Utopia Sells

 Cure cancer and stop climate change?

That seems to be claims by promoters.

Wyoming land grab model coming to your locality in the future

Disclaimer: I’m not a lawyer and much of this is over my head.

The Bureau of Land Management is creating new categories of public land leases (hello, Loper?) that will halt common uses in favor of “conservation”, i.e., radical environmentalist wet dreams.

Earlier this year a bizarre scheme was shot down by the Wyoming Congressional delegation. The Security and Exchange Commission was on the verge of approving a scheme where private companies could raise money to buy recreational rights to BLM managed lands in Wyoming. This would allow these companies to deny public access. Recreational use would be the exclusive domain of these private companies.

Bad Judgment Compounded

The company I hang paper for had a Denver agent go into the hospital. As a favor (and handsome compensation) I spent two days covering the assignments. At one house, loan seriously delinquent, was an Audi SUV with a temporary license. Curious, I checked it out. The door was unlocked so I looked at the mileage, 134,000.

Expensive cars new will have expensive repairs used. Any late model European car, with over 100,000 miles will be a money pit. Wow, I bought this for $4,000! Yes, and you will spend twice that, per year, keeping it running. Don’t believe me? Check the Car Wizard YouTube channel.

Banner is a good boy. Please pat him on the head and tell him I said so.
I remarked to my husband the other day that it used to be BMW drivers who were so stupid on the roads, now it's Tesla. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Honey, those guys used to *be* BMW drivers."

Pretty sure he's right.

We need our dreamers. We don't need to fund them.

I own an Italian motorcycle. The clutch went KABLOOEY. It took the dealer two months just to get the parts for repair. Problem is, I'm not sure "American made" is any better these days.
We just need to buy new every three years or so, right?

With today's inflated prices, your Dodge p/u can be rebuilt twice for the price of a new one and you will still have a better vehicle. Quality everywhere is gone down. Tried buying decent windshield wipers recently?
