL on here regarding EV's is that they are here to stay! So much so that many US states are even banning ICE vehicles by 2035.

Trump sold his precious Mar a lago to his son in an obviously shady deal. Pillow man is broke. Everything around trump is a massive pile of failure.

As I've stated many times..let the drama unfold. Grab some popcorn...predicting Biden's impeachment, the sacking of justice department...and then there is homeland security. No gentlemen I would never ruin a play in progress... Oddly enough even Kerry's been implicated in Biden's laptop..Now that going to be interesting..Makes one wonder how the Family will take to all of this. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many miracles would your so called prediction need to come true? Obviously someone sympathetic to criminals is going to seize power, destroy the rule of law, and open the borders to terrorists. Personally, I believe the average US citizen doesn't want full blown chaos just to protect the orange man.

Poor flyover states have no power to demand anything. With no sales ICE will essentially go away within 10 years. Ever see this on products sold outside of California?

Good God man you continue to spout this nonsense, I'm actually starting to wonder if you need some mental health counselling, or maybe youre drunk. Your article is from August 2022 and no there was no disruption to pubs/restaurants/bars etc. you'd know that if you lived here! Oh and the cause of the massive energy price rise? yes you guessed it FF ie NG huge price hikes which we are all aware of due to the war in Ukraine.
