I don’t know why I am particularly sensitive to ‘influence operations’ today. The article on Austin earlier today set me off and now this article via Yahoo has kept the ball rolling.
Let me put the bottom line up front so that you can get a feel for how outrageous the reporting is: The connector the charging cable was damaged. No clue to how or why, but one thing for certain those keen eyed reporters at the ‘cool down’ know that it has it roots in ‘hate’. Their side wants you to know that the other side (whomever that might be) hates your side.
Extract from the article below. Before you become immersed in the ‘hate’, not that the author wants you to feel as if that not supporting sparky cars is unreasonable and tantamount to being a hate monger. Here goes:
Of course, targeting EV owners is nothing new. There have been many instances across the country where electric vehicles were subjected to keying, coal rolling, or other acts of hate.
While EVs are not always an affordable option, they provide significant benefits to the environment. The Environmental Protection Agency determined that transportation is the leading source of pollution in the United States, so relying on battery-powered vehicles can help reduce the emission of gases that contribute to climate change.
Still, there is a large contingent of folks who don’t care for protecting the environment and have a disdain for those who do.
One commenter on the Reddit post explained why these acts of hate won’t be going away any time soon and warned of the possible escalation of more dangerous behavior.
Dam folks the connector is damaged,. No need to start a war between the pencil necks and the rest of us. !
