Thread regarding Ford layoffs

NPR Story about "Clueless" Jennifer Granholms (Secretary of Energy) EV road trip!

I could have told you this without taking a road trip. Dirty bathrooms and homeless folks around charging stations will be the death of the EV. Nobody will want that carnival experience every time you stop to top off...I can barely deal with the gas stations.

Best part is one of her staff drove ahead to claim a spot at a charging station in a ICE vehicle. So there is a great idea... get a clunker EV and hang out at charging stations and auction off your spot.

@3hir+1oydjPBL. Please don't include yourself as someone with a functioning brain at the company, since you are clearly part of Ford's recent "success." Why would you feel the need to bring up the Orange man to deflect from the fact that Granholm was a disaster for Michigan industry as governor, and has completely turned her back on the state's workers as Energy secretary? Whether or not the Orange man was bad really doesn't change that. Yes, many of do want to succeed and have a life for our family in this state. You, however, are just a partisan hack.

Hmm it looks like @mkr+1oydjPBL does not want to answer my question regarding who pardoned Kwame Kilpatrick. Not surprising actually.
But I’ve received 2 down-votes for the post? For what?

The reason they don’t want to reply, including other dolts on here, is because the answer is Donald Trump. Yes the ‘Law and Order’ useless fat slob of a wanna be president somehow, for some reason, pardoned Kwame! Imagine that folks!

I ask you all this: What do you think would happen to you if you got convicted of the same crimes?

Trump humping id--ts don’t want to listen to facts though. He lost you GOP inbreeders the Senate and the House, and has helped effectively make MI a Blue state by causing overwhelming wins for the Dems in state legislatures.

To top off his loser term, he gave tax cuts to this company, and people like JF and BF, along with the other 2 DET auto companies.
What did they do with all that money you may ask?

Let me answer since @mkr+1oydjPBL is probably too busy watching Fox ‘news.’ They all bought back a record amount of stock in their own companies!

But you Orange cult dolts want to talk about Granholm and the DEMs of course.

Please leave this company and state immediately if this is how you feel. You add absolutely no value whatsoever or help any of us that have a functioning brain at this company, and who want to succeed and have a life for their family here in this state.

@mkr+1oydjPBL,

Thank you for the history lesson. Now please remind all of us who it was that pardoned Kwame Kilpatrick.

If you have selective memory and/or need help, let me know and I can answer the question for everyone.

G-ns, ICE vehicles, freedom, all your constitutional rights can and will be banned by the tyrants of the world like Granholm in the name of emergency and safety.

Just say thank you may I have another.

Jennifer granholm statement in 2002 as governor: “in four years you’re gonna be blown away”

Only a weak michigan replublican party enabled her to get re-elected to a second term. Michigan continued its steady decline. She dilly-dallied as the Kwame kilpatrick fiasco dragged on. She should have removed him from office long before his trial,

Her insane speech at the DNC convention in 2016 was bizarre. Why Biden chose her I will never know.
Her voice is so close to whitmer’s it’s hard to tell them apart.

I need a car that meets 100% of my driving needs not 80%. Living in the city with access to public transportation, and not having to drive to work, my wife and I are considering going down to one car. That one car won't be an EV, because we have no way of charging it at home in our apartment basement. We could perhaps at some point install electricity in all of the parking stalls but that would be a considerable expense.

I find it galling that so many proponents of EVS brag about being able to charge their second car EV in the garage of their non green home in the suburbs to make their daily work commute. We don't do any of that, and we can't make an EV work for our lifestyle.

I wonder if people - women especially - understand how vulnerable they will be sitting alone in their cars late at night for 20 - 30 minutes while their EV charges.

The most important line in that long, sad story:
“Riding along with Granholm, I came away with a major takeaway: EVs that aren't Teslas have a road trip problem.”

If it’s not a Tesla, step away from that EV…
