Hertz car rental is dropping 20,000 EV cars for gas powered.

I remember Hertz saying earlier that their Teslas had a huge savings in repair costs compared to ICE.
This is Australian Hertz news.

Old piece, now Hertz is dumping 20K of them, due to customer complaints & cost to fix etc..

Oh things looks good on at first then when the true info is revealed is the Poop hits the fan as the saying goes. Or the saying the proof is in the pudding. It when you a history of real life repairs the true cost becomes apparent.

Over the years I have been told things are impossible that I have seen and proved otherwise like when they screw up a chip and have calculators adding wrong.

I don't have a problem with legal immigrants. It's the illegals that are killing our country. The Dems want them because their policies are ruining our country and they are loosing their voter base, They want to make it legal of illegals to vote and the more they are the more congress men there are to represent their states. Even the cities that are blue are not crying for them to stop the flow. They just want more money to help address the issues. We don't know what is crossing the border. A lot of them are young chinese men and other naltionalities of fighting age. These are possible terrorist. God help us all God bless the USA. We need Trump back in office.

Here is a little post , no BS , no political bias , just plain facts about the "border crisis " and if you are too lazy or closed minded to watch the video here is the crux.
Border crossing is directly proportional to unemployment , the share market , investor confidence & inflation
It has nothing, nadda, diddly squat to do with the colour of the undies the bum behind the big desk in the oval office is wearing.
This will of course offend may as it goes directly against their religion but that is the simple truth and truth always hurts .
Jakes video is not the best, but I could not find the one I was looking for.
And Jake is like me a swinging voter so has no political alliances and funny enough neither does the number of people crossing the border
So watch and get the truth without the political spin form both sides . Both these men as US war veterans . View in YT or you will not be able to read the charts.

And another one from a person who faced a real invasion and worked in border force to put a different slant on things

Very good Bert. Now maybe some the hard heads might think twice about this issue. I kinda doubt it but if they at least watched the whole video it will be in the back of their minds.

And I do agree the employers of illegal should face mandatory jail time. But as the first video puts it no one in the deep state wants this problem to be fixed. Just to much money involved.

I feel the same way about employers that work US citizens under the table per say just to keep from their fair share of the taxes. I got one company right near me that is doing this. The workers thinks it is great but just wait until they need to start drawing their SS and find out how much it has hurt them financially.

And the second video just proves that the Texas mess is just a major political stunt to distract from the real problem. They are just interfering with the US Federal enforcement of the border. They are just playing to the extremist views for votes. Really all they are doing is making the mess worst.

If you watched the whole thing on a YT window so you could read the comments I did a reply there which reflects my experiences
I use the tag "I got a brain and know how to use it" on YT
They are both from the pro Ukraine war but particularly Combat Veterans video was really informative
There was a better one but i will be dipped in doggy doo if I can find it now because he used much of the same data but made his own graphs then laid them on top of each other and they lined up almost perfect with about a 9 month lag between unemployment & undocumanted border crossers .

And yes he is right, when we brought in fines for employers the ruling party had an absolute majority in both houses but in the next election they ended up as a minority government and then we cycled to the other side , also as minority government in the 2nd election and although they has vowed to repeal the law, the hysteria whipped up about 60,000 boat refugees was so big they had no chance and 12 years latter business has gotten used to it as we brought in the "Guest Worker" scheme and that wnt down well with the small Pacific Island nations so everything remained .

Yes it would be a big adjustment but as with everything time makes a big difference in attitudes. It when they keep changing the rules of game is when it becomes a pain. It can be as aggravating as our Yo-Yo weather of late.

As far I know we have a work visa program here. The problem is the visa expires they don't get renewed and the worker just don't return to the place they came from. We have so few enforcement personnel that those that over stays their visas takes year to catch and deport. Meanwhile they have started families which things even harder to correct.

In a perfect world everybody would follow the rules of the game but the world is not perfect so a lot just ignores the rules until they are catch and punished. More get by then get punished.

It's always irked me that one side is half honest, the other side is half honest, and most of us have to sift through the lies to get the truth.
Especially when the truth is something that both sides would agree or disagree on, together.

PT the truth is simple but telling it seems to be impossible for most politicians. They rather go though a raging fire then tell the truth. I have had been point blank lie to my face when I had the answer on paper in front of me that they passed as law. Really pisses them off when you confront with it too.

As one neighbor once put it here. How do you tell when a politician is lying? You see their lips moving. And darn if he was right most times.

This why politics are such a touchy subject as there are those that believe these lies instead of actually checking things out. Personally I try to research thing a thoroughly as I can using as many source as I can find and even then you can come to the wrong answer depending how good and accurate the research material is.

BTW anyone got any support braces for my mailbox it is being overload with Medicare junk mail? I thought there was no money to be made in Medicare insurance.

Guest workers scheme is a bit different as the workers have to come through a labour hire company .
If 100% of them do not return then the labour hire company looses it's license to supply guest workers and I think there is also a bond
And any worker who stays on once deported can never return and they get a big tax refund when going back
Contracts are short, usually for 3 to 6 month duration as they are mostly fruit & veg pickers .

I belong to a few other forums, that have a political section. After bissecting the lies from both sides and coming up with what can only be the truth, One side calls me a Biden supporter. And the other side swears I'm a Trump supporter.
And I swear, I don't like either one of them.

This quote doesn't matter to political loyalist. "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
