I talk to Mac often. Between supply (article), distribution (just try to build a new power line), supply chain (250 weeks for substation transformers), it's a pipe dream.

absolutely! ... I call it another portion of the #wealthSiphon via fiat ... it's sad that more folk aren't re'volt'ing...

What floors me is that the wealth siphon is so obvious and the middle class is still so tepid about the issue. Do they not feel it sufficiently? The corporately owned government is not soaking us of everything, ....yet. They are soaking us slowly and will add costs for end of life so that our children will be left nothing. This crap got started with dumb*** boomers selling the family farms, and then getting reverse mortgages. The most secure middle class people I know still have farmland and won't sell it period. They know that where the government is driving dependency for basic necessities that their family will only be secure when they raise their own food, have their own well (which in most states you can fix an existing one but can't get a drilling permit for a new one), and live off the land.

Cities are much easier to manipulate and control and they use that against us to steal elections.

Feed yourself, earn enough to pay property taxes, and the bastards have a hard time getting at you!

Evidently a battery pack caught on fire on the assembly line. My Son-in-Law had a deposit on one of these things. He said last night he got a txt msg that this money would be refunded. He is happy because he just found a good deal on a Chevy last month and didn't want the Ford now anyway.

my daughter is now old enough to where I no longer worry (too much) coupled with her fully understanding the guilt I'll carry to my ashes for introducing a child into this bs - I'm long on record stating, "I knew better." ... I got really lucky having a daughter that received the best combination from both her parents ... #shedsTear
