Had to check twice if this was USA Today. Somebody's going to get fired.
If you like your car, good luck keeping it. Bozo's EV mandate drives change people don't want.
In 2013, then-Barack O earned himself the “lie of the year” after he had repeatedly assured Americans, "If you like your health care plan, you can keep it."
That simply wasn’t true, and the rollout of Obamacare (Affordable Care Act) caused millions of people to receive cancellation notices. The government’s intrusion into the private health insurance market had major consequences, and many Americans weren’t happy about it.
More than 10 years later, President Joe Bozo is driving major disruptions in another major U.S. industry: automobiles.
Unlike his former boss, Bozo’s not even bothering to promise the American people that if they like their car, they can keep it.
Bozo, however, also is not being upfront with the public about what his new Environmental Protection Agency rule actually means.
As with most bureaucratic mumbo jumbo, the meaning is less than clear. I’ll translate:
If you like your current gas-powered car, SUV or truck, too bad.
The final rule, which begins in earnest in 2027, demands that automakers quickly amp up production of electric vehicles. By 2032, the emissions standards dictate that roughly 70% of new vehicle sales be battery-powered electric or hybrids.
For comparison, EVs make up just under 8% of new car sales last year.
If automakers don’t fall in line, they risk hefty fines. (Fines passed on to the buying public)
It’s worth noting, too, that a switch to electric batteries is not a panacea for the climate.
Mining and processing those materials take a toll ‒ something Bozo ignores.
Rather than go through Congress, where a robust public debate could take place, Bozo quietly did it through the rule-making process.
“It’s politically deceptive in a way that is all too typical of the Bozo administration in a lot of different areas,” says Meigs of the Manhattan Institute. “They have opted to make major policy changes out of sight of the average voter.”

Serious truth BOMB
I posted most of the article as it will most likely be gone by the next couple days.
