Loading ...Its all just a natural consequence or result of the past 40 some years and resulting declining USA.
I myself in my entire lifetime was never afraid or concerned about the environment. Many people are via Media. In my view the “better environment” agenda was a job creation scheme to help over ride loss of industrial jobs. The stricter environment rules here, helped foreign nations prosper, as our domestic wealth producers moved to their countries.
Unfortunately, environment jobs are like “over head” jobs, you pay for with profit from wealth producing jobs. China is probably starting stricter rules now, they can afford it, we can’t anymore. I and all my Gun Shooting friends KNEW in the 1970s that our future economy would go down, lower living standards, because of the “new” EPA.
Even during Vietnam we had to fight with one hand tied behind our backs. I’m very optimistic for the USA since 2008. I got pessimistic for the future after 1970. Peak horsepower, 375 HP from 350 Cubes. !971, less, 1972 less on and on, they pissed me off taking away horsepower claiming a waste of gasoline.
I forget what year the horse power bottomed and started back up. Plenty of horsepower available these days if you can afford it. My 1998 GMC Jimmy 4.3 liter V-6 can tow 5000 pounds. To check the power and durability of your vehicle, check the owners manual, and see how LITTLE you can tow. Probably 1,200 lbs.
