All that we want to do is see to it that we live another 100 years is that so god damn polarizing?!?!
But what if global warming is a hoax and we improve things for no reason?! /s
What if we do all this and all we got was more sustainable ways of living where depended less on complex geopolitical agreements with dictators? That would suck right /s
It’s all about the Petrodollar and America retaining the worlds reserve currency
I thought so too, but it doesn't even make sense, because the only one they're hurting this way is themselves.
If they don't adopt EVs, it will be to their disadvantage in the long run.
"Long run" what's that? The only thing that matters is quarterly profits.
unfortunately
Petrodollar shit is all old Soviet Cold war propaganda. It actually makes very little sense. Moreover, having the world's reserve currency is not really the benefit people make it out to be. The dollar is powerful because the scale of the US economy is enormous, and the US has a lot of friends. But like, the Euro or GBP doesn't suffer because random third countries don't settle trades with it. And the reason why eg, China's currency is shit in comparison is because it's overtly manipulated and China's autocratic instincts scare people away from using Chinese bonds as an inflation resistant cash proxy. The same exact things were true with the USSR, which is why they needed to push conspiracies about the omnipotence of the dollar.
Idk, seemed to really fuck with Russia for a bit when the US froze their assets.
