The Green Future Isn't Now

 

Voting Your Wallet

New car sales are down in Colorado. EVs sales are way down.

Extracted from the article:

Still, the drop in clean car sales stood out in contrast to Colorado’s target of getting more than 900,000 zero-emissions cars on the road by 2030. 

That target wasn’t set by the people of Colorado. That is the target of the true blue econazis and self anointed elites imposing their will on the serfs. Alas, the serfs can still vote with their wallets.

What is missing from this article, and from most people writing about the car business, is WSF’s constant reminder that there are two buyers in most car sales, the people driving away with the “happy tag” and the lender financing the purchase. With new car prices North of  $50,000 many people can’t qualify for the loan, even with 84 month financing.

Those needing to drive more than 200 miles from their base can’t, in an EV, especially in the winter, without charging along the way.

To stir the pot a bit more, who in Canada will buy the 30,000 Chinese EVs Imperial Carney has signed on? Their economy is tanking.

More Blue City Death – Seattle

Starbucks announces moving their headquarters to Nashville. They will save about $12,000 per employee per year escaping Washington taxes and Seattle’s lunatic mayor and city council.

Don’t cheer too loud Tennessee. Those Starbucks employees relocating to your state will likely bring their political views with them. Likewise, those coming from Chicago.

More, Please

The law enforcement in Laramie County (Cheyenne) Wyoming is having an impact on bad truckers. Too bad Larimer County (Ft Collins) Colofornia doesn’t do the same. Hwy 287 is now becoming a preferred route.  Past Wellington to Owl Canyon Road then to Hwy 287 North to Laramie, WY.

Western Mental Illness – Iran Edition

The anger and outrage I feel with some people’s views overwhelm my meager writing ability. These soulless fucks are praising,” the brave Iranian people”, who are placing their women and children on bridges and around power stations to deter collation forces from bombing them. 

 Do they really believe these women and children are doing so voluntarily?

 The Mullahs and Revolutionary Guards don’t care about anyone other than themselves. They will retain power at all costs.

 5th generation warfare is their strong suit; using worldwide social media to exploit useful idiots with a side of cyber attacks.

 Their short term strategy, IMO, is to survive the Trump Presidency and work hard, behind the scenes, to get another Joe Biden or closet Muslim elected in 2028.

Car Story

I screwed the pooch, and got fired. The bear ate.

 We made a deal without the trade physically present. While not too common, deals are made based on the customer’s word. We did one and I went 120 miles South to deliver the truck and get the trade. First problem, the trade had far more miles on it. Second, the customer’s family was there but he wasn’t and had not signed the title transfer. In a moment of stupidity I had one of his kids sign.

 When I got the trade back, the deal fell apart and the owner’s wife, Gail Felton, insisted I be fired. Little Hitler, aka Steve Lance, fired me.

 My response was, “Sometime you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you”.

 About a year later I ran into Steve and his wife leaving a supermarket.  He hollered, “Hey, come work for me”.

 What about Gail Felton?”.

 “Fuck her, I bought the place”.

Over the next ten years, I would get pissed and quit or he would get pissed and fire me. It became a standing joke.

To this day, Steve likes to tell others about the bear remark.

As always, YMMV

I'm just a half senile BS artist from South Texas but to me the solution, or anyway part of it, is "political power grows out of the barrel of a gun" according to some dead Chinaman who left the world a far worse place than how he found it. I've seen scant little to disprove Mao's theory so maybe consider it a fact? The mullahs and their minions have all the guns, so they have all the political power in Iran and the Iranian people who have no guns have no political power. Ergo, arm the Iranian people. Maybe drop AK's and ammo, not gazzilion dollar a shot smart missiles. Let them settle it themselves. Just sayin'.

WWW I like the way you think.

EV sales are off 'everywhere'. Re the Casper PD, 'ouch'... and hiring/firing/hiring in the car business seems the norm rather than the exception.

The car biz suited my temperament. A job interview was fast - show my last three "wash out'" statements. Little Hitler and I were a team. It wasn't just selling cars. He would give me an assignment and leave it to me to figure it out. An example: Called me in, said Kia has given me a point (dealership opportunity) in Rapid City. Go find me a place. Extremely rare in the biz, I worked in later years on a monthly guarantee plus expenses.

There are two kinds of people: those who know they are in sales and those who don't know they are in sales and both act accordingly.
