Let's not forget the Leaf, which is totally viable for around town use with its 108 mile range. I have an older one and it's far more fun as a daily driver than my G35 which I loved as only Americans love cars. Gas engines can't touch EV acceleration from standstill.
As an antidote to the trumped up corporate narrative of who we are as a people, it's helpful to recall every so often that the best selling poet in the USA was Muslim: Why is Rumi the best selling poet in the US?.
The effects will not stop with this generation. The psychological wounds are transferred to people's kids in 1000 ways. I know adults today who grew up in peace and prosperity but carry the trauma (depression, suicidal thoughts, panic attacks) that their parents experienced in the death camps. Another family has been impacted for four generations by the experience of great-grandfather in WWI and the alcoholism, depression, and occasional violent temper that he carried home to his children. Naturally some of that got passed down the line, over and over again.
As a midwesterner of German heritage I have little doubt that some of the psychological strains running through my own family tree could be traced back to the 30 Years War or beyond.
If some politician with a spine and a heart were to propose a special tax to care for our wounded vets, I for one would be happy to pay it. In the meantime, the Wounded Warrior project does good work and can use your contributions.
