And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Heat and air conditioning. They must keep all the new fancy electronics comfy AND clean, or it will pull a China crap thing--- sum ting wong it won't go.
Oh yeah, those triple seven and 758 rock trucks have excellent cab heat and air conditioning. In WV coal mines, state requirements, they have to work or get red tagged till repaired, holds for all equipment from loaders to hoes. Actually pretty nice working conditions, and necessary, think about it, your running say a loader, all glass cockpit, its an instant greenhouse without good air conditioning. In the big trucks, your cab sits right above huge diesel V-10's and v-12's. Winter time working in those cuts its usually big wind tunnels, with the wind whipping around the mountain your on. Worked couple days in a 777 had no heat, cause it came from Spain, the heating kit ordered for it was late, and we needed to move rock cause of tight schedule, volunteered to run one of them, had a heavy insulated winter suit, snow boots gloves etc, had to keep the window open to stop frost from forming inside the windshield, by end of the 10 hour shift it was pretty frosty.
I've been in them.. the cabs are actually fairly luxurious. Better than being in a bulldozer or backhoe for instance.
