The Biden Thing’s secretary of transportation – where in the Constitution does it state the federal government shall have the power to micromanage our comings and goings? – said the other day that people who haven’t given up their cars with engines for devices with a battery are similar to people back in the early 2000s who stubbornly refused to embrace the cell phone future.

Words to that effect.

He actually said more than just that. The money quote is as follows:

Governments globally are in a rush to transition away from fossil fuels. The US government threw $7.5 billion at the fabricated problem in 2022 to build a network of  EV charging stations. The Infrastructure Law of November 2021 promised to build half a million charging stations throughout the nation by 2030.

Why do you suppose you can’t pay cash to charge up an EV?

Many people don’t even know you can’t pay cash to charge up an EV. That you must put an app on your phone that’s used to charge your account. This means you must have your tracking device – whoops, your “smart” phone – with you wherever you go. If you go via EV. It means the system knows when, where and how much you’ve been charging.

There’s no legitimate reason for this.

They have been made to back down.

They have been forced to ease-up on their pushing of electric vehicles – meant to push most of us not only out of driving but also out of living too far away from the urban hives where they want to herd us – which are the only areas where owning one of these devices is even plausibly practical, on account of the short-distances driven and only having to wait 30-45 minutes at a “fast” charger rather than hours (or days) at home.

Instead of two-thirds of all new vehicles having to be electric by 2032 – as they had intended – by using regulations that would effectively force two-thirds of the vehicles that aren’t electric off the market by then – it is now only about a third (about 35 percent) by then.

Remember all the media headlines about the Magnificent 7 carrying the stock market from earlier this year?

We’ve touched on the Magnificent 7 in previous issues pointing out that the majority of investors (both retail and professional) are increasingly putting their faith (and money) into just seven stocks. Increasing concentration of risk is what is required for blow off tops. Just saying….

It reminds us of the dot-com era when stocks like CISCO were all the rage.

Except this time around, this concentration blind chasing of just a handful of stocks is now even more severe than in the late 1990’s/early 2000’s.

Do you know why there will never be affordable EVs? If you already know why there aren’t any affordable vehicles, you already know the answer.

It isn’t legal to sell them.

Here, that is.

We are living through one of history’s longest and most excruciating versions of “We told you so.” When in March 2020, the world’s government decided to “shut down” the world’s economies and throttle any and all social activity, and deny kids schooling plus cancel worship services and holidays, there was no end to the warnings of the terrible collateral damage, even if most of them were censored.

Every bit of the warnings proved true. You see it in every story in the news. It’s behind every headline. It’s in countless family tragedies. It’s in the loss of trust. It’s in the upheaval in industry and demographics. The fingerprints of lockdowns are deeply embedded in every aspect of our lives, in ways obvious and not so much.

You have probably seen Titanic, the movie about the sinking of the White Star liner starring Leonardo DiCaprio. When the ship first strikes the iceberg, few onboard appreciate what it means. Some of the passengers played with the chunks of ice that shaved off the berg as it gave the ship what amounted to a Godfather kiss.

Even when the ship began to sit noticeably lower in the water, it took some time for the panic to set in. That happened just before the ship began its plunge to the bottom, three miles down.

If an EV could go say 900 miles on a charge, as is supposedly in the works and just around the next corner, that would supposedly allay what is styled by those pushing EVs as “range anxiety” – the soft slur used to mock people who aren’t anxious about how not-very-far EVs can go; they just don’t want any part of such a car.

A very different thing.

Why are they pushing EVs so aggressively?

The “climate crisis” stuff is the excuse, of course. But what is the reason? Well, it’s fundamentally the same reason behind the failed push to get everyone “vaccinated” – which was really a push to set a precedent that would inevitably be expanded, as always happens when precedents are set (as for example when the precedent was set that forcing the car companies to install seat belts in cars led to the government forcing people to wear them).

Nearly 4,000 Ford dealers have publicly pushed back against the push to cram EVs down their (and our) throats. This is good news – in the same way that it was good news when people began to refuse to take the drugs being pushed on them as “vaccines.”

But the dealers – let alone the car manufacturers – haven’t yet pushed back against the predicate for the pushing.

Governments worldwide are pushing for clean energy without a reliable alternative. Electric vehicles (EVs) are sitting stagnant on lots as the demand is simply not there for a variety of obvious reasons. Over 3,000 auto dealers from all 50 states penned a letter to President Joe Biden, explaining that his target of forcing 50% of all car purchases to be electric by 2030 is unattainable.

It’s becoming very obvious that the push – just the right word, as it’s not happening freely – to “electrify” cars is getting pushback, in the form of people not buying electric cars at the rate the pushers want.

It is probably true that most of the people who wanted an electric vehicle already have one. This amounts to about 10 percent of the people, which makes sense given the expense (and limitations) of electric vehicles.

What do you suppose the result would be if you needed to get gas in a hurry – in order to get somewhere quickly – but you couldn’t fill up because there was another car already at the pump and it just sat there for half an hour while its driver enjoyed a nice cup of coffee inside the station?

How about another parked car at every pump?
