I know it's not related but thought I'd show you this. The UK government want to stop all car and bike modifications! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-59210036
I've been seeing a headlines of similar govt interference, I'm not aware of what they are trying to prevent... young people making goofy cars? Bikers making choppers? But certainly the govts are ready to stop all the freedom of making changes, that aren't interfering in pollution, or safety. Headers for example, do not change the emissions, but it's a typical change in cars that enthusiasts like to do. Rims too. Well, banning changes, puts the aftermarket out of business, and that changes a lot of employed people from having good jobs, to seeking employment with fast food chains. Not good. Too many politicians that have nothing better to do are getting bribed by lobbyists who are paid by corporations, who want the car owners to only get work done at dealerships, and to only pay for proprietary car parts, not aftermarket, open source parts which cost less, typically.... And the rich politicians are fine with screwing up the normal world we live in, because they can afford the alternatives we can't. Used cars? They have no idea what those are. It is quite worrisome. I sure don't know what to do, except to advise everyone to run for elected office, and prevent the incumbents from staying in office. Lifelong politicians are not good for regular citizens.
anytime you want to let me know about stuff, please do. No need to be concerned about whether or not it is related to a post... or email me direct at jbohjkl@yahoo.com if you prefer. We're good either way. Thanks!
