    Hunter Biden countersues shop owner over laptop files, Hunter’s lawyers says may or may not be his.

    His lawyer’s reasoning defies logic but Abbie Lowell isn’t an idiot. That’s today’s law?

        I have no idea if this is real or not since it is anonymous, but I guess it is plausible. However, I am not that familiar with EV's and Tesla's.

        From an anonymous Wisconsin State trooper
        Is this the sign of real progress?

        I'm not a fan of all electric vehicles. Too many variables affecting
        battery consumption. Definitely not suited for cold climates.
        The following experience just cements my distaste for EV's, especially
        Tesla’s.
        I get sent to a motorist assist the other day, at the start of our
        snowstorm. Tesla on the side of the interstate, dead battery. So, I
        arrive on scene and the occupants have the right-front door open.
        They tell me that they can't open any other doors, because the battery is
        dead. Sure enough. Can't open the doors from inside or outside. The
        driver also can't get her license out of the glove box where she put
        it during their trip. Because the glovebox opens electronically... and
        the battery is dead.
        You actually have to use the computer in the
        center of the dash to open the glovebox.
        They said they had 10% battery left, should've been plenty to get from
        that location to the charging station nearby. Then all of a sudden,
        the whole car shut off and they coasted to the shoulder.
        So now I have to find them a tow. No one wants to tow EV's. Finally
        found one company to do it. 8-mile trip to the charging station in
        Tomah. $1,000! Normal vehicle on the flatbed would've been $150.
        So now we're at the Tesla superchargers. Guess what. Can't open the
        charging port because the battery is dead!!! The ports open, you
        guessed it, electronically!!! And we also can't open the
        doors now (had to close the one open door when it was loaded onto the
        wrecker). The owner's manual is in the on-board computer, but the
        battery is dead.
        I got the occupants to a store where they'd be warm while calling the
        rental company to figure out how to charge this POS, so I'm not sure
        of the outcome. I had to leave for a crash report.
        EV's may be the way, someday, but certainly not today!! I'll stick
        with my dinosaur burner.

            I saw a story the other week on EV's. Car companies (Ford, etc.) are pushing new EV's hard because governments are saying that the old dinosaur's won't be allowed to be sold after 2030 (I don't remember the exact date, but 2030 is close). Without subsidies, car companies couldn't sell EV's because of the cost, and they are still having difficulties selling them. It sounds like a plan with only a few on board, but like it (good for you or not) or not, it's going to happen.

            Inflation/spending is happening too, like it or not. It's too bad the feds are working against each other. Fed Bank raises interest rates to curb inflation, and the Washington continues to spend to raise inflation. What a PLAN.

            Biden says we have only a 31 Trillion deficit, but actually it is a 51 Trillion deficit. We may be headed for a deficit that there is no way back without raising taxes to a huge amount.

              I think California and a couple of other states are banning the sale of ICE vehicles after 2035. Who knows, by then we might even have something that is a reasonable alternative.

              The financial hole is actually deeper than your numbers reveal because they exclude the dramatic effects of Social Security and Medicare, which is regrettable because American workers fully expect the government to honor the benefits they are earning with their payroll taxes. Indeed, a major reason reforming these programs is so challenging is that political leaders mostly agree with workers that these programs represent a social contract that deserves a special and protected status in the political process.

              With Social Security and Medicare included in the assessment, the federal government’s unfunded liabilities in 2021 are $93.1 trillion, or nearly 400 percent of annual GDP. That compares with $11.1 trillion as calculated in the 2001 Treasury report, which was 105 percent of GDP.

              But not to worry our elected representatives and their unelected appointees (please don't call them leaders) are laser focused on solving the Social Security and Medicare issues and it's one area where they don't play politics. Oh, wait a minute, I may be thinking of some other issue.

                What happened in 1965 to cause healthcare spend as a percent of GDP to skyrocket beyond astronomical proportions?
