I’d send the kids out there to charge them up. A generator might be handy if they destroy the power supply.

Those with EV’s should pull their horse in a trailer or at least strap a bicycle to to the bumper-good luck finding a charging station that actually is in working order 🤠


Flakes,, are you seeing any positive point with EV at all?

I live long way from the metro area yet we have charging stations popping up.. and for christmas I went to a slightly larger small town and at one station they had a set of 24 charging station under roofs , but not sides..

so if thing are getting done up in this vacation area of low population. it should be going on in other areas as well..

All that said, and I think until most of the wrinkles are worked out Hi bred vehicles should get more attention. they have been with us for some time and work very well.. with both gas and electric to power the car, you can stop at any gas station and just driver forever.. My son picked up one just around turkey day and has been very happy with it.. very nice car.. nuts, can even remember the model

I will get a nice long cord so if one catches on fire it won’t hurt anything.

All hybrids come with COEXIST painted on the doors and a permanent Biden/Harris sticker on the bumper.
No self respecting MAGA MURCAN would have a sissy hybrid.

Yup good plan. In the summer there are two or three a week catching in fire on the way to Vegas. You never hear about it on the news but I've a friend in the towing business and I see what he brings in. The fires burn hot and quick, sometimes the drivers never make it out. The doors lock when you put it in gear. When the battery shorts you can't unlock the doors.be ready to kick the windshield out if you have a long drive on a hot day.

This importing food is why it cost Americans so much to live. America grows it's own beef, pork, poultry, fruits and vegetables but is forced to pay high market prices for imported. My daughter ended up paying $1.25 lb for the cow she raised with friend. Freezers full of every piece of beef you could want.

I'll stick to my beef. But my garden was fruitful this year, we gave away a lot of produce.

Due to bad weather in the midwest last year a lot of people lost their herd due to lack of feed.

There is that much less beef around which is the explanation of the imports.

Expect beef prices to soar again!

Not that i care since i am a beef farmer myself. 🤗i raise black angus. Small-scale of course.


Hey X, that was a small part of herd reduction. Away from media headlines........ FDA culled herds for disease, paid ranchers over market. Ranchers have repeatedly stated, no test for disease was conducted.
But the largest reason was due to ranchers high fertilizer cost (growing feed) high diesel cost and soaring feed cost. Ranchers culled back there herds to historic low numbers. This falls cattle to market, processing plant paid ranchers on the spot, two times this year's market price for next year's cattle (in advance) due to projected historical low cattle herds over the next three years.
So two times price per head? Think processing plants will sell meat 2X or more likely increase their bottom line with meat Shortages? Expect $16-18 pet pound ground beef, the green agendas wet dream....thanks Biden or I should say, the shadow handlers of this Administration.
Combine with hundreds of major food processing plants, warehouse burnt to the ground, shipping delays, nations not exporting foods to America and then add droughts/flooding.
Americans are in deep trouble, and it's (food shortages) are already begun.
