  1. The only thing green about it is the money that's going into their pockets. You are exactly right.

  2. We'll never learn. We always vote for the guy who promises us something for nothing. We all end up with nothing and it costs us everything.

  3. Too much meat protein, people might start thinking for themselves. Can't have that. Must... embrace... the new... feudalism.

  4. Nonsense. After WE no longer have cars, the privileged few can keep their gas-powered vehicles. Just pay a tax. Government profits, the wealthy don't feel it, and, like you say, all the poor are out of their way. Win-win!

  5. You're only supposed to worry about what they want you to worry about. The problems they're creating now will also have single solutions you must embrace when the time comes. All that can be said for sure is you will be less mobile, prosperous and self-reliant with each New Thing.

  6. It's the fascist economic model. Corporations love it when they're getting tax breaks and subsidies, but the politicians have no idea what they're doing. When they hijack the economy with their "good intentions," it always turns out badly. It's always just a question of time before they destroy the industries they single out. This is the nature of socialism. The government can't nationalize everything, so it singles out, say, agriculture or the automotive industry. The big companies profit, at first. They love that public-private partnership (fascism), then. Then economic realities set in, the industry goes from many companies to a few, and eventually those few go belly-up. That's when the government says "Now we REALLY have to do something," and they nationalize the industry. What does the public get? Poorer quality at higher prices. Every time.

  7. If they wanted to save the planet, they would start by beefing-up the repair side. Make sure there're parts for existing cars. Make it easier to repair existing cars. Make cars SIMPLER. Remove 90% of government regulations. They destroy competition, and keep the big automakers safe from competition, while at the same time making it more and more expensive for consumers to buy cheap, economical vehicles. Hybrids are a great idea, I think. Plug-in hybrids. Very efficient. Very practical. But you pay for so much more that you don't need and can't afford.

  8. Well known facts. Undisputed facts. But you still hate the planet if you speak against forcing everyone to drive EVs. And probably racist.

  9. 90% of history is like that. That's why the U.S. Constitution is written the way it is and why the U.S. Government has chafed at its restrictions, subverted it, and circumvented it since 1790. Eternal vigilance. USA has become the opposite of what was intended via a constant assault on its principles by the Eternal Greater-Good Crowd.

  10. 1/12 the world's population, 1/4 of the world economy, and 99% of the clueless idiots.

  11.  @regbarnard2866  Musk is changeable as the wind. He made a fortune off government subsidies. Now he wants to slam that door behind him. All the hullabaloo about Twitter being "free speech" is nonsense. You're just trading the government's opinion of outlawed speech for Elon's. Just wait for the next mass formation psychosis hoax. I bet Elon will be on board at crunch time, and do the state's bidding.

  12. Ignorance, stupidity, and greed. That's the green movement, as currently conceived.

  13. The auto industry was already failing us, with a million features nobody wanted or needed, and cars that are designed to wear out, quickly. They've put up barriers to fixing your own car. They've done everything to maximize waste of resources, pollution, and customer money. Even their "pollution reduction" regulations do nothing but make everything more expensive, and in the USA, buy a big gas guzzler instead of an efficient compact vehicle, because regulations let big vehicles guzzle, but place ridiculous miles--per-gallon restrictions on compact vehicles. Maybe the big auto makers SHOULD go down. They're obviously hand-in-glove with insane, ivory-tower politicians. I'd love to buy a vehicle that would last a lifetime and get parts for, for a lifetime. I remember helping a buddy work on his 1956 Chevy Nomad (Station-wagon version of the Bel-Air). Big, thick catalogs of "new old stuff," where you could buy any part you wanted to restore that old '56. These people do the same thing with technology. How about a phone that lasts more than 10 years? How about a refrigerator that you can actually fix, but never have to fix, because it's built to last? The people pushing us to live "green" are the ones who are pushing all the excess production in the first place. Same with software. Why can't you buy a program and be done with it? Why do you need "updates?" Truth is, you don't need updates. It's just a way for software sellers to keep milking your bank account forever, just for buying one program from them. They interrupt your work flow with their updates and after the update, the software doesn't even work as well as it did, before. "You don't need those keystrokes to save time. Make new ones!" It's like taking a roofer's favorite hammer off his belt and handing him a child's toy. "You're welcome! See what's new!" I don't WANT to see what's new. I want the thing I bought to work the same way, tomorrow, that it works, today.
