    What happened to Tier 4 being the final emmissions hoop? Or is this Tier 4?

    they base this crap on a study from highly congested European cities without real evidence that it has been happening here.

    I will be 70, and am already on a 5 year plan to partially retire from this rotten industry. Walked into the hardware store the other month and saw a part time help wanted sign up, it got me to thinking about how long before I can do something like that. I gave myself 5 years to completely pay off all bills including house, and get a little nest egg and get the f out of here.

    The epa constantly lowers the bar, once one goal is achieved. I think they’re more concerned with their own survival than anyone else’s.

    A blind man can see that. It's the same with the eternal software updates for phones and ####. They have to justify their jobs existence or it goes away.
