    This is republican assholes wanting to protect their oil wealth. Has nothing to do with workers.

    Imagine actively destroying the place your kids live to get more money. They’re psychopaths

      There’s also a huge about of FUD on EVs being able to be remotely controlled or disabled. The same can be done with gas vehicles that have computers in them and EVs can be made dumb with only the electronics needed for them to function.

      But both Dems and Reps are heavily invested in oil… including other raw materials for example materials for EVs.

      Also, I could be mistaken (I’m honestly not heavily invested in the whole “green” initiative beyond recycling - apparently that’s a scam too), but isn’t the entire process from A-Z in building an EV far more negatively impactful to the environment and humanity (child slavery apparently)?

        So basically: both sides are as bad as each other and anyway probably it’s all bad anyway?

        Even if true that both sides are heavily invested in oil, both sides are not objectively equal on decisions to expand vs limit oil exploration rights, and both sides are not the same in pushing for more electric and less gas, and in improving vs reversing fuel efficiency standards, etc etc
