New Yorkers love robber barons and maximizing profit at every turn.

Why would we expect them to get angry at businesspeople enriching themselves at the expense of everyone else if that's what they all want to do?

Why do people in major cities like New York and Las Vegas love getting conned?

Nothing really wrong with florida.

I say this, because I've come across genuine morons who live in Texas and have the nerve to scoff at florida while ignoring their shithole state and the one directly to the east of it.

People with garages big enough for a nice car

What the fuck? I can tell you don't have a garage, because for 99% of them size isn't going to impact the 'niceness' of the car you can have in it.

Challenge: People who lived in major cities understanding that there's more to life than what goes on in them.

Level: Impossible.

Or maybe talk to manufacturers who won’t sell a basic EV that isn’t overpriced?

This is huge. Keep in mind, every additional bullshit "feature" in your car will end up costing you more than it costs the business.

This is why we've been conditioned to accept so much superfluous bullshit as possible.

You can get electric for only a slightly higher cost than gas

Bullshit.

Have you seen America? It's huge.

There's also way more to America than the metropolitan cities you've been conditioned to prioritize.

Don't get me wrong, most of them spend money like morons while complaining they need more.

However, electric vehicles are still just too expensive of an investment to justify to the average American.

This could probably be fixed if the leeches maximizing profit off of them made less profit, but why would they do that unless they're forced to?

No, it's the price.

and somehow get it to stay powered for so many hours.

You can plug it into an outlet to power it.

All platforms are just becoming censorship hellholes for the owners.
