I think it's revealing that apparently as long as gas and eggs are okay, the country falling completely apart is secondary (to the voting majority).
Gas is the big one. I don't hear as much complaining about food where I am.
The whole thing is going to look fucking stupid once EVs take off. Although I bet Trump will do everything to slow that once elected (even with Musk in his ear).
You know that they can just stop EVs from taking off, right? We elected an autocrat.
They can also stop infrastructure for it from being built, and perhaps even tear down existing infrastructure. Well, aside from the ones Tesla owns of course. At least until he and Elon have their falling out
My theory is that they will institute a tax on old products so that buying new items is the same or cheaper than buying new.
