I remember before I retired the Wear Your Helmet to Work Day promotion, to raise awareness of autocross. So one day I did. Even fewer people spoke to me that day.

Is Trump going to have to find an Ultimate Solution for Democrats like Hitler had to do about the impure? Before you answer, they are building a lot of detention facilities across the country.

So the Oklahoma Governor wants to shut down Medical Marijuana in Oklahoma. Wants a state question to pass. Too bad the Republicans made state questions harder to pass.

In the USA, we don't need to bring prices down. We need increase minimum wages, and all wages. Decreasing prices is a Depression economy.

The IRS is f**ked up. If you want to do your taxes by hand, good luck. If you want forms, that tab on the web site now has a brief list of what they want you to see. There is no place left to get that long, searchable list.

I found something for sale online, not far away. A brand new 2023 Kia Niro EV, actually 2, at a dealer for $30,000. I'd like to offer $25k and trade my car. I know the charge rate is slow, but the range is only 250 miles.

I used to be a NASCAR fan, with some F1. Then I started competing in SCCA autocross. And I got good at it. Even a slow day at the track is better than a spectator.

Why doesn't someone point out to Trump that white people are dying in Minnesota? I bet he would change Federal tactics quickly.

So now I'm confused. Chevy has decided to only make a short run of 2027 Bolts, then switch the plant to gasoline Buicks. It may not be a good idea to buy one. Any opinions?
