I think that has more to do with the big picture, global politics, the economy, etc.

A bigger impact on the economy is private equity and C grades only chasing next quarters profit margin to appease shareholders, get rid of anyone with experience as they cost too much, strip a company of all value to cash out and let someone else deal with the carcass left.

Climate change is fake, and is created by the government using weather manipulation technology like seen in Operation Popeye and HAARP. The idea is to create artificial Scarcity and resources, and put everybody at the behest of the government and their demands. This means that we will be relying on the government for basically every type of need, including food and housing*.

Government a around the world are creating food scarcity to force people into eating bugs (because climate change!) and we don’t think electric cars (pushed by these same countries) are a part of this too?

That would imply a level of competence at scale which I've yet to see from either Government or even private industry.

Another Jaguar EV Barbecue.

Electric vehicle catches fire at West Virginia auto dealer



In entirely unrelated news:

Jaguar Ending Production of Gas Cars Entirely before New EVs Arrive
Jaguar is planning a phoenix-like rebirth as the British automaker executes its plan to become an EV-only manufacturer by 2025. This will involve killing off its current lineup while also shifting towards higher-cost vehicles.
. The I-Pace, first introduced in 2018, has a 90.0-kWh battery pack that provides up to 246 miles of range according to EPA ratings—hardly a standout number in today's luxury EV market, especially given the I-Pace's $73,275 starting price.
https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a6...uction-ending/

Time to short Jaguar Land Rover stock.

Sad to see Jaguar is going down the rabbit hole. At one point in my life, I wish I can be a Jaguar owner. But I think it will never happen in this life.

Yeah, that's been happening on the business side for nearly ever. I'm talking about a fundamental change to how the economy works.

LOL, I don't even watch the news (operation Mockingbird) I'm not even politically affiliated.
I just find is silly that people will believe anything the government sells them, and call the people who question anything "crazy" and "conspiracy theorist"

If they lied to you before, why would they stop now?

Lying and hiding stuff yes goes without saying - being able to pull off full blown conspiracy type activities require levels of knowledge and ability we'd normally associate with a deity.

Government uses news and social media to spread propaganda:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mockingbird

Government has weather manipulation technology, and weather control has always been a goal of world wide goverments:

https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/docu...change-weather

Quote:
This cooperative effort has grown out of the beginning made by President Kennedy in his speech to the United Nations on September 25, 1961 He said then that our country "... would propose cooperative efforts between all nations in weather predictions and eventually in weather control .... "

...

In 1961 and 1962, the United Nations called upon the World Meteorological Organization to develop a program of cooperation that would strengthen weather service and research. The Organization responded with a concept of a world weather system and has designated Moscow and Washington as two world weather centers.

Dear Mr. Secretary:

As you are fully aware, we have over the past few years witnessed a substantial increase in international cooperation in weather matters. The nations of the world are exchanging meteorological data and pooling their activities to a greater extent than ever before to provide early warnings of severe storms and other calamities of nature, to further the safety and efficiency of air and sea travel, and to promote industry, commerce, and agriculture within their own borders. The most recent significant event in international weather cooperation has been the agreement among the member nations of the World Meteorological Organization to accelerate the development of a World Weather System...


Weather was weaponized in Vietnam:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Popeye

They tested (and can) modify hurricanes to be more powerful:

They have headphones that can read minds. What used to be scifi is now reality. Whatever you see that the consumer section has now, they (government) has had for 20 years prior at least.
