I recall hearing a proposal to the effect in Kalifornia, I think, about charging electric vehicle owners a mileage charge since they couldn't get them with gas taxes.
Gas tax alternative: Caltrans pilot program will charge drivers per mile. Full article here: https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/california-gas-tax-drivers-charge-miles/3544491/
Oregon and Utah have similar plans.

They did the same type thing with cigarette taxes here in Arizona about 20 years ago. The plan was to use the tax money to pay for Stop Smoking programs. The programs worked so well that they wound up not having enough money to continue to pay for the programs.

does that limit them to only automatic trucks ? im seeing great issues in this , i think a lot of our national guard units still have manual shift truck , there are advantages - proven in multiple wars - teaching in multiple variations only make's sense - not all country's have our advantages and some are really backward , learning all makes sense to me - shifting , rifle platforms , whatever
That is correct. These guys are not allowed to drive a truck with a manual transmission. As far as I'm concerned, if a male can't drive a stick, his Man Card should be revoked.

If you're driving a tractor-trailer rig, you can use the Trailer Hand Valve for that.

i appreciate how he handled it but in my mind im wondering why they no longer teach stick shifts in drivers ed ?
They don't even teach stick shift in TRUCK driver's school anymore. Most of the Big Trucks out there these days have automatics in them. The days of Double Clutchin' and Gear Jammin' are long gone. When I learned to drive a truck in 1990 I learned on a Road Ranger 10 speed. But in the early 2000s they started putting automatics in them. Nowadays, these "young'uns" have "Automatic Only" CDLs.

Congratulations! I know exactly how you feel. I did the same thing back in 2013. Unfortunately I was only able to self publish, but it's out there.
Good luck with it.

And people have scolded me for NEVER having used You Tube. Never have, Never will.
There's a LOT of good content on YouTube Forty. A lot of it is nonsense, but there is some funny stuff there as well as educational stuff. I've learned a lot about working on my vehicles there, there's a lot of political stuff that makes me think that the WHOLE country hasn't gone nuts. And there's a lot of hilarity there too. You want some really crazy stuff? Search for Sovereign Citizen traffic stops. These people are just plain NUTS. Gun stuff, knife stuff, take a look. You might be surprised.

My daily driver is my Jeep. 2002 TJ with a 5 speed. I wouldn't have it any other way. That being said, I did like it when I got a new work truck, (BIG truck), and it had an automatic in it. Driving for any distance is far easier with an automatic. Even my pickup has one. Made my Arizona to Ohio trips easier.
A few years back, I made my daughter learn to drive my Jeep. She complained that she couldn't drive one because her mother hadn't been able to teach her to. Ten minutes later she was having a ball. She hasn't done so since, but she could.

I did not give it a like because I do not know what it is. I strongly suspect what it is, but I do not know for sure.
I suspect it is a claymore trigger.
It can be used to set off any charge, Claymore, C-4, Det Cord, etc.

Just remember the end doesn't justify the means, never has and never will. If you do the wrong thing for the right reasons, you're still doing the wrong thing.
Somebody once said that "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
"Even if I'm wrong in trying to do good, I'll still try to do good." That one is pure me.

There's just so much wrong with that.
Aside from the gun (and it should either be a double action revolver or a 1911, not no double action automatic) there's cream in the coffee, wheat toast? The egg is up instead of over, and there's only one egg? And where are the grits?
And where's my biscuits and gravy?!?

what waws that onamma plot to let firearms out hoping to trace them back ? maybe some of those ? would nbe an interesting turn
Fast and Furious under Obama. Supposed to track weapons to Mexico to the cartels. TOTALL failure.
On another note, I heard on the radio that Venezuela, along with China, was behind the whole Dominion voting machine scandal in 2020. They're saying that that's how Maduro was "elected", and that's where those voting machines came from.🤬

I never carried a spare helmet when I had my bike, but Arizona is a "No Helmet Required" state. If I were giving somebody a ride, she could use mine and I wouldn't worry about it.
Now this was the time when I was between wives, so I was out in the Counter Music bars at night. I'd wear the helmet while riding, with my Cowboy Hat hanging by the Storm Strap. I'd leave the helmet on the bike, locked up with a cable lock that came with my Mossberg shotgun.

But, what's your question about Yankee land? You asked about subways in New York.
It don't GET anymore yankee than New York. At least it didn't used to. Now I guess New York is going a different direction.

It's warmer in the sewers that at street level. When warm meets cold you get condensation. Like an airplane contrail.

Elon Musk says saving money for retirement soon to be ‘irrelevant
in SASS Wire Saloon
Posted
It's a dream. I don't think that people like Elon, with all their wealth, intellectually understand people who live paycheck to paycheck.
Nothing against him, but when do you think he was last at Walmart shopping for underwear or milk?
