The EPA allows fiberglass to be used in mattresses - the same ones sprayed with fire retardant... ONLY the rich can afford the ones NOT filled with fiberglass...

"I bought a nice-ish new ICE car in Dec because I saw this coming."

You should find a nice acre with a pole barn that will accommodate between 10-12 ICE automobiles in their snug weatherproof car covers, with appropriate security and fire controls. In 20 years, you could hand over your children an investment that grew exponentially and outperformed every other single investment.

Every last pig in that agency should be hitched to the back bumper of an ICE powered pickup truck and dragged down 10 miles of gravel road.

Didn’t the Supremes just rule that the EPA couldn’t just make up rules - that these had to be passed as laws by Congress?

They'd just organize the masses of homeless and attack us in different ways. This works better...

Find a grove of tall trees and 'decorate' them...

You spelled “suck a$$” wrongly.

Get ready for something like that here - if you’ve got an ICE automobile, learn how to keep it running - who knows if you’ll ever by able to buy another one.

That depends. I have 3 older ICE vehicles, here in California. A 1966 which is currently exempted from Smog testing. But the other two, a 1995 and 2001, have had issues in passing Smog testing this past year. The rules keep changing. For the first ten years or so, I didn't have to get the 2001 truck Smog tested because it was considered of commercial use. Then the rules changed, and I had to have it tested every 2 years. The rules have changed, tightening restrictions on emissions and making it more difficult to pass. No pass, then no registration for operating on roads.

I didn't have a problem until this past year, where they failed the test and I had to seek resolution. Got them to pass on the 3rd test. I don't know if they'll pass a couple years later. The government will keep ratcheting up the rules until these cars are eliminated from being used on the road.

So do I, but with Neuropathy in both feet, and Sciatica on the R/S lower back/hip/leg, I can only do 2-3 miles per week, now. I miss the 20mile hikes.

“What ever happened to the impeachments we were promised?”

They’re still chasing crackhead Hunter. It’s “safe” because even if they somehow got the DOJ to follow up, they know Hunter would be pardoned. Thus keeping their “do nothing” record intact.

I hope this becomes the ‘tipping point’ for ridding America of all the lowlife, subhuman, hate-America, leftists, commies, liberals, socialists, progressives, Marxists, fascists, anarchists etc etc etc... by any means necessary.

It seems there are two choices going forward.

One, buy an electric vehicle.

Two, ride a bike.

My 1974 Porsche 914 cost me $3800 used. By the time I sold it, I had spent nearly another $9000 making it pass CA smog tests. I hauled it to Idaho and parked it in my garage. No smog testing in Pocatello. Eventually, I sold it to a friend who likes twisting wrenches. I never had it on the road in Idaho after hauling it up from San Diego. I ran into my friend at the grocery store. He asked if I was aware that the black rubber on the front bumper starts peeling at 110 MPH. I never took it faster than 80 MPH. The car has been sold to a new owner with deep pockets. He is doing a full restoration.

If the EPA is concerned pollution and going after diesel-powered cars and light trucks why don’t the go after the big polluters like the coal fuel burning commercial jets the dump millions of tons of the what they don’t burn.

OH WAIT the high kickback bidder always wins.

Biden turns light out

Good luck getting seniors to part with the last remnants of independence they have to buy an overpriced EV. I don’t see that working out very well for the democrats.

There are more than two choices.

I have worked over 20 years part time in the auto parts industry.

I work on my own cars as well as family and friends.

People now know already nothing or very little about cars the way they are now. The more complicated they get, the bigger divide between the “Knows” and the “Don't Knows”
Working on cars will only get more expensive. If the extended warranty people keep up the current marketing campaigns, more and more people will have to spend the money on them.
Hell, even my “underground cash only no paperwork shops” are raising their labor prices.

The EPA etc are just ignoring the SCOTUS rulings.
