Websters definition of collusion: secret agreement or cooperation especially for an illegal or deceitful purpose, acting in collusion with the enemy.

I won't tell you where to put your "leftist thought police" comment.

At least there's some possible evidence of this collusion.

Major car companies colluding ... yeah and ?

If anyone is under the impression that major companies, not necessarily just in the car industry; don't collude in some way, shape or form ...

... I like the way Bloomberg threw in the drop in stock facts. Basically telling anyone it's a good time to pick up some stock at a lower rate; due to this small blip on these companies overall track record. It's not like they all won't weather this short lived storm and rebound soon enough.

Your post (like the movie), is a bit "tin foil hat...."

Oil is no longer used, except in a couple cases where the community served is remote (AK, HI for instance.) And electric cars are more efficient in that they turn almost all of the battery's energy into motion, while gas/diesel cars convert around 40% of the energy content into motion.
