Who benefits from “woke”?
With Colorado ranked #2 as the most dangerous state in the country, some reasons are glaringly obvious.
The question of who benefits, IMO, are the ultra wealthy like George Soros socialists who want to destroy our culture and freedom coupled with rulers in countries that hate us. They fund the campaigns of the (P)regressives running for office. Not a new or profound observation on my part.
At the moment, six Democrats have announced they will run for the CO 8th Congressional seat. Already I get weekly flyers attacking the Republican incumbent with broad accusations, but no verifiable facts.
Last election public records show over $40,000,000 was spent on this one piss ant seat.
Along the lines of the devil is in the details, several of these will be dependent on receiving “grants” to fund them.
Most of these won’t survive the court process but while that is happening we have less freedom.
How do we make these gun grabbers feel some financial hurt? That is one way to stop them.
The Irish, obstinate beyond

Key lyric, “We’ve fought you for 800 years, and we’ll fight you for 800 more”. More South than North, to be true.
Who knows; perhaps the combination of EU socialism and unrestricted immigration might result in a Unified Ireland where both the North and the South kick out the overbearing tyrants.
Stellentis declares bankruptcy
The total brands they own are:
Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Citroën, Dodge,
DS Automobiles, Fiat, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, Opel, Peugeot, Ram, and Vauxhall.
Ancient history now, when Henry II checked out and Donald Petersen became Ford President, he instituted, “Quality is Job One”. He got the UAW on board. The design team that brought the next generation Thunderbird in at 600 lbs overweight got fired. Unprecedented in the car biz, Ford went on to make more money in one quarter than the rest of the USA industry combined.
I was selling Fords at the time. The Escort, Tempo, and Taurus were nearly bullet proof, had decent performance, and the trucks were solid. Happy times to be selling Fords.
Both GM and Ford are not far behind Stellentis. GM has a disaster with their 6.2 truck engines falling apart. Ford has their EcoBoost problems and problems with the turbos on the diesel engines failing because of emission blunders. Both have more truck problems with the ten speed automatic transmission they jointly developed.
I can keep my 2002 Ford Taurus going for a long time for less than the first year deprecation on anything new. Bonus: What is more anonymous than a gray Taurus without a single bumper sticker or dealer logo?

was served a search warrant by ICE. Over 100 illegal’s were detained. The owner was recorded claiming all had been E-Verified before they were hired. Who helped all these people get fake IDs and SSN? Odds are, they didn’t do it for free. They need to be found and prosecuted, IMO.

No surprise on the gun laws...They 'know' they will eventually be overturned, but in the meantime, 'they' have control and hope they get back in power before things change. Re Stellantis, no surprise there. Those are now 'junk' brands.
I'm seeing voter fatigue with much of the extreme (P)regressive efforts. Perhaps not the content so much as the smug virtue signaling.
Had to take the company car in for warranty issues last year and walked down the street for a sammich while wrenches were being turned. Passing the Ford dealership, I saw an electric F150 4-door priced at $95,000. The "no interest for 90-days" tag hanging from the rear-view window did not entice me to look closer. Likewise, the $75-K sticker on the similarly equipped gas-engine truck parked next to it. Oh, HAIL no!
But good luck finding anything not loaded up with auto transmission, power everything, internet and a huge monitor/entertainfo screen covering up a third of the dash. All that crap costs money and I don't understand the mentality a bit, neither the buying nor the marketing ends of the transaction. Toyota or Nissan needs to do whatever they gotta do to bring back the basic no-frills truck and put a stake thru the heart of that nonsense. Hi-Lux, anyone?
The electronic shit is not that expensive for the manufacturer which allows greater profits because people will accept it. While not for me, I could live with it if the crap worked. These vehicles are so loaded with electronics only a dealer can reprogram any of it. That includes engine and transmission controls.
Mechanic/technicians at most dealerships are paid flat rate. If the "book" says 45 minutes, that is what they are paid regardless of how long the job takes. They have no incentive to anything more even if they spot other problems. Tighten loose bolts? Nope, not doing that.
You'll think me hopelessly ignorant, but how did Colorado get so lib? Baffled.
New residents. In 1995 our population was about 3.8 million. 2025 projection is 6 million. The newcomers bring different values; hence the Californication of Colorado.
"If the crap worked"
Well now. That's the rub, ain't it? And, for how long will they work, and for how long before the electronics become unsupported and the vehicle becomes a brick.
Those were not questions. Manufacturing features, not defects.
No good answer here.
