President Donald Trump Has Apparently Given Kei Cars the Green Light for the U.S.A.


Huh, we'll see if'n anything comes of this, Trump does have a habit of saying non-vetted things, but...

if this is true, then it will be the second of two things. He’s actually done during both of his presidencies that I like, and think actually did give benefit to the country. But this is Donald Trump, so it could be walked back in an instant either by him or by one of his cronies.

@Xoa Gray @Tiki Bunny Imports πŸΉπŸ‡πŸ›»πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, but it'd be cool to see it happen, especially with the push back coming from a quasi governmental agency that's been leading to them getting banned.
in reply to 🌴 Seph πŸ’­ πŸ‘Ύ

yeah same here. I would love to see them made just across-the-board legal. I’ve wanted one for years specifically a Subaru Sambar.
in reply to Xoa Gray

@Xoa Gray @Tiki Bunny Imports πŸΉπŸ‡πŸ›»πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ I don't think we'll see that, but there's a lot to do, after all I do believe the law banning them wasn't targeted at them, but more mainstream vehicles that were being imported, so exceptions could be made for them, from decreasing the wait time on importing them, kneecapping the group that's trying to ban them, simplifying the import, creating a special classification for them and maybe city cars, hard to say, Americanized versions definitely won't happen though.
in reply to 🌴 Seph πŸ’­ πŸ‘Ύ

Oh yeah, there's a lot of things that could be done. But the American auto industry lobbyists are spending millions to do everything they can to make sure it doesn't. That's where the real fight is right now.
in reply to Xoa Gray

@Xoa Gray @Tiki Bunny Imports πŸΉπŸ‡πŸ›»πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ I find it hard to imagine American car company manufacturers worried about these, despite the increased interest, they wouldn't likely offer much competition as they're not a segment anyone operates in here. Now for side by side and UTV manufacturers, a definite threat.

worthless drek. Kei cars as imports would destroy the US automakers. Domestic ones would suck and be ibscenely expensive so... Safe to ignore.

@the three-day monk The point is that everyone always trots out their not safe for our roads as a reason to ban them, and yet the same people barely even blink at the idea of motorcycles, scooters, UTVs and golf carts being allowed on roads, the latter two restricted to neighborhoods.

As to crash standards, I doubt the older ones are particularly good, the vans and pickups have little more than a piece of sheet metal between you and what you hit, though the newer ones are getting a small (very) crumple zone, and I think ABS now.

Hi Muse, I would expect nothing but a civil discourse from you and so I was just clarifying things, rather than trying to win an argument for the sake of a fragile ego. Have a nice weekend!

@Khurram Wadee I have a speech in one of my plays where a character goes into how important elephant poop is to the planetary ecosystem. The poop fertilises and disperses seeds, it also provides for critical insects who pollinate everything. Go elephant poop! hehehe!









Police banning protest against #King as #arrest threatened in Windsor


Anti-monarchist activists have said they were #threatened with arrests when they planned to protest a #royal procession in #Windsor on Wednesday

Campaigners said that they were told by #police they faced arrest if they protested near the royal procession, with police citing concerns about the banner and amplified noise.

Officers were also accused of telling protesters they faced arrest if they heckled the monarch.

Graham Smith, CEO of Republic, said: "#Thames Valley Police have today decided that #protests are essentially #banned. #FreeSpeech is conditional on arbitrary decisions by police inspectors, denying people even the right to heckle public figures.

I warned people 15 years ago when the pigs moved off the high street and built themselves fortress like places that reminded me of occupied Ulster....

Yet he uses Spanish who was also not the native language of his country. He uses Spanish to sexualize and be a complete misogynist on his lyrics towards women.

Wow they sent out postcards to the Democrats that told them to vote on the 3rd when the election is on the 2nd and they sent out messages to the Republican voters and said they were being tracked on their voting record... This is in the Tennessee race and it's absolutely abominable

Well, another day, nothing specific on my plans for #today a bit more cleaning and straightening, clearing some snow, chipping away at this house. Need to find somewhere in #stl to donate clothing, its one of the three big clearing projects here, books and comics being the other two. Yes, I should be working, but if'n you saw our weather on the news, you can guess why I'm not.






Victoria could become first Australian state to ban unnecessary surgery on intersex children
Victoria will become the first Australian state to ban unnecessary surgeries on intersex children, with legislation to be introduced to parliament to ensure procedures are deferred until patients are old enough to consent to them.

The health minister, Mary-Anne Thomas, will on Tuesday introduce the health safeguards for people born with variations in sex characteristics bill, which if passed would prohibit deferrable, irreversible procedures and treatments on intersex infants and children until they can provide informed consent.

Intersex people are born with variations in sex characteristics – such as reproductive organs, chromosomes or hormones – that do not fit typical definitions of male or female.

Thomas said the reform – first committed to in 2021 – gives intersex people agency over their own bodies. She said it follows instances where people born with variations in sex characteristics have experienced harm and trauma through inappropriate and unnecessary medical interventions.

β€œEvery person deserves the right to make decisions about their own body, with respect, dignity and safety at the heart of the care they receive,” Thomas said.

β€œThis is an important step forward for people born with variations in sex characteristics and their families – who for too long have not had the fair and proper legal recognition of their rights.”
