Automobiles, human nature, and the challenge of building cars that people actually want

Automobiles, human nature, and the challenge of building cars that people actually want

"...The manufacturers are playing their part, nervously unveiling EV after EV after EV. 

• They advertise the crap out of them, auto publications dutifully test and review them, and the media breathlessly reports how a model’s sales skyrocket by, say 33 percent, when sales go from 3 to 4 units per month.
• The media also jumped all over stories about huge demand backlogs, how some new model about to enter showrooms has thousands and thousands of orders or deposits. 

In 2021, news widely circulated that “Ford F-150 Lightning pre-orders have been closed after nearly 200k reservations”, or Motor Trend’s “Ford Takes in More Than 44,500 F-150 Lightning Orders in 48 Hours”.
Think about how amazing that order book is. 

A mass manufacturer like Ford is so swamped with interest that they simply must grandiosely and loudly announce: “Sorry Sir or Madam, we can no longer take your order, our success is just too overwhelming.”...

A Man Pretending to Be a ‘Trans Woman’ Raped a Female Prisoner at Rikers, Lawsuit Says -  Madeline Leesman

"...The lawsuit was filed by “Rose Doe,” who was housed in the Rose M. Singer women’s jail on Rikers Island. 

• Doe is suing a total of 20 defendants, including the city of New York, alleging that the staff at the jail ignored her warnings about the “transgender women” who was living with the female inmates (via NBC New York):

"His introduction was, 'I’m not transgender. I’m straight. I like women,’" said the plaintiff, who is identified only as "Rose Doe" in the lawsuit...

Biden judicial nominee sweats bullets when Sen. John Kennedy stumps her with basic legal questions: 'Sure, you'll look it up' | Blaze Media: 

"Tell me the grounds for granting a new trial in the Court of Federal Claims," he requested. The nominee, in response, provided a long, drawn-out answer in which she claimed "the same rules" that apply in district courts apply in the Court of Federal Claims. But she failed to provide the grounds for granting a new trial, as Kennedy had requested. "So, what are the grounds for granting a new trial?" the senator asked again.

It isn't "America" they're "protecting", it's the democrat party!-----Watchlisted: You’re Probably Already on a Government Extremism List

Watchlisted: You’re Probably Already on a Government Extremism List - By John & Nisha Whitehead

• “In a closed society where everybody’s guilty, the only crime is getting caught.”—Hunter S. Thompson

"According to the FBI, you may be an anti-government extremist if you’ve:

a) purchased a Bible or other religious materials,
b) used terms like “MAGA” and “Trump,”
c) shopped at Dick’s Sporting Goods, Cabela’s, or Bass Pro Shops,
d) purchased tickets to travel by bus, cars, or plane,
e) all of the above.

In fact, if you selected any of those options in recent years, you’re probably already on a government watchlist.
That’s how broadly the government’s net is being cast in its pursuit of domestic extremists...

Fight to stop Maine's 'transgender trafficking bill' is coming down to the wire | Blaze Media

Fight to stop Maine's 'transgender trafficking bill' is coming down to the wire | Blaze Media: 

Parental rights advocates in Maine are campaigning to kill an LGBT activist bill that would allow the state to take custody of children whose families refuse to subject them to sex-change mutilations and other irreversible medical interventions. The legislation, LD 1735, would also effectively have Maine disregard the rights of parents in all other states and bar officials from reuniting runaway children supposedly seeking confusion-affirming treatments with their out-of-state families.

Granholm Is a Lying Dog-Faced Pony Soldier! DAVID STROM

Granholm Is a Lying Dog-Faced Pony Soldier! DAVID STROM
"...CNBC had the Energy Secretary on to discuss Biden’s horrendous decision to halt the permitting process for the export of natural gas–a huge blow to the oil and gas industry and to, not coincidentally given the border controversy, the State of Texas.
She was asked about whether the decision was due to Biden’s promise to eliminate the oil and gas industry.

• She denied there was such an effort, which is absurd. “I have never heard Joe Biden say that.”

That, my friends, is a lie. Not just that Biden hasn’t promised to do so, but Granholm was chosen as Energy Secretary because she shares that goal.

Adolf would be proud of these networks.

Media is bough and paid for!-----Associated Press Takes More Money to Promote Climate Alarm

Associated Press Takes More Money to Promote Climate Alarm

• "The Associated Press (AP) recently accepted a grant of approximately $300,000 from the KR Foundation, a Danish organization founded to “address the climate crisis by pushing for a rapid phase-out of fossil fuels at a global level.”
• This follows a $8 million grant to the AP by five U.S.-based foundations—the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Quadrivium, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Walton Family Foundation—in February 2022...

That grant directed the AP to hire more than two dozen journalists to report on climate issues, primarily from Africa, Brazil, India, and the United States.

Now, the Danish group is giving the AP additional money to continue and expand its efforts to stoke climate alarm through its “global scholars network.”..

Now, dems and RINOs want new serfs for their plantations. Voting!

Mexico demands investigation into how drug cartels have US military-grade weapons, including rocket launchers and machine guns | Blaze Media: 

Mexico has expressed that it wants an immediate investigation into how U.S. military-grade weapons have ended up in the hands of Mexican drug cartels. The nation's military has discovered belt-fed machine guns, rocket launchers, and even grenades, according to the Associated Press. The weapons the Mexican military has discovered are not available for retail to Americans, which raises questions about how drug cartels have them.

Texas responds to Supreme Court ruling by adding more razor wire along border: 'Hold the line' | Blaze Media

Texas responds to Supreme Court ruling by adding more razor wire along border: 'Hold the line' | Blaze Media: 

The U.S. Supreme Court sided with the Biden Department of Homeland Security Monday, allowing federal border officials to cut the razor wire Texas has installed along stretches of the Rio Grande as a means of securing the southern border and protecting American sovereignty.

Rather than cave in the wake of the 5-4 decision — which had nominally conservative Justices John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett in the majority — the Lone Star State has doubled down and installed more wire.
