That works too

That’s so fucked up. Sorry, don’t know how else to describe it.

Not that we should have the contracts and control a country like that, but I’d like to think there could have been a win/win. Would have been nice to have a friendly and supported Iraq, on its way to healing some, at the end of the day.

Overall, a failure of US leadership on all fronts. Any positive results may have just been a bridge too far in the minds of politicians and rallying the public just not worth it for them. Silly.

Lord. The irony. Could have had a little US in Iraq after us essentially living there forever. Now it’s Chinatown

As I understand it, the $7.5k isn’t any EV, but EVs that were assembled/built primarily in the US. Many weren’t compliant with that legislation. Not out of spite or anything, but because manufacturing wasn’t quite ready to comply. That led to a number of vehicles sitting ineligible for the 7.5k break. As well as consumer confusion over which ones could be discounted. Overall, a transitional growing pain for a crappy industry that relies on monthly sales.

And a follow up nap 😴

I thought that was the joke. Of course the whole planet isn’t cold all at once.

True. Though they have been stuck with 30 years of damage simply reverse too.

Window dressing distraction from Ukraine anyway. Seems to be working.

Worked for a dog and cat boarding facility many moons ago. Of all my interactions with various breeds from private owners to our almost constant stream of rescued pitbulls - we were temporarily hosting/caring for. Only one breed almost took off my finger.

I needed stitches, the lead vet had to flood the wound with iodine and antibiotics.

What on earth are you talking about.

Yeah, I stuck around for the horny bit to be unpacked but it never came.

Sure you didn’t, buddy. We know it was thick and don’t blame ya.
