This is the mindset needed to redesign cities

They've been yapping about smart cities for decades but for some reason, all these billionaires haven't pooled their money to build one.

According to the WEF, critical metals, such as cobalt, lithium, and nickel — all of which are used in “clean energy technologies” — are in short supply

As are the child slaves to dig them out of the ground in Africa.

How about we start with an end to private jet ownership?

Then we can move on to private yacht ownership.

Then it will time to ban private mansion ownership - particularly by the ocean.

Save da Erf.

The average car or van in England is driven just 4% of the time… This is not at all resource efficient

Would they be happier if we drove them more?

Sheesh, I didn’t buy a car to live in it.

Eventually we will have to find a way to reduce the population of Davos attended by about 90%

“The whole point of the push to EVs is to get rid of ICE vehicles. And then once that’s accomplished, it’s all over for personal transportation.”

That is my point. And to those people who claim that no one will take their cars from their cold, dead, hands, don’t worry, you’ll get to keep your gasoline cars. The problem will be the cost of registering and driving them. And if you try to drive without being registered, you’ll be flagged by license plate cameras within 2 blocks and your car will be impounded and crushed.

Now wait just a minute there. I like my house at the beach. Worked very hard my entire life to afford to live here. I have guns, it will be rather hard to take it.

“people who own private jets don’t want you to own a private car”

And they are damn close to having enough power to see to that.

Bla bla bla fake reasons. They want a serf class and them as nobility and enforcers and nothing else.

Me, a week ago:

“If these rats wanted people to *drive* electric vehicles they’d have first ensured plentiful and affordable electricity, say by nuclear. THEN they’d make a case for EVs and encourage makers to develop cars that are fun, practical, or both.

Instead they’re choking the grid with fake eco demands for highly variable solar and wind and crippling dependable electricity of any sort. EVs meanwhile are purposely dull, ugly, and impractical all at once.

From this anyone can see their goals are to take away personal mobility via gas vehicles and replace it with nothing, so that people can move only when and where their feudal overlords permit.”

They’ll just tax the hell out of gasoline, and the oil companies will just say “Screw it!” it’s not worth it.

It won’t be THEIR MONEY spent on that.

And they WILL be dealt with in a very satisfying way.

Not for long, that’s why EVs are just to smooth the transition to a non-car economy.

How about a limit of 4000 square feet of living space per person? We start imposing crushing taxes for anybody with more than that.

Save Da Erf!

“They’ll just tax the hell out of gasoline, and the oil companies will just say “Screw it!” it’s not worth it.”

Or other, less visible, means, such as squeezing them on ‘pollution’ requirements, or no longer financing anything involving fossil fuels.

And they are VERY GOOD AT IT, just look at the price of gasoline in Texas - maybe $3.50 a gallon, now go to Northern California, $6.50 a gallon. Why the difference? Why no protests? Who’s getting this extra $3.00 a gallon? Why is California running huge budget surpluses now, even with their on-going brain drain?

No one questions, they must be celebrating their accomplishment, BIG TIME!!!!
