I was wondering about the absence.

On inspections: To inspect cars in NYS, a shop has to spend a one time $20k cost on the computer hardware needed. But who are we kidding, the state will change and require new hardware probably every 5-7 years. Additionally, I believe they have to pay yearly for a subscription to allow them the live connection to the NYS servers, although the mechanic I knew didn't go into those details. Imagine all the NYS inspections shops smattered around the state, and quickly you realize the inertia already in motion. Ain't no way the state nor mechanics will give up this racket. Too much time/money invested to go back. Just be lucky it is still $21, pleeb.

So as @SectionC3 would say: Hoax.

We don't, we just add it to the federal debt.

Doing it today, but it is costly and has no commercial value. Only done when gov't subsidies are in play. I do like the idea of putting in liquid form at the bottom of the ocean, but holy crap that'll be expensive. Probably have to start by taking away everyone's social security so we can fund that effort.

What do you suggest?

Wade's favorite - John Holecek 51

Only way to fix it is to go to war - Ice Cream Joe's handlers know this.

I hope so

I thought it was the old trope - everything happens for a reason. But I agree with you, that reason sucks a fat one. We lost an 7 year old niece to an aggressive form of brain cancer; that makes you question a God that pulls that crap.

In 2024 it looks silly to you, but know that was the common farming family life until the 1940s. They'd have 5-7 kids cause 1-2 of them would get taken out from some reason. That Job story was like looking in a mirror to them. And <gasp> some rural families still go about life that way.

Yeah, probably change that one out for "don't ogle the Spanish teachers pechos".

But in the end that IS what lefties want to be - a pet for the State to decide what they do or don't need. Individualism is strictly prohibited.

If you disagree - why have any laws then? Or are you just whining?

What if they just called them rules for schools? Rebrand them a scooch?

That would be the Libertarian party, but then as we all know we wouldn't have any highways - so that wouldn't work. Ds and Rs are basically the same; the differences are minor.

I would call it a slight decoupling from rampant globalization for resiliency reasons. If countries get butthurt about it - sorry eh?

There was a note in the body that non-citizens can't vote - so was Coolidge a MAGA too?

And what kept you alive? Fossil fuels.

I'm going to need a lefty to tell me how this week is different than 1994 in Barfalo, NY:

The wolves are at your door...

Milwaukee might be nice, might be a sh!thole - still not voting for Biden.

Where do you think the Nazi death squads are going to come from?

How?
