      Hey Scotty! Would you like to go to China to review their cars? I think people would watch your videos and honest reviews about them. Their manufacturers should be confident enough to give you cars to dig deep in them, since they export them to Russia and Europe.

      A good question to ask is WHY are places people want to live in expensive? Could be more than just nice weather. Might it be corporate and real estate price gouging. Maybe big oil taking advantage of us, KNOWING we don't want to buy crappy and expensive EV's and ride the bus. Maybe life is lots cheaper elsewhere - BECAUSE not as many want to be there, and deal w the backwards hillbilly politics!

    Here's one you'll love. Goodwill industries ("industries" what's that mean, I call em the Greedywill now) call themselves a "charity", not only do they not pay any tax, they get grant's from the government. Last I checked about 10 years ago probably now, after all their so called charitable expenses and all their other expenses combined cleared 5 billion. Yet if you go and purchase anything there you have to pay (in Illinois) over 10% in sales tax.

    In Wisconsin it's called Energy Assistance. Everyone who pays a utility bill has a fee added to the cost which is used to subsidize the energy costs paid by low income users. If they personally pay the monthly bill it is credited to their account. If utilities are included in their rent they get a cash money payment directly to themselves. These payments can be fairly large. $1,000 once a year isn't unusual. This has been going on for decades. A pretty cozy relationship between "government" and giant corporations.

Soft touch coatings almost always become sticky after a few years. I have a handful of old electronics that are like this...old cell phones, point and shoot cameras, etc. I wish companies would stop using the stuff. Soft touch used to be nice but now that we know it becomes sticky, I'll take hard "cheap" feeling plastic any day.

    Under the previous administration our strategic oil reserves were completely filled up in case of emergency. Under this administration they have pulled it down to some of the lowest levels ever, to artificially lower the price of gas to help in an election. The problem is now oil is over $80 a barrel and this administration cannot afford to replace the oil that it took out for Time of war. They have declared war on our countries energy. Russia shouldn’t even have enough money to fight the war they are fighting right now if it wasn’t for all the gas and oil they were selling. It was not like that under the previous administration. Other countries were told not to buy oil and gas from them or the United States would not deal with them. Russia was broke. Iran was broke. Look at them now. As we beg the Saudi‘s and everybody else for oil and junk tar, after this administration called them a pariah then they laugh in his face and tell him no when he begs for more oil. These people are nuts we need real leader ship and we need to be energy independent so have plenty of gas and oil, becoming energy independent and dominant again and get energy prices down and inflation down and pay off some debt. Drill baby drill! And refine it in our country. The cost of Energy is the biggest driver of inflation.
