What I see here that I like is that all vehicle sales combined area down. I don't want EV sales to climb. I want fewer personal vehicles. I want communities in which people can walk, cycle, take transit. I want one car families. EVs are not a solution to the big picture problems we face.
Gas cars have already peaked. Here’s how EVs are unseating them around the world.
Chart: EVs are ascendant — and gas cars are past their prime
Sales of gas-only vehicles are down by 31% from their peak, while electric vehicle sales are growing rapidly worldwide, largely due to China.

Despite the gofundme myth being debunked & even unions making it clear they aren’t organizing anything, Smith announced that she’s looking at ways to make recall rules less accessible!
You know, the recall rules she just re-wrote

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!
