Can we please get rid of all the nanny state auto regulations that have cropped up in this country since 1962?
>>28846800>Can we please get rid of all the nanny state auto regulationsToo late for this
A new age of steam is on the way! Should I burn wood from my yard or buy coal? Maybe some of that fancy brick charcoal would do.
>>28846800At least you in the USA don't have the threat of EURO 7 hanging over your heads.The Euro 7 standard, adopted in 2024, is a new EU regulation limiting vehicle pollution, effective November 29, 2026. It introduces stricter requirements for brakes and tires. For the first time, the standard regulates emissions of particulate matter (PM10) generated by tire abrasion and braking.
>>28846809You should, of course, buy clean, beautiful coal, to create jobs for America's coal miners!
>>28846813No, instead we have the Environmental Protection Agency trying to make the strict California Air Resources Board emissions standards mandatory in all 50 states, not to mention eggheads in the previous administration demanding that all auto makers cease producing cars with internal combustion engines and pivot to electric vehicle production instead. YUCK.
>>28846817
>>28846817I hear you man, but CARB isn't nearly as stringent as what the EU has been going through. Not in the same league.
And it isn't just emissions regulations, no sir.We also need to get rid of safety regulations.Seat belts.Motorcycle helmets.Air bags.Crashworthiness standards.Bumper regulations.All this bullshit that makes cars uglier and less fun to drive.And that's not all folks!Fuel economy regulations (i.e. Corporate Average Fuel Economy) need to go away as well!MORE POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
>>28846824That is precisely the point!Honestly I don't give a rat's ass what happens over in Europe, but every time the EU trots out a new regulation, those louse-ridden eggheads in the EPA, who commute by bicycle from their McMansion in a DC suburb and haven't even had their first kiss yet, say, "Oh, that's a brilliant idea! We should copy that regulation here!"Makes me want to puke. We haven't had to listen to Europe for almost 250 years, why do they want to subject us to foreign control again?
>>28846809Burn coal. Runs in your family.
>>28846838I think you're thinking of someone else >Champion of Big Beautiful Coal (BBC for brevity).
Make American Autos Great Again
If Trump said today that seat belts are a liberal invention and they need to go for the sake of Isr- err I mean America, then his MAGA followers would instantly start sucking his dick for it. It's a cult, 60 million people strong. America is a lost cause.
The regulation we actually need to fix is water-based paints.Modern car paints are such shit, we need stronger more durable oil-based paints back.
>>28846954Lead-based automotive paints make their comeback when?
>>28846955glorious China will LEAD this
Make American cars get 70 mpg again.
>>28846968Make American cars with 700 horsepower again!
POWER!!!
>>28846800Please tell me that's fake.
>>28847425Oh I saw the watermark. So yeah it's fake thankfully lol.I honestly could see Trump doing something retarded like that though.
>>28846800I am against ALL regulations that is for driver safety. Any regulations that are for safety of others(blind spot monitoring, backup cameras, emissions(to an extent). I'm "ok" with. BUT the government MUST subsidize the cost of all regulations.
>>28846824does it matter? If they are in resonance,whats the difference?
>>28846800Amerimutts would applaud this
>>28846836>We haven't had to listen to Europe for almost 250 years, why do they want to subject us to foreign control again?because they're all in the same club of faggots. The goal is a one-world government, hence why all western countries adopted mass immigration in lock-step, why they all legalized faggotry in lock-step, why they all allow women to vote, etc. etc.
>>28847776Holy shit there are still schizo NWO boomers posting on 4chan. You're a dying breed, you know. Makes me feel nostalgic.
>>28847786>"NWO is lies!!!"also:>"Every western government is run by pedophiles controlled by Israel via Epstein blackmail ring chud, this is why we need to niggers and spics, they won't question things"
>>28847793It's not even a lie, it's just a hallucination. How do you reconcile with the fact that the biggest Israel cocksucker is going against everything that the previous Israel cocksuckers implemented?
>>28847786>schizo NWO boomersConsider this:When you die, you cease to exist. This is the only life you have.We slave away our lives to pay taxes so countries can get a higher GDP to buy more weapons. Then the other buys more weapons. Then they add surveillance, and more weapons. For what? To make more weapons and disposable plastic? It's a waste of my life, it's a waste of yours. This time is all we get.And it's not like you can just switch countries based on ideology. Single white American man over 30 with a bachelor's and average savings? No, no countries are letting you in without a job already lined-up.
>>28847807Most countries have a military budget that does not exceed 5 percent of their GDP.
>>28847809It's not that simple. There's a lot more to defense spending than they say. Shit, most of my paychecks have been from DoD / DFAS and I guarantee they don't count toward defense spending.What are we humans even working towards? What's the point of all this? Why did we all get degrees only for social skills to be the only thing that matters? What's the point in having multiple STEM degrees if there aren't any businesses offering jobs that pay better than a grocery stocker?Why go to work if all you can afford is food, medical, and maybe housing?My family helped me out, but what if they hadn't? A lot of people don't have that. And a lot of those people are dead, coulda been me, coulda been you.
>>28847819DoD and DFAS personnel spending does indeed count towards the military budget.I hope it all works out for you, but it kinda seems like you're just having a personal crisis.
>>28847822Interesting to know. I'm glad I've provided so much for the defense of this fine country. xDEh, I've been having an existential crisis for 35+ years. I never stop wondering why people do what they do. Why aren't we out making love and cultivating plants, man? We have the technology to make it happen, but nooooo we've gotta fight over "countries" - whatever they are.
>>28847823It's cool being a hippy until there are armed invaders busting down your door. As much as I'd love to plant flowers and burn incense, I'm not willing to forget how they stole my grandma's childhood home, land and sent the whole family to die in the taiga. Especially when I see them doing the same thing all over again right now.
>>28847824I totally get that, both of my parents were military officers. I've been to the conc. camps, ann frank's, Lorraine cemetary, so many places. I grew up in europe and some of my teachers had escaped East Berlin, I've spent about half of my life of military bases.I, a hippie, do love the idea of a country-less world.Though, pragmatically speaking, I know it could only work under very specific circumstances that would never actually happen.I don't know man. I know how to build machines, but I don't know how to solve large social problems. I just don't like when people in control advocate for more violence, from any "side" or country. I will absolutely advocate for peace, disarmament, and clean energy, however foolhardy it may be, for the rest of my life. Gotta try, I don't like violence.What does advocating for more hate, more "us vs them" do? It creates more violence. The one lesson that can be learned from history is that upping arms races in the name of "defense" always leads to mass-scale violence. Next time, it could be me, it could be you.
>>28847829I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees, that's all. IMO, fantasizing about a perfect world is a waste of time and energy.
>>28847831I was born with an organ that doesn't work. I'm dead in 3-5 days without injections of something from genetic engineering that isn't produced in the US. I have to pay $1k+ more a month than everyone else, just for the privilege of being alive.America can go fuck itself.
I don't take orders from pedophile thief rapists.I will not kill a man who I cannot speak to because a pedophile thief rapist wanted to get wealthier.Who thought this was a good idea? Fuck it.
>>28846800Cars were more powerful running leaded fuel.
>>28847873It means you get better actual gasoline instead of them relying on lead to prevent knock. There are plenty of substitutes like MMT that don't spread an element that permanently binds to and blocks receptors in your brain making you and your kids very literally mentally retarded.
>>28846948Lol I know a kid who didn't wear one and he was thrown through the windshield. If you're the one who breaks it you aren't surviving. The driver was the lucky one thrown without going through a windshield. Wear your seatbelt bros
