They only works if you're wealthy enough to be solely dependent on your EV. Everyone else who can't afford one or takes transit would be fucked
Imagine you're in a room and someone is pumping some gas into the room. SSsssssssssssssss.
The people pumping in the gas say "don't worry it'll be ok, just keep on doing your work, trust us!" But the smartest people in the room all say "yeah... that's gonna kill us eventually."
One guy starts kicking at the vent the gas is coming from.
Another guy says "keep that racket down! I want to be a good boy and get my work done!"
Who is the reasonable person in this scenario?
The reasonable person is the one who realizes they're all brainwashed into allowing themselves to be murdered and runs out of the room. Even the guy who kicks the machine is damning himself because the others are programmed to turn on him when he does, stopping his efforts and distracting him, guaranteeing he'll suffocate too.
It really would be better for us just to leave and start a new country elsewhere, or at least shoot the people pumping in gas from afar.
