I'll reiterate a previous post. If any politician or "leader" tells you they are doing something for your benefit, they are lying, categorically. They wouldn't cross the street to piss on you if you were on fire. They are only in the positions they are in to personally benefit themselves. Anything they say or do is a means to an end. Apply to "green narrative" as you see fit.

I mean, that's an awfully generalized way of looking at it but, you're free to feel that way. I do think that this push is painfully premature but on the same token, I understand the need to invest into the technology. We cannot continue to rely upon carbon-based fuels indefinitely. That is just not an option. While forcing this change ahead of the infrastructure needed to support it is likely going to end up making things more painful than it should, the change should still happen but, in a more natural progression. However, since it's being forced, I don't think anyone can blame me for investing in a future that is just over the horizon.

Instead, I could help guide this transition using my money and business rather than stomp my feet and yell about how change is bad and anything I don't readily agree with is stupid. Look, we can all see the pollicization of what is happening but, it's happening whether people think it is or not. This isn't even a distinctly American "issue."

We are certainly a minority within this community. When you really stop and think about it, if you think there's something wrong with everyone who is not like you or thinks like you, then some introspection is at hand. Drive your car, enjoy every single minute with it that you can and don't give it up. No one is forcing you to buy a new car, let alone one that is electric. Now, if legislation comes through and tries to force ICE vehicles off the roads entirely, then I will be right there next to you fighting for our right to keep them.
