    I'm not sure how me calling out his BS == him playing me. I've got no illusions of changing his mind, but it was a slow news day.

    I'm not trying to say that's not happening and I've read similar reporting elsewhere. That said, as per SOP Brent was only telling half the story and he was cherry picking certain bits of the article and couldn't be bothered to paste a link that gave the whole story.

    Thanks for sharing...From the synopsis, it reminds me a lot of the late 90's/early 2000's when everybody was worried about 'peak oil' but with the added scariness of climate change built on top of it. My first thought is that the worst-case, 'Mad Max' scenario isn't impossible, but anybody predicting that has just a blurry of a crystal ball as the rest of us. Nobody knows exactly how much longer the 'easy oil' will be available (and what we're getting today isn't easy by the standards of 20 years ago) or just how the transition to renewables will go, how bad the effects of climate change will be in the foreseeable future..... A person could get pretty preoccupied thinking about all those variables. I guess it'd be easier to just ignore the problem and call anybody thinking about it a leftie cuck

    You mean the factories that were built last year haven't paid for themselves yet?!?!? I don't have a fancy MBA like you, but I'd have assumed it would take some time for those to become profitable.

    Ford's revenue last year was $170B, to put it in a bit of perspective. One could just as easily say that only a delusional Luddite would declare that all EV's are unviable because one company decided to delay some expansion plans.

    I quite regularly make a fool of myself, but you can't see my current lack of pants so I'm not sure what you're talking about. I can't speak for the rest of my ilk, unfortunately. As usual, you took some selective quotes from the article. For example, you could have gone with: Or Or EV's are the direction where things are going. You can plug your ears and stomp your feet and call out a minor adjustment in the rollout as -ABSOLUTE PROOF THAT EV'S ARE SHITE-, but that'll go down as well as your assurances of Tesla's bankruptcy years ago.

    Well it's in quotation marks and in a post from Brent, so it must be true...FFS you still haven't figured out how to link a source? Is your aversion to EV's just a lack of technical abilities?

    You have any evidence of that, or you just like how it feels? I'm sure that range anxiety plays a big part in some peoples' decision to not get an EV, but there are plenty of EV offerings that'll outlast most bladders on a road trip. The specific model I'm looking to buy isn't there yet, but will be soon enough. You can dig in your heels on the Luddite angle and celebrate every tiny setback of EV's along the way, but there's a finite supply of old dinosaur blood in the ground...and the whole climate change thing, but I know that's not your jam

    How frequently do you buy new vehicles? Rather than asking if somebody owns an EV right now, a better question may be if their next vehicle will be an EV. Personally, I’ve driven Minis since 2009 and I’m holding off getting a new car until the Mini 2025 SE drops. The range on electric Minis up till then is pretty crap.

    L@@KS like you’ve got a bad case of BDS!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That assumes that they’re able to think past the current news cycle, which I think is giving them more credit than they deserve.

    Maybe, if he’s got the bandwidth to focus on anything other than the Cohen testimony in the fraud trial today.

    My understanding was that the game plan wasn’t necessarily to remove her, but rather to exploit a loophole in the constitution that states the justice cannot ‘practice office’ while impeachment is ongoing. So they impeach her, then drag their feet to slow-roll the process while she’s effectively stuck on the bench (or off the bench, as the case may be). Either way, I’m glad they’re not pulling the trigger on that whacky scheme

    That argument would pack a little more punch if he wasn’t hot on the heels of a visit to a legit war zone to convey both the support of the US to the Israelis along with a message of restraint to BeBe. But keep on your feed of independent news from Fox

    You two sure are cute together

    That's the kind of spin that'll make a fella dizzy

    Good to see your playbook hasn't changed...holding up a caricature (or 9 caricatures) of 'the woke' as evidence that anybody who's not in lockstep with you on the issue doesn't have a valid point. Ron White was right indeed.

    Well for one it's not yet the 2024 elections so your gloating, as it so often is, is ridiculously premature...For two, I'm sorry to see you're back and it seems like time to exercise the 'ignore' button

    Yes, yes they are.

    I'm looking at taking a X-country (or roughly half the country) road trip. Thinking about renting a car from TX and heading for a coast over a couple of days, then flying home. As jumpers travel lots, I figured somebody on here might have some tips/suggestions for doing this without getting bent over by the rental company for a one-way fee. A Google search on this just results in 3 pages of ads from companies offering one-way rental. Anybody have any experience/suggestions on this? Could go either way as far as driving to the coast/flying back to TX vs flying to the coast/driving back to TX. Cheers!

    Yeah they’re gonna put it through the same unimpeachable process that gave us Speaker Kevin McCarthy….

    Then why’s cousin Sandra singing?

    You don’t understand the difference between blatant lies vs changing one’s stance based on new information?….of course you don’t, forgot who I was talking to for a minute. Read my lips: no new taxes.

    After you posted a graph that was showing made-up numbers while trying to appear to be from a legit source, we entered the “Brent’s still at it with this BS” phase. I don’t think anyone was angry.

    WOW, a CHART?!?!?! You really knocked it out of the park this time Brent! I guess the URL pasted at the bottom is supposed to make you think this data came straight from the EIA. I looked through the actual EIA report that's linked there (here it is, FYI) and I don't see any of these numbers mentioned there. I'm not sure if they did some weird manipulation to make those numbers from the report, or if they just pulled them out of thin air, confident that people like you would run with it without checking anything. Which is it?
