@JillFilipovic Here's a crazy thought, but maybe Biden's viewing things through the lens of what he things is best for the country, not necessarily what is best for him. I know this is an alien concept for some folks who cannot manage to see beyond themselves.

Why is EV "journalism" so shitty? You need 136K gas stations because that's the only way you can fuel your gas car. Most EV owners fuel-up every night, at home, and start the day with a full tank. If you're gonna count 136K gas stations, count every house with electricity🙄
