Hertz to sell 20,000 EVs in shift back to gas-powered cars

[mikester]

and you still have to add 13% on top....
that's $13,000 on $100K vehicle
about $7,000 on 69K.....

I can buy a LOT of gas for $7K !

If you are driving a PU in Canada you probably already are spending $7K a year in fuel.

Oh, I am well acquainted CA socialized medicine, or....lack thereof.
Ours will be the same here soon, with many millions of freeloaders arriving from around the world.
So glad that I do have VA eligibility.

The ' new immigrants' or whatever is the correct term, get better care than this 70 year old that helps PAY for the system.
Sad thing is that NO 'level of guv' is building hospitals, hiring medicos to support the millions that have come in. Seems all they talk about is 'housing' yet there's a LOT of other stuff needed.

I can't figure out where this "new immigrant freeloading" is from. I see more white guys like this in tent cities here than new immigrants.

A lot of new immigrants come in with money, work their assess off, put their kids through school. Two and three families buy a new house and make do with minimal furniture until they can get ahead. Eventually they save up enough to buy their own homes.

A lot of white trash just comes with a sense of entitlement and no work ethic. They aren't the ones taking the jobs the new immigrants are willing to in order to get ahead.

Currently very different situation in USA than in Canada.
Canada ENFORCES immigration laws/requirements!
USA allows illegal walk ins by the millions,.....with ZERO consequences for the law breakers!

Saw the show. Going to make a lot of folks re-think purchasing an EV.
