Joe Biden, forever stupid
 

You can tell a lot about a man about what he fears most, and with Franklin Foer's recent expose of White House doings, Joe Biden's biggest insecurity seems to be his fear of "being perceived as stupid."  [...]

But, but, but Bidenomics is working.

Hmm, more vote buying?

 

Biden plans even bigger student loan handout, dumping the bill on you

 

Just like Biden’s past schemes, this policy does not "forgive" debt. It transfers the burden of $559 billion in federal student loans from those who willingly took out the loans onto Americans who chose to not go to college or already sacrificed to pay off their loans. 

 

This week, my Republican colleagues and I introduced a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution of disapproval to block this unfair and irresponsible IDR policy. The resolution prevents average Americans, 87% of whom don’t have student loans, from carrying the financial burden of someone else’s student debt.

As my Grandmother used to say, "as lost as a goose".    The office of POTUS seems more like POTATUS sometimes.

Karine Jean-Pierre Gives Laughable Excuse for Biden Walking out of Medal of Honor Ceremony

I suppose the Democrats will come up with a system where the Federal government takes over this industry.  I think there is a word for that type of system…

 

I do wonder when they will start restricting air travel (except for those deemed approved) in the name of their new “green” religion?

 

Trucker warns Biden's EPA regulations would be 'catastrophic' for the American food supply

The EPA estimates the technology required to meet the new rule’s standards will cost between $2,568 and $8,304 per vehicle, but the American Truck Dealers Association (ATDA) estimates it is more likely a $42,000 increase per truck. In total, the ATDA projects the associated costs of this new regulation on the country could reach $55 billion over the lifetime of the program. 
 

"A new clean diesel long haul tractor typically costs in the range of $180,000 to $200,000," Kucharski said. "A comparable battery electric tractor costs upwards of $480,000, that's about a $300,000 upcharge, [which] is cost prohibitive for the overwhelming majority of motor carriers." 

 

"This mandate is based on brand-new technology, number one, and they're supporting green energy" above the economy, he added. "I support green energy, but it's extremely frustrating because it's this new mandate that they are forcing... truckers are nonstop overregulated."

I know France restricts internal flights but they have a good train system.

My road trips would be a lot more pleasant if tractor / trailers, diesel or EV, got off the interstate. Long haul freight should be moved by train. I will not lament the death of long haul trucking.

I once looked at taking the train from Nice to Paris, and Air France was just too convenient. Even though upon arrival at Orly, a bomb scare prevented Uber from coming to airport to pick us up for several hours. The map suggests why: France is mountainous country. There are parts of Europe where trains for passenger traffic just aren't the answer.

Nice to Paris is about 6 hours on a train.

one potential problem with that is the loss of revenue from trucks to pay for new roads.  sure, heavier vehicles cause more damage, but the taxes on fuels would push that cost onto the average daily work driver.

IOW Amazon and Walmart shoppers are subsidizing freeways. So the more I buy from those stores, the less I pay at the pump.

 

And so the less I buy from those stores, the more I pay at the pump. 

 

If we remove the subsidy, I will pay more for gas and Amazon and Walmart will lower their costs, allowing me to afford the higher priced gas.

 

Works for me.

 

I do not know if most Amazon and Walmart shoppers drive, but I am certain most drivers shop at Amazon and Walmart.
