Dismantling our country one brick at a time.

Change a couple of parameters in the on-board computers of these vehicles and DEF won’t be required.

Sadly the Ukraine-war supporters (the Biden Administration) won’t allow that either.

[LastDayz]

Surely there’s a work-around for DEF.

We made all these products once. Even invented their uses.
But it became too expensive to fight the regulatory and legal hurdles leftards threw at companies that dared to make life better beyond some subsistence level.

At this point there is very little political will to change back to making our own stuff.

We don’t allow ourselves to be “dirty” anymore. Now we are just supplicants begging for products we need.

All according to plan, part of which increasing shortages leads to increasing dependence upon government, and increasing ideological conformity to find favor with it. Affirmative action, that of hiring and enrollment being based upon race - which itself is racist - is a precursor to requiring support of the increasing New World Order of the Left (which does not see Communism as radical enough and with plutonium Putin as competition and wielding power it lusts for). And with Covid-19 restrictions being a conditioning precursor to more extensive control under the premise of combating Climate Change.

Kind of like "Years of the Beast:" my favorite end times movie (though I believe the rapture is the first resurrection, at the end of the Trib., or the that mark will be an actual 666 number in the hand, as in the image below, but it will signify worship of the Beast, which Acts 12:21-22 is a example of.) . YOTB-1 YOTB-2 "YOTB-6"

All of which God allows as a judgment upon increasingly anti-Christ West and passive church, and in order to test man and make manifest who is on the Lord's side, as a testimony for eternity.

Diesel truck owners are a pretty inventive bunch. When it comes down to brass tacks, there will be plenty of canoodlin’ under the hood to bypass this type of system.

There is nothing China has that we do not have or could get from someone else.

The one advantage China has is that they have managed to buy off our politicians and our media.

China has been at war with the world for a long time but instead of bullets they have used (our) money to destroy us.

Khrushchev said the west would sell them the rope to hang us, China took that as a goal.

During the 19th and early 20th century the federal government pursued policies designed to build the US into the world’s greatest self sufficient industrial economy. Thanks to those policies the US had the largest and most innovative economy in the world.

George HW Bush had another vision, a global vision. He and his successors - Clinton, Bush II, and Obama had a vision of spreading the American manufacturing base around the globe and turning the US into service economy. Today the self sufficient industrial base is gone and we are reaping the rewards of dependency. Biden, and politicians of both parties in Congress are continuing the globalist policies despite the rampant global supply chain shortages. No one is talking about policies to restore self sufficiency. Instead we have given up willingly energy independence. Next target is self sufficiency in agriculture. Soon we will be a nation that cannot feed, clothe, or build shelter for its people. We are already a nation that can’t defend itself. Witness the open borders and 21st century technology military equipment dependent on imported semiconductors we once made at home.

DEF shortages are just another manifestation of the consequences of choices our politicians, banks, and corporations have made. Note the decision makers have become very wealthy while the nation as a whole has become poorer. Hence, no course correction as we citizens deal daily with the transition to a third world economy.

I hope the EPA tards starve first…….

You can do a “delete” on your diesel truck but that is illegal and they have been cracking down on shops that do this. I should have done mine right after the warranty was up.

Re: Urea. Never drink downstream from the herd!

[BusterDog]

Rising food and fuel prices with depression level unemployment in 3, 2, 1 . . .

[Organic Panic]

Just two years of a radical marxist child sniffing clown is about to bring down western civilization.

[datura]

Perfect example of why I bought a ‘99 Pete with a Cat engine - no DEF, no emissions anything, and no ELD!!

Plus it gets better fuel mileage without the emissions crap, and has more power. The engine lasts longer because it doesn’t run so hot. (200-300 degrees cooler behind the turbo.)

If trucking firms would stop letting the ATA dictate US FMCSA regulations and work around them, this wouldn’t be an issue. You can thank the big carriers like Swift, England, Werner, etc for this.

“bring America to its knees — simply reducing urea and other existing Chinese exports”

Urea sounds a lot like urine.

“Urea serves an important role in the metabolism of nitrogen-containing compounds by animals and is the main nitrogen-containing substance in the urine of mammals.”

I guess we better start peeing into bottles and selling the stuff instead of flushing it down the toilet.

A new business opportunity!

[SauronOfMordor]

Naturally, the government will not consider allowing the disabling of the urea requirement.
