I’m still waiting 4 weeks on for my ICCU to be fixed on my Hyundai Ionic 5 with less than 18,000 miles. Hyundai/Kia/Genesis is not admitting the extent of the problems with their EV cars. I loved the car but having to do the lemon law buyback program now. I’m so frustrated with this.

So no support for education, research, libraries, museums, science, environment, arts, national parks, farmers, elderly, labor class, disabled, disenfranchised, or poor any more. But lots of money for billionaires and businesses that destroy the environment and our social fabric.

We need a new free speech movement.
