Republicans in the Senate are considering a measure in President Trump’s big domestic policy bill that would essentially nullify the fuel efficiency rules for cars and light trucks that have been in place for nearly 50 years.

The provision would eliminate fines for any automaker that failed to comply with federal Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards, which were created by Congress in 1975. Over time, those efficiency rules have gotten stricter, pushing automakers to improve the mileage of their cars and trucks and to introduce innovations like the Toyota Prius hybrid.

Environmentalists fear that without penalties to enforce compliance, automakers could freely ignore those rules, leading to expanded gasoline use and more pollution from millions of tailpipes. The measure could also slow the growth of electric vehicles, which are already facing stiff headwinds under the Trump administration.

“If polluters are told that there’s no penalty for polluting, what do you think they’re going to do?” said Daniel Becker, director of the Safe Climate Transport Campaign at the Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental group. “They’ll be perfectly happy to pollute more and make more gas guzzlers.

Automakers including General Motors and Stellantis have welcomed Republican moves to relax fuel economy standards, relieving them from paying hundreds of millions of dollars in fines when they fall short. Yet experts say abolishing the penalties could be unfair to carmakers like Toyota that have invested in fuel-efficient technology. Toyota declined to comment.

Democrats unsuccessfully challenged the measure with the Senate parliamentarian, a nonpartisan official who enforces the chamber’s rules and has been ruling on what can be included in Mr. Trump’s domestic policy bill.

This is purely hypothetical, and not actually happening.

Say its a husband and wife. The husband is the primary bread winner. His annual salary is 150k. The wife just finished school and was offered her dream job. the catch, they need to move 2000 miles away. From one high cost of living area to another high cost of living area. the other catch, Her job is less than 50% of the husbands current income, at 45k annually. His job won't transfer him, and there aren't remote work options. Who should be expected to give up ones career? The husband? or the wife? at least until a better option presents.

I personally vote that the wife should wait for a better option. Especially considering the husbands salary is 3 times what she would make.

Just LOOK 👀 👀 👀 AT THIS!!

WASHINGTON—Telling reporters that the move would do much to combat low U. S. fertility rates, President Donald Trump issued an executive order Tuesday reversing vasectomies nationwide.

“We’re requiring all men to head to their doctors and have them undo these terrible, terrible procedures,” the president said in an address from the Oval Office in which he clarified that men over the age of 18 would be given 60 days to have their reproductive ducts reconnected or face imprisonment.

“Go to your urologist, get them to make a small cut—just a little cut on the scrotum—and put all that stuff back together. There will be some pain, but we want our men blowing full, beautiful loads to make the country’s future bright. America’s vas deferens will be the envy of the world.”

Trump added that this executive action would overturn the “awful Biden orders” that forced all men to get vasectomies in the first place.

Let's name this party the American Party, and the mascot is the Bald Eagle!!

This country is collapsing due to the old out-touch Democrats and the Republicans!!

Did you know that the American Society of Civil Engineers grades the state of US airport infrastructure as D+ and that the USA's bridge infrastructure has been graded C?

What have both Democrats and Republicans been doing to make sure our infrastructure is graded an A? Nothing because both parties are freaking old and do nothing to improve this country!!

Now, let's move on to healthcare!! Our healthcare system is often criticized for its high costs and relatively poor health outcomes compared to other developed nations!! The US has lower life expectancy and higher rates of preventable and treatable deaths compared to many other high-income countries!!

Also, the US is unique among developed nations in lacking universal healthcare coverage. This means millions are uninsured, and even those with insurance often face high out-of-pocket costs and affordability issues, which can lead to delayed or forgone care!!

The US is an outlier among developed nations for not guaranteeing paid sick leave and paid family or maternity leave. It is the only high-income country without a national paid leave policy.

We need a freaking party whose politicians are younger and more aggressive and bolder that wants the United States to catch up with the rest of the developed countries!! Both the Democrats and the Republicans failed this country!!
