I know this much: you can't run a total war economy in wind and solar. It just won't work. We need baseload energy. Gas is good but is prone to failure in cold weather. Coal and nuclear are by far the most reliable sources of electricity, and coal plants are much quicker, easier, and cheaper to build and use than nuclear plants.

Good info anon, thank you. I might invest in some foreign coal, though I am mostly out of investing now that I've made my money from it and have a lucrative job to tide me over while my gold, silver, platinum, and cash do their thing.
Indeed Ukraine and Poland have huge coal reserves, as does Russia.

I bought stock in 2020, did a 100+x, and now have cash and precious metals as a hedge against cash devaluation. So I am sitting pretty. I also earn six figures and live very cheaply.
So suck me, fren.

That car is a 1975 Lincoln Continental Coupe (not sure if it's the Continental Town Car/Coupe package, which is the highest end version they made). It's over 19 feet long and weighs about 5,500 pounds. It's a beast and, even though emissions standards weakened engines in that era, it's 460 cubic inch Ford V8 could still pull like a freight train. I so want one of these, particularly the Town Car or Town Coupe. These suckers were string and lasted a long time with proper maintenance. This is back when American cars had their own style: land yachts, giant floating couches. That's the feel of an old American luxury car.
Road feel is German Autobahn sports car style. American style was the comfy couch that just floats down the endless highway in a luxury ride -- befitting out country's huge size and highway system. Who wants to take a 1000 mile drive and get "road feel"? I don't.
We need to bring the American spirit back to automaking and revive the land yacht. Stop aping the European automakers. Their vehicles are designed for their conditions. We in America have our own geographical character.
