The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Let me make it clearer for you: the deep red republican state is only to happy to control energy use of its citizens. And no, liberals do not "want it as a way of life."
****

Are these limits, the one time example in Texas you showed- now daily law of the land?

And.... since it's not a way of life.... I agree with you.

*NO limits on how much gas people buy and use. No punitive taxations on suc.

*NO limits on car washing, showering, swimming and water used for such wonderful fun purposes.

*NO limits on consuming things like meat.

*NO limits on water usage for toilet flushing.

*NO limits or ability to control people's usage of air conditioning and heating.

*NO limits on what people drive be it a tiny car, or a huge SUV.

*NO mandates on fuel efficiency - people can decide how much gas to guzzle.

No coaxing, taxing, or any mechanism to discourage such.


CommonOne for President. I don't follow day to day politics of declining America any longer so I'm not sure who to suggest for VP. Maybe Tulsi. Commonone will tell the energy-Fossil-Water-Nannies to buzz off. VP VP....hmmm good question. Perhaps Mark Warner, D Va. Or if we want to attract the Rust Belt - Sherrod Brown. But frankly...... these days, it seems Dick or Liz Cheney would fit the bill because Dems want WW3 soon.
