Big government loves to trod on the little guy, the citizen, the tax slave.
As history would show, economic collapse ushers in absolute tyranny; no wonder "they" can barely hide their agenda for financial ruin.
Just take a look at this breakdown of Rand Paul’s Festivus report which details nearly half a trillion dollars just in interest on the national debt because people like Nancy Pelosi and Mitt Romney remain beholden to self and special interests using our money.
Enter the newest EPA “regulations” — what a nice euphemism for the illegality of the Fourth Branch of bureaucrats making de facto laws! From a piece by Candace Hathaway at Blaze Media:
The Environmental Protection Agency announced it would enforce tighter pollution regulations on heavy-duty trucks, vans, and buses. The stricter nitrogen dioxide emissions standards could lead to higher operating costs for the trucking industry….
The EPA’s new regulations, which impact vehicles manufactured after 2027, aim to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by approximately 50% by 2045.
According to the EPA, the recently announced emission rule is the ‘strongest-ever national clean air standards to cut smog- and soot-forming emissions from heavy-duty trucks.’ The EPA boasted that the new standard is 80% stronger than current regulations.
The agency admits that the more stringent standards are meant to force the trucking industry to transition away from diesel-powered vehicles and replace fleets with electric vehicles.

You read that right: in a world where cold weather prevents EVs from charging, water exposure leads to spontaneous combustion, and inefficient technology leaves people stranded, comrades in the bureaucracy want to force the entire diesel trucking industry to comply with the Green agenda measures. For reference, a trucking industry website stated that there are “more than 15 million commercial vehicles” in the U.S., and “76% are powered by diesel engines.” Simple math would therefore show that the EPA set its sights on 11,400,000 commercial trucking vehicles that make our world go round.
An overwhelming majority of us are utterly dependent upon truckers and their diesel engines; they are the lifeblood of our First World (although rapidly deteriorating) economy… and the big government elites know this.
Forced compliance with the latest “regulations” from the EPA would see the entire fleet of the trucking industry switch to electric, and with that, the government would have unfettered control. Just take a look at what’s going on in Germany — from an article yesterday:
A government agency in Germany announced plans to remotely limit home heating and charging of electric cars…
It's not just trucking - anyone wonder why FOX News has the most viewers and NOT ONE CAR COMPANY will advertise with them..
Call when they launch that solar powered aircraft carrier. Why yes Virginia, these people ARE total fidiots! 😵
Have the deep state and MIC considered how exactly they will be able to engage in war with Russia and China - all while they cause rising inflation, create massive government debt, make Americans poorer and hobble our power supply?
It doesn’t seem well thought-out.
And we’re supposed to believe America voted for this in 2020 and again just last month.
And now IF the powers that be could only disarm all Americans they could realize their utopia by force. Amazing how many who are ignorant of history are all for disarming anyone who would dare disagree with the powers that be. And they LAUGHED at the people who warned that this would be the agenda for this administration. As is said...”those who laugh last didn’t get the joke”. Fjb IS the joke but when will his followers get the joke? Most probably when it’s far too late.
There is nothing that government considers worth less than an average man and his life. Sad but true truism which took me many years to learn.
The EPA is not living in the real world
I don’t believe that the EPA Charter allows them to determine how vehicles are powered, either directly, or by default, in this case. Something of this magnitude needs to go through Congress.
Time for a lawsuit.
Maybe the goal ISN’T to make the country better. Maybe the goal is to break the back of the United States for the betterment of China and the Cartels.

Actions speak louder than words - and ARE the underlying truth of any situation.
I have a solution for fixing global warming. Bring back leaded gasoline. If I remember correctly, leaded gasoline was the leading cause of global cooling. They got rid of it now it’s global warming. Seems like the balance it to bring back leaded gasoline, but producing it in a cleaner manner.
Goods can just sit while they perfect electric trucks , it may take decades ,LOL
if there was no climate crisis
this would be stupid
there is no climate crisis
This is no climate crisis, just another tricky day for you.
How much do the batteries required to power a semi weigh? How much room are they going to take up? How much less freight are truckers going to be able to haul to not exceed weight limits?
This is just flat out insane, not only the logistical issues of charging, but everything else that comes into play? “Our” government wants us to starve to death, among other things.
It’s the charging stations - there is not enough charging areas for a fleet of trucks at any truck stop or terminal. Very few towns have enough power to supply a completely electric truck terminal.
This is so sad in a way. Owners of electric vehicles in Olympia, Washington were waiting in line about a city block long to charge their cars. I wonder how long they had to wait. Doesn’t it take about an hour to charge up? I don’t know, I’m sure it takes a little longer than pumping gas. Do you think the owners of these vehicles are completely happy with their Tesla, leafs and other EV’s? Maybe them knowing they are personally to be praised for single handedly saving the world takes away the pain and loneliness of missing Christmas Eve with their families.
This is kind of pitiful in a way.
