Politics? No, this is about survival... Get a CDL to drive your tractor.

Obviously you didn't go read the entire article.  It's not just about the kids, grandpa or slave labor.  Sorry your city mindedness got in your way.  Politics?  Well I'm thinking folks who live out in farm/ranch land see this kind if thing as much closer to home and very much fodder for coffee shop concern.  However, if Teresa wants to move it, that's fine by me.

Last year, it was the EPA taking a 'shot' at making lead lead a ground pollutant and restricting its' use in ammunition.  Nowthe DOT wants to make Old MacDonald (sorry Sarge) get a CDL to operate his Ford 9N (to be reclassified as an interstate commercial vehicle) on the quarter mile dirt road between his front & back yards.  And do so by regulatory fiat and not legislation.  Chicken Little?  You really don't get it, do ya?

Speaking of livelihoods, workplace protections, and pensions, yours is protected somewhat by a union contract, isn't it, teach?

They don't have authority under interstate compact agreement.  THats intrastate.

However I think that you're refering to the State DMV and I wasn't.

True statement..I retract. 
However, that being said...someone from the Federal Government tells the State KDOR what policies to enact.

Personally, it needs to be addressed by the locals.
Oh, wait,   we don't have a sayso.   I sayso yes, we do...by golly!!!!!!!!!!!
ready

  Lol Catwoman....my Granpa taught me to drive when I was 9 in a ford pickup with a three on the tree:) I taught my oldest son to drive when he was 8 in a gmc pickup with a three speed........We can both drive anything with a motor in it. I've known a LOT of farm kids that were better drivers at 8 than a lot of the adults I see drivin now. Yeah guess we're gonna have to agree to disagree LOL

i was 8 when my grandpa let me drive the studebaker.  Up til then he let me steer, then when i could reach the gas pedal and brake he let me.

Bullshit.  I grew up driving farm tractors.  My kids drove their first one at 7. Sheesh.  I was operating dozer and backhoe on my grandpas farm when i was 10.  Gotta love grandpas!  

Steve so did I. My dad was a civil engineer and I drove many large vehicles and equipment when I was a kid(maybe 10 years old.. lso, drove combines, flew planes, before I ever drove a car. First time I ever drove a car  (age 12) was in Elk County after going with my Uncle Jacot to geld a horse 10 miles outside of Moline. 2 minutes of instruction on driving a stick shift Ford pickup. Took of for Howard while my Uncle slept on the seat. Spent more time in rural areas than you have.

Jarhead I told Kjell or Teresa in a pm that I would lighten up on you, Sarge, Ross, Patriot, and Steve and stop trying to rile you up. Feel free to continue your name calling, because it won't hurt my feelings.

Had to read twice to see what the hell you are talking about. It was a typo. Sometimes my typing finger works independently of my grey matter. You don't need to lighten up on me. If you get to hurting my feelings I will just quit reading your posts

Steve I didn't expect anything less from you. Still I made a promise to lighten up on you and I will do so. As I said to Jarhead say and respond to me as you want it won't hurt my feelings. By the way Steve as a 50 year old man on Social Security Disabilty for heart problems why are you smoking cigars? None of my business, but I do care some. I like posting, debating, argueing with you here on the forum and I would like the to continue long into the future.
