U.S. President-elect Donald Trump does not intend to spare crude oil from his planned 25% import tariffs on Canada and Mexico, sources told Reuters on Tuesday, as the oil industry warned the policy could hurt consumers, industry and national security. Canada and Mexico are the top sources of U.S. crude oil imports, together accounting for around a quarter of the oil U.S. refiners process into fuels like gasoline and heating oil, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
No, that kinda fucks over most of us who are just getting by. If someone can’t afford to buy gas how would they be able to afford an EV? We need the prices to drop to a level everyone wants to buy an EV, not make every option cripplingly expensive.
As much as I like electric I’d rather take an old car I can fix myself and get parts for that has a radio. No fucking way am I driving a data mining machine. I also plan to bike alot when I loose weight to ride so that won’t be much of a problem.
sadly iv’e yet to find a bike that can handle my weight without the tires bottoming out, i also need to work on my cardio as i am getting quite out of breath easily from any heavy exertion. Ive been to the cardiologist and he said my heart is fine other than possible bicuspid aortic valve so im not sure what is causing it other than being lazy for too long.

It also sucks for people who don’t want to buy a rolling surveillance machine.

There are electric conversion kits for certain cars.
Riding a bike is a great way to lose weight, so no time like the present!

What about those fat wheel bikes? They’re more comfortable too. Not great for commuting, but fun to ride around.
Yeah that’s the only thing i haven’t tried yet, but they are quite pricey. Ill have to see if i can save up for something like that.
