Joe Biden has joined the UAW strikers. I’m not sure if he’s attending as a worker or as a motorized vehicle. Or maybe to apologize to the strikers, because if there’s anything really threatening their wages, if there’s anything that’s really putting their jobs at risk, it is the Democrats’ and globalist Left’s climate madness and psychotic obsession with all of us getting rid of our lovely gasoline cars and having to buy their remote-controlled cars. The postmodern Left needs to be constantly telling you what to do, because it considers you an imbecile incapable of making your own decisions.
Biden’s speech, with UAW cap and megaphone in hand (the steering wheel under his arm was missing), was that of an exalted trade unionist, although it is hard to imagine him as an autoworker with stained hands, trying to annoy Wall Street with nonsense that could have been penned by Bernie Sanders, before the first beer of the day. In reality, his speech was empty sophistry about the right to charge more, without bothering to analyze the industry’s real problem; knowing his current state, his advisers were probably thankful that he managed to correctly memorize the acronym “U,” “A,” and “W.”
The president talked about an auto industry that is doing great, and no one thought to ask him about the amount — in the millions — that the Big Three are losing thanks to the imposition of the electric car that his government so fervently defends. I’m afraid the car industry is doing as well as the electric car I borrowed the other day, which had the same range as a shelled snail, forcing me to make the trip by imitating the roar of the engine myself so as not to fall asleep with that depressing silence between hydraulic and electric, not to mention the number of people I came close to running over in the city because the pedestrians couldn’t hear me moving along the road. On uphill slopes, the short circuit was obvious. And on the highway the damned thing would decide to slow me down to avoid going into super-polluting mode. If erectile dysfunction were a car, it would be electric.
This thing, as the key to a plan to save the planet from a non-existent human threat, efficiently reflects the parallel universe of stupidity in which we live at the moment. It is a product that nobody wants and nobody likes, and it is so expensive that almost nobody can afford it, but the government wants to force its production and make us buy it. Since people don’t listen to them and demand is still derisory, instead of stopping to reflect, they are doubling down as if they were idiot European politicians. And since American consumers are still in the bad habit of exercising their freedom and remain uninterested in electricity, the government mobilizes all its media terminals to scare people with the devastating effects of global warming. The goal, in short, is to make you buy a damn battery-powered car. This irrational and lunatic passion that the globalist Left has for electric cars, renewable energies, and synthetic meat — which happens to be manufactured by Gates — leads us to the inevitable question: Who is getting rich from all of this? You see, I, unlike the Left, do not believe in the natural goodness of human beings. (READ MORE: UAW Strikers Strike Out)
If Biden cared at all about UAW workers, he would have told them the truth: “You can continue to strike for better wages, but if I am to remain in government, you will soon have no need because you won’t have any wages at all.” As the electric car becomes more prevalent — and due to it being much easier to assemble and manufacture — the number of workers needed in the industry will collapse, like the president does more every day.
In fact, I can confirm that the main explanation for Biden’s strange irruption among the strikers has nothing to do with the industry, nor with the workers, nor with tailpipes, but with the recent Washington Post poll that places him 10 points below Trump, and with an approval rating that has dropped to 37 percent. The former president had announced that he would visit the UAW workers in Detroit this Wednesday, and the White House has come out to deny that Biden’s unexpected entrance on the picket line has anything to do with the Republican candidate’s announcement. The good thing about their denial is that we no longer harbor any doubts that it was true.
