Ok. Will all California restrictions ICE engines be rescinded as well? Many states have restrictions on engines that reduce performance for higher gas mileage. Multiple states also follow California limits as well as a compact. If no gas cars are sold in Cali, how can they set standards?...

Health savings accounts starting at birth. Give matching funds from the government to a certain level and allow low risk investments making 3-4% a year. Imagine $50-$100 a month per kid a month with matching money from the government until your kid is 18. Let that continue to accrue and have indi...

There’s a hospital in San Diego where 99% of all births are foreign born. Mothers cross the border, give birth in the hospital, and then get a birth certificate/SSN for their child which provides free money.
China had to crack down on flights to Guam where mothers would revel just to give birth ...

Amazon. Seriously not that bad of a place to work. They’re in operation 24hrs a day and have great management training for ops. They get a bad image because they have strict minimum standards and will let anyone go if they under perform. Its like a 33% time on task packing shite....

I can spend 30s reading the OT and find out what is going on in BR. Once you learn how to spot the morons, the poli board has good linked articles to news and analysis.

Looked at the new AT4s a month ago. Dealer only offered me 50% of what I paid for my vehicle after less than 2 years of ownership. They offered me 31k and have a similar model on sale for 53k. Dealerships need to feel more pain for the bullshite since 2021....
