I think a better example is Canada. Everyone is having problems with the cost of living in Canada. That is what will happen to us if Biden wins reelection, we will suffer from the bad policies by the Democrats. We won't starve but our standard of living will continue to decline.


I have more serious concerns.

The Democrats have used massive Covid spending to provide funding to float the Federal, State and Local governments to disguise how badly they are running the country into the ground.

They timed the funding so that it would seem through the 2024 election, after which the consequences of their manufactured crisis would hit.

We are going to see multiple post 2024 manufactured crisis hit when the blank checks the Democrats and RINO have kited come due on the American people and we do not have the resources to cover the checks we have written, much less the one we need to write to spend our way out the manufactured crisis. we are seeing the start of this in the form of impending budget crisis in California with a stunning 73 billion dollar deficit and Huston which is just about to go into bankruptcy - both of which have been living beyond their means on borrowed Covid bail out dollars

Which means they will have to have an outright ban on ICE vehicles eventually.

It seems like Ford has enough money to make the pedophile an offer he can’t refuse.

We'll suffer some inflation. You'll see states like California having to make some cuts to their budgets. Maybe they'll stop funding their high speed train to nowhere.

One advantage we have over everyone else in the world is that there's a huge demand for the U.S. dollars. U.S dollar is the reserve currency so everyone is using our dollars. Many countries are annoyed with us but so far, there is no other currency that can replace the follar.

You’re right.

Hertz car rental is in big trouble because they went overboard and bought a whole bunch of EVs. 99% of the people didn’t want to rent an eV so they’re stuck with them. They’re trying to sell them at huge discounts.

Limiting production of combustion vehicles will accomplish what Obiden wants. It will price real cars out of the reach of all but the top 20% and force the population to maintain their old cars as Cubans do by scavenging and small shop manufacturing of parts. Biden wants to force reliance on bicycles and government mass transportation. Travel will be severely restricted. Lefties hate mobility of the population. They want people to stay in one place so that the can send buses to carry the to their assigned work or to execution sites.

True, but that hat would put all the UAW workers out of work.

The nation does not operate with the Constitution any more. And judges and justices are simply ignored with no blowback. This is rapidly becoming Rule by Decree.

The way I look at it is:
  1. Donald Trump will be elected President again in November.
  2. or Jesus will come back and do some house cleaning.

Ford will need to build two fully electric F150s for every gas-powered F150. By 2032, the company will need to build four electric F150s for every gas-powered F150.

Build, or sell? If it's just "build and let it sit", put a shell together and wait for a buyer before completing.

What if the auto makers just keep making 2024 models, say.

Into 2025, 2026, ...

Well sir, the plumbing job you have requested is $500 , however, the fuel charge for me to get there is $1000.
How would you like to proceed?
Fuel charge is paid before I begin.

Just like Trump was elected in 2016 because the well known importance of SCOTUS picks, Trump will cruise into office this year so he can eliminate ALL fake ECO-terrorism like EVs and “climate change” spending.

“15 years ago I thought that for sure it would pass. I’m no longer confident.”

Insurance companies will stop insuring the cars, their transport, their charging, and houses where EV’s are parked in the garage. That alone will destroy the EV market. The public has turned away. Look at the depreciation. Look at the 8,000 cars destroyed in two ship fires. Anyone who buys an EV today is stupid. Remember when Tesla drivers looked down on everyone? How will they feel when people ask them to park well away from their car? EV’s are the Hollywood monster who was killed, then it comes back to roaring life just to be shot two more times by the hero. The senile Biden administration is the last monster roar.

You clearly haven’t seen the Ford battery plant on I-65 in Glendale, KY. That is SERIOUS business.

By then a $10 tax will be piddling. 10$ may buy a couple of m&ms. Gas will be rapidly increasing multiples of present levels. Inflation and its impoverishment will be the reality if the dollar even still exists by then.
