Wonder if there are electric cars that can at least a little bit compare to the modavility/reparability of older fossil fuel powered cars. I'm not that into cars myself but from what I've learned from a friend it seems like they really just don't compare in that regard.

I still find it unfortunate that while they semi address the fuel problem electric cars still contribute just as much to plastic pollution because they still use tires.

I'm sure the "Swasticar" phenomenon has something to do with that too. It certainly affects us here in Europe too.

It's crazy how the media (of all stripes and sizes) often just memory-holes the big things.

This is similar to how discussions of Canada breaking up with the USA somehow always focus on the tariffs, and skip over the whole threat of invasion part of the story.

However, blocking out honors might be more a human nature thing, than just a media thing.
