historian david kirsch noticed germanyfrance, britain, and russia, truck purchasers received up to 1200 dollars from the government for the purchase of an approved vehicle, which stipulated petroleum. internal combustion, ice-powered vehicles, over electrical alternatives. u.s. manufacturers established designs for standard war trucks in 1916 in 1917 and began exporting vehicles to the front. kirsch writes, the dramatic role of motor trucks on the conduct of the great war reinforced and accelerated the standardization of the commercial peacetime truck. by 1919, electric trucks accounted for less than 1% of the total number of commercial vehicles produced in the united states. this is the important part, down from 11% in 1909. 11% of the truck fleet in the u.s. in 1909 was electric. mobility on the u.s. homefront was influenced in basic ways by the needs of the war. in the u.s., the strain on the nation's railroad fueled the military to long-distance trucking and to call for the roads that these routes made necessary. in addition most trucks for the war effort were manufactured in the mi

following the war, explained kirsch, standard practices within the industry included the use of long-haul trucking over railroads, forced the appropriate sphere of the electric truck to grow smaller. although proponents of electrics pushed for separate spheres of transportation with separate technologies, business owners could not support hybrid fleets. in making their decision for the internal combustion powered truck, businesses accepted a cost-benefit scenario that allowed them to succeed across the board. even if another technology such as electric-powered made more sense for short hauling. it was these decisions that helped to determine the future pattern in human mobility. during world war i, having a domestic abundance of crude to manage put the united states in a powerful position. no matter what regulatory choices it made, it was a war, writes historian daniel jorgen, that was fought between men and machines, and these machines were powered by oil. when the war broke out military strategy was organized around horses. such primitive modes dominated the fighting in this transitiona

somehow look a bit like the dark woods and here it is a black fire scatter a sponge cake basically kirsch a cure whipped cream and cherries and chocolate shavings. the black forest isn't just a place to go sightseeing or enjoy a meal it's great for winter sports. that $1001500.00 made has its highest mountain in the felde but is almost guaranteed to have snow it's home to the region's biggest ski resorts. the black forest the biggest skiing ariad no way i'm missing that but 1st i need to fetch them dear no problem because there's a rental spot at the foot of the slopes. the there are 38 lifts around the field back and some 63 kilometers of peace. i'm going to start with a blue slope one of the easier ones i haven't read in a while the 1st. great weather perfect snow and a view all the way to the alps i couldn't ask for more. time to try something a little more challenging. but. that was amazing. and considering it's my 1st piece remember the year i don't think i did too bad but as he is way too old school for you and you like to try out more innovative ways of moving around the globe i've

own table get everyone take a close to very important all right now right off you'll see that the kirsch appears by itself on its own and or. another say you know this is the qubits the most important man in the place and how ok cheers and always think of curse blast at the bottom white if you just take a look at the glass you'll be able to figure it out for yourself and. maybe. is this the face of the glass is narrow where at the top than at the bottom of the mountain part after you've downed a few coals and give the glass a proper thing the glass will break up. so you should always touch glasses at the bottom remember that for every it's very important. that decade of year that the good has to itself has an extremely important function that of course it goes under the kurdish and serves as a tab they make marks on it is also very important here in cologne when you get to where you don't want any more coach you have to put the coaster on top of the glass then you won't get anywhere. before. we leave the food and head for the party but i was number 2. here of the year and here you see a

kirsch reinforced and accelerated the standardization of the peacetime truck. trucks -- theric total number of commercial vehicles produced in the united states. in 1909. 11% wasof the fleet in 1909 electric. mobility on the u.s. homefront was influenced in basic ways by the needs of the war. in the u.s. a strain on the railroads fueled the military to trucking long-distance and to call for the roads that these routes made necessary. in addition, most trucks were manufactured in the midwest. and needed to be brought to the eastern seaboard for shipment. from 1917 to 19 -- 1918 it is estimated -- trucks made this trip. act916 the federal road focused federal funds on roads that would help farmers get their products out of the rural areas with more ease and flexibility. following the war, standard practices within the industry included the use of long-haul forcedg over railroads, the appropriate sphere of the electric truck to grow smaller. although proponents of electrics pushed for separate spheres of transportation with separate technologies, business owners c

the successful generations of the truck family and the kirsch kershner family and the quasi- legal schemes to not pay taxes. that means the next generation just becomes richer and richer and richer with the snowball effect. there is an economic study that was done what happens with the very rich. it begins in 1981 which was the year that gerry kushner and ivanka trump were born. it sort of looks like the right-hand half of the u. so the line on the chart just shoots upward, that is how what's happening with the rich and the very wealthy and the people like those families get wealthier and wealthier. very, very fast. and it's impossible to answer the question that you ask because the amounts of money transferred from one generation to the next with increasingly unfettered ability to flow, makes it -- itself floods out the data point you can even answer that. at the end of the story was always said about the story is the tax cuts in 2017 which cut taxes even more. we know the new york times just did a recent analysis where they said not only was -- were hundreds of billions of dollars lost f
