The summer is going to be rough as fuck, but that’s not the worst part.
From The Daily Mail (because the US media sucks assholes):
President Joe Biden’s Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm became the latest Democratic politician to suggest the solution to high gas prices was to buy an electric vehicle.
Granholm, in a clip tweeted out by the Republican National Committee Tuesday, made the case for going electric amid sky high gas prices.
‘If you filled up your EV [electric vehicle] and you filled up your gas tank with gasoline, you would save $60 per fill-up by going electric rather than using gasoline but it’s a very compelling case, but again, we want to bring down the price at the point of purchase,’ Granholm, the former governor of Michigan, said.
Her comments come as the national average price for one gallon of gas has skyrocketed to over $5.
Granholm made similar points in a White House press briefing in May 2021, according to Fox News.
‘If you drive an electric car, this would not be affecting you,’ she said at the time.
Granholm, who is worth $8million according to Forbes, recently served as director of an electric car company – and held millions in the firm’s stock.
Last month she exercised stock options in the company, called Proterra, pocketing $1.6million from the transaction, according to an energy department spokesperson.
It is absolutely personal for them.
They invest in green energy and electric car companies.
They fuck you right in the gass hole, encouraging the purchase of an electric car, then they cash out on your misery.
In a healthy society this should be illegal.
But we are not a healthy society.
We are a decrepit society run by elderly corrupt millionaires who have decades of experience in perverting the system so they can grift off of it.
They hate you and will use every ounce of authority they have to squeeze your money out of you and put it in their pockets.
“We are a decrepit society run by elderly corrupt millionaires who have decades of experience in perverting the system so they can grift off of it.”
Worse than that: it’s a coalition of elderly corrupt millionaires and intensely sincere fifth-graders in adult bodies, convinced that they know all about everything and that all the people who make civilization run need to shut up and obey their betters.
What passes for the Progs’ farm team is that bunch of perennially angry, hubristic children. That’s meant to be our future, once the old crooks die off.
They don’t even realize that they are sowing the wind.
I wonder, did she disclose her potential (and now actual) conflict of interest to Gropey Joe and the U.S. Senate prior to her appointment and confirmation, as required by 18 U.S.C. 208?
Sure seems like impeachment is in order.
We’re talking about the same administration that foisted Lloyd “SecDef Raytheon” Austin on the DOD? Conflicts of interest and ethical violations aren’t disqualifying offenses in this administration. They’re prerequisites for employment!
like during the french thing, they kept asking what they did wrong on the way to the chopping block.
these people want to rob us of every last dime and then wish to die.
I wouldn’t stop to piss on any of them if they where on fire. might come back with a cold beer to watch though.
Popcorn, Dave, popcorn.
The “So Called” Energy Secretary makes no mention where the electricity to charge the EVs is coming from. Previously having warned us of rolling blackouts due to inadequate capacity this summer.
“where the electricity to charge the EVs is coming from”
Easy-peasy. Unicorn treadmills! Subsidizing construction of the treadmills is simply an extension of current policies. Once the treadmills have been built, the demand for unicorns to run on them will motivate the unicorn breeders.
If the unicorns fail to materialize, we can then lay all the blame on the breeders for failing to meet our expectations. Then we round up the outgroup and set them to running on the treadmills.
The answer is short rope and tall lamp posts.
