    No free market? No competition? No capitalist innovation?? It’s time for westerners to activate their racism in order to make sense of this.

    So that poor people can’t afford the poorly made, ugly and over expansive EV, so they stick to old oil cars so then you can blame climate change on them and pass punishing laws while maintaining profit from the oil industry and the petit bourgeois who elected the neoliberals can feel like something is done about the planet and that they are the vanguard of saving the world
