Ever Shoot a Man’s Horse? Damn, Just Try Taking Our Automobiles!

“The American really loves nothing but his automobile: not his wife his child nor his country nor even his bank-account first…but his motor-car. Because the automobile has become our national sex symbol… ― William Faulkner

Listen Joe, when you start riding on electric limos, motorcades and flying an Electric Air Force One, we’ll talk.  Until then, get off my jets and cars!

Biggest oil consumer? General Mark Milley says it’s the DOD! When planes, trains and ships start electrifying the skies, grounds and oceans we’ll talk. Until then there’s no Fuckin way you’re ‘shooting my horse.”  

Shit, do you know how many celebrities have among their prized possessions classic high priced gas cars and trucks? Ain’t nothing gonna make them part with their babies.

DOT, looks like you’re putting the e-car in front of the chips. Know the world you live in. There is no eliminating “climate-related emissions from transportation.” A better FED strategy would have been to start with the real gas guzzler, Defense.

Future investments in bicycles and pedestrians? Give me a break! Do you know how FEW millennials walk or ride bikes, much less take the bus?

Will Biden get his act together before his “Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which contains $7.5 billion in new funding for EV charging stations” ends up in the same dump box as Obama’s solar? 

EVs? U.S. drivers don’t want them. The New York Times  reported in April “just 5.8 percent of vehicles sold last year were all-electric.”  Betting on EVs in the next eight years is not only moronic but risky.  Shit, “Even manufacturers who are enthusiastic about electric models are unsure whether consumers will buy enough of them to make up the majority of new car sales within a decade.”

EPA is said to be working to “accelerate the transition to a zero-emissions transportation future, protecting people and the planet.”  Hell, how are you going to protect people much less the planet if you can’t even protect victims from oil run railroad derailments? Like to see your plan to accelerate the trains, ocean cruise ships and airline industry’s transition to ‘zero-emissions.’   

Joe, heard of your “pledge to cut the country’s emissions in half by 2030 and effectively eliminate them by the middle of the century.” Easy to say Joe, but will you be around? If elected in 2024, and that’s a big if, I remind you the term ends by 2028.

I’ll tell you Joe who’ll be around. Auto Workers looking for work. “The transformation could also spell economic dislocation for American autoworkers, as electric vehicles require fewer than half as many laborers to build as gasoline-powered cars.”

Sure, many welcomed the convenience of Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs). But the negative implications to the mechanical and engineering industries are seriously problematic on many fronts. Expertise of this nature is critical, especially to DEFENSE. 

Listen, “We’ve dealt with the loss of jobs before through technology, but when you talk about the speed of this, it’s hard to fathom that we won’t lose jobs,” says Mark DePaoli, a leader of United Auto Workers Local 600.”

Joe, hear you’re looking to offer ‘tax incentives’ for American-made electric vehicles. YET, I also hear that the “requirement that they be assembled by union workers was dropped.” Unions and Workers, don’t hold your breath. There’s more requirements gonna hit the floor! Joe’s “Build Back Better” plan failed so he’s looking for scapegoats.

Tesla’s EV plants are in China and Mexico. American-made? Who ya kidding!

Joe, you’re losing your grip on reality!

→There’s only one Tesla.

→Jobs Loss = Election loss!

Guys and Dolls, Drivers with horse-powered cars, I don’t have to remind you of that feeling behind the wheel, the heat and roar of the back seat!

“As a result of which the American woman has become cold and undersexed; she has projected her libido on to the automobile… So in order to capture and master anything at all of her anymore the American man has got to make that car his own…lending it to no one, letting no other hand ever know the last secret forever chaste forever wanton intimacy of its pedals and levers…spending all Sunday morning washing and polishing and waxing it because in doing that he is caressing the body of the woman who has long since now denied him her bed.” ― William Faulkner
