few years. Including the F150. Things are going to change in that area, but it took Elon Musk to get people to understand that it could be done. And giving the technology away in an effort to get car companies to get on board.

The US is a backward country. We're so far behind Europe and China. We need the infrastructure bill to pass. We need some huge changes, and we need to spend money where it needs to be spent. What we don't want to do is over tax the poor and middle class in doing so. That includes sales taxes, property taxes, fuel taxes, sin taxes, etc.
