US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

"Republican controlled senate"
While the Dems aren't technically a majority, they definitely control the senate (but just barely)

My bad, I edited my original post to fix that statement.

It's already a felony to protest at a federal judge's house. Making more laws is pointless when you have an AG that refuses to enforce them.

This might as well be the democrats argument for blocking it
"We will just tell the police to stand down like we do with school shootings, it doesn't really matter"

Hold it right there! Cobra Commander isn’t a moron, he went from used-car salesman to the leader of Cobra. Biden never worked an honest job in his life. Don‘t slander Cobra Commander’s good name like that.

At least Cobra Commander had an economic recovery plan

So much for the Red Wave....

The supply chain is about to get fucked well beyond what we've seen.

Diesel trucks since 2010 have been required to use Diesel Exhaust Fluid. DEF is 2/3 urea and 1/3 de-ionized water. It's kept in a separate tank and mixes with the diesel exhaust before it comes out the exhaust pipe. Reduces emissions. The truck literally cannot start if there's no DEF in the tank.

DEF stocks are sharply falling. Imports of it, of urea, and de-ionized water are sharply falling. Domestic production of all three is sharply falling. Not so long ago you could get 2 and a half gallon jugs of DEF for 7 bucks at places like Walmart, Target, places like Agway. Then 10 bucks. Now you can't find it anywhere.

Many thousands of diesel trucks could be put of action in the next 6 weeks because of this. Wonder what that will do to muh supply chain and muh prices on the shelf. For everything.

So glad we got rid of mean tweets and the mortal danger to our sacred democracy so the competent sane adults could be in charge again. Our sacred democracy is really being saved by being turned into 1931 Weimar Germany.

I can't wait to have to dig into my food stores because there is nothing...and then be the only person to show up to work because I walk to work.

EPA is being generous and allowing trucks with broken DEF systems (the chips are unavailable and have been for a year) limit to 50mph instead of 5mph as was the previous rule. I suspect you'll get some similar kind of "concession".

You can literally program them out though. There's nothing mechanically stopping you from just running the truck. If it gets bad enough people are just going to run older shit.

But we have to save the earf! It's a "wonderful transition," you see

When independent truckers and hauling companies spend money they don't really have to program the DEF system out, guaranteed the EPA and DOT will buttfuck many of them out of more money they don't really have before some bureaucrat pulls Pete Buttfuck aside and says look we don't really have a choice here, then a dispensation will be issued after much damage has already been done

The bugmen will be very unhappy when they're the ones starving to death because nobody can deliver food to cities.

if they're already price gouging, wouldn't they just raise the price even more to make up for the loss on the profits and the fines and surtax and dealing with lawyers and stuff? If you tax 21 percent of their profit, wouldn't price gougers just raise the price of it another 40, 50 percent or something to make up for it and make even more money?

You know that how that one leftoid criticism/strawman of right wing politics is 'they'll happily let a strongman stomp on them as long as he stomps on the hated other harder'? This is 100% projection about how their policies regarding taxing the 'rich' actually work out.

thats not true, you only need a software update to start without it. just ask Bosch for the code. they have it, its how they and every Car company cheated in Dieselgate.

East Carolina University poll has Kemp beating Stacey Abrams by 5 points in the governor's election. Guess she'll have to settle with President of the Galactic Empire or whatever the fuck they made her in Star Wars.

They live in a fantasy world. Here's an example that I read yesterday:

Janet Yellen, the United States Treasury secretary, said last week that Washington was in talks with its European allies about forming a cartel that would set a cap on the price of Russian oil roughly equal to the price of production. That would trim Russia’s fossil fuel revenues while also keeping Russian oil flowing to global markets, stabilizing prices and fending off a global recession, she told the Senate Finance Committee.

Now I'm no policy expert, but how is that even supposed to work when Putin says, "lol no" and laughs in their face.

it is true if you don't download and install the code lol

I've perused some trucker/diesel engine forums and the consensus appears to be that mixing your own DEF is penny wise and pound foolish
