Hey Scotty! Would you like to go to China to review their cars? I think people would watch your videos and honest reviews about them. Their manufacturers should be confident enough to give you cars to dig deep in them, since they export them to Russia and Europe.

[@DKnezevich]

A tax on business is factored into the cost of the product or service the business provides. In the end, the business does not pay the tax; the cosumer pays the tax as it is added the final selling price.

[@thinking-monkey]

Precisely. If the U.S. decided to tax no company in the nation but McDonald's, they aren't going to be paying that tax, it simply means burgers will cost consumers $250 each.

[@jeffnorbert1871]

In Wisconsin it's called Energy Assistance. Everyone who pays a utility bill has a fee added to the cost which is used to subsidize the energy costs paid by low income users. If they personally pay the monthly bill it is credited to their account. If utilities are included in their rent they get a cash money payment directly to themselves. These payments can be fairly large. $1,000 once a year isn't unusual. This has been going on for decades. A pretty cozy relationship between "government" and giant corporations.

Under the previous administration our strategic oil reserves were completely filled up in case of emergency. Under this administration they have pulled it down to some of the lowest levels ever, to artificially lower the price of gas to help in an election. The problem is now oil is over $80 a barrel and this administration cannot afford to replace the oil that it took out for Time of war. They have declared war on our countries energy. Russia shouldn’t even have enough money to fight the war they are fighting right now if it wasn’t for all the gas and oil they were selling. It was not like that under the previous administration. Other countries were told not to buy oil and gas from them or the United States would not deal with them. Russia was broke. Iran was broke. Look at them now. As we beg the Saudi‘s and everybody else for oil and junk tar, after this administration called them a pariah then they laugh in his face and tell him no when he begs for more oil. These people are nuts we need real leader ship and we need to be energy independent so have plenty of gas and oil, becoming energy independent and dominant again and get energy prices down and inflation down and pay off some debt. Drill baby drill! And refine it in our country. The cost of Energy is the biggest driver of inflation.

The government would have to give me an electric car, but I may not be able to afford my electric bill. 🇨🇦💝🇺🇸🙏👍

Same issues in Ireland. We too are told to buy EV cars. And yes electricity prices rise!!

An election is coming. The government is hugely wasteful spending on endless useless projects that are pointless. Time for a change.

Loyal Toyota Tacoma buyer but my 2013 4x4, V-6, Crew Cab SR-5 had the paint on rear passenger door around window paint peeled off. 89,xxx miles. Recall covered?

[@williamg6095]

hey scotty what is your opinion on 2024 nissan versa s 1.6 liter with a 5 speed manual. i was interested in getting it for my next car

[@leecowell8165]

Does that 1.6 have turbo's? how about direct injection? Those are two big no-no's that my 2.0 Kia does not have. Yeah I'd love to get into a 5 or 6 speed manual but the engine that matches up to it needs to last awhile too. Wow a manual, huh? tell you what these CVT's are taking over... but nothing beats a manual if you actually know how to DRIVE one...

@@leecowell8165 A manual transmission vehicle has the best anti-theft option. I have 9 of them and am restoring them all in retirement. They are all Hondas and run and drive.

In Australia oil is now over $90 a barrel.

[@Michael-yi4mc]

Australia is selling oil?

[@amraceway]

@@Michael-yi4mc We give all our oil away.

[@Nick41622]

@Michael-yi4mc No. It's the french crew that determines what Australia pays for fuel.😱🤣

[@robertmoss440]

Nothing's free, Scotty! Prices are going up in the other 49 states too.

Don't forget the extra registration fees charged for plugin's and hybrids.

Hello from California Scotty! Please pray for us 😂

[@Tony27654]

What state is actually cheaper to live in compared to CA. And what are the wages in those states if you work in construction?

[@ekimbrough1413]

UR right Scotty!

[@joeoliveira8558]

Left CA as well. Too much Corruption.

[@mred7375]

Scotty, Oil or gas is fungible. It's like the world puts oil in a big bathtub and companies take it out. Less oil and the world price will rise, but I understand the frustration with high gas prices.

[@rthompson938]

We call it seasonal demand every industry puts up their prices when demand goes up.

I like the family living in the cardboard box!

[@leecowell8165]

He's right. We'd buy electric IF they were SMALLER! AND IF they were actually AVAILABLE here. I putt around here in a Kia Soul. Why? Because its small and economical AND I don't drive more than 30 miles or so on any one trip. Perfect for a small EV IF I could plug into 115VAC, 20 amp extension cord to charge it over a coupla days or so. But tell you what I ain't buying a vehicle that has a ONE TON BATTERY! AND one that cost $80k! Yep if the battery is bigger than a 24vdc golf cart battery its too big.
