These laid off auto supply workers can learn how to code.
Learn after learning how to code they can’t get a job because it is being given to H1B visa holders?
Some people never learn. Let them keep voting themselves out of a job.
That EV crap ain’t gonna work in the north land. It’s beyond stupid to think it would. Beyond stupid.
If you can prove to me that an EV can survive outdoors, thru a Fairbanks winter; you’ll have me convinced. Please be aware we need BIG equipment to run and keep the roads cleared for us as well. Those of course need to be EV as well, right?
I await your response.
I live there also. Meth addict was another popular second career choice.
Oh my gosh. I heard the same complaints from you when we went from horse and buggy to automobiles. Where are seniors going to get this thing called gas? What if they run out of this stuff? Better keep that horse well fed and that buggy ready because these automobiles the government is trying to force us to have won’t last a year. Dreamers. Lol.
OH bullsheit
Wow, that makes you pretty darned old if you heard such complaints at the time.
McGavin999 had some perfectly good points! Stop being an ass!
Cry me a river union dudes. You endorsed this clown.
Hurricane? Grid down? Windmill broke?
Easy-peasy! Roll your own!
Go to the nearest Big-box store and buy a generator.
When you do, remember to get a dozen or so 5 gallon containers.
You’ll need them to store the gas.
If you have natural gas, a natural gas generator would be a good way to charge your EV during a power outage. It will take 70 kWh of power to charge the long range (270 miles) Tesla Model 3 battery fully. The average household electricity consumption kWh per day is 28.9 kWh. This range is less in colder weather conditions.
Also, people are thinking about charging their EV with a solar system. how many solar cells will it take to charge up 70 kWh worth of power in a Tesla battery? Can they afford the time it takes to charge up during the day light hours—just when the transportation is needed?
Gas station pumps run on electricity. When the power goes out, gas does not get pumped.

Telsa’s coming out with an EV semi truck.
“And while EVs are still relatively new to the state, there are some places in Alaska where EVs are not only growing in popularity but are proving to be an impressive asset. In Juneau, for example, there are almost 300 EV owners, and the borough has already placed an order to add an electric bus to its fleet. The Anchorage Public Transportation Department has spent the last several months testing a fully electric bus—the first such experiment in Alaska—and plans to expand its fleet with more electric vehicles in the future.”

Which well cost you 10s of thousands of dollars.💸
That’s what I want to know.🤔
EV are inferior to ICE vehicles for long road trips. ICE vehicles will never be replaced completely until there is break through in technology greatly reducing recharge times. Or the government forces them on us.
Unions are not the problem. Half of cars still made in the USA are built by NON UNION workers. The war on labor is over. Move on.
The anti union nuts would rather have forced EV technology and govt. subsidized EV’s because they hate the USA more than they love the USA.
Heavily subsidized EVs will kill the family road trip. They suck for everything other then warm climate city driving. They are long recharging toys.
