But still smash.

Many Latinos say 'Latinx' offends or bothers them. 

Mark Hugo Lopez, director of race and ethnicity research at Pew Research Center, which found in 2020 that only 3 percent of the population call themselves Latinx, uses even more levels of specificity. He said he describes himself as Chicano with Mexican American audiences in California, but as Mexican American with audiences in Texas, and Hispanic with audiences of Cubans in South Florida. "Finally, if someone who isn’t American asks me about my identity. I say I am American.”

Most Latinos don't like the term, but they don't know any better.  Good thing the white liberal saviors can educate them.

LOS ANGELES — An openly transgender cleric from San Francisco, who made history last year with an appointment as a bishop by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, has resigned amid allegations of racism after firing the pastor of a predominantly Latino congregation.

The Rev. Megan Rohrer, who uses the pronoun "they,” led one of the church’s 65 synods, overseeing nearly 200 congregations in Northern California and northern Nevada. They were elected in May 2021 to serve a six-year term as bishop of the Sierra Pacific Synod.

Good job San Francisco 

 

 

I’m shocked.  Not prosecuting criminals seemed like a great idea.

Not me.  Mine will be charged almost exclusively with solar power.  

 

But then again, I'm a Ford guy and a bit more progressive.

Yep, that's the issue.  Electric cars aren't a bad thing but they don't solve the problem.

Even if electricity is produced exclusively from fossil fuels the amount of carbon emissions is significantly less than a gas powered vehicle.

0.85 lbs CO2 per kwH average for US

0.34 kwH per mile for Tesla model 3

0.29 lbs CO2 per mile (does not account for transmission losses 2015 reference says average is 6% loss so 0.31 lbs/mile?)

Average car emits 404g/mile (22mpg) assumption converts to 0.89 lbs/mile

 

So even a more efficient efficient (non-hybrid) car is about 33% more emissions.

You're just shifting it from the car to the power generation.

Not sure how that counters the point about it still being cleaner.
