Pete Buttigieg Gets Hit With Reality Check After Issuing Idiotic Statement

Pete Buttigieg Gets Hit With Reality Check After Issuing Idiotic Statement

Poor Pete.

The Secretary of Transportation, who has presided over some of the worst disasters in transportation to date, disparaged Americans who don't want an electric car.

But things went south when 𝕏 users quickly destroyed his insulting push for electric vehicles

Buttigieg said, "I feel like it's the early 2000s, and I'm talking to some people who think that we can just have landline phones forever."

𝕏 users responded:

• "EV's are to gas powered cars what Fyre Fest was to music festivals. Sounded cool, had potential, but was built on false promises and artificial market forces."

• "Having a landline costs a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of what an electric vehicle costs on average. Otherwise, great analogy from the smartest guy in the administration."

• "Ok but you actually had reasons why cellphones were better than landlines. What’s your argument in favor of EVs other than 'they’re newer'?"

• "Remember when the government put artificial restrictions in place to coerce consumers away from landline phones while compelling us to buy cellular ones?"

Yep, that never happened. If the product is good, you don't need force.
