This has been in the works by the left for a very very long time. Ever read a news paper from the early 70s today it’ll read just like it reads now about climate change agendas. It’s amazing .
Even in about 76 they said we had 10 years to live. .

This song is all about gas cars being illegal and the new cars are made to withstand a 50 mph crash without damage so they are paid by the government to find anyone driving a gas car illegally and smash into it. That’s why he has to run from them they will sustain no damage but he’ll be wrecked. Enjoy the song. |
It was incremental. The main target in the 60's was to make cars highly regulated and thus more expensive to reduce consumption.
The book "unsafe at any speed" and the coordinated media pile on was a direct attack on GM's overwhelming market share, all while ignoring the other cars that had the exact same risk as the Corvair.
They started going after Tetraethyl lead in the late 30's and finally got the scalp through regulation in the early 1970's. We got the Malaise era and a 55 MPH national speed limit in exchange while multiple FAKE energy crisis's were played up in the media... "running out of oil"..."Peak oil".. All BS, while the population was treated to video loops of lines stretching around the block for a couple of gallons of gas... THEN the simultaneous push for the adoption/acceptance of mass transit.
The media next attacked the PINTO and then went after the Silverado's side saddle tanks setting up a rigged test to cause an explosion.
The theory: The more we regulate the more expensive the vehicle will become the less of them will be on the road.... .
Of course the banking market replied with ever increasing auto loan repayment durations.
What we are about to experience is way different. If we fail to resist this now on multiple levels within a generation all cars both ICE and EV will be restricted as to who can own/operate.
The key to compliance is a Central Digital Currency they get that and you just walked into a form of slavery for which there is a slim margin for any return.
