The Trump administration is shutting down all federal government buildings' EV chargers and expected to sell off the GSA's newly bought EVs.

      I doubt he’ll mind, considering he’ll buy the assets for pennies on the dollar.

        I thought they won’t even buy back their own vehicles anymore.

      That was 400 million. It looks like they are denying it, but there’s still a procurement for 400 million of “armored electric trucks”. https://checkyourfact.com/2025/02/18/fact-check-state-department-400-million-worth-tesla-trucks/

      No, that was canceled after they were publicly called out. We need to stay vigilant

          Which means that other companies at least hypothetically can bid.

              Hey bud, fuck off. The best way to fight fascism besides literal warfare is to shine a light directly on its shittiness. This change in wording may seem small, but we need to fight the changes that are coming tooth and nail. Condescendingly discouraging all nonviolent resistance by acting as if it’s useless/hopeless is a great way to make violence inevitable.

      The same reason Regan never put back up the solar panels Carter had installed.

        What do you mean “never put back”

        They dont uninstall themselves between adminstrations. Its an intentional act to remove them.
