With rampant runaway inflation, high energy costs, people unwilling to work, and all of the other failures this administration has caused, it will be the only possible outcome.

Vernon Taylor

Always worried when Dems are elected.

Adam

Yet nobody, NOBODY has proved there was any fraud in the election. As JH said, no AG has filed a case regarding election fraud. Just keep believing in the big lie

Lisa Gore

Because duh. Our country is in economic free fall and the Biden Admin caused it. Reopen the Keystone Pipeline, stop the flow of illegal immigrants, and have more pride in our country...but they are steering us to “accept less” one admin said don’t have pets they cost $. We need Trump back ASAP!

Adam I get what you are trying to say but disinformation or news bias is not something strictly republican or democrat everyone falls for it. Do I agree with what Lisa says most of the time? No, but articles like that won't help where conversations can be better used

Julius Ketsenburg

Politicians are out for themselves not the people who hey are suppose to be serving

Adam

Fraudulent election had nothing to do about the question of the day. Yes the right wing people keep throwing fraud out at every chance. Yet still no proof of it.

The economy is actually in pretty good shape except for some inflation. Oil is a global commodity and presidents have very little control of gas prices. Jobs are plentiful and grocery stores can`t get enough checkout operators because there are plenty of better paying jobs to be had elsewhere

Your head is stuck in the sand again, or somewhere.

MAX, There wasn`t room. Your head was already there

One of your more skillful responses, or did you have help?

It`s not hard to compete with you Maxy. I don`t even have to shift out of first gear

Like most drivers, I have one hand holding my fast food, other hand holding my cell phone, a knee on the steering wheel, and rarely look up from my cell phone so I don't know if other drivers are so irresponsible to be driving distracted or not. I certainly don't drive distracted, that's bad. FJB

Faye Friedrich

Many time ppl are seen looking/using phone while driving crossing the line on the road or having to slam on their brakes so they don't hit the car in front of them.

I now own my second hybrid.

k san

If they ever made one that could go longer distances. I have seen only 1 recharging station for such cars at Fred Meyer. To make them attractive, need many more recharging stations. Until then, no thx

Torina Wilson

How about YES!, but it’s too expensive. Therefore, I’ll wait

Kerie Raymond

We have an EV for local & shorter range trips (have gone to Vancourver, WA & Eugene, OR) and a Hybrid for longer range trips. Electricity is $10/month, and nothing once we have PV. No maintenance cost

Electric vehicles need to be cheaper for me to invest in one. I'm just trying to get from point A to point B on a budget!

Because I want to make that choice being I'm a free individual in the United States of America. Free to make my own choices and not be told by a dictator governor of the State of Oregon. FDKB.

George Pearson

No one forced me! I love getting 50 mpg while gas guzzlers are paying my share!

Fred Colbern

Government is already controlling you when you drive. Ever stop at a stoplight? That's some university indoctrinated bureaucrat deciding how long you will be made to sit there and wait for his little technocracy to "turn the light green" so you can go.

GT Thomas

I do not want a vehicle liberals try to force on me.

Bob A. Bui

Screwing your kids/grandchildren to own the libs? Nice.

George Pearson

No one is forcing you! Watch something else beside Fox for a change, to get a full picture!

poor turtle

I mean I would but they are too expensive. Honestly I would rather to not drive at all and take the bus everywhere but that isn't currently realistic.

Karen Barker Rouse

Can’t imagine it would make long road trips easy.

Kerie Raymond

Not easy, but doable! Worth it in the long run.

Douglas E. Wilson

We are being priced out of everything by so called do gooders!

Robert Northrup

If it would meet my needs yes. Unfortunately there are none currently that can.

Christena

I've always wanted a hybrid but having my vehicles paid off it's just not worth it.

dan bob

Although it’s environmentally friendly, it is far too expensive. Perhaps in the future when corporations become competitive in this area and sell vehicles at cheaper prices.

Hugh Jjggh

It’s not that it’s too expensive I just like gas powered cars and I love hearing the engine rev unfortunately kids today will never understand not only what that 3rd pedal is for but also a real car

Heidi Owen

Most people I know cannot afford them, but I'll bet kate brown can....

Kerie Raymond

We were fortunate to buy an EV new with substantial discounts and rebates, credits. $16K for a $34K new car. I don't think it's too expensive.

Ben Wiborg

Expensive or not the power cells are the problem when it come to disposal or manufacture.

Sam Ackerman

NO, I will however buy a vehicle that fits my needs.
