billvon 3,065 #1 Posted June 12, 2023 ( . . . . to emulate the style of the anti-EV posts out there . . .) Today another oil disaster DESTROYED I-95 near Philadelphia! A truck full of toxic oil products exploded and then burned, eventually DESTROYING the entire interstate. Imagine what would happen if the fossil fuel agenda is shoved down your throat, and you get to watch the roads you use every day get incinerated by this insanity! You would not be able to work or visit your family. Poor families will become unemployed, and will be made homeless once they can no longer afford rent. Children will freeze on the streets. It's all about government CONTROL people. If they can destroy enough of the roads, the government will be able to control where you go! Wake up sheeple! Don't let them dictate where you can go. Hopefully safe, effective EV's will stop this insane push to force people to use dangerous and toxic fossil fuels. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/video-captures-dip-in-road-moments-before-philadelphia-i-95-collapse/ar-AA1csq7Q 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #6 June 13, 2023 It's not the first time it's happened, either. I did a quick search that came up empty, but there was a fuel tanker crash/fire that caused a bridge collapse in Providence RI a while back (10 years?). It shut down part of I-295 for a while, and big trucks were prohibited on the damaged section for a couple of years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because skydivers never connect humor with tragic circumstances. You must have only come here to repress your sexual desires through hate speech! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Burned down a bunch of houses, killed a few people. There were a few dozen incidents. But have one EV catch on fire and it's front page news on FOX for a week.

Compare oil spills on roads, with train de-railments, with leaking pipelines with oil-carrying ships running aground. I can only remember one leaking pipeline in British Columbia and that was caused by a back-hoe. My evening constitutional will be along a high-pressure oil pipeline that runs up the side of Burnaby Mountain. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But in the 70s you had to pay for driving lessons? in California we got them free in high school. of course i was driving for 2 years before that since i lived in the country then.

Hi Daddy, I first drove a car in the summer of 1950; I was 9 yrs old & it was on a farm in North Dakota. I have never taken any type of driving class. Things were different then.
