Drop him for who?

They’ll not nominate a Justice Democrat as that won’t make corporate donors money. I don’t see how anyone or anything could recover the resultant shitshow except the Justice Democrat platform.

Kamala seemingly the only one with some name recognition, is the same vague bullshit with some identity politics, which would be inadequate.

Who else is there?

I remember that episode. Kirk didn’t follow protocol and got caught with his pants down. Before he knew what was going on the Romulans had knocked out warp drive and impulse. Scotty used the deflector dish to make a kilt of energy to catch solar radiation, moving the ship into a gaseous anomaly and then out of the neutral zone.

Spock then convinced Scotty to pretend it was dumb luck. Despite the obvious and large magnitude advantages of kilts, everyone was better off if Kirk kept his pants on.

It would be wise to remember that corporations have rights often in excess of humans (such as free speech) but lack practical human mitigation of profit motive. Your oppressor is not your savior. Don’t be conned.

The '19 3/4 ton is worth $38k. It was a great truck for my wife and I to build experience. Only now, with some experience, do we know it can be done for half the price. But, with only a little experience, we’re not quite sure what our best choice is and why.

Can’t do an electric bicycle out here for lots of reasons, first and foremost range and speed. But, we’re thinking along those lines. We’re aiming at a 650 motorcycle in the next six months.

You did give me the advice I was looking for, sorta. You had me thinking, “How could downsizing be wrong”

Yesterday, every opportunity, three times, I asked someone else that was towing (random drivers stopped) what they thought. They all agree with you: Downsizing is not good.

Also, the diesel owner wishes he’d bought a gas. The gas owners wish they’d bought a diesel.

The fact that you’re entirely happy with your F150 but will replace it with a 250 is very helpful. Much respect for moving living cargo. I think I’d want 5-10k miles before I’d trust myself to do that.

OP here: I’ve an ME Auto degree. I never thought of increased tire wear. It makes perfect sense. Great explanation. Thank you.
