Did I learn from you that California's Gavin Newsome announced that no gas cars would be allowed on the roads after 2035? This will destroy car sales in one day, after the "Cash for Clunkers" put a lot of used car brokers out of business. I just posted a YouTube (not yet up on Sub) that compares the US 'sacrifice' of Ukraine to provoke Putin to Churchill's sacrifice of Poland to provoke Hitler. And a recent episode also looked at the Weimar austerity, where their coal and food was being exported while they froze and starved. I think we need to be looking more closely at what led up to WWII and whether that official narrative is true. Here is the YT on Forgiving Hitler: https://youtu.be/fKJunaD0DUM and https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/cj-hopkins-and-the-new-normal-reich
If gas cars are not allowed to be sold by 2035, it means that few people will be driving. In California today, about 5% of cars are EV and the state experiences electricity shortages. What happens if that were to double to 10%? I don't even think that is sustainable at all.
In addition, the upgrades to electrical infrastructure needed to support an even modest increase in EV's is immense. Perhaps some new, magical, super easy way to make and distribute electricity is forthcoming but I'm not seeing this at the moment and I'm also not seeing much in the way of upgrades in current technology.
Horse and buggy will make a comeback...oh wait, no, too many horse farts.
Hahaha. I can see that clear thinking runs in the family ;-)
Yes, there are tremendous logistical problems with this. And even Tesla was one of the many companies that left Cal because of their absurd virtue-signaling bureaucracy, as Matt Taibbi reported. We already rival third-world countries in blackouts and brownout with a grid that starts fires and is taxing solar to make up the loss. It's pretty crazy here.
These left progressives never think about the bigger picture. Besides all the devastation this will cause. I guarantee they will lose $$$ in tourism as well, it will cripple the airline industry there, and supply shortages because gas will be too hard to get trying to enter CA by gas powered trucks and cars and more! I say fine, let ‘em rot and be the example of the consequences. I just hope others states near me don’t do this because we can’t all leave to go to another State like FL. It’s boomed so much there that just in one years time, hubs and I can’t afford to live there. Ideally, I’d love to live where I’m surrounded by other Red States
I know it's tempting to say let them rot. While it's imperative that people learn a lesson, the rest of us have to be smart enough to pick up the pieces somehow and REALLY teach them a lesson, in a completely altruistic manner of course!!!
I think Florida has to become bigger in lands mass with all the people who want to move there. I'm Canadian and I wish...
I vacationed in Florida a lot and really miss the place and the people.
Cheryl, there's many things wrong with the US but there're many things right. You have a great country and great people.
We Americans must together own the place. As far as cars go not many folks I run into actually believe these would be slave masters actually mean to go through with these drastic climate hoax related measures. They say “there are too many people who won’t accept these.” After the plandemic I’m not at all sure this will be enough. Standing against tyranny usually requires doing something before they clamp down. Calling their bluff may not be very strategic.
Georgia congressman Hank Johnson famously worried that the Island of Guam might sink if more American troops were stationed there. Whenever I think of the San Andreas Fault, I remember that God is in control and maybe Arizona will soon have prime oceanfront property.
No worries. Gavin will the sitting in the White House by the time this happens. Then the whole nation will be forced to follow in California's footsteps -- right over that cliff on the horizon. God help us.
It sounds like your father wasn't deluded by politics and therefore able to see the obvious. Reparations were 3X the value of everything in Germany. In the episode on CJ, I wrote:
Not only were Germans required to pay reparations for losing the war their Emperor forced them to fight, but they also had to pay back the debt that was their slave price. These were denominated in gold, of which Germany had none, and so had to buy foreign gold-backed currency at whatever price speculators were willing to take for the German mark. Then French and Belgian troops invaded to oversee shipments of coal directly as payment, so the workers slowed-down to a crawl.
Finally the financiers issued Rentenmarks (mortgage marks) pegged to the price of gold and the US dollar. Mortgages were reinstated at 25 billion times their value in the old marks, so the advantage of inflation in paying off debt was lost. Government bonds were promised at 2.5 billion of their original value but only after all reparations had been paid. The standard of living index was judged not relevant. They decided that bankruptcies, foreclosures, hunger, strikes, violence and insurrection were preferable to defaulting on foreign debts.
Power hungry, greedy tyrants will always find or will "create" a bad situation or "emergency which they can exploit to gain dominance over a population. The nazi's were given the perfect opportunity. If they couldn't convince people to submit with fear, they used force. The "fall guys" were the jewish people. Today, it is white males.
Never let a good "crisis", real or manufactured, go to waste.
Agreed on many points, like never letting a real or manufactured crisis go to waste. But were the ones who manufactured the Weimar crisis the ones to exploit it and was the Nazi party initially the ones to solve it? As economist Henry C K Liu writes:
"The Nazis came to power in Germany in 1933, at a time when its economy was in total collapse, with ruinous war-reparation obligations and zero prospects for foreign investment or credit. Yet through an independent monetary policy of sovereign credit and a full-employment public-works program, the Third Reich was able to turn a bankrupt Germany, stripped of overseas colonies it could exploit, into the strongest economy in Europe within four years, even before armament spending began."
I feel like I'm trying to solve a jigsaw puzzle with a lot of missing pieces. Why did Germany invade Poland if they'd gone from devastated to thriving in 4 years? I don't believe it was greed, when Churchill said he wanted Germany and Russia to 'bleed each other dry.' I think the real culprits are still up to their dirty tricks.
"WA will ban new gas-powered cars by 2035, following California’s lead.
Washington lawmakers agreed in 2020 to follow California's emission standards, setting the stage for Gov. Jay Inslee's announcement. "
It's not a ban on existing cars but new ones. Same regulations were announced in the UK recently, which apparently has ironically sparked renewed interest in old gas guzzlers. It's hard to imagine how a reduced police force could monitor all the cars on the road unless a law was enacted requiring cars to bear a large identifying marker. Can't imagine that sitting well with electors.
On the used car issue, California (little to no rust) should be welcome out of state. Particularly since new cars/prices are so pressing. If I were a Cal dealer I'd be looking for out of State opportunities and as a Out of Stater, I'd be in the hunt as well.
Having come from a rust belt state and a keeper of vehicles for ages (present car 21 yrs), I get enthusiastic about rust free cars. Was thinking more of other states picking up California cars. I live in Maryland now (California east) and am hoping and praying the locals don't adopt all the California craziness. All Californians have my sympathy. Beautiful state BUT......
Oh, I think we're in agreement, Charles, I just didn't express myself clearly. I didn't mean that the US would give Ukraine up as its vassal state. I mean that by using Ukraine as a money laundering puppet and host to bio-terrorism labs, the US was sacrificing the Ukrainian people in order to provoke Putin into a proxy war.
No, just that they cannot be sold in CA. But I wonder if he will start to cut back on gas stations and fuel imports somehow. I hope people in CA wake up before November.
I believe he already has a law that no newer gas stations can be built or at least some counties have. They will make it so bad that those who still have gas powered vehicles will be forced to give them up and I bet out of staters passing through will also get hit with some fee or whatever to enter the state. I live in AZ so this could impact us as well.
I think WA state said they will follow CA. Most people cannot afford an electric car and Newsom has to know it would be impossible to generate the amount of electricity to meet all the needs of CA. I wonder if it is a coincidence that the WEF said that people shouldn't own so many cars just days before Newsom's announcement. This may be an attempt on his part to vastly reduce car ownership which will encourage another aspect of Agenda 21 of concentrating the population in urban centers.
As I recall the brits sacrificed a Czechoslovakia who had a very modern competent military to then defend a much weaker Poland ruled by a weakened aristocracy. And paid dearly

I appreciate your (and others) correction on this, Wayne. And I'm relieved because we now have 3 cars for 4 adults in the family, and I'm sharing mine with the youngest while the older two daughters look to buy their first cars. I've been a good sport but it's been over a year and I'm ready to get my car back. The daughter buying one with her fiance was pretty close to a decision but to get a new car you couldn't drive in 13 yrs seemed rough (we drive cars into the ground...) And I'd feel better about all the walking if it didn't take me past the 280 homeless tents next to the county building and some seriously scary ranters...

My father who was not a very political person always said that WWII started because of the immense financial penalties piled onto Germany after WWI.

One of today's headlines in The Seattle Times:-
"WA will ban new gas-powered cars by 2035, following California’s lead.

We have allowed Calif. moronic laws dictate how cars are built in the US for far too long. Time for the US to secede from Calif.
Funny, I'd always advocated for the reverse but now I'm beginning to see your point!
And in yet another a case of 'Anything you can do, I can do a week later', Inslee copied Newsome.
On the used car issue, California (little to no rust) should be welcome out of state. Particularly since new cars/prices are so pressing. If I were a Cal dealer I'd be looking for out of State opportunities and as a Out of Stater, I'd be in the hunt as well.

I am curious about your suggestion that the USA would "sacrifice' Ukraine and how such a decision could "provoke" Putin.
First of all, America has no obligation to Ukraine and secondly, NATO provoked Putin to invade Ukraine.
If anything, the USA is supporting a puppet government in Ukraine and propping it up in order to keep its money laundering operations working.
Oh, I think we're in agreement, Charles, I just didn't express myself clearly. I didn't mean that the US would give Ukraine up as its vassal state. I mean that by using Ukraine as a money laundering puppet and host to bio-terrorism labs, the US was sacrificing the Ukrainian people in order to provoke Putin into a proxy war.
