The 10th Avenue Marine Terminal has plenty of space. The people pretending to be like St. Ignatius have too much free time and do not care about a capitalist projects.

Personally, I think the Jesuits should volunteer to leave the Catholic Church because they realize that the Church is NOT the place where they will flourish.

AND THE SOONER THE BETTER.

Hard to believe they were so respected, something like our FBI.

Sic Transit Gloria!!!

If I was a Catholic, this mandate on electric trucks would be enough for me to leave the church.

On one of my last service trips to 10th avenue, I was taking some marine radios back to a tuna boat. I had just finished reinstalling the radios when a sales critter showed up to demonstrate the new, "safer" seal bombs. Lots of fisherman lost fingers to lighting the M-80 sized, water proof seal bombs. The new product launches from a flare gun. The sales critter loaded one up and fired. A pelican swooped on the splash in the water and scooped up the object. A flash of feathers followed. Oops.

There is no such thing as a zero emission vehicle. That vehicle’s emissions just happen some place else which is exactly what the buyers of these vehicles want to happen. #NIMBY

Kind of like the human body.

We eat with our visible mouth, and our emissions are far away.

In NYC they found the battery powered snow plow trucks could only run 4 hrs on a charge compared to 12 hr refuel interval for diesels. They’re backing off this plan pretty quickly.

No worries. California is banning diesel trucks. Maybe people can have their concrete delivered by ox drawn freight wagons.

They will probably just buy 3X as many subsidized electric plows.
