And I thought Americans were carbrained, holy shit.

    I’d be mad if the government forced me to get rid of my working car too. I think a better option would be to do something like not allow new gas cars to be manufactured or registered to people. Like stop issuing license plates for gas cars rather than forcing everyone to get rid of them.

        Mmm but companies super don’t like the govt touching their money printing machines and they are full of scary lawyers. Individuals on the other hand don’t have time, money, lawyers or knowledge to fight back.
