Is Biden targetting small businesses, truckers & farmers, with nitrogen oxide standards ???

Should this be moved to the political section?

 

How is another round of emission standards going to affect anyone any more or less than any previous standards? I’ve seen nothing that says any older trucks won’t be able to be registered like California has done with pre-2010 trucks so I guess the solution would be if you don’t want new trucks or can’t afford them then simply don’t buy them. There’s nothing stopping anyone from doing a large buy in 2026 like what everyone did back in 2003 and 2007.

 

Hopefully all this nonsense will be done away with in two years..just because it's proposed and passed doesn't mean it's permanent. Absolute morons running us into the ground for another 20 months.. hopefully that's all..

 

no.

 

New regulations and laws never, or only very rarely, get removed. Doesn't matter who wrote them or who's in power nor whatever BS any of them allegedly stands for either. There's an entire system set up in such a way that makes it like that.

 

I would highly reccomend the book. "The war on small business" by carol Roth..really shines a light of whats been going on for 40+ years.. It does not matter the administration that is in office.. Small business has been getting destroyed across all industries for a long time.

 

Honestly it doesnt suprise me. There is just too much money to be had in garbage like this. It doesnt matter if the tech is reiable or not just that they can force people to pay for it and line pockets regardless of political side. But like anything else, the good small businesses will find ways around the law for now the bad or failing ones will die off and things will get just a little worse for all the rest right up until we cant.

What i do see crap like this forceing is a lot of changes to how freight gets charged. It will be slow at first and its hard to say exactly what happens long term but the minimum is that people pass these costs onto the customers and make small business less competitive with megas. But for now we have old iron still on the road and there ARE ways to keep this tech moving down the road making money. Hell its going to make conversions to solutions like edisons diesel electric or even cats new diesel electric stuff far more popular as a stop gap between old iron and new garbage.

Sadly i dont see the EPA and government overreach stopping any time soon. Doesnt matter if its biden or trump or desantis or JFK or whoeever the hell in change. To many pockets to line to do away with this.

 

I don't think any administration singles out small businesses per se. In this case they are only following science and trying to improve pollution and global warming. I don't see anything wrong with trying to clean things up if you got the ability to. The small businesses that feel threatened are either the ones that have an inability or unwillingness to adjust or evolve, or the ones that probably have no business working for themselves in the first place. Things have constantly evolved. The trucking industry has evolved over and over again and folks still find a way to have their small businesses.
