Yahoo ^ | 29 Sept 2023 | David Shepardson

Posted on 09/29/2023 3:55:37 PM PDT by DUMBGRUNT

The Biden administration proposal to hike fuel economy standards through 2032 is not feasible and could cost automakers a total of more than $14 billion in fines, an automotive group said Friday.

...The record-setting penalties include $235.5 million for Stellantis for the 2018 and 2019 model years and $128.2 million for GM covering 2016 and 2017.

Not to worry! Illinois is only adding one hundred dollars extra cost for EV plates, and they will only raise a little each year...

And all the UAW workers can learn to code after their paid five-year training is over.

Such a deal.

All they have to do is put a Biden or two on their boards and pay them a couple of measly $ million a piece and “Son-of-a-Bitch!”.

I wonder if the UAW is in on this. Management asks the UAW to go on strike so Jao Bai-din's handlers are forced to remove the fines in order to keep the government vehicle contracts going.

On the one hand, Biden is outrageous. On the other hand, F*** the automakers. They fell all over themselves promoting leftism and partisan politics. Truck you, GM. Truck you, Ford. And Truck you, whatever the Nazi-owned Dodges are called now.

Sounds good, but minor problem. Apparently, Biden Brand Inc. has failed to produce any verifiable results for most of the events they were contracted and faces a few lawsuits.

Biden Brands have turned into shite.

For every $50,000 in fines, they should fire (not lay off) one UAW union member and see how those boys like Bidet (intentional typo) then!

Eventually, they’ll legislate and tax all ICE vehicles out of business, including refineries, gas stations, gas truckers... and on and on and on it goes.

How they complain. I wonder how much these auto big wigs threw at Dem politicians and the rest of the woke mafia out there.

Corporate America selected Joe Biden and his communist agenda. OK boys, reap the whirlwind. You built it. You bought it.

No layoffs necessary. To pay fines, ICE vehicles will have a huge surcharge thus reducing demand for ICE vehicles overall. Unwanted EVs will be susidized. You get the picture.

We have and use a couple of bidets in our house.
They are a useful device that saves on TP and maintaining a shiny hiney.

Biden is a turd needing to be flushed and of no use whatsoever.

Mary Barra’s assets should be confiscated. It’s for the greater good she holds so dear. She’s not a hypocrite, is she?

Not what you seem to believe.

The first one to come up.
