The cargo ship called the Morning Midas left Yantai, China on May 26, 2025, headed for Lázaro Cárdenas in Mexico, scheduled to arrive by June 15th. However, the ship will likely no longer make that date, as it is now burning in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, said to be about 300 miles to the southwest of Adak, Alaska.

Chinese vehicles have a nasty habit of catching fire. You don’t hear that from American makers.

My eldest step son has a Tesla sedan. When he comes over he has to leave it running to cool the batteries. And it's loud.

I bought a new lawnmower not too long ago. I was considering several choices, including electric. After doing a bunch of research, I discovered that all of this rechargable battery stuff is responsible for many more fires than we used to have.

I highly encourage everyone not buy any of this rechargable battery stuff. It's downright dangerous, and that includes cars.
