Incredible! ALL internal combustion vehicle buyers will be forced to purchase out of state. G’bye sales.

And register them out of state, too I am sure. God help you if you have a normal car with New Hampshire plates parked in your driveway. They will probably allow gas stations on the Mass Pike for people passing through, and diesel for trucks. This is utter insanity, but the State government is dominated by people who live within ten miles of Boston.

Snowy conditions on unplowed roads cause the batteries to be used up VERY QUICKLY......

With all the shut downs in Los Angeles County due to Covid-—this summer’s smog was worse than the 60’s.

When you go register, you have to pay a road bond. It will either be that or pay a mileage tax every year.

Unfortunately I have been telling myself that since 1968. I figured I would outlive the drug addled idiots and the smarter ones would grow up and join society. I never dreamed that they would be elected, re-elected and eventually take over.
By 1979 I realized I was wrong.
I still say the D talking points, speeches, slogan are all reminiscent of the commie supplied BS goobly gook propaganda that came out of Moscow and Peking in the 60s. Same weird phrasing, same stilted narrative and made up -isms obviously translated into English.

Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Obama, Pelozi... same pattern, different language

The chicoms do indeed plan for the future. We plan for retirement, their plans go beyond their lifetime.

Massachusetts is California but without the sunshine.

I quite enjoy my all electric automobile. It does have its weaknesses, though:

The heater takes directly from the main battery. Gas powered cars are heated by the waste heat generated by burning gasoline. Heating an electric car is like plugging in one of those little electric heaters on the floor or turning on a blow dryer.

Defrosting is another issue. It reminds me of when I drove the VW Beetle. As soon as you close the door the windows start fogging up. Defrosting uses the air conditioner, which also comes out of the drive battery.

Then there is the issue of charging. It takes up to an hour to recharge at a DC fast charger, and up to several days with the 120 volt plug in charger. It makes long distance travel somewhat challenging. I took a 1200 mile road trip for a week and it was quite an adventure. There are no DC fast chargers on the Oregon coast. We had to charge overnight, and when we charged during the day, we were pretty much stuck in the same place for several hours just to get enough electricity to get to the next town. So if you are one of those people who don’t have patience, you will be fighting a lot with your spouse. Lucky for me I actually planned the trip knowing it was going to be tough to get charged.

On the plus side, the reaction time between stepping on it and it moving is really short. Acceleration is quick and continuous with no lurching at gear shifts. Sitting at a stop sign or in the drive-through doesn’t burn gas. There is no carbon monoxide. I got depressed and turned on my electric car in the garage, and sat there with the motor running, after a week I damn near starved to death!

Oh no, that’s not the idea. We can’t go back to horses. One of the upcoming things in these idiot’s bag of tricks is the issue of animal rights and slavery. Enjoy your pets and critters while you can. This crap is already taking hold in Europe.

I would expect see a lot of cars with out of state license plates in Massachusetts and gasoline being sold in back alleys from unmarked trucks.

Let me guess Kathleen Theoharides has stock in utility companies?
Nothing happens in politics unless money is tied to it.

I live in east central Illinois. The rino republican Rodney Davis won his election over dem Betsy Dirksen Londrigan. I don't watch a lot of local TV, but the ads I saw were focused on who took payoffs from ComEd and House speaker Madigan. The local power company in my area is Ameren, I don't recall any issues related to WuFlu were mentioned...

Focused on who took payoffs is the name of the new game in elections.
