VP Harris Gets Oddly Excited About School Buses

Kamala Harris really loves electric school buses. They seem to be her favorite thing, more than anything else. Venn diagrams.

The vice president has been serving as vice president for many years. Given public speeches The amazingness of seemingly ordinary vehicles is extolled. It doesn’t matter that public buses in general are often an inefficient waste of taxpayer money, nor does it matter that spending hours a day commuting on buses constitutes a waste of human productivity. Harris is passionate about those long, complicated things and wants you to understand it.

Aside from that, did you know you can charge your phone on these cases?

Why does she sound like she’s about to burst out into full-blown laughter? Does she really find her spill about charging one’s phone on an electric bus that hilarious? I wonder if the speakers are deliberately trying to make her look silly.

Given that you cannot charge your phone or use an internet connection while riding in a gasoline-powered vehicle, it is obvious that her excitement is justified. These are completely new features that were only possible because of the cobalt mining by child slaves in Africa. Western elites can feel like the planet is being saved. Conversely, those are things we’ve all been doing in our cars for many years and that no vice president should be gushing about.

Here’s my question about all this. Why is the federal government spending billions of taxpayer dollars to purchase electric buses? I mean, I’m not even outright dismissing the idea that electric buses may be the future, but if they are, then they should have no problem gaining popularity on their own. Further, if they truly save money as claimed, then I’m sure cities will be jumping at the chance to upgrade.

I suspect there’s more to the story, though. While environmental groups and leftwing outlets have flooded the zone with studies supposedly proving how amazing electric buses are, the constant full-court press by the White House makes me think the math isn’t quite as rosy as they assert. I also think that more than a few politicians are financial beneficiaries from their adoption.
