Biden Bans 53% of Americans From Buying Cars
Front Page Mag ^ | 4/11/23 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 04/10/2023 10:38:47 PM PDT by CFW

The New York Times reported that the Biden administration will abuse EPA regulations to eliminate most real car sales by 2030. The plan is to force 67% of car sales to be electric by 2032. Most Americans won’t be able to afford them, but they’ll have no other options.

Even the cheapest electric cars, which are still far more expensive than their real car counterparts and are just one battery problem away from turning into mostly unusable junk, are out of the price range of the majority of Americans who need an income of $80,000 to make an EV auto loan work. That’s fine in Washington D.C. where the median income of $83,567 is the highest in the nation, but will entirely price much of the country out of the new car market.

53% of Americans earn less than $75,000. Some of the 16% who earn from $50,000 to $75,000 may be able to make an electric vehicle purchase work if they squeeze, cut back on food and clothes for the kids, but the remaining 37% will be completely locked out. And, unable to own a car, they’ll have even bigger monthly payments or, with no transportation, be unable to work.

You score a major point with that observation. Silence under threat of death?

Would have to do away with private property. Wouldn’t want to be the one who tries to take away some peoples land that have been owned for generations. Course there is always emanite domain.

That would take a bite out of the economy.

I am wondering if the "electric" take-over (if it actually happens) would create a jump in the amount of money people will have to spend on a "used" car that is still gas run. I think people will be looking for them.

Just bought a new RAV4 yesterday. Hoping it is the last car we buy.

ICE cars are already being totaled IF the airbags deploy. Too costly to repair.-—AND AIR BAGS are mandatory in current cars.

The ONLY bus where I live is the School bus-—and it doesn’t run all day-—not even all year.

THIS IS NOT A NEW MAP-—I found it in the 1990’s.

The Chairman of Chase banking wants PRIVATE PROPERTY to be taken by Emminent Domain for ANY “CLIMATE PROJECT”.

I have a Chase Credit Card—since 1980=42 + years. I am paying off the balance within next 2 months & switching to another card.

I recall a thread here about them. I no longer have Chase credit card. Paying off BOA next month. Two more months for Citi Card and I am done with them, except under emergency situation like appliances, or maintained repairs.

NEVER SAID IT WAS. The UN has been making many plans for a long time and are now partners with the WEF who are partners with many global corporations and the leftists in all major governments. They all want the same thing. Control over every aspect of people’s lives.

Vertical Farming, 15 minute cities, CDBCs are all being pushed.

The peons will have to walk, bike, or take the yellow electric bus to nowhere.

Don't forget the government issued skate boards.

“Damn the US is going to look like Cuba after 2030. Save those old car parts everyone.”

____

Remember the old Mad Max-Thunderdome movie where we mocked the pieced-together vehicles that everyone lucky enough to have transportation drove? That is our future transportation.

We will be just like Cuba.

Allot of old gas cars driving among the shiny new electric EVs driven by their overlord elites.

They’re turning every city into Detrot and the next generation leader Gavin Newsom will turn America into the shithole California is today.

All while the Never Trumpers undermine the only thing that can and will stop them.

The Biden administration is in bad need of a respirator.

I say it flat lines in 2024.

If those Troglodyte-like people would simply move into central cities where they can ride free scooters and free electric rail, they would have nothing to bitch about. Besides, they could live rent free in "special" apartments within walking distance of everything, get free subsidies on centralized bank cards, free medical care, free cell phones, eat free bugs food and never have to work all while saving the Planet!

If they continue to refuse sensible solutions to save the Earth perhaps we (as The Dictatorship of the Proletariat) should round them up and assist them getting priorities straight.

That is truly how they feel and they are not shy about telling you so.

Hubby and I insist on staying on our few acres in the country. We like it here and refuse to move to an “efficiency apartment” in the city. We like our old truck, our tractor, our trees, and our Muscadine vines. And when I tell people that it is seven miles to the nearest convenience store and 15 miles to the nearest major grocery store, they look at me in shock. They ask me if I’m not scared living in the country so far away from the city and everything it offers. Heck, I feel as if I’m still too close to the city!

Out of control government is out of control.

That's what 63,000,000+ dead-before-birth future Americans have been saying for 50 years.

I thought that smart people believed in Evolution.

Can’t they just let things alone to adapt or die?
