One of my family members told me that pain was needed to force people to change and adopt electric vehicles and such. I told him I was very excited about higher gas prices because I'm in a tourist town and it will stop all the people who bring crime from the city because they wont be able to afford gas. Que NPC meltdown.

Normies: "The marketplace made it possible to afford all this cool stuff and to earn money through hard work!"

Businesses: "The marketplace made it possible for us to make a lot of money in exchange for goods and services"

Tyrants: "The marketplace is another tool we can use to control people's behavior for the greater moral good!"

Electric car prices and the electricity are gonna be way more expensive too. Your family member doesn’t understand economics. The fastest way to transition to clean energy is to have cheap oil-> good economy-> cheap to make shit-> people can afford the electric car. Half of people would probably get a tesla over a normal car if it were the same price and available

I'll never own an electric car. All electronics have to be run by computers, not good old fashioned machinery and steel.

I agree but the cars a re already like that now. A good balance is late 90’s early 2000’s so you get airbags

As long as you dont have drive by wire the computer can not take over. Cars with automatic parking have drive by wire although i dont think it canoverride the manual controls it gets creepy

Manual transmissions still give you final say over whether the wheels are receiving power or not, so you're fine if you get one of those. Problem is every company is dumping manuals now.

Just wait until their electric bill goes out of sight when we need to build more substations and generation facilities for electric cars.

Wait until they find out they can't charge their car because it's really cold and the grids are overwhelmed with everyone's home heating draw...

..and wait until they find out "The Tesla Model S owners manual warns: “In cold weather, some of the stored energy in the Battery may not be available on your drive because the battery is too cold.”"

It won't just be fueling vehicles. Is he cool with paying extra for groceries and everything else at the store?

These people are literally insane. They were almost bragging about getting their covid vaccine. Who the fuck brags about getting a shot that everyone else with your mindset is getting? Its just so weird. They live in a super red area that is beautiful and complain about all the trumpers. stupid fuck dont realize the only reason that area is nice is because its conservative.
