    Well, here again the Climate Change nuts, progressives, liberals and others in the woke crowd have once again formed policies which contribute to social injustice and wealth inequality, making both worse. Only the richer can afford EV's or any cars at all. The poorer who live in the larger cities will find cars and their financing to be too expensive and cars of any kind will be banned from large cities, forcing the poorer to use public transportation while the wealthier in the suburbs will be able to own and use cars. The poorer in Europe are now in a justified uproar as they see that these woke liberal policies squeeze them and not he rich, furthering social injustice and wealth inequality. Do the left even realize that their policies make social injustice and wealth inequality worse? Do they not realize that poor families of six will have to go to the grocery and bring their groceries home either walking, using the bus, or riding bikes?

    "In an effort to ease traffic congestion and curb greenhouse gas emissions causing climate change, municipalities from Barcelona to Brussels have embarked on what has been called a “transportation revolution.” Urban centers across the continent have adopted a host of innovative schemes designed to steer vehicles out of crowded downtowns, creating so-called 15-minute cities — where cars aren’t needed and services like banks, barbers, grocery stores and doctors are a short stroll or bike ride away."

    And, I was wondering if you are against social injustice and wealth inequality or not.

    Liberals don't care about the poor. They never have. When poor folks complain, liberals act like all they have to do is pull up the bootstraps, cause these costs don't adversely affect them. Typical stuff.

    The reality of EVs is they are immensely impactful to the environment far beyond their marketing. And there is no sustainable power grid options to further assist in supporting their use going forward.

    You want a Democrat to sound like a Republican on personal responsibility? Get them talking about the screw job to the poor on matters of climate change policies.

    it’s kinda like if you want a Democrat to sound like a Republican on how great America is: get them talking about illegal immigration: magically POOF America turns from a racist nation that oppresses minorities into “Please welcome in to our great country where you can live a better life!”

    LOL

    Maybe not but BOTH do have something to do with the 15 minute city concept spreading by the woke left.

    Are you against social injustice?

    Are you against wealth inequality?

    There, I separated them for you.

    Then you should be against woke liberal policies that lead to social injustice and wealth inequality.

    Traffic congestion is a legit issue. You can only add so many lanes before you run out of space between the buildings. What then, bulldoze the buildings?

    Its one of many issues where too many people living too close together necessitates laws that would otherwise seem ridiculous, like making it really hard to own a car or travel. But then again, thats why I dont live in the city. Get out if you can, because that **** is only getting worse.

    Leftists love poor people.

    They love them so much, they'd like more of them.

    It does beg the "minions" philosophy of the plantation for sure. Measuring your worth by the number of slaves you own... Typical democrats.

    While not fully conscience to many and little understood by most, this is the whole point, and right in line with the UN's Agenda 21 or its later incarnation Agenda 2030.
