The WEF doesn't like the idea of too many people driving (or the idea of one eating meat) - the planet can only be saved when their members are the only drivers and consumers of 'terrible planet destroying creatures'.

It's not just about independence - it's more about choice or lack of - sadly choices are being attacked - if you can't see such, you're accepting lack of choices as a good thing. Your big stick approach is an acceptance of lack of choice. Your choice I guess - and that's the point - choice should be offered then decide accordingly. Far too much of this 'save the planet garbage' if one cares to look at the hypocrisy of those pushing these 'changes'. And btw, go and buy that EV if that's what you choose - give the same choice to others should they choose otherwise.

The person at my insurer handling payments recently told me that many people have trouble to pay their insurance bill for their home and contents blaming the huge price hikes. EV car insurance isn't cheap either - nor are EV's themselves - as many are finding out. At least I don't have a mortgage on my ICE and I'm not feeding the bank with EV loans with their interest costs and all - that's a choice I can still make. AIMO

Yes thats probably the best scenario, people getting rid of their cars and relying on public transport in electric busses or ev ubers.
That makes far more sense than being an independant thinker and stubbornly refusing to give up a filthy Ice car.
