Will UAW Strike?

I see somebody actually liked it, so somebody understands his hieroglyphics

If the government offers incentives, are people wrong for using them? The government offers tax write offs, I imagine those that use them are wrong too?

Someone will try. Then they will push for paying people to do nothing. The 'homeless union' coming to the Bay Area, Spring '24. Haha

Universal Basic Income is already being tried in places. Everyone gets a little money for breathing.

And the left have notoriously hated tax write offs!

I'm really curious if any of you arguing about the environmental impact of EVs vs gas cars has ever bothered to read the actual peer-reviewed scientific research on the subject.

Unfortunately, some will just dismiss whatever disagrees with their existing world-view.

Post Covid, ”science/scientific research” has been largely ruined.
I used to believe doctors, scientists & experts.

Now I find myself more often believe in “follow the money”. A sad and cynical time I find myself and millions of others in.

Can you blame them?

Ventilators that kill people? Masks proven ineffective? Overpriced mostly ineffective vaccinations with built in kick backs for those who took them Given to children with literally 0% chance of dying?

Those were all pushed by scientists.

My mother received $10’s of thousands of dollars in cancer treatments and lived less than a year. Her quality of life in that year was terrible. Chemo & radiation. All peer reviewed, I’m sure.

Money & fame is all it seems people seek now.

I've seen those conspiracy theories as well. Most have been thoroughly debunked.

Frankly, I'll believe someone who has devoted their life to working in a field long before I'll believe 99% of the conspiracy theory crap that shows up on the internet - I particularly don't trust articles that don't cite their sources or those that cite sources but cherry pick quotes out-of context or misleadingly edit quotes to create an impression other than what the source indicates. Another big one are the articles which try to dodge and outright lie by posing it as a question ("could it be that...")

Truth be told, a ton of new trucks were sold the past 3 years.

When I'm motoring down the road, I do see quite a few late model (and overpriced) trucks and I think to myself... There goes yet another fat payment book with the finance company getting wealthy and the owner, owning a depreciating investment which is in reality, the poorest investment one can make.

You'll never see a late model vehicle in this driveway, never. I have much better ways of investing the funds I have. There is almost no return on investment on any vehicle except in very rare instances. For the most part, they are all losers.
