The backstory is so transparently corrupt it requires an explanation, so we’ll go down the full rabbit hole and explain how China knew – to a demonstrable certainty – their multi-billion dollar investment in Mexican EV plants would be useful.
Always remember, there are trillions at stake.
First, who was installed in the Biden White House in charge of all personnel and staffing? Catherine Russell. {SEE HERE} Who is Catherine Russell? She’s the wife of Tom Donilon, a long-time aid and advisor to Joe Biden who served in the Obama White House.
After serving as Obama’s National Security Advisor (prior to Susan Rice), Tom Donilon then went on to become “Chairman of the BlackRock Investment Institute {SEE HERE}.” His job was literally to “leverage the firm’s expertise and generate proprietary research to provide insights on the global economy, markets, geopolitics and long-term asset allocation.”
In essence, the Donilon family represented the interests of Blackrock in the White House.
Second, Tom Donilon’s brother, Mike Donilon is a Senior Advisor to Joe Biden {link} providing guidance on what policies should be implemented within the administration. Mike Donilon guides the focus of spending, budgets, regulation and white house policy from his position of Senior Advisor to the President.
In June of 2022, Blackrock’s Tom Donilon was then appointed to be co-chair of U.S. Department of State’s Foreign Affairs Policy Board {SEE HERE}, in charge of U.S-China policy. Can you see where this is going?
Blackrock, a massive multinational investment firm with assets in the tens-of-trillions, was essentially guiding/constructing the policymaking of the White House, through Tom Donilon, Mike Donilon and Catherine Russell (Tom’s wife). Blackrock then took out massive investment stakes in China, including in the Chinese auto-making industry, with specific focus on EVs. Tom Donilon, now shifting to the State Dept and guiding US-China policy, was the Blackrock government embed, ensuring policy that would keep their investments lucrative.
Next up, in late 2023 the Chinese auto firms carrying the Blackrock investment money, then made big announcements. “BUSINESS INSIDER – Three major Chinese EV companies are planning to build new factories in Mexico, sparking concern among US officials, according to a new report. MG, BYD, and Chery are all looking at sites to build new factories in the country, according to unnamed sources cited by The Financial Times, and this investment is causing angst in Washington.”
The total investment in Mexican auto plants, specifically to build Electric Vehicles (EVs) for the USA market, exceeds $5 billion. A very big investment considering that EV sales in the U.S. were not going so well.
So, think about it, what did Blackrock know about the USA EV market: (a) that defied current market conditions; and (b) that would support such a move by the Chinese auto manufacturers they financially supported?
Today, we get the answer:
(Politico) – The Biden administration is unleashing a flurry of regulatory actions that aims to shift the nation toward electric vehicles — with the biggest rule coming Wednesday to set strict limits on climate pollution from passenger cars.
The regulation being announced by EPA Administrator Michael Regan, as POLITICO’s E&E News reported last week, would slash greenhouse gases from cars and light trucks in half, while pushing to have electric vehicles make up about two-thirds of new passenger vehicle sales by 2032. (read more)
As noted in a second Politico article:
The final version of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Cars rule is the strictest federal climate regulation ever issued for passenger cars and trucks — even though it offers manufacturers a slightly slower phase-in of pollution limits than the EPA had first proposed last spring.
The agency estimated a year ago that the rule could lead to two-thirds of new cars and passenger trucks being electric in 2032. Wednesday’s version says automakers could build a mix of vehicles to comply with the rule, including fully battery-powered vehicles, plug-in hybrids that run on electricity and gasoline, and more efficient conventional engines.
EPA Administrator Michael Regan’s official rolled out the rule on Wednesday at a Washington event attended by carmakers, environmentalists and other groups.
President Joe Biden said the rule fulfills his promise to cut the nation’s carbon pollution in half by the end of the decade while promoting American workers. “Together, we’ve made historic progress. Hundreds of new expanded factories across the country. Hundreds of billions in private investment and thousands of good-paying union jobs,” Biden said in a statement. (read more)
Biden is a blithering idiot, a pretense, a false target. Biden reads what people tell him to read; he’s not the origin of the feces he spouts. Silver Spoon, “lunch bucket” Biden has no clue, and his Blackrock handlers keep him that way. Biden can tell the U.S. auto manufacturers anything; he has [¹]no clue what the actual policy being constructed is all about. The Biden family will be paid handsomely, either by the Blackrock group or by the Chinese -as is the background record.
So, let’s encapsulate things so far. (1) The interests of Blackrock determined the White House key staff and policy makers. (2) The Donilon clan represented those Blackrock interests and worked inside both the White House and State Dept to create and maintain policy favorable to Blackrock’s Chinese EV position. (3) China/Blackrock invest massively in Mexican EV production. (4) White House/EPA generate policy to support the Blackrock investment.
That’s how the three Chinese auto firms could be so sure of their decision in 2023 to invest in the Mexican Blackrock EV plan. The one that President Donald Trump rightly says will create a “bloodbath” in the U.S auto industry.
It is not the politicians; they are functionaries.
What I am saying directly is that Blackrock is the origin of the policy, and Blackrock is the beneficiary of the policy.
This is what I mean when I keep saying, “there are trillions at stake,” and “it’s not the politicians we should be looking at.”
In 2008, it was the SEIU who were the foot soldiers for Barack Obama. In 2009, SEIU President Andy Stern was the #1 visitor to the White House. The SEIU needed to get rid of the healthcare liability inside their pension plan because the union was about to go broke. That’s the origin of Obamacare. In 2024 Biden is manipulating the UAW leadership into the same position, looking for election help.
But wait, it gets worse…
Blackrock is in control of policy. Now look at where Blackrock investment has been pre-deployed, and that’s where you see Biden policy coming into play. Blackrock and JPMorgan set up the Ukraine reconstruction bank {SEE HERE}. That’s the core of the Ukraine issue. It’s not ideological, it’s financial. Follow the money.
But wait, it gets even worse….
Have you followed my research on the Russian sanctions?
2022 – NEW YORK, March 24 (Reuters) – BlackRock Inc’s (BLK.N) chief executive, Larry Fink, said on Thursday that the Russia-Ukraine war could end up accelerating digital currencies as a tool to settle international transactions, as the conflict upends the globalization drive of the last three decades.
In a letter to the shareholders of the world’s largest asset manager, Fink said the war will push countries to reassess currency dependencies, and that BlackRock was studying digital currencies and stablecoins due to increased client interest.
“A global digital payment system, thoughtfully designed, can enhance the settlement of international transactions while reducing the risk of money laundering and corruption”, he said.
[…] In the letter on Thursday, the chairman and CEO of the $10 trillion asset manager said the Russia-Ukraine crisis had put an end to the globalization forces at work over the past 30 years.
[…] “While companies’ and consumers’ balance sheets are strong today, giving them more of a cushion to weather these difficulties, a large-scale reorientation of supply chains will inherently be inflationary,” said Fink.
He said central banks were dealing with a dilemma they had not faced in decades, having to choose between living with high inflation or slowing economic activity to contain price pressures. (read more)
Now do you see the source, origin and beneficiary of the global cleaving?
The U.S. government didn’t construct the Russian sanctions, Blackrock did!
Blackrock lays the foundation for the Dollar-Based U.S. Digital Currency (USCBDC) with the construction of Russian sanction policy. How is that US-CBDC process facilitated in real terms? With the five big US banks controlling the flow of the digital funding mechanism.
RELATIONSHIPS – Larry Fink (Blackrock) and Jamie Dimon (JPMorgan) created the Ukraine Reconstruction Bank. Now, there are only two real threats to the creation of a US-CBDC as it currently appears. Threat #1 is Donald Trump. Threat #2 is the way people would work around the dollar based CBDC, unregulated crypto currency.
Who opposes crypto currency?
“I’ve always been deeply opposed to crypto, bitcoin, etc.,” Dimon said in response to a question from Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. “The only true use case for it is criminals, drug traffickers … money laundering, tax avoidance because it is somewhat anonymous, not fully, and because you can move money instantaneously. “If I was the government, I would close it down.” (read more)
Can you see it now?
I’ll have much more on this issue soon, but its critical people start to understand what is going on.
We will win this battle and eventually this war, or I’ll die fighting it.
They are trying to move fast, because people are catching on now.
We are on the right side of every issue; we cherish liberty and individual freedom. Our opposition is built upon a foundation of fraud and lies. The politicians are corrupt, and their arguments collapse when put in the sunlight; but they are not the root of the problem. [²] They are vessels. That’s why the multinationals like Blackrock need the rules and referees (politicians) slanted in their favor. That’s why they need censorship, deplatforming, and beyond everything else…. they must control information.

[¹] [²] Now do you see why they built him a stage..
I read where the price for insurance on any vehicles without the new “kill” switch will go up until normal people can’t afford insurance for their older vehicles. Combine that with excessive gas prices and more and more people will bend to getting EV’s.
Or choose to live in the 15 minute cities they are wanting to place us in.
They really are some scheming scumbags aren’t they? If only they used some of that effort into actually making the world a better place. Smh, it’s just not in their DNA.
Is that full coverage, with Comp. &Collision, or is that for just the legally required minimum insurance, I wonder.
I only carry the legally required; I drive BIG, SLOW trucks, with excellent visibility, and people SEE me.
My odds of getting in an accident are miniscule, odds I would be hurt additional degree of miniscule.
But then, I made ONE payment for my trucks,…when I bought them.
No financing meant no requirement that I carry full coverage.
Insurance rates are set by blue book value, which is based on YEAR. My trucks are both over 20, so I pay about the same to Insure them for a year, as many with newer, financed vehicles with concomittant full coverage are paying, per month.
Its NOT about mpg. Its about $ per month that you spend for transportation.
More people will probably drive without insurance like they do in Miami and Broward County.
Quick math: Using a “High voltage fast charger” to refuel an EV takes approximately 15 to 20 times as long to add half as many miles of driving range compared to gassing up a normal vehicle. So they will need at minimum 30 Times as many charging stations as there are currently gas pumps to supply the same number of miles driven. Think about how many gas stations there are, each with 8 or 12 or 16 or more pumps. Multiply that by 30! Think about how much real-estate, road frontage, electrical infrastructure, charging equipment, maintenance, etc. it would take. It is simply not feasible.
“But most people will charge at home overnight” the greenies say. OK then you need chargers in a 1:1 ratio for every electric car, plus a whole lot of public chargers so you can travel beyond just the local radius around your house. Most families have multiple cars. That means a typical family home would need multiple charger hookups and a massive electrical service upgrade to charge them all simultaneously (unless you want to wake up at 1AM and swap the charger from car to car.)
The electric grid cannot handle the load. The roads cannot handle the massive weight of EVs and their huge heavy batteries. The highway maintenance funds cannot handle the loss of revenue from gasoline taxes. The batteries cannot handle extremes of heat or cold or wet. The entire concept is a farce.
And yet, here we are.
The highway maintenance funds cannot handle the loss of revenue from gasoline taxes.
Congress will implement a charging tax.
On top of the cost of electricity for your home.
“Farce” that is why they designed it the way they did.
The entire point of electric vehicles is to remove mobility from the population. That is the point. Once that is understood, lack of facilities and support are seen as the feature they intend, not the problem we ascertain.
Agree.
The plan is not to have all owners swap over to electric vehicles.
The plan is to get most folks to not own a personal vehicle.
The entire point of EVs is to be completely self-sufficient and not reliant upon massive infrastructure (drilling, pumping, shipping, piping, pumping again, cracking, distilling, pumping, driving, pumping again) to fuel automobiles. EVs need far less support infrastructure and are vastly more efficient. And you can fuel them completely off-grid needing no one if you want to do so. You can’t do that in any internal combustion engine vehicle.
If the grid goes down, there’s no more fuel for your vehicle. An EV can still be refueled at home even when the grid is completely down if you have solar.
And the sun is out. Or the wind is blowing. And if the grid is down it’s probably because too many chargers are sucking on it.
Philander, I have some prime Wyoming oceanfront property I’d like to sell you.
I’d love to buy it.
With other people’s money, no doubt.
Uh, we’re full in Wyoming, send it to New Mexico.
Was born in WY, grew up in WY, and still have many family members in WY. I know you’re not full, and you’ll definitely be dealing with me there. I guarantee it.
You’re either a troll or an idiot. Or both.
I’ve been on the Tree House since 2013, although not with this particular account. But don’t worry. That projection looks good on you.
I really feel sorry for you if that is what you truly believe.
Why?
Actually, in a mad max scenario, you CAN make your own fuel for ICE vehicles; everything you see, all around you thatsxmade out of PLASTIC, is a solid form if refined petroleum.
Heat it in an oxygen free environment, and you can extract of kerosene/diesel, gasoline, and propane/butane.
Evs need just as much infrastructure, its just different; instead of oilwellsand refineries, its hydroelectric dams, nuclear and NG powerplants, and the grid infrastructure.
The assertion EVS are vastly more efficient is so ludicrous, I won’teven botheras so many others have refuted that..and nobody has the solar panels on their house roof, charging their EV.
Its solar panels, grid tied, and plug into grid to charge.
And, grid tied systems, if the grid goes down don’t work; you can’t use the electricity your “pays for itself” system produces, during a power outage.
It’s very simple to set up an off-grid system. I have one. An average handyman can do it with the all-in-one packages offered these days.
Yep.
All the talking points against EVs are based on info that is at least a decade out of date, if not more.
What?
Did you guys change the properties of electricity the last 10 years or something?
I must have missed that.
Your slimy academic condescension drips off and puddles around you.
Wyoming. You must be one of those Jackson Hole, Telluride rejects. Sound like one anyway.
No one, I mean literally, no one, is buying the hope and chains you are peddling once again.
The proof is in the sales numbers.
The proof is in the sales numbers? You mean how Tesla has the best selling model of vehicle in the entire world, dethroning the Toyota Corolla and RAV4? Or how they sold 1.8 million vehicles last year?
That proof in those numbers?
Yeah, I agree. Good point. Thanks for supporting me.
“Honey is the wind blowing, is the sun shining, can I drive to the grocery store?
The simple laws of physics are that whenever you convert energy there is a loss period. Most of our energy comes from oil, gas and coal NOT solar or wind. Any idea of the infrastructure required for solar and wind to replace even a significant amount of the daily energy a developed nation uses? How much land?
Our current and foreseeable status is oil/gas or decreasingly coal must be burned and converted to electrical energy then transmitted (at transmission loss) then converted back by an EV from stored (another loss) to motion.
How much of the earth do you want to rape to produce EV’s ? There isn’t enough copper and metals used by EV’s available ON THIS EARTH to produce significant numbers of EV’s.
You’re an idiot.
Wow, seek mental help.
Brainiac, if the grid goes down, there ain’t any electricity to charge your EV with.
However, I can take a submersible pump, run a generator, and pull gas from the underground tanks at ANY gas station.
After you’ve killed all the folks who have already set up at the station and claimed it as “their turf” and want to “tax” you for the privilege of pumping from “their” tanks, no doubt.
And since everyone else will be pumping from the same tanks, and they are empty in two days, and won’t be refilled, then what do you do?
If the grid goes down…
If you have solar…
If the sun is shining…
If it’s not freezing outside…
If your power reserves are not dedicated to heating/cooling your residence…
If a frog had wings…
Trust God. Fear not.
You sir, are delusional, or a troll, or a delusional troll.
Babylon Bee is hiring, if you’re interested.

If you aren’t charging an EV at home overnight, you’re doing it wrong. There is no use case where public chargers are ever “the norm.” They are only for long-distance trips, so you don’t need 1:1 chargers to EVs.
Home chargers are very inexpensive. Less than $500, and if you need a new 240v NEMA plug installed, add another chunk, but still less than a thousand dollars.
EVs recharge over night at the lowest utilization of the grid. If you’re draining the battery to zero every day (driving ~300 miles every day) it is going to draw at around 11 kW. That is a large draw, no doubt about it. However, if you’re not driving the full range of the vehicle every day, it is going to be less. A LOT less. And even at max draw, it is like running your washing machine, your dryer, your microwave, and your AC simultaneously. It isn’t exactly earth-shattering.
If you’re not driving 300 miles every day, your draw is going to be much less. Probably less than most other appliances in your house. A Model 3 driven 10k miles per year is generally going to use less electricity than your water heater does over the same time.
And, since we’re charging it overnight, the grid can handle all of it just fine. It even helps with electricity prices. Electrical generation plants can’t be spun up and spun down quickly, and they can’t generate electricity that isn’t being used somewhere. This is why so many locations have higher “peak” costs during certain parts of the day, as they have to add additional capacity “peaker plants” to meet the demand, but they can’t produce at that demand level all of the time.
Smoothing out that demand curve with EVs charging overnight will raise the floor of the grid demand, allowing for better round-the-clock generation and fewer peaker plants needed as they can keep existing plants spun up, and this may actually LOWER electricity prices.
In AZ, where I am, with outrageously expensive electric rates, I calculated out the usage and rates and determined it would cost me $154 dollars per year to drive a Tesla Model 3 10k miles. That’s it. Ten thousand miles for $150.
The electric grid can absolutely handle the load. Recharging at home is not demanding and not expensive. Mass adoption of EVs may help lower utility rates. And EVs lose ~20-25% of range in extreme cold. Internal combustion engines lose ~15% of fuel economy in extreme cold. It isn’t that much different.
Most of what people think or know about EVs is simply incorrect. But there is absolutely no scenario where trying to fuel an EV like you would a conventional car makes sense. A 15-minute recharge every 3 hours of driving may not be ideal, but it also isn’t that much different than a gas station stop with a restroom break on a cross-country road trip once or twice a year. But renting an EV on a business trip doesn’t make any sense at all.
Most of what people think or know about EVs is simply incorrect.
Thank Goodness the Masters of the Universe sent you to set us straight.
You have any factual errors to point out in what I commented?
“You have any factual errors to point out in what I commented?”
Philanderer is “sealioning”, see
https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/friday-funnies-another-day-in-paradise
We could spend endless time pointing out the inaccuracies (including intentional distortions) and omissions in what Philanderer says, but it is a waste of time, Philanderer would respond with more and more, ad infinitum.
That is a well-known tactic of Liberal skidmarks like the one above.
No, no sealioning, but I’m glad you fine folk are finally learning some onling terminology.
There’s no debate here. I’m not asking questions. I’m simply relaying actual facts and actual math. I don’t really care whether or not you hate EVs or don’t want EVs. It doesn’t affect me at all.
Some folks here on the Tree House are interested in actual facts, and are always seeking the TRUTH.
But you do you. Keep posting all the false and non-sensical, hysterical talking points you want. It isn’t my blog.
Sure. A clarification, at least.
“,..electricity plants can’t generate electricity that isn’t being used, someplace.”
True. I also am in Az. in a rural area. One of the electric companies in my area, servicing a large area, does not generate ANY electricity.
They just buy the ‘extra’ unused electricity from OTHER electric companies,..that DO actually generate it.
Seems self-evident, if every house has 2-3 EVs, charging, even if most are overnight, thats going to put a lot more demand on an already very taxed electric generation system
and panelsand windmills are not going to supply the difference.
Not everyone spends every night at home, drives 50miles to work, works in an office all day, and drives home.
Absolutely. Electricity is secondary energy and needs to be made with primary energy
I have one. Who do you think you are? Fact: Your not going to TELL people what they should do! What car to buy or how to wire their house. Do what you want and STOP pushing this BS EV on people that have their own rights to choose how they want to live! You’re not convincing me, that’s for sure. I love my AMERICAN MADE CAR that runs PERFECTLY!
Oh, pardon me. I didn’t realize I told anyone WHAT to do. I merely shared actual facts on EVs and how they work.
Damn right I WANT an EV. The S is going to HTF, and EVs are the PERFECT prepping vehicle. The conservative case for EVs is the strongest out there. It is really, really sad watching fellow conservatives spread the same silly, false “talking points” over and over online while lacking all understanding of reality and the actual use cases for EVs.
Yes. The very best thing about EVs is…. The Government can shut them down with a click of a mouse.
yes indeed..That makes them the Ideal “Preppers” vehicle. LOL
Yes. Just exactly like they can with all vehicles sold today, and sold for the last several years. That isn’t exclusive to EVs.
You sure do not live in Phoenix,where it gets to be 115 to a 120 and you are using battery energy to run the AC, same thing in a cold climate, battery energy to heat the car. Now tell me what runs all those power plants,gas or coal. You also forgot to mention the price of that Telsa. Now where is you energy going to come from,no power plants ,just sun and wind[ windmills have to be started by an outside energy source],neither can handle the instant up and downs. How many clowns can we get in a Telsa?
You are correct. I don’t live in Phoenix. I live in a location where it is, on average, 5°F HOTTER than PHX year round.
And you clearly haven’t done the math on the actual power draw the AC in a Tesla actually uses. Drivers here get MORE range than the estimates Tesla lists for their vehicles.
> Now tell me what runs all those power plants,gas or coal.
I literally don’t what the power plants are burning. We should be striving to raise the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere by at 300% of current level. Global warming is bunk, climate change is technically true but as understood by the libs also bunk. CO2 is plant food, and everyone is going to need to be able to grow all their food in their back yards soon. High levels of CO2 make that possible.
> You also forgot to mention the price of that Telsa.
I’ve forgotten nothing. They aren’t much more expensive than comparable automobiles now, and certainly far less expensive than food or housing at this point. But regardless, the price doesn’t matter much if the choice is between having a vehicle that is powered by your own solar on your house, and one that is powered by gasoline that you can no longer get because the infrastructure to get it no longer exists.
You also forgot to mention the price of that Telsa.
Tesla can shut down your fancy car with a click of a mouse. All your solar panels cant prevent that.
An EMP event will also leave you stranded.
I will waive as i drive by in my mechanical Diesel
However i do agree with you that the Earth is Co2 starved. Co2 needs to be raised to higher levels.
if so there would be no global food shortage.
No. That’s it. Just NO.
I don’t want to drive a toaster. I want to drive what the f**k I decide to drive. Your commie friends will not force me into anything else.
You got that right! My car, My life, My job, My money! It’s paid for and this administration made sure I couldn’t afford a new car! Some people have their noses so high up in the air they don’t realize NOT EVERYBODY wants political corruption changing/dictating their life!
“And even at max draw, it is like running your washing machine, your dryer, your microwave, and your AC simultaneously. It isn’t exactly earth-shattering.”
Well, 11kW @ 240VAC works out to around 45 amps. So you need 8 gauge copper wire for that circuit. Not earth shattering, but still. BTW, I think a few people live in condos or apartments and aren’t going to have access to that over-night charge. Here due to high housing costs, you have many folks doubled and tripled up in SF, town house, and condos. Typical code requires two on-site parking spots, so where typical living arrangement has 4 or so cars, many are parked on the street at night.
that is an excellent point
Max draw is about 32 amps. Even less than what you’re calculating for.
And that is WORST CASE scenario. It will almost never be the case for anyone. Very few people drive more than 150 miles per day, and most drive less than 100 miles per day. The vast majority drive ~50 miles per day.
Which means you absolutely can recharge fully overnight even on shitty apartment wiring.
And if you are relying on street parking, then you SHOULD NOT have an EV. There is no use case where that makes sense. But if you’re relying on a 0% use case to say that NO ONE SHOULD EVER HAVE ONE, EVER, you’ve already lost the argument.
When cars are clustered together charging. All you need is a modern “Siphon Hose” (cord and adapters) and you can steal all the free charges you want.
Charging cars over nite in public parking lots, apartments, and on the street will be almost impossible without high security to prevent theft.
Only the rich bots like “Phill” who have secure garages in gated communities, can own and charge them.
you have neglected an important point
the “cheap” charge is the carrot
and for the 40% of the population that lives in rental housing….what then Einstein?
REQUIRE landlords to provide “free” solar power?
Oh now, bugsdaddy… I’m sure that landlords would make the upgrades without increasing the rent to cover the cost of the solar panels. (Suuuuure… wink, nudge)
Also, there isn’t enough roof area in high-rise apartments/condos to install enough solar panels to supply the needed electricity. Besides that, the roof on such buildings may be shaded by a taller building or may not allow for panels to be installed for optimal sun exposure.
No problem, though. Just use magical thinking to get past those pesky details.
That is the real rub.
Rentals get grid electricity like everyone else, and on straight grid useage it still isn’t a problem. Guaranteed less than $300 per year to charge your EV for 99%+ of drivers, and still able to charge overnight on existing electrical setup in apartments and townhomes, as long as they have a place for the charger to be installed.
“EVs lose ~20-25% of range in extreme cold. Internal combustion engines lose ~15% of fuel economy in extreme cold. It isn’t that much different.”
Beg to differ. If you run out of gas when the wind chill is twenty below, you go to the next station, shiver for five minutes while you fill the tank, and go on your merry way. When your EV charge runs down in extreme cold, the chargers don’t work and you freeze to death.
Hertz car rental has 100,000 EV to sell as no one will rent them. Good luck
Correct. You didn’t read anything I wrote.
An EV should never, ever be a rental. Never. There is no use case where that makes sense. EVs only make sense when you can charge at home, which is something that the vast majority (80%+) of this country CAN do.
Not sure where you get 80%+ from. To start off, home ownership peaked at 65% in 2005, and has been declining since…and it’s not a given that you’ll automatically be able to charge a car if you have a home.
Home ownership isn’t required. Lots of people rent houses, which also work just fine, as does any car port, driveway, or even assigned parking in apartment complexes. The only place you really can’t do an EV charger is literal public street parking.
Congratulations, you have ridiculously cheap electricity, where you live, but don’t forget to put money aside to buy a new battery in ten years, if you can get one. It’s probably gone out of production then. An EV loses value so fast, it’s best not to think about it.
We have ridiculously expensive energy here. Ridiculously expensive energy. I think peak rates are more than 24 cents per KWHr. But there are also off-peak incentives.
Even at a flat rate of 12 cents per KWHr without off-peak incentives, the math looks like this:
10k miles/yr / 4 miles/kw = 2500 kW/yr.
2500 kW/yr * $0.12/kW = $300/yr
That’s it. A years’ worth of driving for $300, with no oil changes, no constant maintenance outside of tire rotation and new wiper blades.
As far as new batteries, Tesla currently warrantees their batteries for 8 years or 120k miles, with the battery capacity at a minimum of 70% of new at that time.
Yet real-world tests are demonstrating a vastly superior battery life. After 100k miles, users are reporting less than a 10% loss of battery life. Tesloop took an older, less capable battery on a 2016 model for 300K miles using only DC fast charging, which is hardest on the battery life. After 300k miles it had lost just 12.6% of battery retention.
That’s the equivalent of a 30-year-old Honda Civic losing less than 4 mpg fuel economy. It is unheard of.
So no, unless there’s catastrophic damage to the battery, a single battery on a Tesla will likely outlast two full engine and drive-train replacements on a similar ICE vehicle. Battery replacements are expensive, just as if you had to replace the entire engine and drive train on a vehicle, but they last far, far, far longer.
And just to forestall the next point about the safety of battery fires, real-world data shows that Teslas catch of fire 37x (that’s 3700%) LESS FREQUENTLY than do ICE vehicles. And ICE vehicles don’t catch fire very often.
They never think about results or consequences.
They don’t intend or desire for the peasants to have cars. You will own nothing and like it.
The plan is we won’t be able to travel by car, train, or plane. All three are being hijacked by making it dangerous, expensive, and overly regulated. The same thing via the insurance industry is happening to real estate.
You don’t need to drive a car
And you don’t need a house
And you don’t need a guiding star
When living like a mouse
In the presidenttial suite
They’d rather see you burn
Ducking and diving just to make ends meet
To the point of no return
~ G. Lake, C. Palmer, K. Emerson
Go into any major city. What lines both sides of every street. Of course it’s gas-powered cars. Where do you imagine they will charge if converted to EV’s?
These are valid points about the logistics to support all this but that isn’t a concern for whomevers control set that this really is about. It’s the same control set for a potential CBDC. Eventually. if we, the theoretical owners of the government, allow it, one can see more and more controls exerted but that will ultimately depend on the entities that pay for this (whose monied ox might be gored) or how far we all are willing to go to stop it all.

Saudi Aramco CEO says energy transition is failing, world should abandon ‘fantasy’ of phasing out oil
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/18/saudi-aramco-ceo-says-energy-transition-is-failing-give-up-fantasy-of-phasing-out-oil.html
But that 4% is responsible for the death of 98% of birds
Including our Bald eagle
I printed DJT’s remarks on windmills and how they kill birds. Someone reformatted it as a poem. I posted on the inside of a cabinet door in my classroom. Daily when I open the cabinet there is my secret nod to my president. His wit and accuracy on this climate change bs renews my hope and makes me smile.

Help us Mike… They said you were Christian or something.

Screw the globalists
Push it all you want. We’re not buying one.
“The U.S. government didn’t construct the Russian sanctions, Blackrock did! “
Well, I’m confused. On the one hand, we have WEF Globalists apparently aiming at a borderless World Tyranny. On the other hand we have WEF Corporatists driving a wedge between the Anglophone West and the BRICS, dividing the world in twain. Are these the same WEF oligarchs? How are these aims reconciled? What am I missing?
The CEO of Blackrock is on the Board of Directors of the WEF.
Yes, but who are the players above, Fink, Doolin and Dimon?
That was the point. There aren’t any players above Fink, Donilon, and Dimon
They are running the country.
I swear I watched Dimon recently interviewed regarding Trump where he was complimentary. Of course, my thinking was -uh-huh….
Along with the Chinese, who own many of the political class.
“They are running the country.”
You mis-spelled ruining..
The heads of the families that own the majority of shares in the three largest asset management firms in the world.
Old money and power.
Fink, Doolin and Dimon are transients.

If we could just get more 👀👀👀 👀👀 to see it.
Ah, so Blackrock is the Financial arm of WEF,…or is WEF the PR firm for Blackrock?
Both. And they both support the aims of their masters – the City.
That went over the heads of about 98% of the readers here.
Probably.
But time, effort and patience will conquer, hopefully.
That doesn’t answer the question: How are the seemingly contradictory aims reconciled?
This is concise. Excellent and palatable approach to the “Global- Dominance- Delimma” populations (the people) are in.
Very interesting—thanks!
It’s interesting to read the names of all the WEF Strategic Partners. Here they are – note Gates and Open Society (Soros) foundations:

Here is the leadership and governance.
https://www.weforum.org/about/leadership-and-governance/
Very interesting.
Seems like 90% of the WEF’rs are old, white European men. Wonder how their foot soldiers feel about that?
Some suggest:
The WEF globalists including Blackrock depend on China as the world’s industrial, scientific, and tech engine rising to predominance, they salivate at the slave hive model, so they are tools of China leading BRICS+ to global dominance.
This is why they are all on board with global machinations to sink the West, including the climate canard (with the forced EVs and energy strangulation), wokeism, open borders, biowarfare democide (“pandemic preparedness”), and Ukraine sanctions. Take note: These suicidal programs are harming the West only, NOT BRICS+. Hello, is anyone paying attention?
The Plan is to sink the US Bloc to a weakened vassal state, subjugated under briCs+ (“multi-polar global governance”), the globalists will continue exploiting the masses as they always have, and the satraps controlling the vassal will use – who else? – the Five Eyes as their symbiotic agents.
Everything happening right now aligns with the Plan.
The web includes all, not just Blackrock, WEF, etc.

Sun Tzu is smiling.
So BRICS is part of the Globalist plan? Very interesting insight—have to think about its implications. Is this perhaps what Sundance is getting at?
joined at the hip collusion of big business and government
The WEF is a stage, a theater, so to speak, and all the members or attendees, blackrock, etc., are the actors on the stage. Does this make it easier?
While the time machine is still warmed-up …. where was the vast majority of the DOE Green Energy Billions and faux Bail-Out Money INVESTED in 2009-2010 by friends of Obama … CHINA Inc.
So, not only are the top 5 US Financial Institutions capitalizing EV plants in Mexico … the US Tax Payer actually provided the Technology Development Money to fund the R&D for the products those plants will build.
The money, diamonds, gold et al is being funneled through the special”Banking districts” of Hong Kong … yep those agreements are still in effect as well as Macau.
Just for grins … Saint Elon of Musk helped move some of that money and is likely a partner with China Inc.

Biden sold America out, to China….he even sold them out strategic reserves and has not filled them
It is clear, obvious and this will not stop until homes are stormed by the proles and these monsters are dragged into the street and stomped. It would not be the first time
That is EXACTLY what its going to require, and if they are foolish enough to try to prevent PDJT frpm his legitimate win, its EXACTLY what they will get.
“That is EXACTLY what its going to require, and if they are foolish enough to try to prevent PDJT frpm his legitimate win, its EXACTLY what they will get.”
Careful. That would bring martial law.
Unlike the situation in the 1700’s, the tyrants now have the upper hand in every way, including 100% near-real-time surveillance and the ability to shut off communications and finances (CC, bank accounts/cash) at will.
Your screen name is appropriate, if you actually believe that THEY have the upper hand.
They are BULLIES, and like any bullies they only continue to dominate, thru intimidation; once the majority stand up and refuse to be intimidated, the bullies are f*cked.
If history is any kind of an example violence is inevitable.
started with Clinton I believe
Or states form a block with Texas and tell the EPA to pound sand. Much of auto manufacturing is in states like Texas, Alabama, South Carolina not the rust belt. The EPA like most of the DC government is unconstitutional and such mandates are unconstitutional. This administration hates the constitution so expect nothing. Notice how these mandates are always for the future 2027-2032. Emphasizes the importance of the November elections.
The famous scene in the movie The Untouchables. Sean Connery explains to Kevin Costner ‘The Chicago Way.’ Tom Donilon and AL Capone, is there a difference at this point?
Someone please convince me this scumbag will live long enough to see himself and his entire family stripped off all assets, the entire lot prosecuted and jailed.

What’s plan B going to be when nobody buys the darn things? Maybe they can export back to China.

…. ‘There’s (Mike) Donilon, 60, Biden’s most trusted confidant and strategist since 1981, whom a colleague describes as Biden’s “alter ego” and the “soul of the campaign.”
Schultz has also said his job isn’t to worry about strategy but to “execute” it. The Biden strategy was developed by Donilon, Ricchetti, Klain and the rest of the core brain trust.’

I once worked for a federal agency. Yes, and I am certain that the whole EV thingy these days is an EXACT replica, let me repeat it, EXACT replica of what went down re EV’s during Obummer, among SO MANY OTHER THINGS. Oh remember the Solindra Solar Panel fiasco? I sure do.
I guess the PTB think we have all “lost” our memories about how all that sh*t went down. In fact, I think the jab was to do just that. Create cognitive impairment so that we all think what is happening with all of the crimes we used to get angry about are supposedly now, just a “normal” way of life.
Its not much, but I have two hands with two middle fingers.
So basically, EV demand in the US is very, very low, the communist chinese, blackrock, et al, who own the biden crime syndicate, need demand and voila!, the head of the biden crime syndicate creates it with their “mandate”. Easy peasy.
Biden has many puppet masters.
“What I am saying directly is that Blackrock is the origin of the policy, and Blackrock is the beneficiary of the policy.”

I believe what is presented in this article plays a big part in why President Trump refers to the Corona Virus as the “China Virus”. “I call it the China Virus because it came from China.”
I’m sure he is fully aware of it’s true origin, but his constantly blaming it on “China” is actually an indirect whack in the balls at those big banks funding all things China.
President Trump is not actually attacking China with those remarks, he is attacking the big banks’ investment. Those big banks are left defenseless. Their only defense would be to tell everyone the true source of the virus and that would expose themselves even worse.
They are behind the managed decline of the US and the managed incline of China taking over as the world’s next big ultra power.
President Trump and his team are trying to put a stop to that.
How does one compete with a big private club that tries to control its membership? You build a better club right down the street and make it an attractive place where all are welcome. The “power and control” of the big private club is lessened significantly.
President Trump has been doing that his entire career. He is uniquely qualified to build a better club.
By pushing the MAGA Agenda, he is basically taking over an old private club that was run into the ground by its private members. He is rebuilding and rebranding it as a public club to be open for business to all.
The MSM literalist braying over every word DJT utters is exposed daily.
EV cars are not the future.
I will never ride in an EV car because the
Battery Fire Hazard is far too great.
Let the CCP build all the EV’s plants in Mexico and WHEN OUR Trump is elected place a 100% tariff on any and all CCP made EV’s made there. In addition, a tariff on any and ALL products coming in from Mexico. Let the Mexicans buy the EV’s .
I have heard of talks of creating a parallel banking system, putting it in place and then once it’s up and running, switch over to that system.
Doing so would remove the “power and control” mechanisms choking off free flow of business/commerce in the US and abroad.
Who knows. I heard about it a while ago but haven’t heard much since.
I also heard President Trump discuss fixing the banking system at one of his recent NH rallies. He said, “we need to fix banking, and I know how to do it.” I was at that rally, so I heard it with my own ears. I thought, great, he has a plan for it.
I have been credit unioning (as opposed to banking) for 20-30 years, and can not understand why any individual would bank with Citibank, Wells Fargo, etc.
Are you kidding me? A $10/month fee, unless you keep $500 daily balance?
The last time I saw Tom Donilon was during the Benghazi attack he along with the others decided not to intervene.
I’m glad to see attention being given to regulatory bodies like the EPA.
They are put in place strictly to control outcomes and pick winners and losers. They use “saving the planet” as their ruse for their control. Having Gina McCarthy in charge should have been all the red flag needed to know the true intent of that agency.
The EPA and many, many other agencies like it should be dismantled.
It doesn’t get much attention, but President Trump’s policy of cutting regulations (seven cut for every new one added policy) was one of his greatest accomplishments.
It brought businesses back who left due to over-regulation here in the US.
Here’s an interesting take on the “Power and Control” schemes and using their own words against them…
You think you can control the temperature of this entire planet when you can’t even control a microscopic virus from escaping from a bat cave in a small, secluded part of the earth and spreading throughout the entire world?
Shutting down the administrative state sure would be a big blow to them.
They’d lose their top cover, their market creation machine, their enforcement arm, their intelligence gathering and information control system, their protected revenue streams, their investments…
Let’s be honest, they’d lose it all – everything.
All alone in the wilderness like that, forced to survive on just their merits alone, they’d be wholly unable to compete.
Every resource they’re using to conduct this war against us would be gone.
Shutting down the administrative/regulatory state – just the attempt alone – would send them stark raving crazy. They might start driving way to fast, make mistakes, maybe crash.
Imagine if everyone pushed for that, HARD. Began demanding it. Imagine if it became all anyone wanted to talk about.
Imagine if even the captured and corrupted media couldn’t ignore it.
Imagine if people saw it everywhere anyway, even if the captured media did ignore it.
Imagine if they really began to believe it was a real threat, a real possibility.
Imagine if it was…
.
And then there’s the Fed. Shutting it down too…
Whooo boy. That’d be a real barn burner right there.
Of course, my advice would be to use sufficient leverage that you could demand a handover of ALL the institutions. Why leave anything to chance? But then, I do tend to swing for the fences. What’s the point of playing the game if you don’t fully intend to win?
.
Imagine if they realized we were already fully prepared to govern ourselves effectively in their absence.
(Maybe they already know???)
.
If we really want to be rid of these evil parasites once and for all, enjoy freedom and prosperity once again, rebuild our country, revitalize our culture and our civilization, it might be time to stop thinking small, stop negotiating for crumbs from a position of weakness, and start applying massive leverage toward those worthy and specific end goals.

Hi, my name’s Chris. Come join our team. We swing for the fences. We call ourselves Americans.
…and sometimes, Wolverines.
I actually am not sure what “reddit” is, but that line of “WorldWar Reddit”should be followed by,…brought to you by Blackrock and JPMorgan.”
A wild guess, once Gaza is raised, Blackrock and the Multinationals are all set to invest billions in development $,…right?
Politicians are the turtles, stuck on the fencepost; bankers are the sumbitches that put them there.
Mediterranean sea waterfront property! Luxury Condos! Blackrock has a plan.
Probably, but more likely they fully exploit the huge natural gas field off the Gaza coast, and also put the alternative to the Suez canal right through the middle of Gaza.
With Small Palestinian children available to go as a side as the ships pass through.
How many average Americans are still unaware that Blackrock and JPMorgan decide policy? Most are oblivious about who represents our country and enters into agreements with foreign governments for America.
How many millions remain in total darkness about the corporate monolith and financial group that are in fact THE government?
2 years ago, I would hazarda guess very gew knew who or what klause schwab and WEF is, and would have a clueless look if askedabout them or Davos.
Now, I find as I talk to people, that an awful lot know exactly what WEF is, and similarly I hear people, unbidden using the term “Uniparty” and knowledgeable abiut the Canadian Freedom Convoy, and the freezing of bank accounts, etc.
The Sheeple HAVE finally, in large part woken up, and thats what has our enemy grasping for more control, as an inevitable reaction to fear.
So, yesterday I sent the following to my trying to be liberal California brother.
Some fascinating news nuggets. Tell me if you have read anything about them.
Late 2023, 3 Chinese auto firms announce building 3 EV auto plants in Mexico for the US market. $5 billion investment via Blackrock. A pretty big investment for a vehicle type that doesn’t sell well in US.
Last week, a certain person indicated there would be a bloodbath in the US auto manufacturing with China building plants in Mexico. Naturally, the pretend media went bananas. Getting the vapors, clutching their pearls over the term, bloodbath.
Today the current administration outlined a push for two thirds of new auto sells be EVs by 2032.
Did China know before hand that it would be a good investment to put EV plants in Mexico?
Will reply back if he responds.
Absolutely NOT the governments damn job. People it’s time to say enough
What is their daughter, Sarah Donilon, doing now?
And there you have it folks. The answer to the question of “who is pulling the strings”…..
Blackrock and their keepers.
We are slaves to the multinationals who control our government because our politicians simply cannot say no to the large amount of money these companies throw around.
The “Largest Bank” JPMorgan also has the longest list of VIOLATIONS for FRAUD since 2000. It’s literally mind boggling the sheer amount of FRAUD they’ve committed. How much do you think the Bank has STOLEN through ill gotten gains if the FINES were $40 BILLION! As a side note, they have assets near $3 Trillion and LIABILITIES near $50 TRILLION, what could go wrong! Blackrock? Heaven help us!

Comments below video:
My company was purchased by a private equity firm years ago. At the time the popular talking point was “We’ll have deeper pockets to hire more people to grow our business with this investment.” Over the years, we saw jobs cut, no roles backfilled, the slow removal of our company culture in the ways they gave back to workers. Used to have a monthly birthday party for all birthdays, more company picnics and give aways, free food in the break room, an annual bonus, higher raises, etc. No more. They cut costs everywhere little by little mostly in employee benefits to create a false balloon in profits so we could be sold off to another company, giving the PE firm and any executives with a private equity holding a huge windfall. We were sold to IBM, which has been even worse. Our company as it was is no more… before this our company prospered for thirty years. Thanks for making this video. I wish it wasn’t so relatable.
I worked for Hertz for 22 yrs. We were the leader in the industry. Top market share. Solid financials. We were purchased by a private equity group in a leverage buyout. It destroyed the company. Thousands lost their jobs, customer service went in the toilet. The age of the cars on the road skyrocketed. Absolute destruction. Then they bought Dollar and Thrifty Rent a Car. Now 3 companies own all the brands you have heard of. Hertz went into bankruptcy entirely because of the private equity pirates. It was during covid but they had dug the grave long before that. It pisses me off to this day. I was proud of what I did for a living and these scumbags destroyed it for everyone. But a handful of people made a fortune while our careers were trashed.
How Private Equity Plundered The American Economy | Ft. Adam Conover
Moyers is generally a far more unbiased liberal than most, but the implications he makes in the opening about Reagan’s tax cuts not working and causing a recession don’t take into account other economic factors at the time OR the MAJOR beef of his guest: taxes were cut, BUT GOVERMENT SPENDING WASN’T BY NEARLY ENOUGH.
Anyway, this is a fantastic interview and other than his implication through omission in the opening, Moyers asks all of the right questions during this interview:
David Stockman on Crony Capitalism – Bill Moyers & Company (33:03)
(January 20, 2012) This weekend, continuing its sharp multi-episode focus on the intersection of money and politics, Moyers & Company explores the tight connection between Wall Street and the White House with David Stockman — yes, that David Stockman — former budget director for President Reagan.
Now a businessman who says he was “taken to the woodshed” for telling the truth about the administration’s tax policies, Stockman speaks candidly with Bill Moyers about how money dominates politics, distorting free markets and endangering democracy. “As a result,” Stockman says, “we have neither capitalism nor democracy. We have crony capitalism.”
Stockman shares details on how the courtship of politics and high finance have turned our economy into a private club that rewards the super-rich and corporations, leaving average Americans wondering how it could happen and who’s really in charge.
“We now have an entitled class of Wall Street financiers and of corporate CEOs who believe the government is there to do… whatever it takes in order to keep the game going and their stock price moving upward,” Stockman tells Moyers.

How many decades of Trumps, actually CONSERVATIVE majorities in both houses, and NO activist judiciaries will it take to fix this?
My take: it will take a massive economic crash to remove the games and circuses and pique the attention of an attention deficit idiocracy and even then, because they have been so dumbed down with respect to the learned skill of critical thought and analysis and knowledge of the Constitution, I don’t expect a positive outcome. Mass formation psychosis.
I’m not religious, but I see either Armageddon or this. Don’t know when, but definitely eventually:
“There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always— do not forget this, Winston— always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever.” ― George Orwell, 1984
Ford’s ’23 profits would have doubled HAD Ford NOT produced EV’s.
The Ford Lightning truck, originally costing $98k has been ‘reduced’ to $92k…y’all go buy you one.
This is the truck that can’t pull any load over 100 miles on a full charge….Really see the commercial industry loading up on those type trucks.
And the ‘common sense’ of an EV, one fully charged vehicle of that type consumes as much total energy as a small grocery store…..so, let that sink it…and WHO subsidizes those charging stations, oh, you and I….
And these folks that pull into these charging stations, do so, free of charge.
Pull into a Speedway and need air…..better have your quarters or cr card ready…..all how dumb we have become. We pay for the EV owners to charge their vehicles at no cost, and pay our way for everything, to include ‘air’.
And these EV’s are NOT PAYING road tax on their fuel purchases as we are, thereby getting another ‘free ride’…
I’ve watched a lot of YouTube videos on EV’s. Mainly about the range anxiety they cause. From what I’ve seen, the free charging stations are EXTREMELY rare and are always occupied. The others are expensive.
Goes to show that just because you are massively wealthy doesn’t mean you’re smart. The Donilons and anyone who sold out on China are idiots. China’s been cooking the books, among other things, on their demographic decline. Since the lifting of the one child policy, the birthrate has not increased. Marriages have dropped. Births have dropped. China’s Lying Flat generation is as much Doomers as America’s Gen Z. There is no future in East Asian economies if they don’t get the birth rate up. Younger Chinese are already having to do the 9 9 6 workweek just to support the masses of elderly. An economy can’t survive with the inverse demographic pyramid they have. As their population implodes, so will the economic growth of the countries.
“anyone who sold out on China are idiots”
China simply proved the great truth of this old commie adage, the fundamental message of a much longer Lenin quote, “A capitalist will sell you the rope you hang him with,” except in this case it was, “The capitalists will finance your ‘rope’ factory, allow you to steal the IP required to make the ‘rope’ with no consequences, and then BUY the ‘rope’ you hang them with.”
And, actually, THIS is something very powerful that YOU can do to put a stop to this, kick the CCP over the Ponzi scheme real estate crisis cliff they are on while also causing economic issues for the Manchurian Candidate. By getting out of debt, you will also be more prepared for any economic crisis:
1. Get TOTALLY out of debt which will be assisted by #2
2. Buy mainly only necessities; be frugal; replace items only when they break
3. Whenever possible, buy from local businesses, not chains
4. Whenever possible pay by cash or check; that get’s you as much as possible away from the debt donkey system
5. Use credit unions, not banks; credit unions are often local, are owned by their members (you), can’t use your deposits for speculation, and don’t contribute to big bank lobbying funds
I would say on #2, actually THIS, rather than in your credit union savings account, is wgwre you want to invest any reserves.
why let $ sit in a savings account or fire safe, being eaten up in inflation, when you know that food (canned goods for instance) will only go UP in price?
Along with getting out ofthe credit trap, look askance at the inter-related “insurance”; credit hooks you with the ILLUSION of Prosperiry, and Insurance with the Illusion of Safety/Security.
SEE thru the ILLUSIONS, and STOP Pretending.
Blackrock: (spit) (spit) and (spit)
Another wonderful benefit to the CCP of a far too timely to be accidental release of the CCP virus presenting them with a four year (or more) window of opportunity to compromise the US of A via multiple means via forces WITHIN the USA.
In a few years, the automotive inventory will be like Cuba except that we will be sanctioned by our own government.
One thing about Socialists that stands out besides all the death is that when the policies start to fail, they always double down on those policies. EVs are the worst economic solution to a nonexistant problem. Or how can we waste Trillions and beggar the country? They Force people to buy a product that is not wanted and economically unsound.
“EVs are the worst economic solution to a nonexistant problem. Or how can we waste Trillions and beggar the country? They Force people to buy a product that is not wanted and economically unsound.”
Terry Anderson, the goal of forcing EVs is the same goal behind everything else being done by the neo-fascist US regime:
Forcing the US Bloc down, as part of raising up briCs+ to dominance.
Concepts like the ones you mention are missing the point.
Most of the apparatchiks are themselves brainwashed. EV proponents actually believe EVs must replace ICE vehicles to save the planet from CO2.
Even “Trillions at stake” misses the larger long game in play, although the trillions are a factor.
Yes, it’s more than money driving this. No, it’s not to elevate BRICS, which is rising out of self-preservation in response to the madness of the NWO vandals.
This is being done to herd everyone into 15-minute cities and make self-sufficiency (i.e. rural life) prohibitive, if not impossible.
“,..make self-sufficiency (i.e. rural life) prohibitive, if not impossible.”
First of, rural life does not automatically equate with self-sufficiency; I live rural, and know many who are as addicted to the Grid and Cord, as Large Metro dwellers.
I don’t think they really percieve that they need to take on the relatively small % of the population that see thru the ILLUSIONS of Safety/Security, Convenience/Efficiency, and Prosperity; the illusions will keep many stuck on the reservation, herded into their 15 min. city cattlecars.
To be AWAKE! as opposed to woke or sheeple, must stop pretending, and thats about more than politics (public policy) and more than spiritual bond with God; both are vital of coarse, but it also means examining lifestyle choices.
You can not possibly boycott all of the MultiNational companies, to have any kind of effect on the machine.
Only by cutting the Cord, and getting off the grid, can you be free, because then the Edicts and controls they try to implement have no effect on you.
Think the small group of people, living outside the City, in that image Sundance often uses.
Think the Amish, and SELF-SUFFICIENCY, and try to move a little closer, every day.
Yes, rural living does not make one self-sufficient. But that is beside the point. You cannot be self-sufficient and live in the city. And that, more than anything, is what they want, dependency and control.
The very expensive models are the only EV’s I ever see anymore, and they are fewer and fewer. No matter, double down and watch them sit on the dealership lots. Nobody wants these pieces of junk. My neighbor has a VERY expensive model, they’re wealthy and it’s a cool virtue signaling toy. Every few months the thing totally caps out and the manufacturer sends out a full service vehicle to get it up and running which takes all day. Hilarious. They don’t like my Trump flags.
My neighbor has an Impeach Joe Biden Flag flying on a tall flag post I wonder how our EV driving neighbors feel about it?!
Maybe ask the Prius owners?
