No one need a EV car anymore. Either ppl are fit enough to go anywhere without cars or just drop dead

This actually isnt a bad idea; gets fat asses off the couch AND saves the environment. Win/win, imo. Doesnt apply if you have no legs, obviously.

Yes. Pretty much how I view politicians. And here I thought you guys liked "peaceful protests"?

My definition of "asshole" is someone who lives the same way I do* but tells me I'm hurting the planet by somehow changing the climate.

* eats food, wears clothes, lives in a home w/ HVAC and indoor plumbing, breathes air (CO2 is a pollutant remember), watches TV, and types on the internet.

My definition of "Bigger Asshole" is someone who flies private but mandates I have to drive an electric car. Or someone who runs his mouth about polar bears, but lives in a house that consumes more energy in a month than the average American uses in a year.

Get it now?

If you like math, this is right up your alley. Take all the combined wealth of the US billionaires (use Forbes list if you want) and divide it by the national debt and see what number you get. (hint: it's a number less than one (1))

I couldn't agree more Efthreeoh. Very well said. We have one fit in your description like 100%. He used our tax money go on vacation with his family by flying all over the world. What does he really do to our Canadian, nothing but just keep spending money..... He definitely be the biggest Asshole

The true cost of an EV? Think tank claims subsidies for electric vehicles cost $50,000 PER CAR over a ten-year period
Federal and state subsidies have artificially driven up electric car sales
But EVs cost everyone, according to the Texas Public Policy Foundation
Ford said this month that it incurs a loss of around $36,000 on each EV it sells

More rain on EV parade.

Unreliability, depreciation, unsustainable repair costs, range worry and overall more carbon made than gas cars in build.
