Every EV out there has all or some of its components made in China. So go track the money on that sale, even though Oshkosh—I thought they made children's clothes?—has its name on the bill. But, hey, the "Big Guy" got his cut on that deal. It looks like the rest of us can just go pound sand. 🤦♂️
We need to bring back the Pillory and Debtor's prison, just for companies/people who do stuff like this. Since Corporations aren't actually people, maybe make a thing so that when they are bailed out, they have to pay all the money back over a 10 year period, like a mortgage, and their top brass and shareholders only get 10% of their pay/dividends until it's paid off. Would encourage them to pay it back faster.
But, but, but..."Tesla itself emphasized in a response in the US that the fire hazard of electric cars is significantly lower than that of cars with a petrol or diesel engine." So any criticism of EV technology denies Climate Change and is therefore racist. Just following Ann Barnhardt logic: "Bruce Jenner is a man. And furthermore I consider that islam must be destroyed." She means well, too. Nice lady, her heart is in the right place. Judica me, Deus, et discerne causam meam de gente non sancta.
The bottom line for me is that I don't want the books I order on Amazon to get immolated in a lithium ion flight deck-like conflagration. And you know that the ES-3A and whatever replaced the EA-6B is going to be battery powered in the future, right? I wouldn't want to get recalled and ride atop something more volatile than JP-5...or 4, whatever kind of kerosene it is. Not worried for myself, Sir, I was a black shoe. I used to be in the same building with the NFO EWO School at CNEWS NTTC Corry Station. Good people, staff and student alike. I think I might started PT-ing again after News Years day in case I get called up too. Time to check my blood sugar. I think I am rambling. Where can I buy size 40-42 waist uniform trousers?

$3 billion? $10 billion? 93 trucks is a good start, innit? I am sure our elected officials meant well. They did it for Gaia.

I remember that one!

I wonder if that deal was brokered by someone whose name starts with “Hunt”.
And good Lord is that thing ugly! It looks like Homer Simpson's idea of what a mail truck should look like.
Yeah, it is pretty much guaranteed large amounts of money got skimmed off the top. (And the bottom, and around the sides ...)
Grift has become so commonplace now that it's likely done by way of direct deposit.
