World Economic Forum calls to reduce private vehicles by eliminating 'ownership'

[FOX] The World Economic Forum is looking to reduce global reliance on critical metals as nations look to make the transition to renewable energy supplies, and one proposal is reducing ownership of private vehicles.
Would that include private jets and yachts that carry the elites to Vail, Davos, Paris? I thought not. FOAD
"This transition from fossil fuels to renewables will need large supplies of critical metals such as cobalt, lithium, nickel, to name a few," the forum said in a report earlier this month. "Shortages of these critical minerals could raise the costs of clean energy technologies."

The international lobbying organization based in Switzerland has proposed three solutions for lowering the costs of critical metals used in everything from cellphones and electric vehicles to wind turbines and efficient lighting.

#2 We are halfway there. Folks lease now so they can flip the car in 4-5 years and get a new one. Young generation that grew up on Lyft and uber don't even feel the need for a car, they don't see freedom they see costs.

The World Economic Forum is just stupid to call attention to things that are already heading their way, then again they would be commie sympathizers if they weren't stupid..

Urban young. Rural young don't have that option.

#5 And so we see that "climate Change" is just another made up crisis to be used as a pretext to turn us all into slaves. FOAD is indeed the appropriate response.

#6 No private transportation means moving to an urban center. Hive cities are easy to rule and police selectively. Think of the Imperial Roman model, proles in the Subura, Patricians on the Palatine with their wealth coming from estates and country mansions to escape the ordeals of city life. WEF, what is old is new again, and behind it, the shadowy but real Middle Kingdom Imperium plan.

#10 Folks lease now so they can flip the car in 4-5 years and get a new one.

In the old days a union worker expected to own his own home and buy a new car no less than every thee years. While legally there is a difference, I’m not sure that functionally there is — given that for a price that lease can be turned into a purchase.

#11 I can't speak for Union workers but nearly everyone I know got a parents car as their first. If you keep getting new ones you never get it paid off entirely.

#12 That's right. I'll just call in a favor to the limo company I own and they will drive me to my private plane, where I'll fly to my private yacht, sail to Epstein Island redux, anchor on the leeward side, and get my Chuck Norris on.

#13 My model for car ownership - buy a car coming off a three year lease and run that sonofabitch into the ground. It's served me well so far.
