Scenes from #desperation Of course it’s going right to the #text message #Spam folder. Funny thing is that I haven’t voted #GOP since Bush 1 and regretted it.

Laos did something no other country has tried: it banned the import of new gas and diesel passenger cars outright. As of June 1, nearly every new car cleared for import has to be electric. the most aggressive EV mandate on the planet right now, and it has almost nothing to do with consumer demand.
