You used to be able to smoke in the doctors' offices, even had a couple of doctors who smoked...and in the hospital...except in rooms where o2 was in use.

and my great-grandmas smoked so much that i think visiting her house a few times a year probably took a couple years off my expected lifespan.
Some of us still buy musicPost some of your recent or very old nostalgic memories and see if anyone else remembers.
Remember when people used to brag about how many mp3s they had on their ipod or hard drive? Now days we don't even buy music. We just listen to streaming stations.
Smooth, sure, but they didn't exactly provide a lot in the way of road feel, and weren't great for more spirited driving. I liked my Grand Marquis, but I enjoy something more connected to the road.They rode smooth like sitting on your living room couch, and 8 MPG,, consider gas was 50 cents a gallon at the time?
Remember when McDonalds fried their pies and they actually tasted good?
I used to work at an adult storeRemember when you had to go to the pornography store to buy your pornography?
That's what it means now, unless you like using slursRemember when blowing a tranny meant serious car trouble!
I remember when they used lard and fries melted in your mouth, so delicious but I probably have a few years longer life from the discontinuation of frying things in lard.Remember when McDonalds fried their pies and they actually tasted good?
Vegetable oil is just as bad for you as lard with none of the flavorI remember when they used lard and fries melted in your mouth, so delicious but I probably have a few years longer life from the discontinuation of frying things in lard.

Plus they were inexpensive to repair. It was a better time unless someone can't drive to save their life and needs nanny features and ultimate performance just to safely drive the speed limit on public roads. The one exception is of course that we had to improve fuel economy because oil IS a renewable resource but only if we use it at an equal or lower rate than it is formed.
[rant]Ultimately this is the irony, that the only truly renewable resource is energy from the sun and it making biofuel from the plant matter the planet can sustain, whether oil or humans short stepping that process to make alcohol.[/rant] Wind? No. Solar? No. Nuclear? No. All these require raping the land and exhausting resources. Only solar generated biofuel is self sustaining in the long run.
50 cents/gallon gasoline nearly brought thus country to its knees...rationing, (odd/even plate numbers, alternating days)
I'm fckn old. Gasoline shouldn't be more than 35 cents/gallon. View attachment 84131
Taken out of context, I mentioned biofuel (continued support of ICE vehicles that otherwise depend on oil) and yes it is renewable from the source (plant matter) using man made processes or the shortcut which is biofuel/ethanol. Corn just isn't the right crop.wow, you're insane.
so it takes about 50-120million years to make oil, and you call it renewable?
Letme guess, you envy those good old days because your favorite snack was the abundant lead paint chips that you could so easily find. I think you're chief complaint is that those evil regulators removed the lead from your life.

Minimum wage in 1970 was $1.45-$1.50. that's about 4.25 gallons of gasoline at 35 cents/gallon. At $7/gallon, the minimum wage would be $29.75/hr.It should be about $7 per gallon right now, but we are a very stupid people.

More efficient growing methods also sink away CO2.
I made no mention of lead, am glad it's no longer in *most* fuel except old piston engine aircraft et al.

I'm pretty sure you and I would both be dead in somewhat short order if gasoline (or fuel in general) just stopped being a thing. I suppose that being alive is a luxury, though, so you're correct.why would you tie the cost of an unnecessary luxury item like gasoline to that of minimum wage? it's stupid economics. Sure, the minimum wage is criminally low (this is what Reagan and the fascists keep giving us), but that's a different topic.
Yes, clearly what he was proposing was the immediate abolishment of all fuels.I'm pretty sure you and I would both be dead in somewhat short order if gasoline (or fuel in general) just stopped being a thing. I suppose that being alive is a luxury, though, so you're correct.
Fuel is not an unnecessary luxury item unless you live in a cabin in the woods and your self-sustaining quality of life is quite low, and your lifespan near 1/3rd shorter than we have achieved today.why would you tie the cost of an unnecessary luxury item like gasoline to that of minimum wage?
There's plenty of cause and effect in between the range of all/current or nothing consumption of fuels. At the same time, I do favor conservation, smaller vehicles and fewer trips, but being forced to do so because it's unaffordable not to, is a step backwards for society.Yes, clearly what he was proposing was the immediate abolishment of all fuels.
You've absolutely and completely missed the point that was being made.There's plenty of cause and effect in between the range of all/current or nothing consumption of fuels.
