    They really don't need cars anymore they can walk with not much difficulties not like some 250 years ago when they needed horse and carriages due to sore asses from musket ball wounds running for their ships.

    When the wife and I visited Rome, Florence, and Venice, one could definitely see not needing to own a car in that type of environment.

    Now, that would be a personal decision and the gov can fuck right out of my decision making.
    Different demographic here than in Europe. 500 miles will take you the length of England or most European countries, many, much less. Thats only the distance from NYC to DC here. If you live in a city and dont leave much you;d be nuts to own a car with the cost of garaging it, taxes, etc,

    If I'm going north west, 500 miles leaves me just over 400 miles from the border by El Paso.

    I used to think that about Xi and China but Im not so sure.

    Their system is just as corrupt and fucked as ours but we are still free. 99% of the technology they use is stolen from us. We keep on doing 'Firsts' and they keep on copying.

    Freedom is the most precious gift and inspires creativity while slavery inspires contempt and anger.

    And despite the quote attributed to Admiral Yamamoto, there would be a gun behind every blade of grass. Im old, I wouldnt do well in a labor camp. Might as well make them pay on the way out.

    Fuck the communists.

    You know what Saint Rafal said when asked how it feels to take a human life:

    "I wouldnt know Ive only ever killed Communists."

    Fuck Senator Richard Blumenthal for supporting that filth.
     
    Isnt that what you are when you own nothing?

    UK Inches Closer To Eliminating Private Car Ownership

    2 hours ago · UK Inches Closer To Eliminating Private Car Ownership. ... I’ve been calling out the elitist plan in some government circles to eliminate the private ownership of cars for some time.
    "you will own nothing and be happy"
    Klaus Schwab, founder WEF.

    Funny how so many people say it's all conspiracy theory, they will still yell out those words as their car is being towed away.

    Step by step, slowly turning up the heat for the frog to boil. Destroy human relations (basic -> family), destroy attachment and meaning (property -> housing) and later on detach from every other item (movables -> all other stuff). What you're left with is a person (if it can be called that) without attachment to anything, a leaf in the wind willing to go anywhere, take any abuse without any stand and purpose in life. A perfect slave aka citizen. Do you want to know more?

    Remember the old days, people had (at least in our socialist paradise) pathetic washing machines (if) waited for year for a Renault 4 or Golf I however once they've had it they cherished it, took care of it and it worked. What do people have now? Gimmicks and stuff that breaks either before or just on the warranty date, superficial relations i think the western values that might have been a reality at the turn of 19th century have been now eroded to such a degree that they are basically unwanted heritage by younger generation - a literal spit in a face for generations of humans sacrificing their lives. In hindsight it would be better for Galileo to drop his bullshit and simply confirm the Earth is flat and center of universe and be done with it. Fuck the Renaissance turn the fucking light off...
     
    UKstan and its ex Colonies are just trying hard to out do the Chinese , just look at their covid policies and enforcement.
    Also remember their surveillance state predates pedos at FBI,CIA ,NSA etc... . Before china set up their first facial recognition system London already had a million or so cameras tracking folks on every step.
     
    Crap, don't know how I miss read such a simple statement… my bad

    El Paso to Los Angeles is just under 700mi. Houston to el Paso is about 750miI. guess it depends on if you're measuring from city limits, to city limits or downtown, to downtown.

    I've always enjoyed conversations with people that are from the northeast.. They can cross state lines and in Texas you haven't even made it from you from Houston to Dallas or Victoria to Austin… lol.

    I've said it before. The endgame of the whole self-driving car thing is to get rid of private car ownership. Better still, not only will the government/corporations track everywhere you go and when you go there, but if you step out of line, you won't be going anywhere.
     
    KELP-KONT is 582nm great circle and T00-KELP is 617nm, but who really cares when everyone is pissing in the wind. If you've ever been to El Paso, you also know the airport is on the Houston side.

    I-10 according to these people, there are 799.14 miles of I-10 from the west end to the Texas border, 881 across Texas and 780.2 from there to the east end.

    Back to the topic, ending the freedom of movement is a tyrant's dream.

    I say screw the Brits, they are our oldest enemy. We kicked their ass twice in the revolution and 1812. I'm sure there are some good folks there and I know some are on this site but I have no fucks to give for the UK as a whole.

    But those are air miles. To drive it will vary somewhat, especially the LA-El Paso. If you use all interstate then you dip south to San Damntonio from Houston.
    Well, San Antonio isn’t South of Houston, just West. But it doesn’t matter. The drive is further from El Paso to Los Angeles than Houston to El Paso. And as far as “air miles”, no flight is like that. There are plenty of “freeways” that the airplanes have to navigate.
     
    Screw this I can drive all day in dallas and just be stuck in traffic from all the bastard Californians who moved here.

    Not driving fast though....

    Also TX outguns Ontario about 10:1.

    And that's the liberals.

    Your move snow mexico.

    (and our team has won a Stanley Cup recently!!)
    It usually is the team with the most Canadians on it that wins the cup.
    My move is to KY, in the new year and they had constitutional conceal carry before Texas.

    Lots of direct for freight dawgs in the middle of the night. Never had a cruise clearance in a Boeing, eh? Also, check your lat longs.
