Oh, well, it's only a matter of time -- the fire code is being
adjusted to make 60-70 year old oil tank replacement mandatory in a
few years. This is to try an get ahead of all the tanks finally
rusting out, IIRC, and polluting a lot of land which has houses on it.
We shall see.
If this actually happens and hits early enough, it may provide the

About a year ago, I saw a horror story of this nature, with the
cost of remediation being about $800k.
I've added a rider to cover this to my home insurance, but my
tank isn't leaking. replacing it (about 40 years old) is on
the list though.

You are getting a bit over-wrought. If you can, watch "Six Minutes to Midnight" and consider how Nazis solve the problem of having to leave potential hostages (teen-aged daughters of high-level Nazis and
high-ranking military officers) in Britain at the start of WWII.
Actual Nazis were a /lot/ worse than Trump. Indeed, calling Trump (a
decadent decayed petty businessman in their eyes) a "Nazi" is an
insult to real Nazis everywhere.

I highly recommend reading "In the Garden of Beasts" by Erik Larson,
which is the story of the American diplomatic mission to Germany in
the 1930s. You'll see an awful lot of parallels to what is going on
in the US today, although thankfully you will see differences too.

adjusted to make 60-70 year old oil tank replacement mandatory in a
few years. This is to try an get ahead of all the tanks finally
rusting out, IIRC, and polluting a lot of land which has houses on it. >>>> We shall see.
If this actually happens and hits early enough, it may provide the
final push in November's election.
Around here, we dig out the the leaking tanks and take the dirt over to
Louisiana and burn the dirt. Not very cheap, in fact quite expensive.
Luckily, most of our heating comes from natural gas furnaces or electric >>> heating strips in the central air conditioning blowers. I had the
electric heating strips in both of the air conditioners of my office
building. But the north side unit failed in 2024 and I replaced it with
a heat pump. And backup heating strips.
And as far as the November election, not many people around here in
Texas are willing to vote for communists.
Intriguing. Perhaps you could give a pointer towards where I could find out >> about communists, as in actual commies, not socialists or dems, who are

I'm not sure of your point here, as Ronnie Raygun was /not/ a Democrat
(never mind a communist, in any sense) and Thatcher was thought (when
she was thought of at all -- she was, after, not part of the USA
government) as rather conservative as well.
The assertion is based on Republican campaign propaganda. Well, at
least sometimes, there is Democrat campaign propaganda just as
well-attached to reality as Republican compain propaganda (which is to
say, not at all), and they do have Bernie, Hillary, and the Friends of Bernie, who apparently still think they can sneak gummint healthcare
over on us by calling it "Medicare for all" when it really isn't
Medicare at all. So it isn't as if this nonsense were one-sided.
The Dems would be well-advised to muzzle these people, as every time
they speak votes slide away. Sadly, the Republicans show no desire,
never mind ability, to silence Trump. As I have noted before,
Democrats don't win elections, Republicans lose them (leaving the Dems
as victors).
And, of course, the only poll that counts is coming up in 3 months.
It should be about time for the Courts to put a lid on all attempts to
change how the election is to be conducted until after it is over, to
avoid confusing the voters.

ÿÿÿÿWhy would it not be a single payer system of healthcare.
Of course it would be unpopular with the well off who can pay
for healthcare with or without insurance.ÿ For the people without
resources beyond very low wages or other income not like it.
Businessmen who have to contribute to healthcare in any event would
be happier to have its as well....
Ronald Reagan was a Democrat originally but was advised by his
Father-in-law that he could get no power that way so he switched
parties to become a Republican. He got the backing and his backers got
the man they wanted to put in place the policies they profited from.
Medicare for All (tm) would require a 12% employee tax and a 12%
employer tax. The populace would freak out. That is in addition to the >$400 per month that my wife and I each pay for our Medicare part B, D,
and G supplemental insurances. My 85 year old mother is paying $600 per >month due to her age. Do the math, the cost of health care in the USA
is simply amazing, IIRC it is now 19% of the USA GDP. I have no idea
how to fix the cost.
