Why everyone should be forced to buy a Chevy Volt
Collective Wishes ^ | July 30, 2010 | Candle

Posted on 07/30/2010 10:39:00 AM PDT by mudblood

I am hopping mad right now because our side is winning, and yet all of them are afraid of the Republican so-called "backlash" in the September election. Basically, President Obama forced GM to make the Chevy Volt, which is great. This car gets something like 40 miles on a single charge, and only uses gasoline if you have some capitalist need to go out of your local community. So it FORCES people to conserve more, which is great for the environment, and good for everyone. Its incredible. Personally, they needed to lose the stupid gas tank, but again, our side caved to the special interests. Anyway, the car costs $40,000, which isn't that much if EVERYONE is paying it (after all, if everyone can jump 10 feet in the air, rather than about 3 feet, then people wouldn't be surprised at all - 10 feet would seem like it was 'normal').

Is this some kind of Socialist website? I am afraid to click on the link and get whatever illness they have.

“after all, if everyone can jump 10 feet in the air, rather than about 3 feet, then people wouldn’t be surprised at all - 10 feet would seem like it was ‘normal”

And if everyone was stupid like this writer, THAT would seen normal too.

This is some pretty crude satire.

Another great feature of the Volt (and Leaf) is the fact that it’s difficult to hoard electricity.

That means that if we all decide to march on Washington it will be just that, a march, if Washington cuts electricity to the dissident counties or states. Nobody from 40 miles away will be able to drive there in their mandatory electric cars.

Oh some Gadsden-flag-flyers will have a half dozen jerry cans and a Honda generator, who know how to hack he Volt charger system, but these will be a small easily handled number that make a racket when they charge up.

From a people-control viewpoint the Volt is a winner!

You joke, but if they can force healthy young people to buy overpriced, old-folks’-care-subsidizing health insurance ... then why NOT force people to buy a particular car?

FYI: The Volt can run on either gasoline *or* electricity.

Now, the Nissan Leaf is a different story (although there are some range-extending genset trailers out there — then again, the Leaf isn’t supposed to be able to tow anything).

Great reasons to force people to buy the Chevy Volt: 1) It would free the world from competition, because people WOULDN'T buy gas-guzzling cars from non-green companies like Ford and Toyota. Ford purposely didn't take any bailout money so that they could continue to destroy the rainforests, and they need to pay.

2) Forcing everyone, not just a few people, to buy the Volt would actively engage ALL people to help the world, and helping the world is the reason we have a government at all, isn't it?

3) Once we force people to buy a Chevy Volt, getting them to do other things will be that much easier. Tv's that only run 40 minutes, computers that only run 40 minutes, and lots of other things that will only operate for about 40 minutes before cutting off.

4) Once the other car companies are out of business, we can even get the battery life down to maybe 20 miles, rather than 40, and this would allow people to spend more time in their local communities. Local communities, local communities LOCAL COMMUNITIES. Good for you, good for me, good for the entire community.

5) Once everyone starts buying the Chevy Volt, people will realize that taking over GM was a great idea, because their profits will go through the roof. And that helps them, it helps us, and everyone in local communities everywhere.

The Democrats just need to get a backbone and push this thing. Or tomorrow, there will be no more oceans.

Freightening isn't it?

Is this satire or the usual liberal understanding of economics?

Unfortunately, there are too many fools on this planet that zealously believe what is tongue-in-cheek satire meant to embarrass them.

Well there’s a real headline I read a little while ago, how in NJ someone’s suing a bar because they sold them alcohol which resulted in a DUI (something like that, I only skimmed it). When you read that kinda thing every day, you’re absolutely right.

It depends on who's writing it.
