These groups go on and on blaming industry after industry but these industries only do what people want.

These people protesting 99% will have every latest and greatest gadget and by that I mean not last year's model but the most recent one.

EV cars, if they are so great so practical why must governments pass laws to force their use, give rebates to buy them?

The fault isn't the manufacturers it is the consumer and technology.

For most the impracticality if EV make them unattractive.

I wonder if Blume Blushed.

Excuse me but I am the one who always throws the turd in the self-congratulatory punch bowl by reminding everyone that Japan was until quite recently universally distrusted in Asia because Japan has not atoned for its WWII barbarities.
