I just read it. EV? Who the hell can afford that? They are also dangerous as hell as every mechanic knows. Accident, car freezes up, can't be towed, it is LOCKED and if you are in it, heh. Screwed. They can easily blow up, too. Battery dies and it costs THOUSANDS to replace it. Run out of electricity middle of nowhere you can't just walk to a station to get something to fill it. In this case, hybrids are better. What goes into making them comes from child labor in Africa.

I wish the US would just build a good old fashioned car, gas. I have a 1991 Dodge Spirit with over 1 mil miles on it and it's GOOD. I would NOT want a car with all that computer crap in it. My car has automatic windows and I regret that because they can't be replaced. They are the only thing on the old car that's iffy. I'd rather have a regular old fashioned crank it up window. What one might call an austere car. No bells, no whistles. Open doors and start car with a KEY. That is what we need, not this pseudo green garbage. People can hardly afford rent if they need tires and they are supposed to buy an EV? This green lunacy has to stop.

He really isn't bsing. China has factories and gets stuff done. I see Americans even where I am living paycheck to paycheck and working hard. People go to ATM to deposit and usually just leave the receipts there. They don't even have 1000 in the bank! We are way way better off than that, but most Americans are not. We also own home.

I live in the US in case you didn't catch that from what I said. US is not doing much except BLOCKING MORE ABILITY TO GET GAS.
