Don't tell me the water in Newport is bad too? LOL .
Newport is a little to expensive, and basically not my taste, nice place to visit but definitely wouldn’t want to live there. Newport is an island so ya the Atlantic is polluted LOL

You are right from a company perspective. However, when the Government forces rules and guidelines (much of which is done by unelected folks like the EPA) to put you out of business not a lot shareholders can do.

They can bankrupt any business with heavy handed policies. Example is Obama with the coal industry.
I disagree. I have not seen any sectors put out of business by government action. I've seen improved fuel.economy, increased safety, etc... and even nutrition labels on cans, all.of which were trumpeted as disasters which would destroy the entire industry. None of that happened.

I have seen entire sectors destroyed by the the voluntary shipping of US manufacturing overseas in search of cheap labor. Clothing, tools, machine tools, televisions, auto parts, etc... and none.of that was driven by government action. I was involved in it personally and it was all about cheaper bottom line and done voluntarily. Back in the 80s my economist father proposed letting business do that but saying I'd you do you cannot import it to the US but that suggestion went no where.

I just don't see this evidence of the government being lead by folks out to do in business. The management has done plenty fine on their own. And then comes for tax.payer hand outs to save them.

“If somebody wants to build a coal-fired power plant, they can. It's just that it will bankrupt them." Barack Obama

That industry was essentially shrunk, perhaps not totally destroyed. That is one example that immediately comes to mind.

It happens and many companies pivot to survive. Not all Government policies are bad nor are all good. I submit today's policies are doing more harm than good...especially energy and agriculture.

Feds are already chipping away at the industry I am in. Natural Gas that was once considered clean energy is now starting to be lobbied against by green thumb folks in towns that have put bans on no new customers attached to gas mains. With the Bidden administration not offering any support for any fossil be it Coal, Oil, or even Nat Gas the cleanest of all. God help this country regarding energy.


What both of you said, but for car # 7 if it even materializes with availability and then I’m Done.

I have horses now all I need is some pigs to ramp up methane production. Barter Town with Master Blaster making pig shit methane. While I am at it some yeast and corn for the distillery could do good for the RE.
Natural Gas, E85, electricity what’s not to like.

That’s it Dave you just F ed my day into oblivion. Not only is the state I live in set to ban my ice transportation but my retirement states on that list too. I will have to drink more tainted water to blur it out. Good thing I am not into Hallucinogenic drugs
Yeah, they hit my Dad's police retirement pretty good when the last governor had control now I guess she is a secretary in the current administration old Gina.

RISP I assume...? I recall when she completely revamped their retirement system and couldn't believe it. Best thing I did was leave that shitehole of a state and never look back. I still have friends and family trapped behind enemy lines there and when they visit me in AZ (during the winter, so they won't spontaneously burst into flames) they're amazed at what a "free" state Arizona is, and realize how much worse RI is than they thought...(sorry @Demoniccat!)

Unfortunately, it wasn't as whacked out 30 years ago when I shipped out, but it does suck when your home plate has become a s@#$hole. My brother is still on the job for another 2 years.

LSD in water. Just kidding. On a serious note would expect that number to be more like double, at least 100k out the door I was just agreeing with Mag at 60K I would be more receptive, Absolutely no blurred vision/expectations of 60K out the door. Even at that probably not interested.

Edit, Upon sitting in car I would reach for Fratzonic silence button.
I will say this, when all the talk about the Hellcat coming out I was thinking 75k and they were 60k I was surprised. Based on what a plaid cost you think the dodge would be in the ball park but what if it was 75k:unsure:
