The
Putin Tax
The is much gnashing of teeth lately regarding gasoline
prices but it will be as nothing compared to the day
when enough vehicles begin operating on renewable energy
that affordable gas prices will become a fond memory.
At some point the demand for gasoline will drop so low
that refineries will begin shuttering, it will be harder
to find available gas, and a gallon of gas will be expensive.
Very expensive.
And who is going to be left behind paying all those high
prices? The poor,
the one's who won't be able to afford the newest tech. And
a used Tesla that needs a new $12,000 to $20,000 battery
pack (if they're even available ten or fifteen years
later) is no bargain.
On top of that the country will have millions of cars
that will still operate but will lack fuel. What happens
to those cars?
I suppose there could someday exist bespoke, private
label, custom gasoline producers, working out of small
facilities
crafting
small runs of high-octane fuel for classic vehicles whose
owners are unwilling to shoehorn in a electric motor
and a battery pack in place of Detroit iron.
When the transition comes I hope it's quick and I also
hope there's some kind of federal program to help those
of
modest income get a EV into every garage and a plant-based
chicken in every pot

I wonder, considering all the information the January
6th Committee has been presenting, if more members of
Congress are quietly coming forward with further information
in hopes of softening the blow of legal ramifications
sure to come.

You know what we had during Watergate that we do not
have any longer?
Walter Kronkite. A trusted, serious voice we turned to
every evening for the real story in the news.
There is no one like that now. In fact, in Fox News,
it's the exact opposite.

I keep hearing that the J6 Committee isn't planning on
making a criminal referral.
Actually, the J6 Hearing IS the referral. The indictment(s)
will come later.

The GOP evil geniuses at work:
"
The January 6th Committee is going to reveal some damning
information about Giuliani's drunken schemes to overthrow
the government. We better get ahead of this by dressing
him as a jack-in-the-box on national TV."
