He's said it before... twice in fact. It's just that both times were subtle enough for people to hand-wave it away.

He needs to say the word when he's in his "I AM YELLING NOW TO SHOW I AM SERIOUS" mode so it comes out so pronounced, the left/media can't hide it away.

He’s so so close. Just a few squirts of magic juice and a bad day short. Though what’s stopping them from erasing he said it entirely. Broadcast would be stopped, phones at the event would be seized, etc. in an Eyes Wide Shut style of info blocking.

Legalizing pot is a pandora's box sitution (we don't know how BADLY it will fuck shit up if every tom, dick, and harry can get high with no consequences), not to mention Big Tobacco would be furious as fuck (since they haven't made the necessary moves to corner the legal weed market) and the fact that the cartels would probably be pissed off too; especially at the Democrats (coughincaliforniacough) who have ties to them that know how hardcore cartels can be towards politicians who cross them.

Everyone I've spoken to IRL regarding cars has expressed interest in biting the bullet and buying a new, or extremely close to new, car. The prospect of "the 'greenies' getting their way" and banning the manufacture of gasoline cars within the next few years is too terrifying to ignore.

Extremely fascinating to learn that Germany is going back to the 1800s with firewood shortages. Meanwhile my entire family's utility bills have skyrocketed and my coworkers have talked about it.

I recycle, try to waste as little as possible, and garden, but "green" is such a fucking scam. California banning non-electric cars would finally kill the state for good, and I'm not sure if that would be a blessing or a curse for the rest of us.

Dunno where you live but out in rural areas it’s just not going to happen. The Ford lightning is nothing more then a gimmick. I need a truck that can drive 150 mi round trip with a 20ft trailer full of hay on the back. Until we make batteries that can charge in 10 min and have an energy density that is more then an order of magnitude higher the IC will reign supreme.

For comparison the energy density in high end batteries is around .6 kW/kg. For comparison WOOD is around 30kW/kg. Petroleum products run between 40-55 kW/kg. Even accounting for the fact that IC engines are around 30-40% energy efficient (IE 30-40% of the energy stored actually gets converted energy you can use the rest is wasted as heat) batteries will never be able to compete.

Hmmm?
On one hand, my skin-flaying, border-hopping cousins. On the other hand, my likely-pedophilic, border-hopper-assisting politicians.
well, human sacrifice is better than baby raping retardation, so i welcome my human-sacrificing overlords

17 states have planned to follow California's lead.

Ignoring them as moonbats, was a giant mistake by conservatives and them and their kids are paying the price.

Corporate America and manufacturers will cuck to California to some degree unless Texas and Florida start trying to even the playing field and other red states follow them.

Potheads don't realize the government getting involved will make their weed far more expensive. Besides, as I've said in the past I really do not like the cultural push coaxing people to smoke something that makes people lose ambition and intelligence. Potheads are seen as even more useless than the average alkie in factory jobs for a reason.

How many people are buying those trucks new? Eventually there won’t be any new trucks to buy except Toyotas and Nissans, and maybe even those will decide to go electric.

As someone who had to dump a lover in college because he became a degenerate stoner, I agree.

For every fucking story in the media of a celebrity artist who "made a work of art/music/movie while stoned", you have 10 more people for who weed just makes them consume a week's worth of groceries in one sitting, or worse: puts them into a narcolyptic stupor where they fall asleep after getting high or become a degenerate smoking huge amounts to sustain their high while giggling like an idiot.

Keep it restricted to medical usage only if you have to have it available to the public. Anything else is madness.

Even counting the mass of the engine and transmission, weight still favors the ICE. Gay electric shit should be relegated to Toyota-style continuously variable transmissions.

Oz went to a grocery store to get vegetables for crudite and remarked about the skyrocketing costs, and of course the dems latched on to the fancy sounding thing as opposed to the real argument. Crudite is worn into the ground faster than Covefe. Fetterman then thinks he's one of the people by showing a premade vegetable party platter, which is insulting to blue collar people when you look at it, as if they're all just relishing in Roseanne-era stereotypes.

What Oz needs to hit hard is not only was Fetterman's wife an illegal, but he is against school choice yet sends his two kids to private school costing $34,000 a year.

I'm from PA. I've never heard of crudite before he released this video. My wife, also from PA thought that FETTERMAN had somehow made and released this video its so cringy. We are a humble hillfolk who subsist on corn, turkey, and venison. He's an out of touch filthy rich dude, in the same vein of Mitt Romney and his dancing horse.

Crudite is just a fancy French word for veggie appetizers; it's an affectation of East Coast social climbers, who like to use a lot of French words, especially when it comes to food, like serviettes, vinaigrette, Julienne, etc. The only time I ever saw it used without cringe outside a legit French restaurant was in Mexico City, which had been occupied by the French in the 19th century and the locals adopted and adapted French cuisine in that city. It's used mostly to describe a dish that may not be necessarily French, like Julienned vegetables in good and not always expensive, restaurants.

Oz was born in the USA so it's a little cringe but its not a hanging crime.

tbf it's still pretty early in development and seems to be mostly "a guy has a video"
