    Actually no, I didn't. Besides, when did I claim to be different from you, except for my judgement about what's best for me and my descendants? Actually, if you read my recent posts, I agreed...

    But there is consensus on what what is likely to happen if we do nothing at all. What do you suggest? As for mandating an entire industry, if you're referring to subsidies, tax breaks and...

    For a guy who gets the vapors over being told what to do, you're awfully quick to make my financial decisions for me. I'm 73 and retired. On my income, financing, especially at current interest rates,...

    Actually, I really can't. Don't need an EV - I don't own a car, by choice. Geothermal heating systems start at $18K to retrofit an existing house. And that's only if such a system is even do-able in...

    Being Asked to Give References for Someone You Don't Respect

    heron replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Alternatively, you could just give hire/quit dates and answer questions about job performance and that's all. If the applicant pitches a fit because reference wasn't "glowing", maybe bite the bullet...

    What EV mandate are you talking about? The California ban on selling gasoline powered cars? Couldn't you just nip across the border into Nevada or Arizona? After all, that was your suggestion for...

    I haven't researched that particular assertion, but I suspect that it's a pathetic attempt at a gotcha. Kinda like snowballs and conflating climate change with the onset of autumn. My take-away...
