Why is that you hate us so much and go out of your way to trash our stuff in forums on a regular basis? LOL... Had to copy/paste your comment a few months ago and thought it was fitting in this thread. And I understand why you do this. And this is one of the reasons why I kept away from this forum. Too much brand bashing and my favorite brand is better than your favorite brand instead of just enjoying what we have. I understand why it happens and why people do it, but I'd rather just stay away from it. Just checked in after six months only to see nothing has changed. See ya'll in another six. Hopefully this forum will get past this by then Ironic part is that I accidently passed up a media release about the F150 in Australia and wanted to read more about it. So, I Googled it and this thread was in the first page. I am kind of regretting that I clicked on it.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Ford to release the F150 in Australia

I have seen in your posts s totally irratuonal posts of anything non US or US posters who disagree with you. I dislike non-US things yet I drive a BMW, had several Toyota pickups over the years, and many other non-US vehicles. In fact, I am a car guy and can appreciate vehicles from every brand and one of my favorite cars is not even American. I think you are confusing my correction of false information as me disliking things. I don't dislike vehicles from other countries, just when people post false information especially when they do just to put down my country.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Ford to release the F150 in Australia

It’s loud even if you’re tone deaf where you can’t h Problem here you cannot modify the vehicles unless you have an engineering certificate. So the bulk of them eun around as stock Sounds horrible… Tell me about it. They seem to be very strict on personal freedom in regards to vehicle modifications over there in the name of safety even though lifted trucks don't cause more accidents than stock vehicles. While I am not a huge fan of trucks that are lifted for show and are way past their usability, I understand that there are many people who like them and should have the freedom to make it their own. There seems to be a "huge aftermarket modification scene Down Under" according to the article below and a few others that I have read, but the government cracks down really hard on modifications that you do yourself unless you pay an exorbitant amount of money to a shop that has the license to do so. No wonder it is not as big over there since the aftermarket truck scene seems to be dictated more by regulations rather than what the people want.

Not really mismanaged, but rather we spent money to secure our electricity production during heat waves (which is more common here than week long freak cold snaps) and forced to shut down coal plants due to expensive EPA regulations in favor of cheaper wind electricity. In the past 10 years, there have been more than 11 power plants shut down in Texas due to ever increasing EPA regulations making them more expensive to operate. One of them, the J.T. Deely plant near San Antonio, had enough capacity to supply power to over a half a million homes, but would have cost $3 billion to bring it up to the recently changed EPA standards under the Obama Administration. These plant shut downs don't get reported in the news when talking about the one week when we were without power. So we had enough power for many years, but federal regulations played a huge role cutting that power and forcing us to rely on more wind and solar power which is highly susceptible to extreme cold weather conditions. We also placed our bets and money on hotter weather, like we normally get, effecting our grid, not colder weather. This is why we don't have that many brown outs during the summer when it gets to 105 yet other places and grids like in California that had brownouts during the summer years ago. Can you really call a grid mismanaged when it prepares for the weather it gets 99.9% of the time and not being prepared for a freak week long cold snap that hasn't happened in decades versus California not protecting itself from weather it gets most of the time and having brown outs during the summer?618Views0likes0CommentsRe: F150 Lightning Road Trip & Ike Gauntlet Pull
Also, what happens to the US dollar has a major effect on the world becuase the US dollar is world's reserve currency that is uses for many transactions and trades worldwide. If it is worth less here, then it is worth less everywhere.618Views0likes0CommentsRe: F150 Lightning Road Trip & Ike Gauntlet Pull

I am actually amazed that this has actually resulted in the world wide inflation at the same time. Who knew we had such influence from building a few local projects. I never said it was all becuase of the infrastructure bill. In fact I never mentioned the infrastructure bill which is bill that releases money over time which requires smaller chuncks to be printed over time unlike the stimulus bills which requires money all at once. I also never evens stated that the stimulus bills(like most countries around the world past at the same time) were the sole reason for inflation. I was just pointing out that while a president, governor, or legislator cannot control things like inflation and higher cost, they do have an significant influence from their actions and policies.294Views0likes0CommentsRe: F150 Lightning Road Trip & Ike Gauntlet Pull

I remember there would be vaccinations available to everyone and 4th of July 2021 was going to be the new freedom with 95+% of the population vaccinated. Of course there was a lot of resistance to getting vaccinated and any mandates went nowhere. We have seen the enemy and it is ourselves ;) The last administration printed more than any one previous or since. But that was not the case. Many blue states still shut down or shuttered even after the vaccine(unless you were rioting). The current administration supported these shut downs and even chastised red states like mine who stayed open. Also, as you can see in the link federal reserve showing the amount of money in circulation. The money in circulation exploded in March 2020 after the bill signed by the current administration and the amount put in circulation during the previous administration was no where near the increase in the past two years. So I am not sure how you can say more was printed with the last administration when there wasn't that much of an increase in circulation unless they destroyed trillions of currency. Currency in Circulation I looked at your graph. Jan 2017 to Jan 2021 1504 to 2093 is 147 average annual increase Jan 2021 to jan 2022 2093 to 2233 is 140 during the first year. The pressure has been building for probably a decade. It was not pressure building over the past 10 years. The increases in the amount of circulation coincide with the covid stimulus packages. The first few packages, the left filed it with so much pork barrel spending(that had nothing to do with covid) that the previous administration fought to remove. The next administration wanted to add even more money than what was in the bill. This spending is was caused the need to print more money.294Views0likes0Comments
