    It's happening throughout the world. Businesses are moving in that direction. Try to make some kind of argument backed up by facts rather then the usual “BS argument” about the free market & progressives. I guess Ford just rammed their free market electric pick up down your throat. Ford, a bunch of BS progressive socialists.
    Don’t fool yourself.  Ford and other automakers are moving toward EVs out of political expediency, not out of a desire from the larger auto market.  But time will tell.  In a few short years we will see just how popular an EV version of the Ford F-150 is with its target market, which is kinda-sorta red state.
    If anyone is fooling themselves it’s you. Again back up the political expediency statement. This is an evolutionary process. It doesn’t happen overnight. You’re right we’ll see.

    What exactly is the issue here? Change? Change is constant. What’s wrong with this country creating new industries? The problem with arguments like yours is they are usually based on ideology & are not based on history or facts.

    I have no sympathy for the fossil fuel industry. They have the resources to diversify their energy portfolio. They should have started that process years ago.

    As far as government involvement in the private sector to move the country forward, how did interstate highways happen &why? There are many examples of this throughout our country’s history from both sides of the aisle. There are many examples of government investment in industry & inventions that have moved this country forward.

    OMG! I get to live at work and share every minute of my life with co-workers! How Awesome! It's just like being a teenager again! I especially love the prison mattress
    and the luxurious amount of space for me to live! Does it come in get me the fuck out of here? I'm sure they have an open bed if you can hack it.
    A post one would expect of someone who has never been to China.

    Reality:  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_society_in_China
    A post one would expect from someone who seems to have no empathy for the human condition. WTF does the link have to do with what you posted? Please, explain to me why anyone would want their life to be work and then live with the people you work with in that small space. Yeah, it can always be worse, but that doesn't mean Chinese workers are loving the situation. People do what they have to do to eat/survive. Did you misunderstand my post? I'm sure they have an open bed if you can hack the "cultural experience."
