You have many good points within this article. I am glad to see you put them out for debate. THE AMERICAN WAY! America was born upon consensus. We may not agree BUT, what can we agree upon or at least agree to disagree? Keep up the good work.
While the republican strategy appears to be buying trump bibles and worthless meme stocks Curtis. And Lord help us, let's not forget those glorious golden sneakers. I'll take democrats for $100 Alex.
As far as Biden and the Israeli/Gaza struggles; i would love to see a workable solution between the two parties joining together on humanitarian aid. No easy task, because eliminating Hamas is critical; allowing millions of innocents to die is simply poor optics and worse yet, lacks human empathy on the worst level.
Biden's goal has been consistent: de-escalate and prevent civilian casualties. Netanyahu is willing to burn bridges and lose moral high ground for selfish political and legal reasons. Israel could have wrapped this up a lot faster by going into Rafah months ago: instead, they're drawing out the war to last as long as possible: that's led to a reversal in approval for Israel's war actions in the US (recent Gallup poll showing 55%/36% disapproval/approval, which was 45%/50% in November).
RE: EVs - we just found a huge supply of lithium in California, and there are alternatives on the way (sodium ion batteries, for example). There are also alternatives to using rare earths in the magnets needed for EV motors.
That said: if we really want to hit emissions goals, then basically everything should be hybridized - either standard hybrid or plug-in types. The latter would - if people charged every night - result in little gas usage for typical daily use (especially with new battery tech on the way).
Israel: War is hell! Hamas needs this lesson and hopefully they will not exist after the lesson.
Ev's: A thumb on the scale does not make Ev's worth the money, economically viable, nor have any thing to do with simple economic principles. All they have to do with is someone's stated goal. They have nothing whatsoever to do with supply and demand. If Ev's can survive using common sense perhaps then they will flourish.
Hamas needs no lesson. It needs to be non-existent.
EVs are coming. Watch fire engines. When you see more electric fire engines than gas-powered you'll know. They will eventually be the way we drive. But not for a few decades. Not in 8 years.
As stated above, it's not about Hamas - that's something both the US and Israel agree upon. It's about the civilians and Israel's need to ensure there is a plan for the day after - 'cause it's their legal and moral responsibility to ensure the well-being of the civilians in areas they control.
What we need is for EVs to weigh less (solid state batteries coming in a couple of years), and frankly there needs be a more bare-bones model that does the basic point A to point B. The bells and whistles are nice, but they're making vehicles far more expensive: leave out the internal GPS nav, have options for the adaptive cruise control/backup sensors (not cameras, those should be standard)/etc... Those are nice to haves, not need to haves.
The one thing I think every EV *should* have is V2L, like you have on your EV6 (and is missing from my Niro EV Wind), to make each vehicle an emergency power source.
Civilians != Hamas, and Hamas is more than happy to have civilians die. It's not teaching Hamas a lesson, and it's Israel's legal responsibility to ensure civilians deaths are avoided/civilians are cared for in areas they control.
EVs are economically viable: Hyundai is making profit on the Ioniq 5 and 6, right now.
Today it seems both Republican and Democrat parties are trying to convince me stay home in November.

Buying votes is the democrat strategy. Sometimes it's student loan forgiveness. Sometimes it's pacifying Muslims and other radicals in swing states.

My workable strategy for Hamas is kill them all. War is hell, it needs to be so everyone, even Hamas, will want to avoid it.
Well, important thing to keep in mind: Netanyahu is now reversing course and sending a delegation to Washington to discuss Rafah, per https://twitter.com/BarakRavid/status/1773025239909212612.

War is hell and there is no better way to resolve making people thinking of it any other way. It needs to be hell!
