I'm liberal. Open source EVs I can own and without the nonsense overhead of corrupt manufacturing. New ice vehicles are proprietary connected garbage too.
Without standardization where parts are second and third source available, and any shade tree mechanic can service it, this is a dystopian nightmare with no future. This stupid oversight is poised to create extreme poverty and wealth disparity. Every connected proprietary car has no long term value and will never be some kid's first car. It will never be the single mom's car, or the elderly man's. All of these people and circumstances are what have been sold out to lower levels of poverty than anything witnessed in over a century. I care about these people. Fuck proprietary cars and all authoritarians on the Right and Left. Intelligent people are liberal and smart enough to say I don't have all the answers, and no one else does either. People with strong opinions and bold answers are the biggest monsters, harming everyone on the margins outside of their limited perspective view. I'm all for effective solutions, but I'm not selling autonomy and self determination to get there.
This post isn't about liberals, it's about Liberals, the political party in Canada.
They recently announced 5 major projects they were going to fund, one of which is related to increasing LNP (aka Liquid Natural Gas, aka methane) production. They said they are considering a high-speed rail corridor in the second phase of projects, but increasing the amount of methane Canada can produce/sell was a higher priority.
Ah. We humans use the dumbest names for political camps by allowing such spurious intuitive labels. Even if the intentions are honest and straight forward at first, no one is static and free from the forces of change. One day, people will reject such primitive nomenclature, and look back on the present with pitiful disdain.
That said, Canada must build pipelines due to the way they are integrated with the USA. Nearly all of y'alls capacity routes through parts of out fascist portalet netherworld below. Y'all have been extorted by the swampy Trurd water. Sorry. I can't fix the inbred-quality, reality TV educated populism, and inherited wealth cancers. Chemotherapy is slow death. But y'all can recover, ole Maple. We're late stage two-party terminal, with aggressive gerrymandering shutting down our vital organs.
