Boy, things surely have gone to crap at General Motors Corporation since my father left the company in the middle of the 1980s, having been there for about twenty years. My father was only a draftsman. But, certainly, I can say that General Motors Corporation has surely gone to crap since my father was there, and a part of that is because Barack Hussein Obama as the U.S. president helped reshape the management of General Motors Corporation during the first term for Barack Hussein Obama as the U.S. president--yes, a communist shaped the management of a private corporation, and it has led to crap. On April 25, 2022, General Motors Corporation released a press release entitled "GM Asks Suppliers to Sign Pledge Advancing Global Climate Action and Human Rights". I say that the theme is bullshit! General Motors Corporation is only supposed to be involved in making vehicles and not pressuring other companies to comply with idiotic ideas of communists and socialists and progressives, especially those who say that man is killing the planet, which will die in about eight years (as pushed by such rotten people with lies). Look at some of the text of the press release--"...DETROIT -- Today, General Motors announced an innovative new pledge that invites global suppliers to join he company in a commitment to carbon neutrality, the development of social responsibility programs and implementation of sustainable procurement practices in their supply chain operations. The Environmental, Social and Governance Partnership Pledge is unique because it calls for social and governance commitments, such as human rights protections and fair operating practices. By signing the pledge suppliers commit to: * Achieving carbon neutrality for their Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by dates based on their respective industry. These are 2025 or earlier for Professional Service, 2035 or earlier for Manufacturing and 2038 or earlier for Raw Materials and Logistics. * By 2025, achieving a minimum score of 50 in the EcoVadis Labor & Human Rights and Ethics pillars, which demonstrates a mature sustainability management system that covers employee health and safety, social dialogue, diversity/nondiscrimination, child and forced labor, and avoids corruption and anticompetitive practices. * By 2025, achieving a minimum score of 50 in the EcoVadis Sustainable Procurement pillar, which covers how GM's suppliers understand and govern the social and environmental practices of their own suppliers and use their purchasing influence to advance sustainability. EcoVadis is a third-party assessor that evaluates how well a company integrates the principles of sustainability and corporate social responsibility into their business and management system....". Do you see the communism being pushed by companies by a big company that was affected adversely by Barack Hussein Obama? It is something to think about while traveling to places to see in Michigan, such as this summer. And the push by General Motors Corporation and other auto manufacturers to completely switch to "electric vehicles" shows more idiocy that you can think about while traveling. On May 19, 2022, Yahoo News had a story called "California's electrical grid has an EV problem" (which was written by Akiko Fujita), and the article opened with--"California energy officials issued a sobering warning this month, telling residents to brace for potential blackouts as the state's energy grid faces capacity constraints into the summer months In Sacramento, officials said California's grid could face a potential shortfall of roughly 1,700 megawatts, which would affect the power supply of between 1 million and 4 million people this summer. That number would likely be exacerbated by an additional shortfall of 5,000 megawatts in the case of extreme heat and further fire damage to existing power lines....". The problem is government made--purposely. I report that people can hear a radio station called WTCM-AM in the northern part of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan and a portion of the eastern third or so of the Upper Peninsula, and in around June 2, 2022, people were hearing stories on the radio station (at 580 AM) that reported people could see brown outs in Michigan this summer, especially when there are temperatures of ninety degrees or more for several days. So I say in jest--"Hurry! Run out an get an electric vehicle (an EV)!". Forget the idea that the communists and socialists and progressives are working to chop down the production of abundant electricity. When you travel in Michigan, be aware that the person whom you see driving an electric vehicle is probably an idiot, not unlike Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who is also a pusher of communism and socialism and even racial hatred--blacks against whites. Gretchen Whitmer has been trying to shut down an oil pipeline in the Straits of Mackinac (which separates the Upper Peninsula from the Lower Peninsula) for some time. Because of the actions of the Democrats, especially Joseph Biden as the U.S. president, in government of the country, gas prices have been rising for months, and it should be interesting to see how tourism goes in Michigan this summer-tourist season, which seems to have started out slowly where I have been in the northern part of the Lower Michigan. Where I have been, it has been cool, and the Memorial Day holiday weekend seemed to be no big deal, and I add that, where I was, the weather was cool--if not sort of cold--for the Memorial Day holiday weekend, and there was no real beach use, and I saw not much in the way of boats or wave runners or the like, and I should say that it was a quiet holiday. Oh, I had better add this information. The Detroit Free Press is a crummy newspaper, but on May 22, 2022, the edition of the Detroit Free Press did have an article called "Coast Guard: Don't use E15 fuel to fill boat gas tanks" (Wethington, Lauren. "Coast Guard: Don't use E15 fuel to fill boat gas tanks." Detroit Free Press, 22 May 2022, p. 4A), and, for example, the article noted--"...In a Facebook post last week, the government agency cautioned boaters that new fuel standards allowing the sale of E15 gas could pose safety threats when used in watercrafts. The fuel, which contains 15% ethanol, was authorized for the summer for use in cars. However, it's federally prohibited for vessel use because of its potential to cause marine engine damage, thus voiding any engine warranties, the U.S. Coast Guard says. Even more worrying, the Coast Guard says E15 fuel has been proven to make engines run hotter, which increases the likelihood of a boat fire....". What the article does not hint at is E15 fuel is not good for small engines in general, and small engines, such as chain saws and lawn mowers, should be given "recreational gas" or "rec gas." Near me, there is a store closed this summer, which sold "rec gas" in the past, so now I have to get "rec gas" from some place that is farther away. In a way, I have to use more gas in a vehicle to get "rec gas" than I used o And that problem was partially caused by government rules of over the last two years and more. And I say in jest--"It seems I should buy an electricity-based lawn mower, which would require a cord that is some 500-feet long or a big battery, and it seems I should buy an electricity-based chain saw.". I can see my starting up an electricity-based lawn motor and my blowing the fuses of the electricity grid of towns and cities all over Michigan because I send the grid system over the cliff or beyond the capability, and you might be sitting in a motel room while on vacation when it happens. Have a ball!
Warning announcement! Because of incidents at schools for children and incidents at other places for people in general tied to "Sharia" or "Islamic Law" or even the religion/political system known as "Islam," I now regularly have this paragraph as a part of each edition of Michigan Travel Tips. The governmental system of the United States of America based on The U.S. Constitution and "Sharia" or, informally, Islamic law, are not compatible and cannot co-exist, and one reason is "Sharia" (et cetera) is a political system, in which there is one-party rule, and that one party is basically made up or controlled by religious leaders who base all the ways of their culture or society on "Sharia" or "Islamic Law." Those who uphold and practice "Sharia" have no tolerance for the existence of Christianity or Buddhism or Hinduism or non-religion, and that is a fact, and "Sharia" is a political system in which women are second-rate human bodies and in which clergy can be involved in determining business transactions, and there is no "freedom of speech" tied to politics in a society related to "Sharia." When you travel around Michigan and in other states of the country, watch for signs that rotten people are trying to teach you or family members, especially children, that "Sharia" is good and "Allah" is good and teach you or family members that the United States of America is bad and that, for instance, Christianity and Buddhism and Hinduism are bad, which I have evidence is happening and which is being brought about by people who are clearly working to make "Sharia" a dominant political system in the world (it is a political system as rotten as socialism and fascism and communism are, since it promotes violence and thuggery and coercion, and it promotes killing of non-followers behind the face of religion and a god, Allah). By the way, a society based on "Sharia" really creates nothing in the long run and does not advance the human society as a whole since it is too busy suppressing the ideas of people and keeping the ideas of the society based on ways of only a few minds up front (the political leaders), whose main purpose is too keep themselves enriched through the work of others, the many--it is a gang-run society really. Yes, if you run across people pushing the idea that Muslim stuff--particularly the true The Quran and not the translations of The Quran that are faked to hide the true nature of Islam--is better than the U.S. is, especially to little children, go public and make it known to other good people and fight back against it.
I wonder if some tourist attractions are going to get bypassed this summer. Fayette Historic State Park is located down in southern Delta County of the Upper Peninsula, and, in a way, it seems to take a long time to get to the place, and it seems to be out of the way. Whitefish Point, which is in the far north of Chippewa County of the Upper Peninsula, seems to take a while to get to--it is off the main drags, such as M-28 and M-123. Northport is located in the far north of Leelanau County of the Lower Peninsula, and it is place where people can find Peterson Park and the Grand Traverse Lighthouse Museum, the main feature of which is the Grand Traverse Lighthouse (which was set up with a fourth-order lens in 1857), and the museum has an aircraft-carrier exhibit today, and Northport is as far as a person can go on land in Leelanau County. The tip of the Thumb of the Lower Peninsula is probably going to be considered out of the way for many people this summer, and that means there could be fewer travelers in the Grindstone City area, where there is a park along Lake Huron known as Grindstone County Park, and it seems, despite the COVID-19 mess, which was created by the communists of China, who are like the people of the Democratic Party, Grindstone General Store and Rybak's Ice Cream Store are going to be open for the summer tourist season in the general Grindsone City/Port Austin area. And I wonder how many people are now planning trips to California, given the prices of gas, and I am talking about California Township of Michigan and not the State of California. California Township is a small place in Branch County of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, and it is a place that has the California Community Church and George's Boot Barn. I can find no tourist attractions in California Township, so that place probably gets very little tourism traffic each year, and it seems it will not get better this year.
On Tuesday, June 7, 2022, the ugly U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (who is related to Michigan) was part of U.S. Senate committee hearing that featured as a witness U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. One thing that Debbie Stabenow said was--"...I do have to say--just on the issue of, ah, gas prices--after waiting for a long time to have enough chips in this country to finally get my electdric vehicle, I got it, ah, and drove it from Michigan to here, ah, this last weekend and went by every single gas station, and it didn't matter how high it was. And so I'm looking forward to the opportunity for us to move to vehices that aren't going to be dependent on the, uhm, whims of the oil companies and the international market....". The statement is idocy, given, for one, people's having an electric vehicle will be dependent on a supply of electricity, which will have to come from some entity or entities, such as during a long trip, like that covering the distance between Michigan and Washington, D.C.. I report that on June 7, 2022, The Daily Caller published a story called "Democrat Senator Couldn't Care Less About Gas Prices Because She Drives Electric" [Lynn, Brianna. "Democrat Senator Couldn't Care Less About Gas Prices Because She Drives Electric" dailycaller.com, 7 June 2022, 4:20 p.m., ET.] that reported that Kelly Blue Book shows the average price of an electric vehicle at about $60,000.00, and I do not know what Debbie Stabenow got, but I bet it is not a the low-cost model.
Oh, I urge you to see the article entitled "Is it ethical to purchase a lithium battery powered EV?" [Stein, Ronald. "Is it ethical to purchase a lithium battery powered EV?." cfact.org, 7 June 2022}, since it can give you an impression of why Debbie Stabenow's head is full of crap about how electric vehicles can save the world.
Enjoy your traveling in Michigan!
And keep aware of the rotten people in Michigan.
Stay well!

P.S. #1: Remember: While you travel in Michigan, remind your children or grandchildren that they should never pledge to be a "servant to Obama" or a servant to any politician or sing the praises of Barack Obama, and to help you remember other matters that you should teach children about bad politicians, such as Barack Obama (who can be described as an "enslave"), see such other documents of mine as Conservatism for Children and What Conservatism Means (which can be reached through this link: Conservatism) and Lessons for Children about Politics and Dangerous People (which can be reached through this link: Children). (Note: I first passed along the subject of not being a "servant to Obama" and the like in the publication entitled T.H.A.T. #58, which can be reached through this link: T.H.A.T. #58.)
P.S. #2: While you travel in Michigan, it is easy to come across evidence of rotten people or to meet rotten people. One really rotten man is Richard Bernstein, who is a new member to the Supreme Court for the State of Michigan. Evidence of his rottenness can be found in my document entitled Richard Bernstein--A Man Who Hopes You Are Blind to His Rottenness, which can be reached through this Bernstein link. Yet, on Monday, January 12, 2015, the Detroit Free Press did a story about Richard Bernstein to sell Richard Bernstein as something good, though he is not (Ahern, Louise Knott. "State's 1st blind justice aims to be inspiration." Detroit Free Press, 12 January 2014, p. 4A.). I report--I urge anyone who runs a business and loses a court case in which Richard Bernstein was one of the presiding judges to have the decision thrown out or killed through another case, since Richard Bernstein, while running to be elected to the Supreme Court of Michigan, made it clear that he was going to be biased against businesses if he were to be elected to the Supreme Court of Michigan, and that is a fact. Richard Bernstein is a rotten man!
