It’s not Biden’s idea. It’s buttigieg’s and it’s a terrible totalitarian one.

Climate Change is like Big Foot, and the Loch Ness Monster. It doesn’t exist.

At the electric car liberals will now be taxed more. The elites won’t be happy.

Well, that’d essentially put businesses like Doordash, UberEats, Grubhub, and Postmates out of business. Nobody will want to drive for them.

As a Dasher, it’s not uncommon for me to drive 100 miles or more a day in the area I dash in...6 days a week. If Xiden and Buttplug have their way, I’d be taxed out the wazoo. Anything I make, I’d likely have to pay back to the government. No profit or anything to pay bills or buy food.

You already do with the gasoline tax but the electric car that one fits the bill

This means they will put trackers in every vehicle in America so they can be monitored.

They’ve been talking about this for years, so it isn’t Butt Gig’s idea.

The don’t just want to tax by miles driven, they also want to know when and where you drive and what you do when you get there.

Just watch. This won’t be based on odometer readings, they will use GPS transponders to implement the tracking to get the level of detail they want.

Classic car, disconnect the cable drive, drive on. Use a tach and note what speed is equal to on the tach in high gear. Of course then “they” will start tracking your fuel at the pump via scanning license plates or something. Thanks sectrans.
