The Electric School Bus saga
WATCH/READ: Another EV Bus Boodoggle Brought to You by Virtue-Signaling Midwits
David Blackmon

WATCH/READ: Kamala Harris and Jennifer Granholm worked hard to force electric school buses on unsuspecting school districts to promote their Green New Deal fantasies.



Speaker 1: Winthrop public schools were awarded four electric school busses in June 2023.

Speaker 2: We thought it was really exciting. I mean, it was really cool.

Speaker 1: But as the bumps in the road increase. Our confidence is waning in these particular electric busses. Since getting the busses, the district has experienced issues. The biggest malfunction happened last December when a bus shut down during a run. When Winthrop Transportation Director Joshua Wheeler tried to drive the bus back to school, it happened again.

Speaker 2: Put it off into the side of the road, into a snowbank, and to help bring me to a stop before I came into an intersection.

Speaker 1: Now they've been off the roads since. After the incident, they sent the busses back to the manufacturer, Lion Electric, to be fixed. But they still failed inspections. Even after additional repairs to pass inspection, the busses are still experiencing mechanical issues. This also comes as Lion Electric is facing increasing financial troubles, temporarily laying off.

[End]

Naturally, the electric busmaker in question here, Lion Electric, filed for bankruptcy in December, but not before it had wasted millions and millions of IRA subsidies thanks to the Democrat party.

Thus, the electric vehicle grift facilitated by Biden/Harris/Granholm comes to its inevitable conclusion one more time, with yet another school district run by virtue-signaling-obsessed midwits left holding the bag.

Make no mistake about it: Stories of woe like this one will only accelerate from here. There will be thousands of them.

That deep blue spot in a purplish state, Asheville, NC, had similar problems with some city transit buses they bought.

I'd never heard the term "midwits" before, but the "mid" part is far too generous. The writer may not wish to say "fuckwit," but all of those people's combined wits wouldn't fill a thimble.

The name Granholm is synonymous with trainwreck.
Ask us in Michigan after experiencing her eight year term as Governor.

Take heart though, she was Canadian born so she cannot run for President.

Need someone to follow the money and research how much the company and its chief officers / owners "donated" to DNC members who made the subsidies happen. Wink

If you took all the knowledge that Granholm has about energy and stuffed it up a gnats ass, it would be like putting a BB into a boxcar!
