Donald Trump plays with a semi-truck in the White House parking lot

[stabetha]

That still leaves big rigs and their massive weight and emission on the road. Less, granted. But it's still there.

Those trucks are much cleaner then cars

Hahahahahaha.

Who said anything about fighting?



I was a public servant for years until fairly recently, so...no.

So just glass the rural areas? So much for the environment right? I mean sure if want to commit genocide then by all means. The only thing that is going to accomplish is the city people will probably be after you next.

There is a big difference between working within the state versus trying to work with it.

Uh...no.

Cool story. The things you were bitching about were in reference to internal operation, not customer service.

Oil/gasoline is not that dense with energy, and a lot of it is wasted during combustion. And there are alternatives to gasoline for engines. Hydrogen is dense with energy and could be used in place of it.

Electricity is also quite strong, our battery technology is weak though. We need major improvements in terms of mobile energy to really make the switch to a completely fossil fuel independent world.

But, for your point, I don't see much of an issue allowing mowers/weed wackers/etc run off gasoline until companies begin to create alternatives. They're of negligible impact compared to automotives.

Military is kind of always special, if they need fossil fuels, so be it. But I'd venture to say that they can run off of electricity/hydrogen/fuel cells.

My concern, as with most others, is to attack the "big fish". Weedwackers/lawn mowers are nothing compared to power plants, automobiles, and agriculture.

Hydrogen powered tools and lawn care. That's a while off, friendo. So, battery optimization would have to be it since power cords are a giant safety hazard in the yard. Charge means nothing if you can't cut anything with it.

But I think it would be a target for complaints because:

1. There are only so many big fish and they will go with time. So anything that produces emissions or uses oil will be targeted. Activism needs enemies to survive and what will they go after if we shut down coal factories and make electric big rigs nationwide?

2. We would REALLY look like assholes to talk shit about people using diesel trucks when we sold them to them.

Right, but Trump is a millionaire with many businesses world wide. If he hasn't been near a semi before now, wtf has he been doing?

Not riding in a semi, I'd have to guess.

Considering his penchant for air travel and expensive golf outings, he may never have been close to one.

Making Sweden Great Again...Whoop Whoop

What? Some of the largest subsidies in the US are food/farming related, and without those subsidies, you would not have access to certain foods.

subsidies a fancy term for bail outs and welfare.

the millions of pounds of food grown and wasted each year just because they get paid to grow it

[stabetha]

Hahahahahaha.

Your laughing only shows your ignorence

[Dextroden]

It won't be easy, but I don't think that's a reason not to do it.

I'm not against doing anything. I'm just hesitant because of the amount of people that really think that everything will be better if we get rid of coal and ignore things like the rising sea level we can't do a thing about unless we condense and refreeze the water at the cap or some other science fiction move.

It is those little things that are going to be a problem later. Lot of companies that will have to rethink product development. People might have to lose their favorite products to make this dream happen. And, I hate to say it, jobs that are connected to fossil fuels. Lots of things far harder than driving a tesla or switching to a water saver shower head.

I wonder if we can handle it.

Imagine being the type of person who gets outraged or annoyed at the president taking a few minutes to goof around with some folks and their truck.

That should be /thread

[HumbleDuck]

Let's be honest snowflake, you're probably offended by most things.

Nah, but I'd be if some one made that face during an official meeting.

Well at least they're built in the US, like the Toyota I own.

[Edge-]

Well at least they're built in the US, like the Toyota I own.

The irony of the Camry, a Japanese car, actually being the most "American" car on the market right now never ceases to amuse me. It's the literal incarnation of the effects of globalization and why Trumps "AMERICA FIRST!" nonsense is so bloody stupid.

[Souflikar]

He has all the enthusiasm and excitement that a 5 year pretending to drive a semi-truck like the adults can muster. This is a perfect picture for this president.

A 5 year what? Moderator positions should at least require forming complete sentences.

[Puupi]

A 5 year what? Moderator positions should at least require forming complete sentences.

So should the position for the head of the state.

[Tico]

Hahahaha the guy is literally a child

And that child governs the US.

[the game]

It's sad when nobody batted an eye when Obama decided to do Man vs Wild but as soon as Trump tries to have a little fun he's a child. So many hypocrits.


Also just gonna put this here.

Yes, because typos are never a thing.

I completely agree. The amount of hypocrisy in these forums never ceases to amaze me. They hate for the sake of hating, completely disregarding their favorites have done the same crap in the past. Disgusting.
