11/02/2022 Just Curious: I have no idea exactly how many cars and trucks that there are on the road as of today, but it must be over one billion. GM, Ford, and Chrysler are promising to keep the promise of no IC (Internal Combustion) vehicles produced by 2050. California and their followers are pushing for no IC vehicles allowed on roads in the U.S. shortly, thereafter, as are the E.U. members. Hmmm.

Given the scarcity and inherent instability of lithium-ion batters and the material to manufacture them, and no functional, dependable, or, as proven in NYC, safe mass transportation system:

1. Does this mean that the total number of independent vehicles globally will be reduced to those needed to move goods?
2. Does this mean that only the extraordinarily rich and political hacks will have personal vehicles, including aircraft and boats?
3. Does this mean that to own a personal vehicle one must have a government issued, taxable personal property license, hopefully inheritable or transferable, to own a personal vehicle?
4. Does this mean that there will be a forced “buy-back” program, in direct violation to Due Process, at some arbitrary government price, with complete disregard for the cost and availability of a safe, inexpensive, and reliable alternative of all personal vehicles?
5. Does this mean that government use of eminent domain will be, once again, arbitrarily used to steal land in order to grant it to preferred railroads so that rail lines may be extended to all municipalities regardless of size, so that ‘equity’ in supplying goods and transportation services to all may be attained, again, regardless of cost, much as was done with tax paid ‘local’ airports?
6. Does this mean that, since it is the underlying purpose of the Greens, that the global population will be reduced, as Mao did to his own population via famine, to their ideal of 500,000 people on a “sustainable” agr0-system, they themselves being the 500,000, yet none of them being the farmers or ‘working’ in the transportation and production process, these producers being serfs or machines?

I am sure that there are more questions that can be added, but y’all get the idea.
