Let's leave partisan politics out of HN, shall we? Plus, the "conservatives" you are referring to have never believed that "old ways are the best ways" in relation to technology. They're not making some kind of exception for cars.

What does that even mean? Ban non-electric cars? Ban all cars? What old ways?

- olalonde 4y agoI don't know what you mean by "code words that make you comfortable" so I guess you're wrong about that. I would have made the same comment if you had made a derisive remark on the "liberals". Just because it's all over HN doesn't mean we shouldn't try to do better.
