The leeches are not the poor uneducated thug classes. Its the over-educated test-taking class that has no real world skills other than paper pushing and mistaking maps for real location, while occupying positions of high authority in DC.

Yes, EVs have "low" maintenance but they are not without maintenance and other usual car issues like A/C, accident related fixes etc. Owning Tesla outside of Warranty is worse than owning Benz outside warranty. Unless Tesla e

Look for a used Chevy Volt, you should be able to get it around 10K USD (2012-2014 models). I am not fan of Nissan Leaf earlier models given the range anxiety and their battery being air-cooled, which you can find for almost rock bottom pri

>> And Japan did Pearl Harbour, so what? Japan did Pearl Harbour .. but you left out Hiroshima and Nagasaki! >> The idea that you apply sanctions for historical reasons is absurd. Cuba was 90 miles away from mainland US in 1960s
