I believe that all of the stressing about tariffs is a little premature and that the hysteria is fueled by people opposed to the President elect. The man is a master of negotiating and is likely playing the long game with our trade partners. In the past the issue has been one of fairness between nations, if you put a 50% tariff on our goods then we put the same on yours to level the playing field. Its a complex process. When this country was first founded the Federal Govt was funded via tariffs, since then there has been a steady creep to income and other taxes. There has not been any comprehensive plan put forward that I have seen and the few that have been kicked around have all involved cuts in other taxes. I think this is all premature and illustrates the effectiveness of the Lefts propaganda during the campaigns.

If you paid attention it’s about fair trade not automatic tariffs. As far an electric or emissions. The mandates will be eased up so technology can catch up. The new administration isn’t against electric or emission. It’s slowing down so cost burdens on the public don’t become overwhelming. The only yard tool I have that’s gas powered is my lawnmower. All my other tools are black and decker. The battery are interchangeable. The cost was comparable to gas. If anything was learned in the past week. Don’t force outrageous ideas on us. We’ll slap you down. No one is anti electric or pro pollution. We can only absorb so much. Now about that border…….

Similar to the All star (generic) and the Texas edition. Seems like a missed opportunity to me. GM marketing is sleeping on this. Youre Welcome Mary.

On my way home tonight I saw a billboard that said, "Need Help? Call Jesus." 1-800-555-3500 Worried about tomorrow's election, when I got home I called the number and about 30 minutes later a Mexican showed up in a tow truck.

No need, I've got enough for all

No joke but don’t know where else to post.

I disagree I am going along with Linemans idea I think they are lovers and not the same person.

I world NEVER compare a lineman to an inganear. You seem to only see what you want to, not the truth... What is needed more in todays wet dream of forcing electric on everyone. Electrical inganeers, or lineman to do the work?

Me too after Tuesdays election. What’s really cool. Gas prices will go down, fighting will stop. And I won’t get taxed on unrealized capital gains. I couldn’t be happier.

I have been paying more for everything I buy the past 3 3/4 years............ Nothing can scare me as bad now that sh*t for brains is leaving office, bring on the Tarriffs, The Tyrrany and the subjugation of Women that the left warned us about

I also object to the progressives in CA trying to dictate policy throughout the nation. They should not be the arbiters for the rest of the country. For years the OEMs built "California emission" vehicles specifically for CA with an increased cost to their residents. That was fine since it didnt affect me. The problem is that currently they are trying to dictate nationwide and I object to that. If the residents of MA,NY,NJ,OR and WA want to throw in with them then so be it and let them bear the costs. CA IMHO is destroying their trucking industry along with the railroads and driving costs higher. They have unique issues that they should leave the rest of us out of.

On those cold mornings.

I kept wondering when she was going to break out the bucket of chicken election night

My brother had two knee replacements about 10 years ago. Not at the same time of course. I’m not going to sugarcoat it. It was rough with rehab and recovery. You will need your arms for support and stability. You wouldn’t want to be reaching for support with an arm in a sling.

He's the Canadian Dunkin'

Sorry for your loss. When I help someone I expect nothing in return. I can’t put myself in the area of depression. I’m a happy person. The only person who can affect my mood is my wife. And that’s only for awhile. My daughter had problems with depression after foolishly doing kick boxing for awhile. And then being involved in a head on accident. After awhile being diagnosed with Lupus after falling down a flight of stairs. Suffering another concussion. Finally they found medication that lifted her out her fog. The side effect is she doesn’t shut up. I’ll take it. Family gatherings are funny steering her through different subjects. She has a wonderful husband. We were stuck on a cruise when I found out she made an attempt years ago. For the first time in my life I couldn’t offer her any advice just support. She can’t drive anymore we make sure to be available anytime. It’s a scary thing, I don’t understand it. Even the poorest among us are better off than most. Even on a dreary day I feel like the luckiest person alive. It sucks for those people.

I went through people taking advantage of me, knocking on my door when the car had a problem or their was a problem with the house. Not once did anyone fork over any money when I saved them money. I started telling them I can't help you. I finally wised up.

I'm old enough to remember and to have used an 8 inch reel to reel, see four track and build a crystal radio and listen to European stations with dad on his shortwave on Sundays. Polka music from Germany in Deutsch. Listed to the Indy 500 on that radio sitting under the ash tree around a wash tub of 7 ounce bottles making ice-cream. We didn't have no stink'n TV.

Rocks can hit the ground and fly up side ways on the roads too.

I knew you would show up. Your attracted to oil and filter threads like a moth to a flame.. It is very good, of you to show up as well.

No kidding Linemen are needed electrical engineers are a dime a dozen and apparently come with inflated egos.

I find the electrical part of discussions and or mandates to be lacking in full detail. Being a retired electrical lineman, i know a little about demand and what is involved in staying up with electrical demand, as well as reliability. I did my working for the man time on the east coast, NH then PA, then left the east coast. Originally, and i go back for the summers, im from way, way upper MN to the left side near ND, it gets cold in the winter, gets cold fast in the fall, stays late in the spring, so electric powered batterie things, dont like very cold. Using an all electric car, using heat and needing it to move, would use lots of power, but the batteries dont like cold. Most people dont get the truth, or care. Solar panels and wind mill blades have a usable life span. Actually a nuclear plant also has a usable life span. People like underground, but most dont know that primary underground has a usable lifespan then its no good. Overhead wires last almost forever, the poles or supports dont but are easy to replace vs underground wires. There was an article i read a few years ago, of California needing to replace solar panels as they reached there life span. The problem comes when California has a law not letting certain things in the land fill, and that being the solar panels that are being replaced. So, it was said they went to New Mexico to a land fill. Sounds fair right, create garbage and dump it on another. ( other states also have stuff needing disposal but cant be disposed there ) I am all for better ways and rentable energy. Not all renewable energy is cost effective or not creating waist, they just leave that part out. As well as solar and wind, dont work without sun or wind, so there is still a need of providing power in the dark or non windy, or extremely windy days. Hear is a picture of used wind mill blades in a spot near the ND and MN boarder in ND about 50 miles from the Canadian boarder. Just sitting there. Like normal, near there, no wind mills, just the junk from them.

My caregiver is getting her second knee replaced next week. Surgeon is so good the recovery for first was a snap. Taking meds and moving is critical. Joint is good for full use on moment one . The tissues nerves around it are what hurts. She’s getting second done before I’m brain dead. So I’m a psycho nurse again.
