Good for the economy but the pills will likely cost more; a win/ lose game.i am taking a generic from India that costs me $30 for a three month supply. The brand name one costs $400 a month.

I dont recycle as the majority of recycling ends being sold to 3rd world countries and ends up in the ocean. See, I am an environmentalist. And fúck paper straws.

It isn’t a conservative/liberal thing as far as I can tell. I guess my point didn’t come across right. You know I don’t care about political sides. I just find it ironic that Tesla was the champion for the environment in many eyes and it seems to be those same groups that want it destroyed.

Same way I find it ironic how Joe Rogan was a Bernie communist until his ratings sunk. Now that he’s changed what he spits out he’s held in high regard by so many conservatives.

I guess my point is that it’s ironic, and I guess amusing, to me how someone is perceived simply by that little (D) or (R) associated with their name.

Unfortunately I disagree. I think every single **** thing is a liberal or conservative thing nowadays. it's better for ratings and campaign contributions that way.

I think that almost everybody is an environmentalist to some degree. The rich ones recycle. The middle class drink out of paper straws. Poor people don't have enough money to worry about the environment.

Yes, initially environmentalists, the crazy bastards you see protesting on the street, we're all about the Tesla. Now they're all against it, and at the same time conservatives are all the sudden buying Teslas and cyber trucks and bullshit like that.

I think the bottom line is that it is driven by political ideology at the end of the day, and that is what people associate most strongly with. Most things that most people do align with some sort of construct of what their ideology is. They think it's based on their morals, and it's not. It's based on what channel they tune into. Sad but true.

Yes W and yes Rusty, I know there are exceptions. I would like to think that I am one.

For us it was “Waverly”. The infamous Waverly State Mental Hospital. Closed down in the ‘60s but is now a tourist attraction because it’s considered one of the most haunted places in America.

Not really man. For years, conservatives have been saying that electric powered cars charging on coal-powered home charging units do not exactly reduce carbon emissions. Of course, we know that's false because before you had coal-powered houses and oil-powered cars, now you just have coal powered houses, so it's a net positive.

However, we live in a society where we can have our cake and eat it too because the truth is what we decide per situation. It doesn't have to, in fact it shouldn't, remain consistent between situations. Thank you, social and traditional media.

I for one I care about the environment and believe in global warming it's because, you know, science. I will also not be purchasing anything from corky Magoo. His public presence and his reputation used to be a net positive for his companies. now it is a net negative. Oh well. Besides, there are hundreds of options now. I can buy rivian or a Chevy or a screaming ass Mopar electrocat Charger. Given the choices, why would I purchase something from someone who I loathe?

Maybe some big fat giant ass rebates would motivate me. Other than that, nah.
