And and big Tech profit skyrocketed. We created a new billionaire every 30 hours.

Morano: "I'm arguing against this whole idea of the mandated electric cars. I think it should be a consumer choice. You cannot force the unnatural end the gas-powered cars and unfortunately due to this alleged climate crisis that's exactly where every government's policies are headed.

The problem comes when we're now giving up gas-powered cars with the illusion that the electric car is somehow going to be more environmentally friendly. Electric cars dig the earth. And that's the bottom line and also you have the battery disposal, you have recycling, you have also the cost-benefit issues. Is it actually going to -- if you buy an expensive electric car -- will you save money in the long run versus a cheaper gas-powered car? .. 

We look at it as dangerous to have reliance on China. There's concern over China is buying up U.S. farmland. There's concern about our reliance on China for all these critical rare earth metals and mining."
