    Auto execs are coming clean evs arentworking.

    "...that makes sense..." thinkin it all makes sense. Some support, as in any early tech evolution, assists toward the greater good nation wide (Rural Electrification legislation grew the nation if askin me). Love to see fed/local effort like that here. May be the colleges (only make money on...

    Auto execs are coming clean evs arentworking.

    any new tech needs a transitionary period (before garnering lots of support - gov, consumer, voter). Even cars were like that. Expansion of 100 yr ol tech (non-whale oil) came in to assist. Refining advanced too. Roads, industry improvements... Some early cars were on Kero. Very few are kick...

    Oil filter disposal: what do you do?

    odd man out as usual (well, I C a few others). "Burn'n throw away" seems worse. As there is no 'away' for some secerete trash heaven or hell. Often it's burrial so comes right back on us. Burn puts that chit into the air we breath. Glad there's more'n more filter recycle places. It means choice...

    Oil filter disposal: what do you do?

    each plastic is pretty different. #1 & 2 (on bottom, in triangle) R pretty recyclable. The Amer Chem Soc ("K" St, W. DC pros) lobbied (for plastics industry) to get #3 - 7 on there. Stuff is much harder to recycle. Not many do it. These R poison when left out in the atmosphere to degrade...

    Ford layoffs

    "...Ford for giving people this option of working remotely while they execute on their plan of layoffs. ..." I'd say 'anything done in the dark' ("the sanitizing force of full sunshine") - not so good. Could these folk dismissed get some support/contact w/others @ the club they've just been...

    Life Expectancy in the USA, Formula - you calculate from your present age, not your birth age.

    "...maxed out my Social Security contribution..." meaning no effect on the monthly payments you recieve on pay out yrs later (now 4 U). There's a top pay out monthly (3,600 & 4,500$ mo). What happens to that difference (between pay in & pay out?).

    Oil filter disposal: what do you do?

    not all the chem in there by each 'bug'. Did they evolve in that enviornment? My bet? U didn't either so having it in our water (soil, ground) is not healthful for us never mind the the cost to replace 'them'.
