    I heard a democrat explain some of this tonight. I don't know who he was, nor do I know that he speaks for AOC. But he did offer some
    corrections, his or hers, I don't know but here it is.

    Correction, we will not stop using fossil fuels, the correction is we will still use them but we will make them obsolete.

    That means Tractors, planes and ships can still work. Even your old car, but you will pay the price for that error.

    Ok! this might be possible, but I do not understand the language.

    How can fuels actually be obsolete, if even the brightest physicist/engineers can not make a plane fly without the fuels and we still need planes?
    I think the same question also applies to Tractors.

    I sort of fancy myself as a pretty good engineer, and I just can't come up with a way to make a tractor without fuel on board. An electric cord is just not going to due. A battery would have to be so damn big it would take another tractor to drag it around a large crop field. I had a job when I was 16, driving a D8 cat working a large wheat field in Eastern Oregon. The field was so large it took 13 hr to make the first pass around the outside perimeter of the field. There were 4 D8 Cats working together to plant that field. A tanker truck met us at the appropriate place each day to refuel the Cats and haul us drivers to the shower. I can replace the drivers with an autopilot , GPS and simple robot, but replacing the fuel is much more difficult.

    I voted for a gas tax to fix local roads...problem is there aren't many local roads compared to the hiway that runs through town full of sink holes...I attended a town hall meeting to talk about it and while they were bragging about the gas tax I mentioned that the roads to all the gas stations were still full of holes....at the school I worked at there were certain people who loved to waste money and particularly paper..reams of it...and post its...etc...pens...they'd go through a paper mill in a semester for really nothing. Supply officer said she just loved spending other people's money....I stopped voting for taxes

    Years ago I was driving a chemical tanker truck with a drum boot on the back end for the company I worked for and was making a delivery of a drum of lacquer thinner to a customer that I had done several times before. I pulled into their back lot where the drum gets delivered and parked it
    and went inside to get someone to approve the delivery. When I came back out the back end of my truck was sitting in a large hole and the frame is what kept the truck from going in even further. I was shocked as I couldn't figure out how I drove into that hole without knowing it. Once we took the time to look it over it was obvious that the under part of the parking lot had given way from the weight of the truck. They had just had the lot paved a week ago and obviously they didn't do a good job of filling in the lot before paving. The hole in your post, although bigger, reminded me of that time.

    Anyone else find it difficult to see running a 110KW tractor on a 10 gauge cord? Forget about the short tether.

    If you read the article the cord is pretty clearly powering the tractor. And the tractor is driverless. All in all, pretty cool.

    Her lack of awareness about how the real world works is pretty humorous.

    She isn't scary, but the fact that so many people view her nonsense as real is worrisome.

    People need to wake the fuck up. You can joke and refuse to take her seriously, but from out of obscurity she suddenly "got elected" and is now in one of the most powerful positions of our government.

    All of her supporters fall into one of 3 categories:


    1. People who are amazingly ignorant of history.
    2. Opportunistic Sociopaths.
    3. Psychopaths seeking world domination (as a start).

    "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
    George Santayana

    All of her supporters fall into one of 3 categories:

    AOC's philosophy, playbook, and ultimate goal.


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mein_Kampf

    Mein Kampf (German: [maɪ̯n kampf], My Struggle) is a 1925 autobiographical book by Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler. The work describes the process by which Hitler became antisemitic and outlines his political ideology and future plans for Germany. Volume 1 of Mein Kampf was published in 1925 and Volume 2 in 1926.[1] The book was edited by Hitler's deputy Rudolf Hess.[2][3]

    Hitler began Mein Kampf while imprisoned for what he considered to be "political crimes" following his failed Putsch in Munich in November 1923. Although Hitler received many visitors initially, he soon devoted himself entirely to the book. As he continued, Hitler realized that it would have to be a two-volume work, with the first volume scheduled for release in early 1925. The governor of Landsberg noted at the time that "he [Hitler] hopes the book will run into many editions, thus enabling him to fulfill his financial obligations and to defray the expenses incurred at the time of his trial."[4][5] After slow initial sales, the book was a bestseller in Germany after Hitler's rise to power in 1933.[6]

    After Hitler's death, copyright of Mein Kampf passed to the state government of Bavaria, which refused to allow any copying or printing of the book in Germany. In 2016, following the expiration of the copyright held by the Bavarian state government, Mein Kampf was republished in Germany for the first time since 1945, which prompted public debate and divided reactions from Jewish groups.

    The arrangement of chapters is as follows:
    • Volume One: A Reckoning
      • Chapter 1: In the House of My Parents
      • Chapter 2: Years of Study and Suffering in Vienna
      • Chapter 3: General Political Considerations Based on My Vienna Period
      • Chapter 4: Munich
      • Chapter 5: The World War
      • Chapter 6: War Propaganda
      • Chapter 7: The Revolution
      • Chapter 8: The Beginning of My Political Activity
      • Chapter 9: The "German Workers' Party"
      • Chapter 10: Causes of the Collapse
      • Chapter 11: Nation and Race
      • Chapter 12: The First Period of Development of the National Socialist German Workers' Party
    • Volume Two: The National Socialist Movement
      • Chapter 1: Philosophy and Party
      • Chapter 2: The State
      • Chapter 3: Subjects and Citizens
      • Chapter 4: Personality and the Conception of the Völkisch State
      • Chapter 5: Philosophy and Organization
      • Chapter 6: The Struggle of the Early Period – the Significance of the Spoken Word
      • Chapter 7: The Struggle with the Red Front
      • Chapter 8: The Strong Man Is Mightiest Alone
      • Chapter 9: Basic Ideas Regarding the Meaning and Organization of the Sturmabteilung
      • Chapter 10: Federalism as a Mask
      • Chapter 11: Propaganda and Organization
      • Chapter 12: The Trade-Union Question
      • Chapter 13: German Alliance Policy After the War
      • Chapter 14: Eastern Orientation or Eastern Policy
      • Chapter 15: The Right of Emergency Defense

    I guess, by repeating that after the quote, that you are telling us that you cannot remember the past?
