Not to be outdone, libtards in Salinas take money from the tax payers and fund a green job that was really nohing but pure crap, to the tune of 500K. After all, there is no crack pot idea to strange or stupid to be funded, as long as you're paying for it with OPM (Other People's Money). That is Liberalism at its core, screw the producers in taxes and fund one pipe dream after another.
EXCERPT: "A Salinas car manufacturing company that was expected to build environmentally friendly electric cars and create new jobs folded before almost any vehicles could run off the assembly line. The city of Salinas had invested more than half a million dollars in Green Vehicles, an electric car start-up company. All of that money is now gone, according to Green Vehicles President and Co-Founder Mike Ryan. The start-up company set up shop in Salinas When the company still ran into financial trouble last year, the city of Salinas handed Ryan an additional $240,000. Green Vehicles also received $187,000 from the California Energy Commission. Salinas Mayor Dennis Donohue said he was "surprised and disappointed" by the news. City officials were equally irked that Ryan notified them through an email that his company had crashed and burned. Salinas Economic Development Director Jeff Weir said Green Vehicles flopped because of a lack of investors. Donohue said he will work with the state to try to get at least $240,000 back from the now-defunct company."
The Mayor was "surprised and disappointed" that a piece of crap that probably held a charge for less than the POS Junkrolet Volt (40 miles) and probably had a top speed of 25 mph, and that cost an arm and a leg top buy, failed. Duh. A lack of investors, that is a hoot. Investing in green jobs, that have yet to bring in a profit anywhere, would be like investing in a buggy whip company today. As the saying goes, "a fool and his money are soon parted."
Especially when liberal idiots are running the show.
IMAGINE, NO ONE WANTED TO INVEST IN THIS POS!

Why these city "leaders" aren't being tarred and feathered and run out of town with flamethrowers aimed at their asses is beyond me. Stupid people in this town who voted for these types of pols deserve whatever the fuck they get. This wasn't a mistake,this is criminal negligence. BTW,y'all see any Teslas running around? I've seen ONE prototype. It was on my friend's transporter,TWO YEARS ago.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that you noticed that every demmerhoid is "surprised" when their bullshit ideas explode in their faces.
ReplyDeleteClyde,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE seeing Blue cities and Dem voters get the shaft like this. Seeing them getting screwed over by the dingbats and crooks they ote in is hilarious.
Hardnox,
ReplyDeletePT Barnum must have been thinking of Libs when he said, "there is a sucker born every minute."
"King Putt"! I'm stealing that one!
ReplyDeleteThat car looks really cool. If my wife ever leaves me I'm gonna get one to pick up chicks. Really stupid chicks.
ReplyDeleteKinda reminds me back in the days of Jimmy Carter his DOT secretary Joan Claybrook spent (wasted) a couple million dollars trying to design a safer motorcycle.
ReplyDeleteHer solution? A motorcycle that STEERED FROM THE REAR!!!
She had a prototype but NOBODY could ride it without crashing....
Oh, yeah, those old cars with 85mph speedos??
yeah
She ordained ALL vehicles should have 85mph speedos. She thought it would make folks drive slower.
My '81 Sporty had one. Til I went over the handlebars and took it out with my right knee.
Got a 120mph replacement.
