A day after a Tesla Semi caught fire and left Interstate 80 in a chokehold, California lawmakers are calling on Gov. Gavin Newsom to delay a state mandate for big rigs in the state to be all-electric by 2045.

Along the freeway east of Nyack in Placer County, traffic stretch on for miles as crews tried to extinguish the Tesla fire. Another issue at play was the toxic fumes being emitted from the vehicle, the California Highway Patrol said.

“..Liberals are so simple minded and reactionary… no critical thinking whatsoever. Decision making on twisted emotional urges that ebb and flow in their demented, arrogant, depraved, carnally driven brains. A perpetual train wreck....”

Whoa...wait.....what???
To hear the arrogant, vile bassitids talk, they’re the smartest brains to ever walk on planet earth.
They’re sooooo much smarter and better than everyone else. They “know” what’s best for everyone...from the toilets we crap in to the vehicles we drive.
They’re so uppity that laws and rules don’t even apply to em at all....they’re so far superior and above the “unwashed masses” (that’d be us) that their crap doesn’t even stink...not a tinge of odor. Their intellectual level is right on up there so far, that it’s superior to the God that they don’t believe in. /S
Personally, I despise the very ground their shadows happen to fall on.
They’d be doing the world a favor if they’d all just go ESAD.
Oh....and FJB and his ilk.

Mandate this, mandate that, you ever notice how the government’s relationship with the people it is ostensibly here to serve is essentially one of coercion?

Totalitarian coercion. With a couple of nice helpings of fear and intimidation.
