    MAGA, the O&G companies and Elon Musk installed Trump because they wanted you to drive less? That was their plan all along? We all believe that …

    They are also encouraging auto makers to lower gas mileage. Keep bragging how awesome oil company stocks, and dependant US allies, are thanks to Iran war.

    2. Cycling is for suicidal maniacs
    3. Public transit is big government and communism and you’ll get mugged
    4. Cars are driving up gas prices
    5. ???
    6. PROFIT! (for the oil companies and the rest of the ruling class)

    Hope all the miserable assholes who voted for stopping electrification feel it in every part of them. I hope they have to give up on real, meaningful life dreams forever because they are now unaffordable. And I hope their houses specifically burn down in the wildfires the CO2 from their gasoline made so common.

    I am beyond done with this gasoline bullshit.

        There are a lot of things people can do on their own… in a world where the median US income isn’t $45,000 and responsible and capable products aren’t tariffed to hell.

        Mass adoption comes with affordability which comes with support and clear, intentional direction. Consumers don’t shift paradigms when they think the new paradigm won’t go anywhere. We can’t even get people off of X - and that costs NOTHING.

        Electrifying on your own is prohibitively expensive for most people, and the fact that those people have to be prepared to also pay an additional premium because they’re fighting their own government at the same time, in a period in time where people can barely afford FOOD, is not tenable.

          Using energy costs more money than not using it. With the amount of people flying every day don’t tell me cost is the problem.

      How long without dialysis before you don’t use any gasoline at all?

      Remember the anti-COVID vaccination push?

        Thank you for the giggle, lol. I’m actually not sure, but there was a lady who became convinced doctors were lying to her and I believe it took a couple of months before she died. So… a couple of months?

    That guy is a genius! Not even an expert in the obvious would’ve went there. Can we make his “bonuses” even more grotesquely huge? /s
