> Do you think it would be good for a powerful globalized government to fund free electrical cars for the people?

Any organization large enough to do so would be fearsome, bureaucratic, unpredictable, and with an agenda of its own.

I feel voiceless as one of 300 million US citizens. I have no desire to dilute my voting power by another factor of 20.

see this is the problem I have with progressives. Your entire paradigm relies on collectivism. No, the government shouldn't take my money and decide how to spend it "for the good of the people". People should decide for themselves and the market will be forced to reflect people's real desires rather than some artificial notion of "good". Who are you to decide what's good for me?

Gasoline isn't a problem. Eventually supply will be constricted and demand will slow down. It's not going to be The Grapes of Wrath overnight, we'll be forced to gradually move to more efficient transportation. Economics trumps feel good social programs.

I'm only 20% collectivist, the rest is ideal Austrian economics.

prometheus beat me to all the anarcho-libertarian points. good on ya.

I have a dream, a dream that someday people will actually pay attention to what economists tell us.
