Comment It's not about the environment (Score 1, Interesting) 77

This isn't about coal emissions or clean anything. It's about killing the coal industry before the cryptocurrency industry can buy in to make their own electricity. As and our government does NOT want cryptocurrency. Unless it's theirs.

Oh, and our government does NOT like us citizens. None of us. Some more than others, yes, but our government is against us. You want to be in the good side of the government? Read history. Only the leadership escapes this.

Tik Tok sprung out of nowhere and killed Vine and whatever, and grew at an insane rate. Such doesn't happen in a dictatorship without funny business behind it. I don't know if it involves secret spyware, but just letting the oligarchs have a finger in the company's skyrocketing value is more than a sufficient reason to Rochambeau them.

No one should have to spend lots of time and money fighting for custody of their own child

How about in the example of an adult that impregnates a minor? (You know, the statutory rape, kind?) Is that father automatically granted 50/50 parental rights, should that minor decide to keep the child?

Various studies have been conducted around the world to determine the prevalence of gender dysphoria. A Dutch study indicated that 4.6% of 8064 study participants who were born male and 3.2% who were born female-identified themselves as ambivalent to their specific birth gender and were equally able to identify as male or female according to their internal perception of self. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, gender dysphoria prevalence accounts for 0.005–0.014% of the population for biological males and 0.002–0.003% for biological females. In both Japan and Poland, the prevalence of gender dysphoria is higher in biological females.

Actual clinical evidence.

So nice gaslight!

But to have a business you need to sell a product someone wants. Outside of a few urbanites who work in IT from home and go out infrequently there is little use for an EV for the majority of Ford's customers. Anyone who is into this EV stuff probably has already bought one. The market for BEVs is already reaching the point of saturation.

Case in point: The other day I had to drive to Daytona for work. I only have so many hours in the day to get things done. It's a 3.5 hour drive for me each way. I spent around ~5 minutes refueling at Bucee's. I didn't even have time to pop in and get a brisket sandwich. If I had an EV I would have had to wait to supercharge several times, adding tons of useless time to my trip. I do this sort of road trip frequently. Many of my friends also do similar trips. I've even done an 8 hour trip with one pee/gas break. EVs are not practical for people who do lots of driving for work rather than leisure.. And you would be surprised how many people are in that situation. Your plumber and electrician certainly are (and the drive around with heavy vans full of tools).

The reality is that EVs have been and will continue to be a niche product that very few people want.
