I’m always eager for more stories about stranded electric vehicle owners who miscalculated a trip, or found that their batteries were only 50% effective in sub-freezing temps.
No thanks. Imagine a world where libtards control nothing but their own actions.

There would be a lot more horses...donkeys...cape buffalo.
‘I lie awake, staring out at the bleakness of Megadon.
City and sky become one, merging into a single plane, a vast sea of unbroken grey. The Twin Moons, just two pale orbs as they trace their way across the steely sky
. I used to think I had a pretty good life here,
Just plugging into my machine for the day, then watching Templevision or reading a Temple Paper in the evening.
‘My friend Jon always said it was nicer here than under the atmospheric domes of the Outer Planets. We have had peace since 2062, when the surviving planets were banded together under The Red Star of the Solar Federation.
The less fortunate gave us a few new moons.
I believed what I was told.
I thought it was a good life, I thought I was happy.
Then I found something that changed it all...’
And the meek shall inherit the earth...
...’The massive grey walls of the Temples rise from the heart of every Federation city.
I have always been awed by them, to think that every single facet of every life is regulated and directed from within!
Our books, our music, our work and play are all looked after by the benevolent wisdom of the priests...’
We’ve taken care of everything
The words you read, the songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes
It’s one for all and all for one
We work together, common sons
Never need to wonder how or why
We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers fill the hallowed halls
We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life are held within our walls
Look around at this world we’ve made
Equality our stock in trade
Come and join the Brotherhood of Man
Oh, what a nice, contented world
Let the banners be unfurled
Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand
We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers fill the hallowed halls
We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life are held within our walls
“...All horses require a safety inspection, for which fees apply, as assessed by the recipient of the fees. All horses must also get an emissions inspection, for which additional fees apply. In some locales these inspections are required every 12 months. Both inspections are also required when the ownership of a horse is transferred. For your convenience, lame or dead horses are commonly exempt from emissions inspections: Check with local officials to ensure compliance.
In some areas, both inspections may done at the same time by a certified inspector at privately owned inspection stations that pay applicable fees to the Department of Horses. Please be aware, the emissions inspection process will include the insertion, by a state-certified technician, of a gas-sniffing probe into the rear end of your horse.”

That and “Working Man” were my favorite Rush songs. Back when Rush could rock.
Scary.
Red Barchetta was also excellent
never happen, the elites won’t give up their gas powered machines, they’ll insist we give up ours but they will never relinquish the convenience of internal combustion
You mean Imagine 1850?
The typical Big Valley, Gunsmoke, or most other westerns too.
The closest I can imagine to a world without the combustion engine would be living like a lost tribe of headhunters in the jungles of South America.
Imagine A World Where The Internal Combustion Engine Didn’t Exist

Imagine living in the 1700s or any age earlier.
It wasn’t pleasant at all.
