US Postal Service Electric Vehicle Flop (2 Viewers)

[AccessBlaster]

how can you quickly tell that a vehicle is electric? excuse my ignorance on the subject,

They advertise it on the sides of the vehicle, plus dragging that extension cord behind them is a dead give away.

What should work is citizens serving as members of Congress which was the intention of the founders. Members serve one or two terms and then go home to live under the rules they made. What we have now is a protected political class. Many people in Congress have never had an actual job where their continued employment depended on their performance or had to meet a payroll. Instead of working for the country and their constitutions, they campaign for reelection and pass laws that help their donors NOT the people. Congress protects itself. It allows members to use inside knowledge to trade. It allows them to lie with impunity. It provides a slush fund to pay their legal fees when they are sued for sexual harassment. It allows them to direct funds to NGO's which then provide kickbacks Why do you think they were so upset about shutting down USAID?

Changing the way Senators are elected is worst amendment ever. At least when Senators were chosen by the state legislatures, they knew who they were beholden to. And they could be recalled if necessary.

The UK seems to be on the verge of allowing 16 year-olds to vote. It doesn't get much dumber than this which is why the Dems want it so badly for us too.

The UK seems to be on the verge of allowing 16 year-olds to vote.

Recall this famous adage: "If You Are Not a Liberal at 25, You Have No Heart. If You Are Not a Conservative at 35 You Have No Brain".
Democrats know that the young voters will unthinkingly vote for their utopian scams. That is why they push so hard for it. It benefits the party. With that in mind, the voting age should be raised to 25 where the voters would have more real world experience.

Changing the way Senators are elected is worst amendment ever.

The 17 Amendment needs to be repealed.

Simplistically, it would seem very democratic to lower the voting age and to allow the direct election of Senators. Unfortunately this debases the concept of having a constitutional republic and is march towards unfettered democracy. The very thing the Founding Fathers were against.

I actually don't have any problem with that. The voting age was still 21 when I first voted and I didn't have a clue what was going on. Although I was already losing my liberal bias as I was out in the world working and realized that government money was my money. I sort of got the reason for lowering the age to 18 a few years later. It does seem logical that if you are old enough to be drafted and die for your country, you ought to have the right to vote but that's just the influence of the Viet Nam war in me speaking now. We should never go into a war we have no intention of winning. Fight to win or don't enter the fray. The last war we fought to win was WWII because we were personally under attack. The last 80 years of wars have been other people's wars that we should not have joined.

I have to admit that even at this late stage of life when I really should know better, I can see the "logic" of many Progressive ideas. Then I shake my head and remind myself that not all things that sound good on paper can actually work in the real world.
