18. No money for that, and certainly no money to pay even more electric costs. I'd love an EV, too.

The reality is, there's not much relief for the poor folks, even the working poor. We can't just hop out and buy a car whenever we please. We can't afford to move to better conditions, where there are better jobs, houses, government. It's not just packing up and heading out, though I'm guessing most of you have no clue.

If you can afford it, why haven't you done it by now? Honestly. Don't like where you live, don't like the job you have, don't like your car, your house, your neighbors? Then move. It's what we're told every time we have hard times, with no concern about how expensive that is, how hard it is to leave everything you know, with no hope anything is going to be better.

I swear, sometimes the rank and file liberals are just elitist creeps who like to watch their poorer liberal neighbors suffer.
