    Can they recall the electric Humvee? With its ridiculous weight and very fast acceleration, that thing is a menace to anyone or anything unfortunate enough to be in collision with one.

      I was building an automation line that was going to be used to manufacture the battery tray for Hummers. When I found out in 2020 that my workplace was considered essential service during the covid lockdowns, I pretty much lost my mind. Stupidest fucking thing I ever heard.

      There’s nothing essential about an electric Hummer.

      I don’t work there anymore.

        There’s not even anything essential about auto manufacturing in general. Even if it was an American Kei car line making inexpensive vehicles more generally useful daily than nearly anything currently available in the US.
