“...one went ablaze just sitting, parked, engine turned off...”


Bad writing/editing.

Electric busses/autos don’t have ‘engines’ — they are propelled by motors.

Thanks for posting.

Some one challenged me that almost everything is a fashion industrey.

Liberals/progressives want change for the sake of change.

Conservatives are not against change, prefer the well tested, but will change for a reason.

https://kirkcenter.org/conservatism/ten-conservative-principles/

Second, the conservative adheres to custom, convention, and continuity. It is old custom that enables people to live together peaceably; the destroyers of custom demolish more than they know or desire. It is through convention—a word much abused in our time—that we contrive to avoid perpetual disputes about rights and duties: law at base is a body of conventions. Continuity is the means of linking generation to generation; it matters as much for society as it does for the individual; without it, life is meaningless. When successful revolutionaries have effaced old customs, derided old conventions, and broken the continuity of social institutions—why, presently they discover the necessity of establishing fresh customs, conventions, and continuity; but that process is painful and slow; and the new social order that eventually emerges may be much inferior to the old order that radicals overthrew in their zeal for the Earthly Paradise.

Conservatives are champions of custom, convention, and continuity because they prefer the devil they know to the devil they don’t know. Order and justice and freedom, they believe, are the artificial products of a long social experience, the result of centuries of trial and reflection and sacrifice. Thus the body social is a kind of spiritual corporation, comparable to the church; it may even be called a community of souls. Human society is no machine, to be treated mechanically. The continuity, the life-blood, of a society must not be interrupted. Burke’s reminder of the necessity for prudent change is in the mind of the conservative. But necessary change, conservatives argue, ought to be gradual and discriminatory, never unfixing old interests at once.

The Free Market is the voluntary cooperation between buyers and sellers without government interference. "The Wealth of Nations".

The feds interference with the Free market looks something like this...

Allowing the feds to continue their unconstitutional interference with the free market as well as all other aspects of life leaves one stunned - something like this...

Put those batteries on a trailer, with a long tongue.

Tow them behind the bus.

Run power cords to the bus motor.

The bus burning is a perfect metaphor for this green new deal insanity.

Just wait, next time, the bus exploding will be filled with people who will all likely die at the hands of these idiots.

Added to list. No mention of fire for third link, correction welcome.

Insights welcome.

Also, patriots are reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents in federal and state governments. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates.

Again, insights welcome.

While on duty as a Police Officer I saw a vehicle ignite inside a Concrete Multi-Level Parking Garage. Now in this Parking garage the management stressed the number of parking spaces so the space between vehicles is barely enough for person to open their door and exit.

Anyway the Vehicle fire began in the front and it was going good.We used three CO2 Extinguishers in the attempt to put the fire out but since the fire was burning so strong we couldn’t get the vehicles hood up.

We finally had to get to the rear of the vehicle to push it out of its parking space to prevent the nearby vehicles from also joining the fire.

These electric vehicles should not be allowed in Multi-leval parking garages unless there’s a minimum of six feet between them. Once those Batteries ignite all bets are off. It takes a lot of water to extinguish those fires once they’re started.

It was such a wonder of modern technology that it was designed to burst into flames only if no one was in it!
