This Labor Day, people all over the country will be savoring the last days of summer with ice cream. But some New York City politicians want to eliminate even that small sweet treat. What does New York have against ice cream?

If the climate change crazies actually cared about the planet, they would lead by example and do away with their lavish lifestyles. But, they won’t. They’re nothing but a bunch of hypocrites.
I remember, decades ago, the Good Humor man and Mr. Softee trucks came around. Haven’t seen those in decades. Nowadays, beat up old vans, are the ones who drive around selling ice cream. I don’t know if Good Humor and Mr.Softee went out of business, or why they aren’t around anymore.
“... The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”
― George Orwell, 1984
When I was a kid in the 60’s visiting relatives in Memphis, there was a ice cream vendor that came around in a circular shaped vehicle with a umbrella-like top. I don’t know what company it was from, maybe Good Humor, but I was a kid and didn’t much care about that.............
Climate Crisis solved by new Federal Law - no one is allowed to emit more than a cubic meter of CO2 per year. Meters will be installed at user’s expense.

Is there nothing that these crazy libs and dems won’t want to ban from our lives??? Maybe when they get all of us back into living in caves they might be satisfied, on second thought, nothing would be enough for them.

Excerpt:
If you don’t remember Merrymobiles, you didn’t live in Memphis in the 1960s.
The brainchild of a local ice-cream vendor named Robert Heffelfinger, these red, white, and blue merry-go-rounds on three wheels rolled down suburban streets in the summertime. The putt-putt of the little one-cylinder engines and tinkling bells suspended from the aluminum canopy told every kid in the neighborhood, “The Merrymobile’s here!” and they’d scramble outside and wait on the curb, their fists clutching nickels and dimes. The driver could reach into freezers on either side of his seat and hand out ice-cold popsicles, Buried Treasures, Drumsticks, Eskimo Pies, and other mouthwatering delights. The prices were a treat, too. Back then, a popsicle cost six cents, an ice-cream sandwich a dime.
At one time, some 80 Merrymobiles operated out of the Merrymobile Ice Cream Company’s headquarters on Broad, but by 1973 the fleet had dwindled to a dozen. When the firm went out of business a few years later, most of the little cars ended up in a dump in Tipton County (or so I heard). But a handful survived, and one from the early 1950s, identified by a metal tag as number 43, sat forlornly outside Sid’s Auto Frame Alignment Shop in Millington for years.

Thanks. Wow, what a strange looking vehicle to see driving down the road.
See Post #10!...................
Apparently they were only used in Memphis!
I remember them like it was yesterday!........................
They had only three wheels so they could turn around in the middle of the street, like a forklift.....................
Apparently there is a guy that has collected and restored some of them!

Is that Mitch McConnell ?
For a little fun, tell a climate change cultmember that if they actually cared about “global warming” they would be strong proponents of nuclear power.
