Yes...and it's much more so now. And we are going to become even more controlled as we advance into a Socialistic dictatorship.. Pretty soon we will all be corralled into places where they don't have to monitor us much at all because we will be so controlled we won't be able to blink without asking permission. And if we don't go along with it, they will dispose of us...like aborted babies.

Just wait. It's coming.

Emily, I of course share you outrage and concern for this development in out society.. I see the promotion and the empowerment of the patriot act by Bush as one of the greatest t***sgressions ever forced on the American citizens.. and hold those who enabled the act responsible to this day..

Try looking at the EO that Clinton, bush and Obama put in place, makes patriot act look tame.

New poll finds one-third of Americans consider buying an EV for next purchase
Political affinities were a major factor in determining customer attitudes.

A recent survey found that almost one-third of all U.S. buyers would consider purchasing an EV as their next vehicle model. According to a new consumer survey by Reuters and Ipsos, 34% of Americans think about buying one of the 80 EVs that are now available on the domestic market.

Political affinities were a major factor in determining customer attitudes, with democratic respondents being almost twice as likely to consider buying an EV as their republican counterparts.

The poll found that one-third of US consumers support President Joe Biden’s goal of having 50% of all new cars sold by 2030 be electric or plug-in hybrid models. Although Tesla is the top EV manufacturer in the country, other popular models include the Ford Mustang Mach-E SUV, the General Motors Chevy Bolt, and the Hyundai Ioniq 5.

However, 56% of participants would only spend up to $49,999 for an EV. Even though the Biden administration succeeded in expanding the $7,500 electric vehicle tax credits as well as additional manufacturing incentives for batteries and EVs in August, the cost of an EV is still far above $50,000.

The survey also revealed that 35% of respondents wanted an EV with a range of 500 miles or more on a single charge, which is a distance that few EVs currently provide. Another 37% preferred at least 300 miles.

As the Biden administration works to enact new laws to hasten the shift away from gasoline-powered vehicles, the major automakers in the world are investing hundreds of billions of dollars in the development of EVs, as well as the batteries and raw materials to support that production.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency intends to propose new, stricter car emissions regulations in the upcoming weeks that will last at least through the 2030 model year.

The EPA finalized new light-duty tailpipe emission standards in December 2021, rolling back the president’s reduction of auto pollution regulations through the 2026 model year.

Bird, what you going to say now, in the coming weeks the OPEC crowd will be again cutting supply and the gas price in America will again go up.. this seems to be an effort to help Russia who has had oil revenue nose dive for the last years.. but my money is that you guys will just b***h at Biden some more. forget world events... it is all biden fault..

BIRDMAN

Why would anybody want to help Russia I thought they were the bad guys

permafrost Loc: Minnesota

To nearly all lthe world they are,, but the trump troops love them and the OPEC sand monkey h**e the USA.. so you have that anomaly.. just a couple years ago the Russians and OPEC were having a price war which ended up putting a bunch of US oil well getting capped..

BIRDMAN

I thought it might’ve been Biden when he said he was going to end all f****l f**l

Do you mean that electric cars are better because no gas is needed? Or that they don't use f****l f**ls?
