Absolutely so true and reminds us that the old shit you use works better and could care less what others think. That's why I drive a 20-year-old vehicle. No payments and it works just fine. No need to be like the pretend clowns in commercials. My electric car I can't afford and the high cost of electricity. The batteries that are toxic and a shelf life for each vehicle. No thanks.

What is even more sad is that so few people realize that we are committing environmental destruction on a greater scale with green energy. See the wind generator blades kill large birds and the blades when they need replacing, are cut into approximately 23-foot sections and buried in landfills to be there for eternity. Solar panels, expected by 2050 to have 250 Million Tons in landfills leaking lead and other elements into the ground. Ethanol that uses fuel to make and costs maybe more per gallon (Gasoline is more efficient than ethanol. One gallon of gasoline is equal to 1.5 gallons of ethanol.) to make than sells for. If it leaks into the ground, it is really, really bad for the environment. But the government subsidizes it.

So, we out-source our production to China and other third world countries with forced labor and crappy labor and environmental laws and procedures. Then wonder why it breaks and falls apart. Raise your hand for that item you opened, and it actually didn't even work. Low cost, shit, throw it away. Well thank you Congress and Senate for your caring. Make sure the corporations' pony-up for campaign donations. Maybe bobble head AOC and her lemmings can figure out how to re-cycle all of the green energy crap that continues to flow into our land dumps. Naw, never mind, the green energy sector has bought the so-called law makers and owns them. So welcome to the new perfect caring world.
