It may be true that we are often forced to suffer fools, for a time, but what about dipshits you can’t cut loose? I refer to the New England states, excluding New Hampshire.

As Joe Biden’s gas reaches for the Left’s price-point G-Spot the Twitter-titter of giggling schoolgirls has filled the echo chamber with the glories of Electric vehicles (EVs). Not so fast.

Electric Vehicles (EVs) have always been a boutique item for well-to-do virtue signalers.
