Change

 

Most of us, who are tuned into life, understand that change is part of what we must live through...  that is not to say that we embrace all change or that we look forward to change, especially in the areas in which our lives are lived.

That is to say that WE LIKE THE STATUS QUO...

We can live with higher prices and we can live with lying and deceitful politicians...  BUT, when change is FORCED UPON US, we have a tendency to REBEL.

REBELLION to us is not violent but PASSIVE RESISTANCE...  similar to Ghandi's philosophy.

For instance, when our Federal Government orders us to BUY ELECTRIC VEHICLES...  then our first reaction is WHY???

• There are not enough charging stations
• Our energy is not adequate to support EVs
• EVs cost more than gasoline vehicles
• EV batteries are expensive
• EV batteries last 8-10 years
• Resale value of EV is very low

AND WHAT TYPICALLY FOLLOWS... is a bunch of Americans refuse to buy EVs thinking that we will only buy them when there is nothing left to buy.

Contrary to POLITICAL BELIEF, most Americans do not like BEING FORCED and do not like SPENDING MONEY unless they have to.

If you cannot understand why we feel this way, let me explain it this way...

• Average Annual Salary in 2024 is $60,000
• Average Family spends about $7,500/month
• Average Family spends about $90,000/year

NOTE:  this takes into consideration singles, married with and without children

THEREFORE:  If both couples in a marriage work, we can assume their income is $120,000....  minus the annual expenses leaves $30,000 or less because a female does not typically earn as much as a male...

From this $30,000, we subtract:

• extraordinary expenses
• vacations
• savings
• car purchases
• children in college

CAVEAT:  according to USA TODAY, the average family income in 2023 was about $75,000

Using this calculation, the average family in 2024 was IN DEBT ABOUT ($15,000) 

Therefore,

No money was actually available to purchase EVs....

More than likely this is the real reason why AMERICANS DON'T LIKE GOVERNMENTAL CHANGE...
