Oh definitely. I bought an electric vehicle last year and I sure as shit didn’t go for a tesla.

I know but it’s also a bit of a cop out from the ones responsible for this. There are controllable factors that the state just ignored for years on end.

I’m all for renewable energy and limiting climate change as much as we can but theres a reason thousands of homes doesn’t go up in flames in Sweden or Finland. Both of those countries manage their forests and does fire prevention regularly.

And probably will be our cross to bear forever.

It’s the ironic thing about power. Generally the people who end up in power are the ones seeking it and they’re generally the people you least want to lead you.

I’m not going to laugh at you. I like having discussions with people that see things differently than myself.

I definitely agree that Trump is a fifth columnist as he’ll work for whoever pays him well or who can give him more power. He doesn’t give two shits about the US.

My entire point is I don’t think he does it to destroy stuff or to be evil. He does things purely based on what he perceives can benefit him. Often those things won’t actually benefit him, but he’s not that smart so he’ll do it anyway.

The epstein scandal is a good example. I doubt most of the people who partook in the sex with underage girls was thinking "let me destroy as much as I can of this young girls life. They just see a pretty young girl they’d like to fuck and they don’t care about the consequences.

Generally I think a lot of our conspiracy theories tend to make things more complicated than they are. Most of the time, evil is being done because someone wants more money, power or sex.

I’m not arguing against the fact that climate change is real but looking at fires and going “see, global warming* is about as silly as showing a snowball and going” see, no global warming. "

I don’t think Trump is actively trying to harm the country. If he could make more money and get more power by being green and woke he’d do that.

I just think he does whatever gets him more money and power and he does not care about the consequences to the nation at all.

Honestly, looking from the outside on US politics I have a hard time remembering a presidential candidate, besides Bernie Sanders, that seem to care for the average people living in the US.

Now that no EVs get subsidies they’ll have to compete directly with ICE cars which is going to be tricky in the US I think.

I’m going to be very surprised if tesla sales won’t suffer in the US. Maybe not as much as legacy OEM EVs though.

Obviously they experience fires, but they’re not nearly as devastating as the LA fire because Finland does actual fire prevention.

I’m sure global warming doesn’t help us with fires like this but saying it’s a “undeniable sign of climate change” is plain bullshit.

There’s a reason they don’t have these devastating fires in Sweden or Finland…

For such a minor infraction? Absolutely. He even said he’d change for the next day.

If they hadn’t reacted like they did no one would have ever heard about this.
