Ford's Jim Farley

-

 Ford's Jim Farley is calling on American's do rally behind electric vehicles stating they are superior and are super smooth with great acceleration.  Even claiming he owns an F150 Lightening.  He then claims that America needs to lead the EV market and not cede our leadership position to other countries. 

Do you think Jim bought his F150 shitbox?  No.  Second - he wants American's to rally behind electric vehicles because no one wants them and Ford is losing 100,000USD on every electric vehicle they sell.  The only way they can stop losing money is by scaling their ev production.  EVs are not a superior product.  They're stupid.  Yeah, it has 300 miles of range when you charge at night.  But I'm sure Farley has a cat 2 charger for his house, if not his own super charger.  The range decreases in cold weather or when hauling a load.  

Here's the deal - Ford followed Biden's lead and is losing a ton of money by doing what the government wanted instead of what the consumer wanted.  Like why did Ford and every other manufacturer jump on this band wagon?  It's like a Joe Biden bukaki festival.  

It irritates the shit out of me that some jackass like Joe Biden can declare the future of transportation is electric and then place all these cafe regulations on traditional cars making it nearly impossible for an ICE car to meet them.  Because "they" don't want people driving gas powered cars.  They're bad for the environment.  Yadayadayada.  Maybe they wouldn't be so bad for the environment if they wouldn't stop cutting down all the trees to build roads and new neighborhoods.

Like it or not, America is built a certain way.  A reliance on automobiles, a desire for freedom to move about the country at will, and the dream of owning a home.  None of this is conducive to not having a car.  A car is freedom.  

Does anyone in government think American's want to live in high rise apartment buildings and walk everywhere?  That model may work in NY, but does it work anywhere else?  Maybe China or Japan?  

I recently read Chevron doctrine has been overruled - thereby limiting the power of federal agency regulators.  It's about time.  These unelected bureaucrats placing laws and restrictions on the books without voter approval has been an abuse of power for nearly 50 years.  It's time to stop and I am pleased the Supreme Court has ruled to repeal the power unelected bureaucrats have been reeling onto American's for decades.  No more EPA garbage coming from Jennifer Granholm.  No more racial injustice nonsense coming from Pete Butigeg or Janet Yellen.  No more willfully breaking immigration laws by Mayorkas.  These people need to be reigned in and the Supreme Court agrees.  Maybe our institutions aren't broken.  They've just become bureaucratic machines that accumulated power little by little until they had a lot.  Now their dicks have become too big for their britches and someone's cutting them down to size.

I shoulda been a mechanic

-
I often say I should have been a mechanic or a carpenter.  Probably mechanic.  Our front door lock mechanism has been acting up.  It has a typical entry from the front where you push down with your thumb to turn the cylinder to open the door.  The back of the door door knob fell off because it had gotten loose and stripped out the holes.  Turns it out it was much more than that - I had to figure out how to get the entire front pull door handle off to fix it because the latch mechanism fell apart.  I learned this after replacing the door knob and it was still not working properly.  I figured out how to get the pull door handle off and it hit the ground and fell apart into like a dozen different pieces.  I had never seen the mechanism together....  with some trial and error I figured out how it works and was able to time the mechanism and put it back together.  I rebuilt it!!  All the plates, gears, levers, pins, springs and gears. ...

My Mom Died

-
On Monday my mom proclaimed the promise of her baptism. After years of suffering from dementia, she was restored; made whole on the other side. One thing you may not know about my mom is she was tough as nails while having the grace of an angel. She carried my dad through some medical scares and was a huge advocate to him getting the care he needed with her medical background as a registered nurse. Roughly 10 years ago I was charged with taking mom back to Pennsylvania to see her dad, my pappy when he moved into a nursing home. We went to his house and there had been some changes to the back porch. It was my job to take care of mom. I saw my uncle and leapt up onto the raised porch. There used to be a railing around the porch. Mom tried to do the same and tripped on the ledge letting out a yell. Her leg got pretty torn up and was bleeding pretty bad. We got her into the house and decided she needed to go to the hospital. Mom never flinched or complained about the situati...

I've seen things

-
The last couple days of my mom's life...  don't quite know what to say about them.  I remember last Sunday when I came to her house and saw her slumped in the chair barely able to move after the medication fell out of her mouth and onto her shirt.  No one was available to change her shirt.  I asked my Dad if he would do it and he declined.  I did it.  It was the most awkward thing.  I had her told the clean shirt up to cover herself as I carefully removed the dirty shirt.  I planted by eyes next to her head looking at the back to her chair and was able to help my Mom be comfortable while preserving her dignity.  There are some things about your parents that you shouldn't know.  Like what an 80 year old body looks like while deprived of nutrients and exercise....  So there was that. Then seeing my Mom in the hospital bed after she could no longer walk.  Laying there with her head cocked to the side and her mouth open as dying pr...
