What ideas are being forced upon the people at gunpoint? Electric cars?
As it stands now, non EV car buyers are forced to pay for EV technology thanks to govt mandates requiring manufacturer compliance (loads gun and points it at GM,Ford,VW, Toyota, et al. and John Q Public car buyer at large)
Those who actually purchase an EV enjoy a taxpayer subsidy thanks to anyone who pays taxes (points gun at taxpayer head).
Do you live in Afghanistan? In the West laws are enforced in courts, even in China actually. If you violate the law, you will pay a fine or go to jail in severe cases. That's it.
There is no point in putting it as if any laws a part of the population doesn't like are dictatorial or something like that.
Norway is increasingly seen as the envy of the world. It is FIRST place in the world happiness index. It is #5 in median income (U.S. is behind at #8). It has a debt-to-GDP ratio of -90.5 percent. In other words it has a national surplus, not a national debt.
Norway has obviously made a lot of good decisions. Now they are making another good decision by banning the sale of fossil-fuel-powered vehicles by 2025. Not the 2030 plan of Gov. Jay Inslee, which was seen as way too ambitious and radical but 2025.
Can someone please explain to me why we are not following Norway's lead????
