I understand how history buffs love to hold onto everything, but then everything does live a life and then dies. In this case, repurpose as a cool Diving reef, I think scuba divers will enjoy diving on the ship and seeing how things change over the years in regard to the marine life. I am very interested in how they will sink her.

Hard to revoke citizenship if they were born to a parent of that citizenship, but if they emigrated here or as Musk did come here, overstay his welcome and then found someone to sponsor him to become a U.S. citizen, we can revoke and deport them. Under the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the government cannot revoke the citizenship of a natural-born U.S. citizen. However, denaturalized U.S. citizens are subject to removal (deportation) from the United States. The federal government can pursue a civil or criminal proceeding in federal court to denaturalize a citizen. If a citizen loses their citizenship, this does not necessarily mean that they will be required to leave the U.S.. Instead, they will revert to their previous legal status in the U.S., unless they are subject to grounds for removal.

Agree with you on the Chinese versus Tesla. Toyota has cash, but like European, has FAILED in China and with Chinese exporting to Africa, South America, and Europe are falling behind in the sales. They are behind in EVs due to the idiot Chairman who says Hydrogen is the future. Japan economy is mostly Auto Driven with Exports to the U.S., Europe and other places on the planet. Japan is begging to be excluded from the Tariffs that take effect next week. I honestly do not see the Japan Auto Companies surviving in their current State, Toyota could end up like GM in only very Select markets with minimal products.

Kia, Hyundai and Genesis build their EVs now in the U.S. and many ICE models, they have already stated they will move the rest of their production to the U.S. over the next 18 months. They want the business and market share and I think they will hurt the Japanese, European, Ford and GM on top of taking away the market from Tesla. Hyundai only makes the Tucson and Accent in Mexico, everything else in the U.S. Kia make Reo and Forte in Mexico for North American Market. Genesis makes all their auto's in Korea and the U.S. for global markets.

@smk4565 @Robert Hall @oldshurst442 Pathetic how the Charger EV had to go up against the low end rather than the Tesla S Plaid. Pathetic the fake engine sound, rather they just be the silent monsters they are, but one would have thought they would have had the Daytona going up against a Tesla S Plaid with a tuned Daytona being able to beat it, but no it has to lose to the Tesla Y. Sad.

I understand, but this is the random thread. We have posted other auto focused stories that I would love to hear your thoughts on. In the other news of Auto's, one of the biggest problems we are facing is the incompetence in DC is throwing everything up into the air as we are looking at thousands if not 10's of thousands if not millions of job losses based on incompetent leadership. In this regard as a taxpayer, you and every single American should be pissed as hell at DC and the incompetence as the billions spent on Chargers and EVs for the GSA nationwide is now to be dumped on the used car market. Great deals for Taxpayers if you overlook paying twice since Morons are then spending a Billion plus to remove the Chargers and EVs. Trump’s EV Charger Purge Could Cost Taxpayers Over $1 Billion So yes, I understand you do not like the political discussion. Sadly, we are in a world of hurt and I truly think we are about to have our current day version of Recession that our great grandparents went through due to ignorant people in DC that 49.5% voted into office. Same people who warned about the Financial mess and Lehman Brothers collapse are warning about this year being a recession that could become a depression. US Recession Warning Issued by Economist Who Predicted 2008 Financial Crisis - Newsweek On other news, Since Cadillac LYRIQ V is such a awesome auto and the Acura ZDX is built on the same platform, one has to wonder if Acura could come out with a performance version of the LYRIQ V as an Acura. I did see my first ZDX on the road today and have to say, the styling is very weird imho.

OUCH, this is sad to hear about the folks with disabilities that DOGE and Idiot47 have already cut off as they call the payout waste compared to taking care of the most vulnerable of society. 'Nightmare for all of us': Anxiety grows among Social Security recipients

So this is just so maddening as how they cannot seem to see the waste is beyond me due to their personal hatred of EV over ICE. General Services Administration Shuts Down 8,000 EV Chargers, Offloads EVs Pulling out the installed EV chargers at all the Federal buildings and parking lots to be scrapped and the disposal of the EV fleet replaced with new ICE autos is such a waste of Taxpayers money. Idiot is schooled by an Amazing woman. 'Here’s a civics lesson for you': Stephen Miller schooled by Democratic congresswoman

@oldshurst442 @A Horse With No Name @trinacriabob @Robert Hall Thought you would all get a laugh out of this.

Seems to be a common thread. Just way too funny what workers saw. Hijacked TV screens show government workers gross video of Trump worshipping Musk: reports

@oldshurst442 This is so true Billionaire predicts 'regime shift' after Trump policies prove to be 'negative for the economy' The whole AI thing is so over blown right now and these conversations are so funny considering they are talking with a limited built AI bot. Controversial author publishes shocking AI conversation with ChatGPT This follows the history of the investing they have done and every time he sells stocks, 134 Billion worth and sits on cash, the year after the sales, 2025 the markets go down double digits. I totally expect this year to be an ugly mess on wallstreet. Warren Buffett amasses more cash and sells more stock, but doesn't explain why in annual letter This is so true, medicare advantage costs the governement more since it is privatized insurance versus regular medicare. If they kill off the private sectore offering, they would save a tone of money. UnitedHealth Medicare Advantage bombshell exposes $83 billion in government waste This is just the start of an ugly year. US stock market crashes in its worst day since 2024

I saw some street work today and how they were replacing an old man cover / sewer cover and using jack hammers. Then I came home and found this on the browser home page. The U.S. could learn a few things from Europe. We need to have trucks like this as it just makes sense how they do it. Genius Way They Repair Giant Manholes in Germany’s Streets | Watch

Idiot47 is so full of it as Job numbers are NOT going to go up, companies will always protect the bottom line and if less people are coming, they will lay off folks to protect their profits. Jobs I expect to see going down, not up this year based on this story.

Proving DOGE is full of excreatment. Opinion: DOGE is causing the very problem it claims to be solving These guys just do not get it. NO common sense. 'We're Pissed!': Angry Constituents Confront DOGE-Backing GOP Rep At Chaotic Town Hall

Just saw the CFO of GM state that they have brought on additional ships to draw down their port inventories in South Korea, China, Canada and Mexico and will stuff new built auto's all over the US ahead of the Tariffs to ensure the ability to sell at a reasonable price new auto. Dealerships need to plan for inventory bloat ahead of the tariff implementation. Kia, Hyundai, Genesis had been using the port of Seattle to bring in their auto's that would get trucked up to Canada, now they are going direct to Canada.

Watching "The Hunger Games" why do I feel we are going down a dark path?

The question I am hearing from more and more Americans: "Can we RECALL the President and VP?" Sadly, NO is the answer. It would take a motion to add to our constitution to allow a recall of the folks as even the Senate and House members are protected with no way to recall them either. Interesting is that most states have in their constitution the ability to recall state politicians including the Governor that has happened in a few states over the last Century. Most recent was California.

I have to say that I find everything depressing now in the U.S. due to the Stupidity that is running amok in DC. How can anyone get excited about any product when companies are now trying to figure out if they should even make them or hold off due to crazy Tariffs that will make them unsellable due to the potential price. As one that works on AI, I had to laugh and actually agree on this story as those that have come to rely on AI bots seem to have given up critical thinking skills. Microsoft Says AI Kills Critical Thinking—Here’s What That Means for You Washington Colleges are willing to push back against Idiot47 and his illegal directives. Western Washington universities respond to White House ultimatum on DEI programs Seems some AI companies are deciding to move on to other things and sell off their patents and technology to larger companies and move onto more profitable sectors. Humane will disable AI pins after $116 million buyout, leaving early adopters high and dry

@A Horse With No Name As the minority in my household, 1 German American to 3 Korean American. Anyone that supports Idiot47 gets ZERO sympathy from me and deserve the mental anguish that will come when Idiot47 turns on them.

Right now, due to the craziness in DC and the attempts to stop the IRA program which should not happen, everyone it would seem is in Pause mode to see what really happens. I suspect a number of products will die, others will be delayed, and stagnation will happen this year in the auto industry.

@oldshurst442 Love those old SUVs, but I actually have come to really like the Yukon GT for me in Maroon. I know we will never see a full size 2 door SUV again, but these were AWESOME!!!

After our tradeshow this year in Vegas, I am going for a week of soaking in the mineral springs in Fairmount Canada. My tourist dollars will support their economy and country this year. Fairmont Hot Springs Resort - Top Hotel Fairmont, BC No southern state visits or anything to do with red states unless I am driving through them to a better place in Canada.

Smart General, sadly, I would hold off being in Europe this year as he might be right about what is to come to Europe again. 'I think that's over': Retired general declares death of key U.S. alliance

Pathetic, truly pathetic 'Stupid beyond belief': Trump and Musk blasted as DOGE fires 'hundreds' of FAA employees @oldshurst442 I know that Idiot47 is not a reader, but this just blows my mind that he does not understand what happened at Pearl Harbor or the Arizona Memorial. Trump did not understand Pearl Harbor, new book reveals: ‘What’s this all about?’ We are so messed up with the Idiot Lemmings that are just there to kiss Idiot47 butt. Maddow Blog | Pete Hegseth’s tenure at the Pentagon goes from bad to worse I truly fear for all our personal data, if not now, I am sure it will end up on the dark web sold to the highest bidder. Musk and his Criminal DOGE group is truly going to hurt the U.S. and both my Grandfathers who fought for this country in WWII are turning over in their graves at the incompetence of this administration. 'He couldn't answer': Dems left shocked after ambushing Mike Johnson over Elon Musk On top of this crazyness, our love for the auto industry has never been put in more danger of total collapse due to the stupid leadership we currently are under. 🤔 I have not researched this, but could we recall a President?

$29.99 + $29.99 + $22.99 + $32.99 + $3.99 (soda) = $119.95 +10.5% sales tax = $132.54 The rep added a 20% tip ($26.50). Total bill was $159.04 for 4 people. Lucky only 1 person had a soda, the rest of us drank water. Where was this, I have not seen in years an $8 omelet.
