Sorry if I wandered into a bit of the forbidden subject here of politics, but that WILL be a fact of life and will affect the costs of our car hobby....or businesses in some cases.
I follow you, no worries. With all these new "helpful" programs we will have the costs on our hobbies increased 3 fold, you pay for yours, and 2 more except the other two are handed out for free to someone "underpriveledged"...
