As much as I do not enjoy being spied on, it seems they’re just banning them on the presumption that they might spy.
On the other hand, it sure would be nice to be able to fucking afford an electric car. I give exactly zero fucks about the US automakers. If they’re going to keep up insanely high prices, that’s their problem.
So essentially we’re restricting American’s access to electric cars, under the guise of danger of a fear we have, in order to protect businesses from having to adapt. Glad, as usual, that the needs of the 1% are out weighing the needs of the entire fucking country. Again.
