Is Biden really that bad?

I love the fact that there is no internal combustion engine on my EV. Waaaaayyy less maintenance. I mean the maintenance is virtually zero. It's true that there are range issues though. I have a regular car that I can drive when needed as well, but it mostly sits.
Lithium batteries have come quite a ways but they still worry me, have seen too many of them catch on fire and those fires do NOT go out haha. Not to mention the battery packs are like 12 grand alone lol. Then again, you have to start somewhere.

Cold temps is another huge factor that kinda sucks for EV's. You should start a thread. Or I will, :lol:

I bought my EV two years used for $11k, right now with 30k more miles on the odo, CarFax says that my trade-in-value is over $12k, and my battery life has only dropped one bar in that time.

So just to toss it out there...again...

What people are calling inflation is just fuckin greed. If companies are making all time high profits, but you are paying them more for the same services....its not some magic shit called inflation. You're getting fucked and the people doing it are pointing everyone's anger elsewhere.

That's kind of the end of it, it's infuriating.
A person can file a complaint with their state for price gouging.

That it does, its 15-18 mpg. Had a prius previously but they aren't great in terms of going where I wanted. Funny as hell taking it (prius) down weird dirt trails, got lots of looks.

In general I am a public transit advocate. This thing just sits there other than weekends ideally.
I totally took my work Prius up Redfeather to where dispatch couldn't see me on GPS, I was so far up and was pleasantly surprised I four-wheeled up a mountain in an electric car:lol:

I got stopped at stream crossings. Dudes in side by sides urged me to go back. The prius was the best car I ever owned, would get one again in heartbeat if I could afford/justify two cars. Prius had a hard time making it up I70 though. If it's an option, I back public transit and a personal car is just special situations. Big ol rtd nerd here.

Do you forget the BLM and ANTIFA riots and looting? Both parties have their extremists. There wont be change while the Country continues to be divided by race politics and its new favorite, gender politics.
Do you forget Trump telling that Jan 6 mob to attack Congress? Come to DC on Jan 6. It's going to be wild. Go down there and fight. Our election was nearly overturned and Trump's thugs came very close to murdering his political enemies. Dude, it's not even similar. When did BLM leaders advocate that? Which BLM or Antifa member committed riots and looting?

I can understand why you want to equate what happened on Jan 6 with what happened during the summer. But it doesn't fit. It's false, so go find something else to try. What I would suggest is what Proud Boys did in Salem Oregon a few weeks earlier. THAT was very similar. It looked like a practice session even.
