Colossally Stupid or Evil Beyond Articulation or Both

Excerpt:
"Private jets are neat. They are something most of us would love to have. But most of us can’t afford one, so we fly commercial – assuming we can endure that.

Fewer people can afford a private jet right now – or for that matter, a ticket on a commercial airplane – precisely because of the economic catastrophe created by the very regime that is pushing electric cars as hard as it is pushing drugs.

The entry-level electric car that cost $40,000 last year costs substantially more this year even if its sticker price hasn’t changed because the cost of everything else has increased by roughly 20 percent over the course of this year. Very few people are making 20 percent more to make up for it. Rough math, they therefore have about 20 percent less in the way of spending power, courtesy of the very regime that is pushing everyone to pay twice as much for their next car, the mandated electric car."

    I worked for an Executive V.P. for nine years and I only knew him to ride on the company planes once when I dispatched one to pick up him and a friend who'd lost a son and they had driven a long way from Houston to try to recover his body. I felt they were stressed enough without needing to drive back. I sent a youngster along to drive his car back home. But when he flew on the airlines he always sat in 'Tourist' not 'First Class'.

    I can drive from my home to San Antonio (200 miles) without a refill until I'm ready to come back home. I don't think I'd like stopping for 45 minutes to charge up my vehicle. Sometimes I'm cutting my time too short for that.

    My son-in-law bought a Tesla. (He didn't bother to ask my opinion, not that it matters) Every story I hear about it makes me very sure I don't want one. We live about five minutes from them. A trip to the beach that I did on less than a tank of gas, they stopped for three 45-minute charges.

    I liked this candor and truth ...Workers weren’t being thrown out of work for refusing to become voodoo dolls to be stuck with pins by their employers, who’ve become the willing helpers of the pharmaceutical cartels that seized control of the regime, which they helped to “elect.”
