Starting in 1982, I wrote code in several languages for a wide-ranging set of applications over the course of my career. Programming code, while creative, can become tedious and brain-intensive, so I would spend weekends in my workshop building furniture. A lasting souvenir of that time is the missing upper pad on the thumb on my left hand. Push sticks with table saws are a common-sense practice that I was neglectful of just the one time.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are fundamentally coded-computers on wheels. If you have ever encountered issues, problems, or difficulties with a computer, you know that EVs can come with troubles. According to Consumer Reports, EVs have almost 80% more problems than gas-powered vehicles. JD Power's 2024 U.S. Initial Quality Study found that EVs averaged 266 problems per 100 vehicles, about 48% more than gas and diesel-powered vehicles.
Other issues include, but are not limited to:
Limited range;
Availability of charging stations;
Lengthy charging times;
Higher prices;
Battery degradation;
Limited selection; and,
Finding Qualified EV mechanics.
BYD Auto Company, a large Chinese conglomerate, is the world's largest manufacturer of electric vehicles. In 2024, they produced 1,777,965 EVs, just slightly surpassing Tesla's production of 1,774,442 EVs for the same year. BYD has no plans to sell EVs in the United States due to the complexities of the competitive American market and conflicting and contradictory political issues.
Despite their fondness for EVs the progressive climate change peddlers detest Tesla’s largest stockholder Elon Musk. While Musk has only 12.9% of stock, the Tesla ownership is structured in a manner to allow Musk to maintain substantial control of the company. Musk’s alliance with US President Donald Trump and his directorship at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have made him a ‘key’ enemy of the left.
A fanatical leftist display of elitist authoritarianism as linked in Gateway Pundit article entitled is, “Reduce the Need for Personal Vehicles”: Top Massachusetts Democrat Wants to Limit How Many Miles Residents Can Drive or Drive at All, Because ‘Climate Change” with the subtitle reading, “Massachusetts Senate Majority Leader Cynthia Stone Creem (D) introduced a bill this year to create a commission with the goal of reducing the number of miles driven by residents in their cars because of ‘climate change’, with an ultimate goal to “reduce the need for personal vehicles.”
Excerpts from her Massachusetts Senate Bill S. 2246, called "An Act Aligning The Commonwealth's Transportation Plans With Its Mandates and Goals For Reducing Emissions and Vehicle Miles Traveled” are covered in the article. The bill not only reduces allowed miles on a personal vehicle, but also orders infrastructure mandates and enhancements for walking paths; bicycle paths and lanes; bicycle sharing stations; pedestrian pathways; bus, ferry, subway, and train services.
In similar actions, C40 an organization that is self-described as, “ . . . a global network of nearly 100 mayors of the world’s leading cities that are united in action to confront the climate crisis. The C40 eco-fascist commandments include:
Cut new clothing purchases by 2050 by 66%;
Cut meat and all dairy products by 60%. In another graph, the ambitious target is to totally eliminate meat and dairy by 2050;
Reduce flights by 55%. Their ambitious target is one single short-haul flight every 3 years per person;
While mayors cannot fix potholes, or maintain clean parks, or a stable police force, they demand improved construction materials by 44% humanity;
Demand reducing car ownership by 39% - they want everyone to take public transit, thereby, in places like New York, you could ride the subway and get murdered; and,
Demand, again, not being technical engineers, that IT equipment and other appliances last 33% longer.
I cover the fascist C40 organization in an article entitled, “See Red When You C40”.
All of these collectivist ideals are also captured in the World Economic Forum’s “You’ll Own Nothing and You’ll Be Happy” video and the mantra in their annual Davos meetings.
These leftist immoral values that eliminate individual freedoms and bring together a communistic exploitation of humanity are the veritable reasons for the political continuance of the deception of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming (CAGW).
This, while the youngins below, thinking climate change is a genuine scientific issue, have bought into the scam.
That's very scary and rediculious at the same time! Good luck with that I say!
