Here is something else the lady at The Young Turds doesn’t think about. In fact, I don’t think anybody has, or if they have, I haven’t seen it. How do we pay for the highways??? With GAS taxes. Sooo, if we don’t use gas as much anymore, who is going to make up for the decreased taxes??? Yep - electric vehicle users! Somebody will figure out how to make EV users pay for it. Because even electric cars have to use the highway system.

These jerkoffs always miss the main point - you can turn the whole US auto fleet electric, and China and India will still be bringing on board a new coal-fired power plant every couple of weeks - if you’re worried about CO2 (and I’m not), the EV’s won’t make any significant difference in the greater scheme of things.

There’s more than the costs here. It’s the loss of freedom and convenience. There is no logic to banning gas stoves and cars.

the move is not to get folks out of ICE vehicles into electric vehicles. It is to get folks out of the suburbs and into the inner cities. Inner cities are liberal utopias where everything is neatly planned— everyone lives in tenement apartments, and rides public transportation or bikes to work.

because, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. comrades, be happy! our glorious future is nearly upon us!

Under the Great Reset, poor people aren’t supposed to have cars, shelter or enough to eat. The governor certainly understands that, or he at least acts like it.

Not on principle, but of course, out of sheer selfishness.
