All the way back to bison hunting, wheat farming and the cold war ND has a history of boom and bust economic cycles. https://blogs.und.edu/uletter/2020/09/sixty-years-of-boom-and-bust-the-impact-of-oil-in-north-dakota-published-by-und-digital-press/

I hear from a lot of the off road community I am in are constanting saying “the grid is not ready for EVs” then I say lets build that infrastructure with american jobs and american workers that can’t be outsourced. They say no.

My bad hill is that I love my Jeep JKU and use it off road, find it comfortable and incredibly utilitarian.

jalopnik comments are very much not a safe space. People will tell you are wrong if you comment what you ate for breakfast.

how about the dakotas that was also on the list.

drive 50 miles of rural roads to get there. 

I meet a lot of rural people that live way up north in the dakotas, mn, wi and they see EVs as a threat to their very way of life and culture. Everything they do is gas powered: work, school, church, groceries, hobbies all of it.

no argument from me on that one. 

I would love an old fiat panda but my wife has more common sense than I do. 

you describe a fantastic system sadly now with entire conpanies revolving around the current quarter profits, nobody is being long term anymore. 

my wife is a nurse and the staffing level is beyond dangerous. The suits are effing up healthcare. funny thing is that even the nonpofits are run this way as the executive salaries are wild. 

This is like the makers of Hawk the Slayer saying they had the most influential movie of 1980, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080846/ and not empire strikes back.

This, I hate streaming platforms that seem to play a movie if you even stop on the thumbnail for a second or autoplay the next thing it thinks you would like. 

I pecifically do not care, I was making a cybertruck joke.

One moral of the story. Do not go wheeling with your buddy with a cybertruck. They will get stuck AND they will not be able to unstick you.

or strait up stopped it before it was over. 

Happy to read that the drama, over the song that made me swear off classic rock radio stations forever, is finely over.

The picture made me miss my 78 vw rabbit. 

That global war on terror tan is everywhere.

Ok more people get puking drunk on cheap beer, it does not make it good or better than aged single malt.
