and meat, guns, A/C and natural gas. Electricity will be prohibitively expensive too.

America is rather big on cars and other vehicles. Might be a mistake to mess around with that too much.

My daily driver a 1957 Bel Air. Sports car a 1967 Camaro. Truck a 1949 Advanced Chevy 3/4 ton.

I’m good for 30 years until the idiots have died living in their stick huts.

Or, some “accidents” happen to the social engineers and none of those things will be prohibitively expensive.

Hmm, which is more likely to happen, I wonder? That 99.9% of people on the planet will just accept a lower standard of living for no reason, or that the 0.1% who insist on it will find themselves in an unfortunate situation?

When gas is taxed up to $10/gal what are you going to do?

Both my neighbors are union Democrats who like to zoom zoom zoom all day long.

They also like their small engines for doing yard work.

And they vote Democrat Party.

What is the donation-collection, personal-wealth-enrichment operation known as the Republican Party doing to stop this and protect us?

Any modifications on those? Is the '49 a 6 volt system? Drums all the way around on the Bel Air?

This is the same as when the Govt banned Incandescent light bulbs and mandated the mercury filled florescent bulbs to save the environment.

Today LED is king and the consumer has an unmandated choice that they want to make

So true. Let’s also not forget families, church, healthcare, currency, speech, science and biology, and American sovereignty. Oh yah, the military will be converted to all EVs in a decade. That should go smashinglywell. I don’t want a crystal ball for 2035.

“My daily driver a 1957 Bel Air. Sports car a 1967 Camaro. Truck a 1949 Advanced Chevy 3/4 ton.”

Very cool. I have my grandfather’s 3100 1949 Advanced Chevy. My grandfather taught me how to drive in it. At the time it had a three on the column but I have changed it to a four on the floor. It still has the inclosed driveline and the original 216 cu engine. I am close to finish a frame up restoration. I do love it.

"it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."

Never will you find that they leave things live or die on the merits of the thing.
