Every time I encounter an EV driver in a relaxed setting, suppose I spot someone walking to or from his vehicle in a parking lot, I ask, “Say, how do you like your car?” I have a least a few hundred of these one-question surveys under my belt at this point.
So far, I have three who were luke-warm, one of whom was an Avis renter who was having trouble learning the new instrument interface.
All the rest were glowing. The most common response: “It’s by far the best car I’ve ever owned.”
What to make of the meme here? To me, it’s like anything else in the world of disinformation: it’s either:
Completely fabricated by some entity with a vested interest. Hmmm. Is there an industry that stands to lose big if electric transportation gains market-share?
or
Cherry-picked. Turn on Fox “News” right now, and watch the few short minutes as required to see a person with an MD or a PhD degree tell you vaccines don’t work or that climate change is a hoax. These people do exist, but in far fewer than one in one hundred cases. But if your job is to find one, you’ll succeed eventually. At the expense of your integrity, of course.
Remarkably, there are still Americans who buy into the concept promoted at left. Most people have figured out that:
The greed of corporations and billionaires has usurped our lawmaking processes and made it extremely difficult for the working class to live any decent kind of life.
Rule of law is a joke in the United States.
The final days of free market capitalism are upon us, leaving the common American more depressed and desperate than in any past age.
As the United States continues its slide into corporatocracy and oligarchy, the concept of universal healthcare becomes ever more unlikely.
As the midterms approach, we need to brace ourselves for the onslaught of messaging from the GOP to the effect that Trump is the only force separating America from communism. This, believe it or not, is a concept warmly embraced by tens of millions of hateful idiots.
The rest of the developed world deems healthcare to be a human right, like potable water. We counter: Bull****. Corporate profitability is the supreme right here.
Yes, the MAGA crowd has a huge appetite for the type of rhetoric we see at left, but their numbers are slowing shrinking.
That said, it’s still amazing that the U.S. is home to tens of millions of idiots who believe that liberals hate our country and are trying to destroy it.
