My gosh, imagine the mental gymnastics one has to go through to hold these two beliefs at the same time:

  • Electric cars are the future
  • The government shouldn’t be forcing electric cars on people

Anyone who can believe these two things at once is either insane, stupid, or just more complex than a looney tunes character.

Someone who holds both beliefs at once presumably expects a future where people buy electric cars because they prefer (and can afford) electric cars. Could you elaborate on why that is an absurd thing to believe or why I'm off the mark here?

I'm not saying I agree with the above notion; personally, I'd prefer a future with fewer cars in general per capita, though I have no idea how likely either future is.

I'd say you're right, not sure what that guy is talking about.
