    Of course the one auto manufacturer refusing to give EVs a real shot because their CEO had a personal beef with Elon (fuck Elon too that’s not a defense of him in any way) would say that.

    The same auto manufacturer that leads in donations to the Republican Party, too.

    I really wish they’d get their shit together because their cars have such a good rep and they make really good hybrids, but fuck Toyota for this.

      We cannot ever trust the things business people say. Their stock and trade is lies. Why are we letting our society be dominated by these psychos?

        My opinion? We aren’t collectively pissed off about it enough.

        88 Million Americans who were eligible to vote this year didn’t. That’s about 1/3 of all eligible voters, and almost 1/4 of the entire US population.

        People are broke, tired, busy, and don’t perceive what happens in government or corporations as a direct threat. They don’t have the time, energy or capacity to care enough to pay attention.

        This is by design, so I’m not sure what the solution is beyond get MAD and get everyone else around you to be MAD. We outnumber them, and they don’t want us to realize it.
