From the state that brought you the nation’s first ban on climate science comes another legislative gem: a bill that would prohibit automakers from selling their cars in the state.
The proposal, which the Raleigh News & Observer reports was unanimously approved by the state’s Senate Commerce Committee on Thursday, would apply to all car manufacturers, but the intended target is clear. It’s aimed at Tesla, the only U.S. automaker whose business model relies on selling cars directly to consumers, rather than through a network of third-party dealerships.
It won't be long before NC stands for "Nut Carolina" or it may already. Gee. And just my luck this comes along as I am putting the finishing touches on my incredible crash resistant solid rubber car that I had planned on selling at Smiley's on weekends. Two advantages of my all rubber car are that when two of them collide, they just bounce back off each other. Also, bullets bounce off as well. The only disadvantage is that the all rubber car comes only in black. But I guess it doesn't matter now.....
NC has gone bat crap crazy.
I'll take one of those rubber cars to drive to my doctor's appointment, where soon I'll be paying sales tax. Is that on the co-pay or the entire bill?
When that frustration and two hours of paperwork causes me to drive erratically, bouncing off guard rails and trees, concerned witnesses can call the Highway Patrol dispatcher, sitting at her console, 100 miles away from here.
I recall reading where NC's former Democrat governor wanted to drop the "Education" from the lottery name so as to be able to freely spend lottery money as the state deems fit. Has that happened yet? Now the Republican governor wants to trim down the SHP as a cost cutting measure; along with several other
cutting of some numerous other services. These sure are hard times, ain't they?

Yes, I recommend the rubber car, but wish to caution anyone who chooses to drive one.....should you crash into something, the rubber car makes hardly any noise during a crash; only a dull sort of thud can be heard, and that only by persons in the immediate vicinity. So, with the move of the NC Highway Patrol dispatch to parts more remote from our local area, should you be involved in a rubber car crash, I recommend you maintain consciousness and call the cops yourself, as no one else is likely to have noticed or heard your rubber car crash; unless some glass happens to break. One final word of caution to prospective rubber car drivers......it is not recommended for a rubber car driver to wear wool or silk clothing, as this can contribute to a catastrophic buildup of static electricity if you forget to deploy the rubber car grounding chain before heading out. Happy trails.

Ok, that's it, then. I suppose I will have to sue the state over the issue of me being able to build and sell my rubber car directly to rubber car buyers (the idea of a rubber car middleman is too vile to ponder for even a minute). I mean, it's either that, or else pursue my controversial idea to sell chainsaws and handguns directly to previously convicted felons, potential wife beaters, and various fugitives and misfits who suffer from feelings of paranoia and inadequacy I expect to garner considerable support for this venture from many of the extreme and extremely extreme folks on the right. Thanks.
You ain't right!
